XI.
A week has passed and dwarves made their way towards the Laketown. Thranduil tried to stop Ireth from continuing but nothing. They travelled with no problems and no orcs to stop them. But none except Ireth knew that they will not come forth because spiders wish to protect Jaelonna the only girl that was nice and polite to them.
As they came to the entrance of the Laketown a fisherman stopped them and enquired about their business in Laketown.
- Excuse me but what are you doing in Laketown no dwarf came near for the last century or so. –
Before Thorin could let his tongue loose Ireth interjected with the tone that any being would recognize the I am better than you in every way possible tone to be precise:
- That is none of your business Bard but we are here to reclaim the mountain and we need to pass the Laketown without your idiotic, good for nothing fool of a human you call Master realizing it. Also why in Valars name have you not made a revolt here you are a the shiting heir of old kings that ruled the Dale not that piece of shit that sits in the throne and certainly people would rather for you to rule them. –
Dwarves just stood there and watched as the man that stopped them gets a tongue lashing of his life. After Ireth finished she just stood there staring in the eyes of Bard. As Bard stared back in the eyes of the woman that played his babysitter after his mother died he replied:
- Ilmarë you couldn't have just said that without that tone and I suppose you will need that Black Arrow that you raged about last time. –
She didn't say anything for a minute but just stood and continued to stare and after a while she finally said:
-We will be waiting on the other side of the town. –
After that she motioned for dwarves to follow her.
They sneaked around. Walking through peoples basements, using back alleys, swimming through lake. It took them good five hours to get on the other side. Not one of the dwarves asked how she knows where everything is.
Gandalf stayed silent. Tough he had done it for her he still feared that she wouldn't forgive him. He feared that she would lose control. He had already lost her once because of his meddling. Elrond warned him about this. About his meddling that has become like a second nature to him.
After five hours of constant walking, sneaking, crawling and running they came to the spot where Bard will meet them. All of them sat on the ground under a big tree and waited for Bard to arrive. As they waited Ireth climbed up the tree to think without being interrupted. While she was thinking she hummed a song that if anyone would hear apart from the Company under the tree would think that a Nymph was crying. She sang a lullaby in Kuzdhul. Bilbo understood it because of his friendship he was taught the language. It went like this:
Constant as the stars above
Always know that you are loved
And my love shining in you
Will help you make your dreams come true
Will help your dreams come true
The lamb lies down and rests it's head
On it's mother's down in bed
Dolphin plays in the moonlight's glow
And butterfly dreams of a violet rose
Dreams of a violet rose
I'll cradle you in my arms tonight
A sun embraces the moonlight
The clouds will carry us off tonight
Our dreams will run deep like the sea
Our dreams will run deep like the sea
Constant as the stars above
Always know that you are loved
And my love shining in you
Will help you make your dreams come true
Will help your dreams come true
Since Bard didn't arrive yet she started murmuring another song that almost lit everything up:
If there's a prize for rotten judgment
I guess I've already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history, been there, done that
Who d'you think you're kidding
He's the earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey we can see right through you (Oh no)
Girl, you can't conceal it
We know how you're feeling
Who you thinking of?
No chance, no way, I won't say it, no, no
You swoon, you sigh, why deny it, oh, oh
It's too cliché, I won't say I'm in love
I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming "get a grip, girl"
"Unless you're dying to cry your heart out"
Girl, you can't deny it
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby we're not buying
Hon we saw you hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown-up
When you gonna own up that you got, got, got it bad?
No chance, no way, I won't say it, no no
Give up, give in, check the grin, you're in love
This scene won't play, I won't say I'm in love
We'll do it until you admit you're in love
You're way off base, I won't say it
Get off my case, I won't say it
Girl don't be proud, it's okay you're in love
At least out loud I won't say I'm in love
She didn't notice that Bard arrived before she finished singing. He gave her the Arrow and left without a single word. It was not needed. Both of them knew what was needed to be known. What Company didn't know was that tomorrow morning everything will change. Not only will dragon be defeated but the Master will be thrown from the place he does not belong to.
In depths of Mirkwood a white orc with a white warg screamed in pain and rage as a spider destroyed him to never be seen again by any being.
