Fight!
Frerin waved to the crowd as he led Bofur to their seats.
"Wow, people are really excited about this fight, aren't they?"
"Of course they are Bofur. I don't think anyone likes Bazani and everyone loves Bilbo. They want Tauriel to win."
"Well, so do I."
Chuckling, Frerin pressed a kiss to Bofur's cheek. After weeks of glares and the cold shoulder, Bofur had finally forgiven him for the abduction of their son. As Bilbo pointed out, it wasn't Frerin's fault. It was Bazanis. Frerin knew his husband was looking forward to the Queens humiliation. Truth be told so was he. He smiled at his nephews as they took their seats beside him.
"Fili, Kili, how are you?"
"Good, Uncle Frerin. Where's Borin?"
"He's a bit too young to see something this vicious."
"You think this will be a dirty fight?"
Bofur laughed at Kili's question.
"Oh Kili, I think we forget just how young you are. Bazani is fighting for everything here, and we know she's not afraid to fight dirty. I'd be concerned if Tauriel wasn't such a strong warrior."
Kili's answer was cut off by the arrival of the Royal Couple, Bilbo and Dis, who was Bilbo's carer during his pregnancy. The cheering crowd silenced as Thorin stood, waiting to speak.
"My people, it warms my heart to see so many of you here to support this tradition. I know we are all eager for the fight, so without further delay, bring the warriors to the ring."
Tauriel and Bulgrim walked into the ring, both nodding to the crowd and bowing to the royal family, Tauriel smiling at Bilbo. Thorin nodded to the two warriors, silently wishing Tauriel luck.
"The tournament begins...NOW!"
The king settled into his chair, smiling as Bilbo moved closer to him.
"Do you think Tauriel can win? Oh, that was an impressive backflip. I wish I could do that."
"She will win. Look, Bulgrim is on the defensive. He's too used to fighting Orcs and Goblins. Fighting someone who can move as fast as Tauriel and can think independently like her will cause problems."
Bilbo smirked, glancing at Bazani. She looked worried. She knew she wasn't going to win. Kili winced as Bulgrim roared in pain.
"Well, that's his axe broken."
"Not just his axe Fili, his arm too. I never knew Tauriel could be so...vicious."
"Should have seen her at the Battle of the Five Armies when you were stabbed. She was furious."
"Aw, she likes me. Oh, Bulgrim got a hit in."
"Not much of one. Did he even draw blood?"
"No. I'll give Mirkwood one thing, they have got some good armour."
"Hm, Bulgrim is losing ground. He's been on the defensive since the fight started."
"Yeah, wonder how Tauriel will finish it."
"Bilbo, Tauriel trained you. How do you think she'll finish the fight?"
"Well, she likes me. So because of that, she really doesn't like Bulgrim. Whatever she does, it's going to be painful. And possibly humiliating."
Thorin leaned forward in his seat as Tauriel sent Bulgrim's second axe flying.
"It looks like she will end it soon my love."
"Really?"
The crowd gasped as Tauriel drove her knee into Bugrim's groin. As he fell to his knees, she kneed him in the nose, breaking it. When the dwarf fell to his back, dizzy with pain, Tauriel raised her arms over her head. Bilbo's champion was victorious.
The Ironquarry family stood in front of Thorin's throne. The king sat in front of them, Bilbo standing at his right hand side, his siblings and nephews on his left. Thorins started to speak.
"We know everything. We know you arranged for Borin to be kidnapped, for me to be poisoned and for Bilbo to be murdered. Have you anything to say?"
Bazani burst into tears, throwing herself at Thorin's feet.
"I'm sorry Thorin. It was all my father's idea. I wanted no part of it."
"I might have believed that once. But I have seen your true side Bazani. You are a heartless woman. Maybe you do love me, but that love has become warped and I want no part of it."
Bazani wiped her tears and sttod beside her family again, glaring at Bilbo.
"I thought long and hard about how I was going to punish you my Queen. Your father and brother could have been innocent, except you dragged them into this. Then, once they were a part of your plans, they took to it like a bird to air. None of you are innocent, however, you Bazani are the leader."
"Are you going to banish us?"
"No. Balgrim and Bulgrim Ironquarry, I sentence you to death. Bazani, you are no longer Queen. You shall spend the rest of your days working in the laundry rooms. You will spend the rest of your life knowing that it was your actions that led to the deaths of your family."
He nodded to the guards and the Ironquarrys, screaming and protesting their innocence, were dragged from their room. As the door closed behind them, Bazani saw Thorin pull Bilbo into his lap, joy on his face.
Bazani Ironquarry had lost.
