Re-written Sunday, October 3rd
Recap-

Mom looked alarmed. "You're not handing my daughter over to that monster! By order of the Queen Under the Mountain, you will give King Thranduil his Gems! Or so help me Thorin Oakenshield..." Mom began to yell.
He turned to look at her.
"I would never harm my child on purpose, Amara." He spoke, lovingly. "Do not worry."
"Balin, Gloin, please follow me to collect Thranduil's Gems."

"Thorin, if my father tries anything... I'll handle it." Legolas stated.
Adad turned around, inclining his head as a "thank you".

Adad, Balin, and Gloin returned with The Gems of Lasgalen for Thranduil. They were tied up in a sack to be lowered down by a rope. The said sack had two holes. One on either side to keep it from falling. The rope would go through the two holes, and slowly be lowered down.

Looking over the balcony, three men were at the gate. Thranduil on his Elk, Bard on a white horse, and Gandalf.
My mother held a bow, threatening for the wretched King to pull anything else.
"So what have you chosen, King Under the Mountain? My Gems, or Your Daughter?" Thranduil smirked.

"Speak once more, and this arrow will go between your eyes!" My mother yelled.
"I would never give you my daughter, filth. Take your precious gems. They will be lowered down to you." Adad spoke.

Legolas looked to the East, "we are not alone." He spoke lowly.
"Dáin Ironfoot has joined us." Adad replied.
"Dáin? Cousin Dáin?" I asked.
"I sent word for him. There is to be a war. Lady Galadriel told your mother so." Adad spoke quietly.

"What are they whispering about?" Bard asked.
"Who knows the ways of the Dwarves." Thranduil replied, glaring suspiciously.
"Calm down, King Thranduil. All will be well." Gandalf advised.

The marching came closer, and soon Dáin Ironfoot was to be seen.

"Lower the gems." I ordered.
"We need that treaty."
Bofur along with Legolas slowly lowered them.

"If it isn't the pointy eared sprite..." Dáin spoke.
Thranduil ignored him - for now.
"How you doing up their Thorin? Everything and everyone alright?" He yelled.
Thorin smiled. "We're more then alright!"
Thrain came into view, shocking the clan of Ironfoot.
"By my beard..." Dáin spoke shocked.

"Thranduil, you have what you wanted, the treaty is now in place, yes?" I questioned.
"Indeed it is." He spoke coolly.

With Thranduil's gems now with him and safe, they now turned to face Dáin and his Army.
