Pema's POV
I rocked Vili as the company and I sat around the gate. I saw something in the light, a figure. Fili stood up, frustrated.
"I will not hide, behind a wall of stone, while others fight our battles, for us!"
Kili stood next to him,"It is not in our blood uncle."
Thorin stood there in front of his nephews and placed his hand on their shoulders."You are right. We cannot stay here. We are Durin's sons." He then looked at the company.
"I cannot ask you if this but...will you fight beside me? One last time?"
They all nodded, then turned to me.
"Pema, the only thing I could ask is to stay here. What do you ask of me?"
"Come back alive. All of you. Please."

He looked at me, then Vili and nodded.
"Make sure, if Lyra is out there, that she returns safe or else your burglar will kill you with his bare hands."
Thorin chuckled,"Alright, now stand back." I furrowed my eyebrows but moved.
I watched as they got ready to smash the bell into the wall. Fili kissed me deeply and kissed Vili's head. I then looked to Thorin.
"Are you sure you still aren't crazy?!"
I heard Bombur blow a large horn.

Then, the bell made impact with the wall and it came crashing down. I hid behind a pillar to avoid the flying stone. Thorin then gave a battle cry and they ran out.

"Please be safe..." I whispered.

Thorin's POV
I fought and saw Dain fighting near me.
"Dain!" I called out.
"Thorin!" We fought until I got closer. I hugged him.
"There are too many of these buggers. We can't hold 'em off."
"Then we'll just have to take out their leader." I said looking at the contraptions on Ravenhill.
"Azog?"
I smiled and got on a ram.
"Lead on!" Dwalin said. Fili, Kili, him and I rode to Ravenhill.

We got there, fighting and killing orcs. It then became silent as we finished the orcs off.
"Fili, Kili go there and look. Do not split up. Stay together."
They both nodded and snuck to the ruins. I watched and we waited for a few minutes. Then I saw Bilbo.
"Bilbo!" I stated in relief.
"You have to get out of here! There are orcs coming from the north!"
"Fili and Kili..." I started to go towards the ruins, but Dwalin stopped me.
"We are so close, Thorin." We then heard drumming. Azog gripped Fili.
"/This one will die first! then the brother! Then you...Oakenshield.\" He chuckled menacingly. My words were caught in my throat.
"Go! Run!" Then an arrow made contact with Azog's wrist, making him drop Fili. He was caught by a wolf. A large one.

"Y'know...my best friend wouldn't be too happy if you killed her fiancé." Lyra appeared on a large piece of ice.

"Lyra..." I smiled.
"/Kill the sorceress!\"
Soldiers appeared out of no where and killed the orcs. A large Orc came towards Lyra, but she just stood there.
"What're you doing?!" Dwalin cried.
"Embracing my dwarfish side!" She grinned and grabbed a large hammer, hitting the Orc square in the jaw. Then she turned with a panicked look.
"Thorin!"

An Orc was behind me, and I was about to kill it, then a different person did.
"Hello Brother!" They turned and I gaped.
"Frerin..." Dwalin whispered.
"No time for a family reunion, we're in the middle of a battle! Lyra, duck!" He threw a knife towards her and killed an Orc.
Then a yell was heard.
"Kili!!" Lyra ran towards the ruins of Ravenhill.

Lyra's POV
"Kili!" I cried."Kili!"
"Lyra!"
"Kili..." Then I was shoved down, giving out a cry.
"Lyra!"
I looked up and saw someone I didn't expect.

"Begoliath..."

"/You will die, little elfling!\" His eyes were pitch black and he was paler than usual.
"Begoliath...its me...its Ly..." He raised his knife.
"B-Begoliath...please..." A tear escaped my eye."Please, estellio...estellio melleth nin..."

~flashback~
135 years ago (Lyra's about 40, still a small child)
I ran as fast as I could, then embraced my brother's legs."Please don't leave me, Oli..." I whimpered.
"Now Ly, you know I have to go."
"How will I know that you'll remember me?"
"Estellio melleth nin."
"Trust my love..." I whispered softly. He then kissed my head and got on his horse.

His grip on me loosened and his eyes turned back to his blue ones.
"Trust my love..." He whispered. Then he looked at me and embraced me.
"I am so sorry, Lyra...I love you so much." I looked back and saw Tauriel. I let go and Begoliath ran to Tauriel, kissing her deeply. I smiled, then ran to find Kili.

"Kili!" I yelled. Then saw his figure."Kili!" I ran to him, seeing an arrow in his leg.
"Lyra..."
"Sh...lie still."
"You cannot be her..." He sighed,"She walks in starlight in another world...it was all just a dream..." I caressed his cheek.
"Do you think she still loves me? My star?" He whispered, so I kissed his lips softly.
"She does..." I smiled, then pulled the arrow out of his leg. I grabbed athelas out of my small pouch and placed it in his room. He cried out, making me shed tears.
"Menno o nin na hon
i eliad annen annin,
hon leitho o ngurth." I chanted to heal his wound. He looked up at me looking fresh and new, so I reached to caress his cheek. I was interrupted by a searing pain in my stomach. I looked to see a blade stick out of me.

"No!" Kili caught me and killed the Orc that stabbed me. We were left alone again. I gasped in pain and led my hand to the wound.
"Sh...Sh..." He brushed hair out of my face, trying to assure me. I started to get tired.
"Lyra...don't do that...don't..." His voice faded away as everything turned black.

Frerin's POV
I helped my brother kill Azog. We both sat on the ice and breathed heavily.
"Like old times, right?" I chuckled.
"Like old times." Thorin patted my shoulder. Then I looked around for Lyra. I looked at a soldier.
"Where is the queen?" I stood abruptly.
"I saw go that way." He pointed, so Thorin and I ran. We stopped when we found Fili and Kali.
"Kali's gone...Bolg killed her." He sighed. Thorin patted his eldest nephew's shoulder.
"They will gather her with the dead, right now, we need to find Kili and Lyra."

Fili nodded and they followed me. I saw two small silhouette's on the ground. I rushed to it and saw Lyra and Kili.
"Lyra..." I whispered, running to her. Blood stained her tunic and armour. Kili's leg was bleeding, but not as profusely as Lyra. Fili kneeled at his brother's side and listened for a heart beat.
"He's alive."
I then placed my head on Lyra's chest and listened.

"Her heartbeat is fading quickly. They both need healers." I announced, we the rode quickly to the healer's tent. I placed Lyra down on a "bed" made of old blankets. The healers quickly took a look at her. I waited outside, looking up as I saw ginormous eagles circle.
