The Battle of the Twelve Armies was finally over, but many fighters from each and every army had died in the terrible battle. In Dale, Percy blows on a huge horn, and all the Northrons, who are gathered along the walls, stare out reverently at Erebor.

Buffy and the rest of her troops that fought and survived gathered the corpses of their fighters who perished. Among those that perished were Larry Blaisdell, Gwen Ditchik, and Scott Hope. Buffy's plan was to have them buried back in Sunnydale once she and everyone else attend Thórin's funeral.

Later on, everyone gathers in the funeral where the corpses of Fíli, Kíli, and Thórin Oakenshield were all laid on flat stone plinths. The sword orcrist was placed on Thórin and the Arkenstone was held by Buffy. Tears were streaming down in a lot of faces as Tauriel, Bálin, Dóri, Dwálin, Glóin, Nóri, Óin, Óri, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Angel, Cordelia, Riley, Samantha, Xander, Anya, Harmony, Faith, Tara, Oz, Willow, Spike, Buffy, Joyce, Lance, Heidi, Tor, Rhonda, Kyle, Devon, Amy, Vaughne, Owen, Roy, and Joy were walking around and paying their deepest respects to them in sorrow and grief.

Tauriel couldn't bother staring at Kíli's corpse and cried in sorrow. Bálin was deeply upset as he paid his respect to honor his friend. Clem, Sophie, Razanur Tûk, Bard, Bain, Sigrid, Tilda, Thranduil, Feren, Gandalf, Galadriel, Elrond, Saruman, Radagast, Beorn, and Grimbeorn were all standing together as they watched.

"The King has come unto his own." Gandalf spoke. "Under mountain, under stone. Send him now unto the deep. Unto earth, eternal sleep."

"Under mountain, under stone." The dwarves spoke all together.

"Through all lands, let it be known!" Gandalf continued his speech. "The King is dead."

"Long live the king!" Bálin shouted for his new king and raised his sword up in the air.

"LONG LIVE THE KING!" The Dwarves cheered for their new king, who was revealed to be Dáin.

Dáin lowers his head in respect.

After the long funeral, King Dáin made a promise to every person that he would provide a share of the tresure. The gems were all given to Thranduil, Galadriel, Elrond, and the elves of Mirkwood and Lothlórien. At Dáin's request, he order many dwarves to rebuild the city of Dale, and Bard would become the first king to rule the city. This made Bain, Sigrid, and Tilda the heirs to him.

Fully packed with treasure in his bag, Bilbo and Bálin walk out of the gates of Erebor.

"There is to be a great feast tonight." Bálin announced. "Songs will be sung, tales will be told, and Thórin Oakenshield will pass into legend." He looks at him. "I wish you can stay and celebrate with us, but I know it is time for you to return home."

"I know that's how you must honor him, but to me he was never that..." Bilbo paused and felt a bit upset. "He was...to me...he was…" He was unable to find the words as Bálin smiles fondly at him. "Well, I think I'll slip quietly away. Will you tell we others I said goodbye?"

"You can tell' em yourself." Bálin insisted.

Bilbo looks back and smiles as he sees the other dwarves standing behind him.

"If any of you ever passing Bag End, tea is at four - there's plenty of it." Bilbo spoke to them. "You are welcome anytime."

The dwarves bow and smile to him greatly, and he smiles. He begins to turn away, but then turns back.

"Eh, don't bother knocking." Bilbo added. "And also, you are welcome to come to my birthday this September. There will be mugs of ale, meat, and dancing. Bring as many friends as you like because I am sure we would all like to share our stories."

"And I know we will." Bálin smiled.

The dwarves chuckle, some of them wiping away tears. Bilbo, after waving goodbye, walks toward Gandalf, who is waiting with his horse and a pony for Bilbo. Before they left, Buffy, along with her friends and army, were standing in front.

"Ah, I guess this is a goodbye?" Bilbo asked.

"I believe so." Buffy smiled. "You were very brave... even for a halfling like yourself."

"And we're sorry that we so named you." Faith apologized.

"What do you mean?" Bilbo asked her.

"You're not a coward." Cordelia said. "We were wrong about you."

"You have shown great courage like we have." Riley remarked.

"Well." Bilbo shrugged a bit. "I guess I offer my forgiveness to you all." He took a moment to speak. "Will I ever see you all again?"

"Perhaps." Buffy answered.

"Well if that happens, then you and everyone here are welcome to stop by at the Shire." Bilbo smiled. "You are welcome to attend my birthday and... don't bother knocking at Bag End."

"Oh we will." Xander chuckled a bit.

"Goodbye Bilbo." Willow whispered as she hugs him.

"Goodbye." Bilbo whispered back.

Immediately, Bilbo and Gandalf venture away from Erebor and return back to Eriador.
