It was morning when the company made their way down to the dock where their boat waited. The people of lake town cheered and set them off with flowers and music

''You do know we're one short'' Bilbo looked around ''Dasis where's Bofur?'' He asked. Dasis turned around seeing Bifur "I thought he was right behind me'' ''He's not here, we leave him behind. We can risk no more diversions'' "But Bofur'' "Dasis'' Thorin warned "Fine'' She helped load things into the boat. More Dasis grew with boldness toward the dwarves

Thorin stopped Kili and Nyx ''Not you two. We need to travel with speed, you'll slow us down'' Thorin explained himself ''What are you talking about I'm coming with you'' ''briinah?'' ''No'' Thorin shook his head at Kili

Nyx and Enyo went off away from Thorin and the company "I need you to look after this'' Enyo gave Nyx an egg about the size of a hand "I am going to die Nyx, I need you to look after my child'' "You will be here to raise it--'' "Briinah. Please promise me'' Nyx sighed hugging her sister tightly "I promise. Be safe'' "I will'' 

''When we first look upon the halls of our fathers--'' ''Kili. Stay here, rest. Join us when you've healed'' Thorin turned to the boat, Oin walked out

''I'll stay here with them, my duty lies with the wounded'' He stood next to Kili ''Uncle'' Fili spoke to Thorin ''We grew up on tales of the mountain, tales you told us, you cannot take that away from him'' Fili snapped ''Fili'' ''I will carry him if I must'' ''One day you will be king and you will understand'' Nyx's face fell is that what she sounded like to her oldest also? What harsh words. Pushing the king duty onto him so early

''I cannot risk the fate of this quest for the sake of one dwarf. Not even my own kin'' Thorin's voice darkened

Fili looked at his brother and walked out of the boat. Thorin grabbed his arm ''Fili, don't be a fool, you belong with the company'' Fili pulled his arm away ''I belong with my bother'' Dasis looked at the brothers than Bilbo. She came to see this mountain, help Bilbo find the stone than she'll return to Bofur

Thorin growled ''Enyo'' the sister looked at him ''Coming'' Enyo walked over, getting stopped from Nyx ones again "You remember Zeuxippe youngest son?'' "Well of course. He was small and failed'' Nyx took a big gulp when she stepped into the boat 

"What happened to him?'' Enyo thought for a second as they floated away. Nyx studied Enyo's face when she thought "He died... Oh my Eru'' Nyx clasped her mouth. They really thought he died, but with a body to see, he had one chance of getting out of that war alive

Music began to play sending the company off. Nyx looked down at the egg "I promise Enyo'' "Eh you missed the boat as well?'' Bofur asked the five. Kili, leant on Fili able to hold himself up anymore ''Kili. Kili'' Nyx ducked down to the young dwarf, grabbing his cheeks and pulling down on his eyelids

"Dasis didn't remove the poison. I need herbs and a bed'' ''Where do we go?'' Bofur asked, Oin had a quick look at him ''The master house'' Nyx pulled Kili off the seat and put him on her back. Creaks could be heard from her back and Oin said not to do it, but she pushed him aside making her way to the master house

''Wait!'' Fili called out to the master who was walking into his home ''Please we need your help, my brother is sick'' Fili's voice was rattled and scared ''Sick? Is it infectious?'' The master covered his mouth ''G-get back. Out, out don't come any closer''

Alfrid held out his arms like he was protecting the master ''Please we need medicine'' Alfrid snarled ''do I look like an apothecary? Haven't we given you enough, master's a busy man. He doesn't have time to worry about sick dwarves. Be gone with you, clear off'' Nyx growled stepping toward him

''iizyol '' Nyx spat an ice ball into his face. The ice then turned into a blue fire and started to burn his hair and anything it touched. She then turned and made her way to bard's house.

Bofur knocked on the door. He opened it and closed it ''No, I'm done with dwarves'' Nyx shoved her foot in the door ''Please. Kili, he's sick. We need your help, no one else will'' Fili begged. Bard looked at the sick dwarf who had his head in Nyx's neck. He was pale, had dark bags under his eyes, and sweating

Bard look at Nyx ''Please'' her voice was a little bit rattled as well. She could feel Kili's heartbeat slowing down, his breathing getting shadow

''Fine'' Bard opened his door up letting them all in ''Put him here'' Bard moved a couple of things off the bed, letting Nyx put down Kili. Bofur got hot water in a bowl, Bard look through his herbs

''Can you not do something?'' Fili snapped at Nyx ''Not glare at me Fili, I'm the only one here that can save Kili. I wouldn't put me in a bad mood'' Nyx snapped back, taking deep breaths, trying to calm the feeling inside her. She was never good at healing, mostly because of the dark in her that just wanted to kill weaker beings. Gaia and Dione were good at healing people because they were more like the good side of their evil

''I need herbs to bring down the fever'' Oin spoke looking at Bard

"Nyx!'' "Go away!'' "Please, wait'' A voice called to her "No!" But Nyx stopped anyway in the hall's, no one could set eyes on these days "Blueberry"

''Kingsfoil'' Bofur nodded to himself, turning to Kili ''Don't move'' Bodur rushed out the doors. A little earthquake shocked the house ''Da?'' ''It's coming from the mountain'' Bain said. Fili walked down to them ''You should leave us. Take your children and get out of here'' ''And go were. There is nowhere to go''

Nyx sighed to herself ''Da, we going to die?'' ''No, daring'' ''The dragon it's going to kill us'' Bard looks up to the roof, pulling something down from the roof. Nyx's chest tightened ''Not if I kill it first''
