The Unknown Child {Hobbit Fanfic}

lmë Boe Au, Mo Rac Lé Ae (We Must Away, Ere Break Of Day) Part 3

Here's Part 3! - I honestly did not think it would turn out into 3 parts... Sorry for that.
And I'm also ashamed for slightly putting this one off - because of two things:
1: an Elemental, and Smaug facing each other off. Yeeeaaah how do I write that? (Slight spoiler - I think?)
But, as I've said before, "Books write themselves!"
The 2nd: Getting in a "head" I haven't been in before.

And once again, I'm on a computer so fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly! - Seriously, fingers crossed.

Recap-

Amara POV - Erebor With Smaug and Bilbo

I spotted Bilbo looking down at the Arkenstone,

"I am almost tempted to let you take it. If only to see Oakenshield suffer. Watch it destroy him. Tear apart his family. Watch it corrupt his heart. And drive him mad. But I think not. I think our little game ends here. So tell me, Thief in the Shadows how do you chose to die?"

I stepped in as his throat lit up.

"Smaug, let me ask you the same question. How do you chose to die?"

He faced me, utterly confused and angry.

A human was threatening him?

That's what I seemed to Smaug, a small human.

'If you can't take the heat... Don't poke the dragon.' I thought.

Amara POV - Erebor With Smaug and Bilbo

I had just threatened Smaug, and I was afraid I admit. But I did it for Bilbo. So he could grab the stone.

"What did you say!?" Smaug asked, stomping towards me.

"I asked, how you would like to die?" I repeated.

"Foolish girl. You think you can kill me? A dragon?" He questioned, humor in his eyes.

"Could I know for certain? No. Smaug. But I would die trying." I spoke.

"No human could kill me." He puffed, going back to Bilbo.

"Are you so sure of that?" I questioned.

"It looks like they came pretty close." I observed, looking at the missing scale.
