A Dwarvish Company (Currently Editing)

Chapter Seventeen

Des

All of the dwarves, Bilbo, and I were finally untied and Thorin went off to talk to Gandalf, Bifur was comforting Bombur, and I was walking around observing it all.

"Dessa!" I whipped my head around to see Kili and Fili heading my way. "You okay?" Kili asked.

Before I could answer he engulfed me in a warm hug. I awkwardly hugged back feeling my face heat up. I had to close my eyes because I knew Fili was watching. "I'm fine Kili."

"Good," he said letting go. "Did you see my sword anywhere?" I shook my head. " I'm going to go search for it. Be back in a minute."

"Good luck," I smiled then turned to Fili. He was staring at me awkwardly.

"So... you really okay?" Fili asked.

"Yea." He smiled at me.

Fili continued stating at me and I started blushing. Before we knew it we were an inch away from each other. A few months in and I've fallen in love already.... Fili leaned in and I stood up on my toes and then---

"Oi guys! Thorin says we need to go in this cave!" Kili called to us. I was so scared I almost fell down. Fili looked down at me to see me biting my lip and blushing like a maniac which of course made him grin.

"Let's er go," he nodded and walked ahead of me grabbing my hand as he past and pulling me with him.

When we got in the cave I almost gagged. It smelled dangerously of troll. The rest of the company was already in the cave and when Fili and I walked in Kili glared at us and I whipped my hand away.

I walked and searched the many things the toll hoard held. Thorin and Gandalf had found ancient elvish blades and I would love to find my own sword. And I did. I picked up a glowing red sword. Fendulin I heard a voice whisper in my ear when I touched it. These swords were made in Mordor from dragon fire.

I carefully sheathed the sword and hooked it on my belt and followed Kili out. All of us, Gandalf and Thorin in the front, trudged up the hill until we reached a peak. We were in a forest.

Bilbo had a sword out and was admiring it when I walked up to him. "Beautiful sword Bilbo."

He smiled, "Thanks Iredessa. So are Fili and you--" he was cut off, thankfully, by a man shouting around us.
