Rivendell
I don't own Digimon or the Hobbit
The Wargs howled once again as they ran towards the forest the company were in before Radagast emerged with a mad cackle his Rhosgobel Rabbits pulling his sled quickly. "Come and get me!" he taunted and the Orc pack leader spoke in a dark language and the pack raced off after the Brown Wizard.
Daisuke and Gandalf peeked out from behind a large formation of boulders they and the rest of the company were hiding behind and watched Radagast lead the pack away. "That guy is insane," Daisuke muttered. "The coast is clear come on." She told the others and they all ran off across the open terrain making sure to keep an eye on Radagast and the pack in case they discovered the ruse.
Radagast weaved between the small patches of rocks and boulders throughout the area and a few of the Orc riders crashed into the boulders or fell off their mounts when they tripped. "Stay together," Gandalf told the company as they kept running.
"Watch it!" Daisuke shouted pulling Ori behind a boulder as he ran out just as the pack ran past.
"Thank you," Ori said and she smiled.
"Don't mention it," she said and the group ran off again.
"Where are you leading us?" Thorin asked Gandalf who didn't answer as he ran off and Thorin followed. Radagast looked back at the pack as they kept following him until one stopped his Warg and sniffed the air and growled and split from the group to follow the scent.
The company hid under a boulder that peeked over a hill and heard the orc approach and they held their breath, Thorin turned to Kili and gave a nod to his nephew's bow and he nodded. He drew an arrow and stepped out from cover and shot the Warg which howled in pain, the orc reached for his horn but before he could blow it he was struck by an arrow in the shoulder falling off the Warg and down the hill in front of the company as did the Warg.
The howls of the Warg made the rest of the pack stop following Radagast and the leader of the pack growled. The Orc roared and drew his blade before Veemon rammed his head into the Orc knocking it down and smashed his face in quickly covering his fists in blood and he panted as Dwalin finished off the Warg as more howls filled the air.
"Run!" Gandalf shouted and the company ran as fast as they could as the pack gave chase.
"They'll catch us soon enough," Dwalin said. "Wizard you'd better have a plan!"
"There they are!" Gloin shouted pointing to the pack as they neared them.
"This way, quickly!" Gandalf shouted and they ran. Thorin stopped as he saw some of the pack emerge over a hill.
"There's more coming!" Fili shouted as more of the pack appeared on their flank.
"Kili shoot them!" Thorin ordered as the company began getting in a circle. Gandalf looked around for something until he saw a large rock and he ran towards it which was missed by everyone else. Kili shot one Orc in the chest with an arrow killing it, Ori fired a rock from his slingshot but it bounced off the Warg's snout only further irritating the beast.
"Where's Gandalf?" Nori shouted.
"He's abandoned us!" Dwalin replied drawing his axes standing beside Thorin who drew his new sword while holding an axe is his other hand.
"Hold your ground!" he told the company as Daisuke drew her sword and stood beside Bilbo who drew his sword as well.
"Stay close to me." She said looking at the Hobbit who nodded. "Come on you furballs, I could do with a new coat!" she shouted.
"This way you fools!" everyone turned to see Gandalf emerge from behind a rock before he disappeared again.
"Come on let's go!" Daisuke shouted and the others began running towards where Gandalf went and began jumping down a hole. A Warg lunged at her but Thorin stepped in the way and killed it with his sword and both saw Kili firing his arrows at the Orcs and their mounts. "Kili! Run!" Daisuke shouted and he looked back before running towards them and he jumped down the hole with his brother, Veemon and Thorin following. Daisuke was about to jump down the hole when a Warg lunged for her and she rolled out of the way and found herself being surrounded by the pack and she gulped.
"Daisuke!" Veemon shouted and he tried to climb back up to help his partner before he was grabbed by Kili. "Let me go! She needs my help!" he shouted flailing his arms and legs frantically.
"There's nothing we can do for her now. She signed the contract, she knew the risks," Thorin said coldly before they heard a horn sound that made the Dwarves share a look. Daisuke looked to see a group of figures on horseback riding towards her and the pack, she hit the ground as the riders began firing arrows from their bows at the Orcs killing many of them while others stabbed the Wargs with spears, the leader of the Orc pack roared in anger before he fled with one more Orc while the rest were slaughtered.
The rest of the company listened to the battle above them when an Orc fell through the hole and landed with an arrow in its neck which Thorin pulled out and he looked at it in disgust. "Elves," he spat glaring at Gandalf.
"I cannot see where the pathway leads, do we follow it or not?" Dwalin asked as he stood at the end of the pathway.
"Follow it, of course," Bofur answered running off and the other Dwarves followed.
"I think that would be wise," Gandalf said and Veemon glared at him while Bilbo had a look of concern. "Do not worry my friends, Daisuke is in good hands." He said with a knowing smile walking off and the Digimon and Hobbit shared a look before following the wizard.
