Middle-Earth: Bright Stars & Durin's Folk { Wolf & Angel }

Thorin glared down at anyone, whom he could. The anger swimming in his eyes. It seemed, the last few moments put a strain on him, angered him even more...his condition getting worse. "You call,her siding...with...with that....that elf...as treating us as equals?!" Thorin growled at his Nephew...unable to even speak the Prince's good name.

Kili's jaw clenched. "The elf, has a name, uncle!" He growled out. "Where were you, when I needed you? I was dying! You left! You forbid me, to come here...to see our home, for the first time with you all! If it wasn't for Yavanna or Delva...I would be gone...dead! If it wasn't for the Elvenking's son, we all would be dead!"he snarled at his uncle. Kili was thankful, that Legolas saved their lives when he did.

Thranduil looked angry, at the Dwarf's words about his son. "My son, has lost too much! She's the light and goodness in his world. Don't dare say another word against my son, or the Princess!" He warned sternly; The Elvenking believed, that Yavanna was destined to be in his son's life; the one Legolas had been waiting for.

"What heart, would tell her to turn against us?...against our quest, for him?!" Thorin snarled.

Thorin then turned to Bilbo, with a growl grabbing him by his neck. "Very well...I'll dispose off you at least. No more, will I ever deal with a rat like you.." he growled..trying to toss him over the entrance hole. Kili's eyes widened and Balin was quick to try and grab Thorin's arm...to stop him from tossing Bilbo over. Bilbo struggled in his grip.

And woops...Kili let it slip in the heat of the moment.

Middle-Earth: Bright Stars & Durin's Folk { Wolf & Angel }

Thranduil saw the Starlight gems falling towards him...catching the gems of his beloved wife. He nodded his head towards Saeril. "At least, there is one I can trust." he spoke. "Thank you." It had been so long, since he had seen the jewls of his beloved wife. They held the same light, she once bared. A memory of her, that was long missing. The heirlooms of his people, his family was his once more.

Thorin's jaw clenched as he saw the Arkenstone in Bard's hand. "This is a roose...they're trying to take us for fools." he growled...thinking it was some sort of a game.

"It's no trick. I gave it to them." Bilbo stepped up, a few seconds before Saeril threw Starlight Gems down to King Thranduil. Thorin looked between the Hobbit and the she-elf with his jaw clenched. With a growl...his hand flew out; slapping Saeril harshly across the face. "You Thieves! You lairs...you betrayed me...the both of you!" he yelled out.

Bilbo flinched as Thorin slapped Saeril. "I might be a Burglar, but I'd like to think an honest one. I wanted to give the stone to you many times..I did..but you're not well." Bilbo shook his head "It was for your own good."

Thorin growled. "Throw him over the Rampard...do it!" he growled...angry. He then drew an arrow pointing it at the she-elf. "And this is for you. You Devil's incarnate..what about Yavanna...who did she betray me for?!" Thorin yelled out, in his madness as he fired and arrow at the she-elf. The thought that young Yavanna would betray him too, was clear in his mind. Almost expecting it if, he got betrayed by Bilbo and Saeril.

Kili gasped at the scene. His uncle trying to have Bilbo killed and then firing at his God-Mother. He stepped in between his uncle and God-Mother. "Leave her alone! She is no thief...nor betrayer! She stays true to her word...unlike you! You promised the people of Lake Town aid, wealth...and went back on your word, like it means nothing! You went back on our word! It wasn't just you, who agreed to help them!" Kili yelled at his uncle, now feeling the anger rush through him. "As for Yavanna, what crime do you think she committed? She fell in love, with the King's son." The words, slipped out before he really thought about it.

"She did...what?!" Thorin yelled out in anger, as he heard Kili's words about Yavanna. "That...she...what?!" he was shaking. Kili realized, his mistake...as he mentally slapped himself. Did he just blurt that out?

Hearing the argument up above. Thranduil's jaw clenched. "The young elf, would never betray a living soul. Be careful, what foul crimes you accuse young Yavanna off!" He growled, coming to Yavanna's defense quickly. Now Thranduil might be a complicated man, but he would not stand to hear such crimes and accusations be brought upon a young soul, that he had high respect for.
"What do you know of her?" Thorin snarled down at the elvenking.
"I know, her more than you know." Thranduil told him.

Always are, pretty much :)

Yeah, Thorin might try and kill her and Bilbo...not to mention, he what he would do Yavanna, if she was there. Or if he knew where she is.

The Elven Army was gathered, in position outside the entrance of the Mountain. They were waiting; ready for instructions. Thranduil rode besides Bard, through the crowd of his army. Thorin whom stood at the top of the open entrance, had his bow and arrow aimed towards the Elvenking. Firing an arrow...the arrow landed near the hoof of the Elk, that Thorin was riding upon.

