The rest of the ride had been easy. Bilbo had gotten used to being on horseback. And the Dwarves were good company.
Trix found herself humming or whittling to pass the time on the ride. Or of course talking with others. She had had many interesting conversations with different dwarves.
She had one that lasted nearly two hours with Oin talking about different medical plants and there uses. It was certainly very interesting.
Trix was once again laying down on Aasimar's back Listening to the talking and humming.
"Trix."
Thorin called, causing her to sit up.
"yes?"
Thorin glanced at her, "Would you sing for us?"
Trix thought for a moment before she nodded, "Alright." She pulled out a small drum she always carried with her.
She didn't start to drum at first.
She took a deep breath and started to sing.
"Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way"
The dwarves were stunned by her voice. It was smoother than the finest silks and softer than the best furs. It was enchanting.
"Awaken from a quiet sleep
Hear the whispering of the wind
Awaken as the silence grows
In the solitude of the night
Darkness spreads through all the land
And your weary eyes open silently
Sunsets have forsaken all
The most far off horizons"
Trix had her eyes shut, but she started to drum. Smiling when Gandalf's voice joined her.
"Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way
And you can always be strong
Lift your voice with the first light of dawn
Dawn's just a heartbeat away
Hope's just a sunrise away"
Trix could feel the forest around her relax as she continued to sing.
"Nightmares come when shadows grow
Eyes closed and heartbeats slow
Distant sounds of melodies
Calling through the night to your heart
Auroras, mists, and echoes dance
In the solitude of our life
Pleading, sighing arias
Gently grieving in captive misery
Darkness sings a forlorn song
Yet our hope can still rise up."
More voices joined her own. She smiled at that. Trix could pick out Thorin's voice as one of them.
