The Unknown Child {Hobbit Fanfic}

Furin (Torn)

Recap-

Adad gave the most unlikely of order when Fili stated that he was going over the wall.
"Stand down!"
"What?" Dori asked.
"Are we to do nothing?" Nori questioned.
"They'll get slaughtered, Thorin." Mom tried to reason with him.
"I said, Stand down." He spoke, firmly.

Looking over the wall, and to everyone else including Legolas... Something had to be done.

"No." I spoke, backing up towards the rope.
"I refuse to let our kin get slaughtered when I can do something."
"Theia, I have a plan. Stay. Please." Adad pleaded fear in his eyes.

"I have a plan as well. See you on the other side."
"No!" He yelled.

Thorin POV

I was horrified. I'd let my only child go straight into battle, alone. I rushed to the edge of the balcony to see if she was visible. I had to know. So many emotions were raging within.
Theia was barely visible among the crowd. She looked up at us with a small smile trying to comfort us.
I knew she had her magic, but still.

"Legolas, I ask one more thing of you."
"You need not ask, King Thorin. I know what you and the rest wish. I would risk my life for Theia's." He spoke, heading for the rope.
"Thank you, Legolas." Amara, my One said sincerely.
The company gave their thanks, also. Various head nods.

Pacing I re-thought of my plan.
And was distracted by Theia, she said she had a plan. What was it?

Shedding my armor, finding it too heavy I looked to the others. They had dampened spirits.

Except Amara, she looked determined.