"The next one, will be in between your eyes." Snarled Thorin. Thranduil's jaw clenched and the entire load of Archers, drew out their arrows aiming it towards the Dwarves...whom ducked down behind the wall to hide from the arrows, which they expected to come.

Thranduil held out his hand, stopping his men from firing the arrows. "We have come to tell you, that a payment of your Debt has been offered...and accepted." The elvenking spoke, looking at the Dwarf King, before him.

"What payment? I gave you nothing! You have nothing!" Thorin snarled...at that, Thranduil glanced towards Bard, whom had the Arkenstone hidden in his jacket pocket.

Kili looked shocked, seeing the Arkenstone in Bard's hands. "They have the Arkenstone. Thieves!" he yelled out. "How come anybody, stole from our house?! That stone belongs to the King!"

Bilbo doesn't know that though...so he too is making his own efforts to put an end to the war. They both had their plans.

"I am not doing it for you." Bilbo slightly shook his head. "I know Dwarves can be Obstinate and pig-headed, difficult. And suspicious and secretive. With the worst manners you can possibly imagine. But they are, also brave and kind, loyal to a fault. I've grown very fond of them. And I would save them, if I can." Bilbo explained. Thranduil watched the Hobbit in silence.

"Now, Thorin values this stone above all else." Bilbo said gesturing the Arkenstone. "In exchange for this return, I believe he will give you, what you are owed. There's no need for a war."

A few moments later, it seemed like Gandalf did not get his point across to the King. Listening to Gandalf, go on about his council. Thranduil rolled his eyes slightly. "I think, you're trying to save your Dwarfish friends. Whilst, I admire your loyalty, it does not dissuade my course. You started it Mithandir, do forgive me...if I finish it." The ElvenKing told the Elderly Wizard.

He made his way out towards the edge of the tent. "Are the Archers in position?" he asked the one of the Guards, before nodding. "Good, if anything moves on that mountain...Kill it." he instructed.

Meanwhile, Bilbo stood near the gateway...he had a rope in hand. Tossing the rope down, once he made sure it was secure. The young Hobbit began to climb down. Once his feet touched the ground, Bilbo began to sneak his way into the city of Dale. He had to speak with Bard and the ElvenKing if he could.

As Bilbo made his way to Dale, he heard a conversation between Bard and Gandalf. "You think that will stop them? It won't...they will fight to the death, to defend their own." Seeing Gandalf, Bilbo smiled at his Wizard friend. A short moment later, Thranduil looked down at the Hobbit. "If I am not mistaken, this is the halfling who stole the keys to the Dungeons, right under the nose of my Guards."

Bilbo pursed his lips slightly, as he listened to the King. "Yes...sorry about that." he said, slightly through through clenched teeth. "I came to give you this..." Bilbo walked over to the small table, in front of Thranduil. Setting down a piece of cloth, unraveling it...inside was the Arkenstone.

"The heart of the Mountain." Thranduil stood up shocked, seeing the Arkenstone. "The King's Jewel."

"I took, it as my 16th share of the treasure." Bilbo explained.

Feeling his arm shield her, Yavanna felt safe even with the threats near by. But seeing the bat and Orc Army led by Bolg. Yavanna felt her stomach clench...her friends were in more danger, than she could have imagined. As they stood up. Her hand holding onto his, as she followed him down the hillside.

"I hope, it's not too late." Tauriel whispered; as she rushed down the hillside with them both.

Thranduil looked between Bard and Gandalf, with a slight raised eyebrow. "I can see you know nothing of Wizards." he told Bard; as he stood up from his chair. "They are like a winter storm, in a wild wind. Rolling in from the distance, breaking hard, in alarm. But sometimes, a storm is just a storm." Thranduil spoke, as he reached for a glass..pouring himself some wine.

"Why show his hand now?" Thranduil questioned Gandalf. "These Orc Armies you speak of Mithrandir, where are they?" The Elvenking rose an eyebrow at the Grey Wizard.

Kili smiled at his God-mother. He was a Durin. His father's son...Thorin's nephew. A fighter, he would not back down. It was not in his blood or nature too. He had his family, and friends to fight for. It gave him hope, to live to see another day. He tried to smile at her reassuringly, but he could see how worried she was for his uncle. Kili wondered, what it would take to save his uncle...if it was possible.

As their eyes met. Yavanna's soft hand remained on his. Her gentle, emerald eyes locked with his blue. The look in her eyes filled with fondness, care, growing adoration, tenderness. Almost telling him, that he was not alone...that he wouldn't be. That she was there for him and understood his pain.

Suddenly an aray of bats swooped in. Yavanna ducked slightly, her body almost curling up near his. Tauriel herself ducked down...laying against the rock. Seeing the monstrous bats flying above them.

"They're swarming." Tauriel whispered.
