Thaliana POV

We walked and walked and walked for like ever towards the Mines of Moria. When we got there, all there was, was a giant piece of rock that had some glowing rune writings.

Gandalf translated it for us, "The door says, Speak 'friend' and enter.. friend!" The door didn't open. I scoffed, "It's means friend in a different language, or else it would've been too too easy! What's the word for friend in Elvish? Orc?" Gandalf replied, I can't spell the words he said.

When he did though, one of them must have worked because the writings faded and revealed a doorway. "Ladies first," Legolas said making a gesture. I rolled my eyes and walked in.

It was very dark and my foot hit something, it made a crunching sound. I looked down and saw a bone. I saw more skeletons as I walked along. I called out to the others, "Uh guys, something is very wrong. Because I am seeing tons bones and skeletons, like a massacre happened and then it all rotted thousands of years or I need my eyesight fixed."

The others joined me. I heard Gimli's gruff voice say, "The girl's right! This is no mine, it's a tomb!" We all fell silent as we realized this. Gandalf tapped his staff and the tip of it lit up.

Legolas stopped at a skeleton that had an arrow in its head and yanked it out. He looked at it and said, "It's goblin made." We all got out our weapons.

I didn't have anything though. I felt in my jacket pockets and felt a coin and something. I took the coin out and decided to toss it. My gut told me to.

When the coin turned it magically turned into a sword. I frowned and tossed it again, this time changing into a bow and arrow. I was shocked as so was everyone else.

"My dear Thaliana, you are full of surprises!" Gandalf said smiling. I shrugged and said, "I guess so."

I got out the other thing that was in my pocket and it turned out to be some handcuffs. I tossed it to see if it turned into something. Nothing. I tapped it. Nothing.

Suddenly I got the idea that it might have a code or something. I searched my blank brain for anything, and the word Aegis popped up. I tapped the thing again and saying, "Aegis!"

The links turned into a round shield that had the most gruesome face ever. It was a woman's head that had snakes for hair and it's face would've won first place in the Ugliest Face Idol Competition.

"What on middle earth?!?!" Gimli exclaimed. I shrugged.

He moved it around and we saw a lot of dust, bones, and webs. We walked on. I heard a noise, it was so tiny, but I heard it. I asked Legolas, "Umm, did any of you hear something?" And regretted it as soon as I said it.

Gimli, Boromir and all the others shook their head and murmured a no. We continued to walk to wherever. When we stopped walking, Gimli shouted something, I don't remember now and started running towards a room.

When we got there we saw a coffin like thingy. I heard another noise, but nobody else seemed to have so I decided to not say anything. I saw a lot webs and dust.

Suddenly I heard clanging and looked over to a very dusty well. Pippin or was it Merry, had a guilty look on his face. He accidentally pushed a metal bucket into the well.

Gandalf really bit his head off, not literally but you know what I mean. I heard faint noises coming from the well. "Be prepared!" Legolas said getting his bow out.

I tossed my bow and arrows and it turned into a coin. I tossed the coin and it turned into a sword again. I saw the first goblin come, followed by three more, followed by like a thousand more.

The two headed towards me. Before they got to me, Legolas shot them down. I glared at him and said, "I had it Legolas! Goblin coming your way behind you!"

I turned around myself and beheaded a goblin. I ducked at one that swung his sword at me and stabbed him. I withdrew it and then turned around and slashed at another. The others were killing a lot too, but goblins were coming more than we could kill them.

Pretty soon we were surrounded. Gandalf tapped his staff hard and it repelled a few goblins, we took that chance to run for it.
