The Gathering Storm. The Hobbit fanfic. A Thorin Oakenshield love story.

Chapter 11: The Confession.

I found this cute fanart that I thought was good for this chapter. Just pretend she is an Elf and has white blonde hair lol.

She had to stop the bleeding for she could get him back to the mountain. Then she could work on healing him. Of course if it was night time her healing powers would be stronger since she was born at night. And then could use her lunar healing powers. But since it was not she only could use plant healing like kingsfoil to save him.

She finished wrapping his stomach and then quickly called for Luna. She had Luna kneel down for she could push the Dwarf Prince onto the back of her horse.

Once she had him on Luna, she got on behind him and held onto him and Luna. She yelled out Luna to get them back to the mountain as fast as the horse could.

Luna then took off like a bolt of lightening. Running as fast as her immortal horse legs could. Once they reached the mountain gates, Taryn jumped down off of Luna.

"Help," she yelled out to the guards at the front gate.

"We were ambushed by Orcs and Prince Thorin is fatally wounded," she said with tears running down her cheeks.

The guards quickly ran over to Taryn and helped the Princess get Thorin off of Luna.

"I was able to stop his bleeding, but he was shot by two Orc arrows. The poison will already be in his blood stream. We must act fast to save him," she said to the guards.

"Can you heal him?" One of them asked her and Taryn slowly nodded her head.

"I think I can, but I need to get him to a healing room and I need athelas and a lot of it."

She sighed as they looked at her in a weird manner,"Kingsfoil!" She yelled out to them.

They nodded their heads at her then. Two of them ran off to get what she needed and the other two helped her to carry Thorin to the healing room.

Taryn told her horse Luna then to go back to the stables as she helped carry off Thorin.

Once in the healing room they laid Thorin on the table. Taryn told the healers all she would need as she re-opened the cloth she had wrapped on his wounds.

She sighed as she cleaned away the blood with the cloth and water the healers had given her. She needed to be able to see his wounds well to heal him. Before she could heal him she had to be sure all of the arrow was out. She sighed as she pulled out the last pieces. Once the guards returned with the Kingsfoil she got to work.

Taryn quickly mashed the weed together in a bowl. When she was done she told the healers to hold Thorin down. The healers nodded their heads as they walked over to Thorin.

As they held him down Taryn mashed the Kingsfoil in her hands. She slowly began to press the weed into Thorin's two wounds. If he was conscious she knew he would be screaming by now. She sighed as she thought of the words she needed to say.

"Menno o nîn na hon i eliaded annen annin, hon lietho o-ngurth," she said as she pressed the Kingsfoil firmly onto Thorin's wounds.

"Let me in he is my son," Thráin Thorin's father called out.

One of the healers let him into the room, but Taryn could not break her concentration. Of she did the healing would not work.

"Menno o nîn na hon i eliaded annen annin, hon lietho o-ngurth," she chanted again acting as if she never heard Thorin's father yell out.

Thorin's POV:

Thorin had regained consciousness while Taryn was chanting out Sindarin. His sapphire blue eyes opened and he looked up at her. The poison was slowly being taken out of his body as Taryn chanted. He looked up and saw her in a glow of white. She was so beautiful he thought.

He was still a little pale, but his sapphire blue eyes were staring up at Taryn. Taryn looked down at him and slightly smiled. But then he fell back into unconsciousness.
---------------------------------------------------
Taryn's POV:

As Thorin laid unconscious Taryn slowly finished up healing his two wounds. She then made sure they were clean all the way and re-wrapped them with new clean cloth. Once she was done she sighed as she turned towards Thorin's father.

"He will take a little while to be back to himself, but he will be fine. I was able to heal him." She said to the older Prince.

Thráin nodded his head as looked from his son to her. "Thank you for saving my son. I've heard wonders of Elvish medicine, but to see it was truly amazing. Thank you," he said again.

Taryn simply nodded her head at him, "you're welcome. I would have done anything to save him." She said as she looked down at Thorin and took his left hand into her own.

Thráin could see how much she loved his son even without her saying it. As Thorin began to wake up again he smiled and then looked at Taryn.

"I'll give you two some privacy," he said as he motioned for the healers to leave the room also.

Taryn looked down at Thorin as she saw him wake up again. She smiled as he looked up at her. He moved his right hand to her cheek. He could feel the tears running down it.

"I thought I had lost you," she choked out at him as she began to cry.

"Shhh it is okay, you saved me. I'm still here," he said to her with a weak smile.

She smiled at him as she gripped his left hand tighter. "Never scare me like that again," she said to him.

"I promise never to do that again," he said to her and then smirked at her.

"What?" She asked him.

"I heard what you said out there at the lake. You said you love me," he said with a smile.

Taryn inhaled quietly. She was at a lost for words. She thought he was unconscious and couldn't hear her. Taryn nodded headly slowly confirming for him that she had said that.

Thorin smiled as she nodded her head at him. "Men lananubukhs menu," he said to her  in Khuzdûl with a smile on his face.

Taryn frowned for she did not understand what he had just said. Thorin just smirked at her.

"It means I love you in Khuzdûl," he said to her with a big smile on his face

This time he got a smile out of her, "gi melin. It means I love you in Sindarin." She said as she looked down at him.

With this confession he smiled and pulled her down to him. He the slowly kissed her lips. They kissed for awhile and then they both slowly broke the kiss. They both were at a lost of breath and smiled.

But then Thorin made a discomfort noise as he tried to sit up.

"Lie still meleth nîn. You need to rest, you will feel better soon." She said to him.

"It means my love," she said to him as he made a face.

"I think I'm going to have to teach you some Sindarin," she said with a laugh.

Thorin just smirked at her, "fine amrâlimê. But I want kisses for awards when I do well." He said and laughed.

"And that also means my love, but in Khuzdûl." He said and kissed her again.
