The Scarlet Witch/ Hobbit:The Desolation of Smaug

Chapter 4: Mirkwood Kingdom

*Elvish is in bold lettering.*

Legolas and the other woodland elves lead us through the dark spooky forest, all of us no longer under the affects of the strange sickness that was affecting us earlier. Eventually, they took us to a path, the pathway that Gandalf specifically told us not the leave. It was literally here the whole time, just a few feet away from where we were. When we did come up to the path, I turn to Thorin, who was behind me. I look to him, then to the path, then to him with a 'are you serious' look. He just shakes his head with an eye roll as I smirk at him before turning back around.

While we are walking, I also noticed that the Dwarves we being pushed and shoved by the other male elves, but I wasn't. Tauriel, the redhaired elleth, was the one ushering me the whole time. She didn't push or shove me, she just kept a hand on my shoulder.

During our walk as we got closer to their kingdom, I gaze upon the forest surrounding it. Now that we are closer to a settlement, the scenery looked more livable and bright. It didn't look dead and creepy like the rest of the forest. It was actually somewhat...peaceful. 

"It's beautiful." I say under my breath. 

My gaze drops to a dead flower on the pathway we're on. I carefully step over it, glancing around quickly, making sure no one is looking before flicking my wrist behind my back. My magic swirls between my finger tips before dancing over to the flower. The magic surrounds it, and it soon gains it's original color and comes to life. It's petals lift and open up, returning to it's natural glory. I smile as I continue walking along with Tauriel.

Third POV

Throughout the journey to the Mirkwood Kingdom, Legolas keeps a closer eye to the woman in the group of Dwarves. He was confused at first on why she was with them in the first place, but when she demonstrated her powers, saving his life, he knew instantly that this was the witch he had heard in many stories. Stories that his mother use to tell him when he was an elfling. He never thought that he would witness the arrival of the Scarlet Witch coming to Middle Earth.

He watches her every move as she walks next to Tauriel. She is a bit shorter than the Dwarves, maybe an inch or two, making her seem so innocent and harmless. He notices the look in her eye as she gazes around at the trees and plants around them.

"It's beautiful." He hears her say under her breath.

He sees her gaze drop to a dead flower on the ground in front of her on the trail. She steps over it, carefully. She looks around quickly before flicking her wrist. The red magic flows gracefully between her fingers before surrounding the plant. When it does, the flower magically gains it's natural color, coming back to life, lifting it's petals to it's usual position. She smirks as she continues walking with Tauriel.

Y/N POV

We finally make it to the Woodland Kingdom. It was huge, surrounded by vines and tall walls made of stone, with elegant designs carved into them. At the gate stood two guards on either side of the entrance. One by one, we're all taken inside by the elves that are escorting us. I can only imagine what's going to happen to us here and how long we're gonna be here. From how Beorn sounded the other day, woodland elves are not ones you should mess with. I could have used my magic to avoid this but there was nothing I can do. If I did try anything, I'm pretty I would have been killed on the spot.