Daisuke looked up and saw the fighting was over and got to her feet only to find herself standing in front of the riders who saved her. "Strange for a human to be travelling alone on the Great East Road." One of the riders said dismounting his horse and walking toward her and she saw he had long brown hair, smooth skin, pointy ears and had no signs of aging from what she could see.
"Uh long story. But thanks for saving me back there," she said and the person nodded slightly.
"You are welcome. You are lucky we were in the area otherwise you might not have been so lucky," he said and Daisuke nodded.
"Say do you guys know where that hole leads to?" she asked and the person nodded.
"It leads to the city of Imladris, but in the common tongue it is known as Rivendell." He answered.
"Rivendell, why would Gandalf lead us there?" Daisuke asked herself but the person heard her.
"Mithrandir was here?" he asked and she blinked at the name. "Gandalf," he clarified for her.
"You know Gandalf?" she asked.
"Of course, he has visited Rivendell many times. We'd best not keep him waiting, do you wish to join us?" the person asked her.
"I would but I don't want to be a bother, if only Yamato hadn't run off," she answered before noticing a familiar black horse approaching and she smiled. "Yamato, I thought you ran off when the Wargs showed up." She said and the horse shook its head.
"Seems you can join us after all," one of the other riders said and she nodded and climbed onto the horse. "Well lead the way. And do you mind if I ask for your name?"
"Not at all. I am Elrond, Lord of Rivendell." He said with a bow of his head.
"Daisuke Motomiya," Daisuke replied with a smile and she followed the riders as they rode off. "How did you know where I was?" she asked Yamato who huffed. "A lucky guess?" she asked with a pout and she could swear her horse was laughing as it neighed and she groaned.
Meanwhile the rest of the company moved through the pass as it narrowed greatly with Bombur barely able to fit through miraculously. Soon they made it out and stood overlooking a place that made Bilbo's eyes go wide at what he saw. "Oh my," he whispered.
"You said it," Veemon replied in awe while the Dwarves had looks of disgust on their faces.
"The Valley of Imladris. In the common tongue, it is known by another name." Gandalf said standing behind the group.
"Rivendell," Bilbo said with a smile.
"Here lies the Last Homely House East of the Sea." Gandalf added making Thorin glare and approach him.
"This was your plan all along. To seek refuge with our enemy." He said angrily and Gandalf frowned.
"You have no enemies here, Thorin Oakenshield. The only ill will to be found in this valley is that which you bring yourself."
"You think the Elves will give our quest their blessing? They will try to stop us," Thorin told him.
"Of course they will. But we have questions that need to be answered." He reminded Thorin who sighed knowing the wizard was right. "If we are to be successful, this will be need to be handled with tact. And respect. And no small degree of charm. Which is why you will leave the talking to me." The company soon walked towards Rivendell and walked across a small pathway and stood on a circle platform with the Dwarves looking around in disgust while Veemon and Bilbo were in awe of the beauty of the place.
"Mithrandir," an Elf said walking down a set of stairs to greet the company.
"Ah. Lindir," Gandalf said greeting the Elf.
"Stay sharp," Thorin whispered to Dwalin who nodded slightly as the Elf spoke to Gandalf in Elvish.
"I must speak with Lord Elrond," he said.
"My lord Elrond is not here," Lindir informed him.
"Not here? Where is he?" Gandalf asked before a horn sounded and he smiled slightly turning to see a row of horses entering Rivendell before he heard Thorin shout in Dwarvish to the company.
"Close ranks!" he shouted as Bilbo and Veemon were pushed into the centre of the circle as the Dwarves grabbed their weapons as the Elves began circling the company.
"Gandalf," Elrond said with a smile aimed at the Wizard.
"Lord Elrond. Where have you been?" Gandalf asked him in Elvish.
"We've been hunting a pack of Orcs that came up from the south." Elrond answered dismounting his horse. "We slew a number near the hidden pass, and we also encountered someone who said they were travelling with you." He added as Daisuke dismounted Yamato and grinned at the Dwarves, Veemon and Bilbo.
"Yo," she greeted as Veemon jumped out of the circle and into her arms and hugged her.
"Don't do that again," he mumbled and Daisuke rolled her eyes.
"I won't. Sorry I worried you," she said gently and he smiled before jumping to the floor.
"Strange for Orcs to come so close to our borders. Someone, or something has drawn them near," Elrond said in common tongue holding up an Orc blade he took as a trophy before handing it to Lindir.
"Ah, that may have been us," Gandalf replied looking at the company as Elrond approached Thorin and nodded his head slightly but Thorin didn't return it.
"Welcome, Thorin, son of Thrain," he greeted.
"I do not believe we have met before," Thorin said with barely contained anger.
"You have your grandfather's bearing. I knew Thror when he ruled under the mountain." Elrond said.
"Indeed? He made no mention of you," Thorin said and Daisuke rolled her eyes as did Gandalf and Veemon.
"Sheesh would it kill you be a bit nicer?" Daisuke asked and Thorin glanced at her. "I highly doubt Elrond would allow you into Rivendell just to kill you or lock you up."
