The sound of you hitting the ground echoes throughout the land, all the way to the dwarves on the mountain. They jump up in surprise. "What was that? What happened?" Ori asks, jumping up. Bilbo goes to the cliff's edge and looks towards lake town. He sees a dragon's form on the outside of the city and another beside it. "one of them fell. One of the dragons fell," he says. All the dwarves peer out at the town in the early morning light. Bilbo gasps as he sees it's you who lies there.

"it's Midnight! She fell!" he exclaimed, and all the dwarves gasped in surprise and sorrow. the only one who doesn't care is Thorin, who is still staring at the Lonely Mountain and not at the town, who has a strange expression of happiness cross his face. "By my beard! Look there! The ravens of Erebor are returning to the mountain!" Gloin says. Even though Smaug isn't dead, several birds can be seen cawing and approaching the Lonely Mountain. The dwarves say nothing, only staring at the figure of black night scales. Finally, Thorin hurries down from the lookout point and closes the gates of Erebor.

In Dol Guldur, Gandalf disappears into his cage. Suddenly Galadriel's voice is heard in his head, and he looks up with a start. "You are not alone, Mithrandir ..." "... (Ae boe) I le eliathon, im tulithon." [not translated on screen: If you ever need my help, I'll come.] »

It is early morning. You are still lying on the outside of lake town. You start to wake as you hear the screaming and cries of the refugees as they are looking for the injured. You stirr and begin to sit. a sharp pain vibrates from your neck and down your back. You wince and intensively take a hand to feel what's wrong. On your neck are bandages that run down over your back and stomach. You cant fully remember what happened, but when you see the black arrow laying close with its head snapped off and a puddle of blood around you, you start to remember.

It was you who got shot by the arrow, you who took the blow of the hand who could kill dragons. You immediately start looking around for signs after Smaug since you knew you took him away from Bard and the burning town.

You then spot claw marks. You stand up but winces in pain as the bangades stretch around you. You sigh, knowing you have to bite the pain away and get up to see if everyone's okay. You sniff once in the air but find no scent of Smaug. 'he must've fled,' you think and start to walk towards the people of lake town who still save their kin. When you arrive, you see Tauriel talking to Kili. you smile and close in but stop far enough for them not to notice you. "They are your people - You must go." you hear Tauriel say. You see the sadness n her eyes as well as his. Then, suddenly, the presence of Legolas enters your line of sight. "Come with me. I know how I feel; I'm not afraid. You make me feel alive." kili says, and your smile.

"I can't." tauriel says and turn her head away. kili grabs her hands and says softly while smiling. "Tauriel, amralime" Hearing this, Tauriel looks at Kili, shocked and surprised. "I don't know what that means," she says. Kili smiles.
