Summary: Bilbo returns and Bazani moves into her new rooms

Homeward Bound
The messenger raced towards Mirkwood, knowing that his life was on the line. As he crossed the border an arrow whistled through the air, stopping him in his tracks. An elf stepped from the trees (maybe a female? He couldn't really tell without the beard, braids and beads).
"And why has a dwarf entered the woodland realm?"
"I have a royal message for Bilbo Baggins."
The grip on the bow tightened.
"Any message from that...that thing you call queen is not wanted here. Return to your kingdom and let her know that Mirkwood will no dealings with Erebor while she sits on the throne."
The elf turned to leave. Desperate, the dwarf lunged forward, grabbing the elves hand (oohh, soft).
"Wait, the message isn't from the queen. It's from King Thorin."
Bilbo couldn't believe it. Thorin was alive. And Bilbo was returning home.
"Remind me again,what is happening with Bazani?"
"She is forbidden to speak to you, or even look at you. And she is moving to the Rooms of the Second Wife. You will take her place in the Royal Rooms."
Okay, Bilbo could work with that. While not as final as a divorce, or say, an execution, it would make life a bit easier for the hobbit. He smiled at Erebor in the distance. Two more days and he'd finally be back where he belongs, with Thorin. Okay, something still had to be done with Bazani, but Bilbo and the Company would worry about that after the feast to celebrate Thorin's recovery. Now, all he wanted to do was get home and tend to his King.
Bazani was furious. And humiliated. She could not believe that she was relegated to these rooms. She had seen the look on Fili's face. She knew the Company supported Thorin's decision. No matter. Once she had her rightful place at Thorin's side as Queen, she would put them in their place. Beneath her. Maybe even beneath the rock. And she wasn't talking about the mines.
And the hobbit? Oh, Bazani had plans for him. And she was no longer happy with just banishing him. Bilbo would die. And his death would be slow and painful. What's more, Bazani would have his name wiped from history. No more Bilbo on the quest or Bilbo and his magic ring. As far as Erebor would be concerned, hobbits never left their little homes in the Shire. After a couple of years, no one would know the name Bilbo Baggins. But everyone would know Queen Bazani, faithful, loving wife to King Thorin. But first, the hobbit had to die. Bazani had to take her time, think things over. Come up with a foolproof plan. Yes, that's what she'd do. Plan and then when the time was exactly right, strike! Soon, Bilbo Baggins would be a thing of the past, Bazani would make sure of that.
A/N So, Bazani is crazy, yes? Guess who can update now that she has a two week break? This gal! Next chapter, Bilbo and Thorin are reunited and rumours start spreading at the feast