"You can never trust Elves lass, always planning something," Dwalin told her and she sighed before Elrond spoke in Elvish which seemed to anger the Dwarves.
"What is he saying? Does he offer us insults!?" Gloin shouted as the Dwarves began shouting.
"No Master Gloin he's offering you food," Gandalf told him and the Dwarves all began muttering to themselves in a huddle making Daisuke and Veemon chuckle.
"Well in that case lead on," Gloin said and Elrond nodded.
"Elladan," he said and one of the Elves dismounted their horse and approached him. "Please escort Miss Motomiya to her room so that she may wash and dress for dinner." He said.
"At once father," the elf now known as Elladan said with a nod before he smiled at Daisuke who followed him as Veemon made to follow before he was stopped by Elrond.
"She won't be harmed, you have my word," he told the Digimon who nodded reluctantly and the rest of the company followed Elrond and Gandalf to dinner. Daisuke was led by Elladan through Rivendell until they arrived at their destination.
"Here we are. Your bath has been drawn for you and someone will bring you some clothes to wear while yours are being washed," the elf said and Daisuke nodded.
"Thank you Elladan." She said and the Elf bowed his head to her before leaving closing the doors behind him. Daisuke took her sword and placed it on the bed before she removed her clothes and folded them up putting them on the bed as well, she then placed her D-3 and D-Terminal on the bedside table before she jumped into the bath and sighed gently. "Can't believe how long it's been since I've had an actual bath, travelling with the company and washing in a cold stream or river is fine but this is just heaven."
With the rest of the company, they all were sitting at a table as some Elves played gentle music while the Dwarves stared at the food in front of them. "Where's the meat?" Dwalin asked as all he could see were greens and other vegetables.
"I don't like green food," Ori said childishly holding up a green leaf as Dori tried to encourage him to at least try the food.
"On that we agree," Veemon said pushing his plate away from him. "Never did like vegetables myself."
"They're not so bad," Bilbo told him and the Dwarves as he ate his meal without complaint.
"That's because Hobbits eat vegetables all the time. How can you not get sick of them?" Bofur asked him.
"Well we don't eat vegetables with every meal." The Hobbit explained. "Only with supper and luncheon."
"Luncheon?" Gloin asked as the company looked at the Hobbit. "How many meals do you Hobbits have a day?"
"Well seven in total. Breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner and supper." He answered before noticing the stunned looks the company was giving him. "What?" he asked.
"You eat seven meals a day? We've been starving you, you should have told us Bilbo!" Bombur exclaimed and Bilbo blushed.
"No, it's not a problem, it's not a big deal. We don't need to eat all seven meals." He quickly explained trying to calm the Dwarves down, while this was happening Elrond and Gandalf sat at another table with Thorin amused at the conversation taking place.
"A strange choice for a burglar my old friend," Elrond said to the wizard who smiled and nodded while Thorin rolled his eyes slightly. Meanwhile Daisuke climbed out of the bath and grabbed a towel and she began drying herself off before hearing a knock at the door.
"Come in," she said and the doors opened and a female Elf with black hair walked in. "Who are you?" she asked politely.
"My name is Arwen, my brother asked if I would bring you something to wear while you are in Imladris," the Elf answered with a smile and Daisuke looked at the dress in Arwen's arms and she frowned.
"A dress, no offence but why a dress?" she asked.
"My brother said you wanted something to show off your beauty," Arwen answered and Daisuke blinked.
"Remind me to kill Elladan," she said taking the dress and Arwen smiled and nodded slightly before leaving Daisuke to get dressed.
The dress Arwen had given her didn't look bad. It was a long red dress reaching the floor with silver ascents around the neckline, with long sleeves with silver ascents around the wrist area and the area between the elbow and shoulder. The ascents were elven in design if she had to guess, there was a belt made of silver discs that met in the middle and more silver discs going down the front of the dress and they had Elvish designs carved into them consisting of flowers and vines.
She heard someone knock at the door. "Come in," she said thinking it was Arwen coming to check on her. However, she heard a gulp and someone stuttering and she turned around and blushed to see Kili was standing in the doorway blushing.
"Um…uh…sorry…I…" he tried to explain before Daisuke screamed loudly which was heard by the others, they jumped to their feet and ran off followed by Gandalf and Elrond.
"Get out! Get out!" Daisuke shouted throwing anything she could at Kili who ducked and dodged quickly as he tried to explain before he was hit in the face by Daisuke's boot and he fell down unconscious, Daisuke stormed towards the doors and slammed them shut as the company found Kili on the ground surrounded by the objects thrown at him by Daisuke.
"Well no mystery as to what happened here," Veemon said shaking his head as Fili laughed holding his sides while the other Dwarves shook their heads while Thorin sighed.
"Come on Dwalin let's get my nephew out of here before he suffers the wrath of Miss Motomiya again," he said grabbing Kili's legs and Dwalin grabbed his arms and they carried him off followed by the company, Gandalf and Elrond.
