Part. 7
Evening darkened. Thorin, Dwalin, Balin, Bofur and Oin prepared to go towards the Hill of Undolin. Get there was about a couple of hours away. They saddled their ponies and according with them a little bit food, weapons and nursing accessories in the event that Fili and Kili, or someone else hurt.
They took to the road, led by Thorin, in silence. The moon was rising in the sky. Fortunately, it would illuminate with its pale light their journey. Their safe, small village was left behind little by little when they went to the dark forest. The shadows lengthened and the lights of village were left behind. Thorin encouraged his pony to more active course and the others followed his example.
The path was uneven and full of rocks and stumps. The group traveled in a gloomy silence. They all had concerns about Thorin's young nephews. They were everything to Thorin, what would happen if they arrive too late?
Gradually, the forest begins to thin down. The moon was shining brightly when they got out of the forest. It was large and pale. The Hill of Undolin was visible about a mile from their current location.
Thorin glanced at the sky, they were coming quickly, and as midnight was still at least an hour. "Stop here." Thorin commanded. "Let's think about the plan one more time and eat little bit. Known to be a long night." Others grumbled and nodded in agreement.
They tied their ponies to the remaining trees and sat down to dinner in the moonlight. In other situation this could be beautiful place, Thorin thought and observed hill while eating. Yet there is no one could be seen, but soon it will be full of movement, he estimate. "Okay. Is the plan clear for everyone? First of all, therefore, we go to the hill. We take assurance that the boys are out there. Then, we have the boys to safety, attack and keep coming back to village. The plan is not much, but better than nothing. We do not even know who we're up against." Thorin spoke and others listened quietly. Soon they would know what was waiting for them. "Look at that!" Exclaimed Dwalin. "On the hill starts to come a bunch of people."
