Finding my true love on a journey.[ThorinxOcxLegolas]

Chapter 10

And just as I thought it was all over a blinding white light flashed, knocking the torture device of the plate form we were all on and knocking off goblins too, the blast was so strong that it knocked over the goblin king and most of the goblins that held the dwarves and me. once the light died down we all looked to see where it came from, but the light messed up my eyes a bit and I couldn't see just yet, but I could hear a voice, "take up arms. Fight. Fight!" we all shot up to our feet grabbing our weapons and slashing at any goblin we could see. For a while Thorin fought with my blade and I dove for Ocrist once it was in my hand I stood up and covered Thorin's back.

The goblin king shout again yelling about Gandalf's sword, "he wields the Foehammer! The Beater! Bright as daylight!" everyone tossed weapons around and started to get even with the goblins. The gobbling king stood up and moved to attack Thorin "Thorin! Switch!" we tossed each other the weapon we had and Thorin knocked the goblin king over with one hit, the stupid creature couldn't keep his balance and he fell off the plate form. Knocking other things over and taking goblin minions with him.

As we continued to fight I saw Gandalf cut a goblins neck so cleanly that it was still attached and it was still alive, that is  until he pushed it off with the tip of his sword. Then the goblin fell and Gandalf moved on. "follow me, quick!" doing as he said we fought and ran for our lives. As we ran and ran hordes upon hordes of goblins came at us. On one of the bridges we had to use a pole to push of seven or eight goblins at a time, I could sense that we weren't even half way yet and I had already lost count as to how many goblins I had killed.

As I was running behind Thorin and Balin we fought most of the goblins, Balin swung his staff in full circles above his head, while Thorin actually turned in circles with his sword swinging above his head, me being taller than most of the goblins and dwarves I decapitated and protected my friends backs. We ran across an open bridge and goblins swung in on ropes from the other side, Thorin and I saw and he shouted "cut the ropes!" Thorin and Nori cut two sections of the plate form above us and it collided with the swinging goblins making them wrap around the flooring and dropping them into the dark bellow.

Kili and myself were separated from Thorin and four others and we encountered the goblin archers, as Kili deflected with his sword I shot arrows of my own, with three shots I killed six goblins, though it wasn't working completely me and Kili grabbed a ladder and used it to push the remainder of the goblins out of our way, as we ran we pushed the creatures out into an unfinished floor, once they fell we used the ladder as a make shift bridge and knocked it off before more goblins could follow. Catching up to Thorin and the others we had to use a swinging bridge to cross, the first swing Gandalf, Thorin and three others jumped onto the other side, the second we had goblins board so I put the rest of the dwarves behind me readying them to jump as I killed the goblins.

After the others jumped I jumped at the last second before Fili cut the rope to hold the bridge and it fell with goblins still on it. we ran some more but had to stop because we were surrounded, so we hacked, slashed, chopped and cut until we had more room to run, but Bombur had goblins all over him, I moved to help, but as it turns out he didn't need it, because he cannonballed and destroyed three floors and knocked off hundreds of goblins, in the process, we still had a long way to go so Gandalf used his staff to cut down a bolder and used it to crush goblins in our way.

When we rounded the corner, we found more goblins and so we destroyed them too, we ran in places that had less goblins so it wouldn't take us forever to escape, as we ran we came to a bridge, there was nothing under it except a long fall, I was ahead with Gloin, Balin and Dori, when the Goblin King crashed through the other end of the bridge. The dwarves ahead of me quickly turned around and hid behind me and Gandalf, standing on his feet the Goblin King growled and smirked evilly.

"you thought you could escape me." he swung his scepter at me and Gandalf, almost making us fall back if it weren't for the dwarves catching us. "what are you going to do now, Wizard? Elf?" pushing us up Gandalf stabbed the Goblin King in the eye with his staff "AH!" and I cut his fat gut. "Ow!" falling to his knees in front of us he said "that'll do it." then I slit his throat. Then the already weak bridge started to break under the weight of a obese goblin and 13 food loving dwarves and tall wizard and a light Elf.

On the way down I jumped off and used the walls to slow my descend, the dwarves screamed and shouted as they fell, breaking more of goblin-town on the way down. As they reached the bottom they slowed down, stopping for a second then crashing to the ground, crushing each other, when I reached the bottom I helped up Gandalf because he was the only one not on the bridge with 13 dwarves, then Bofur said tried to get up "well, that could have been worse." Not a second after he said that the dead and now even heavier goblin king landed on then Dwalin shouted "You've got to be joking!" other cursed too, which I would have laughed at if we weren't about to be captured again.

Kili saw it too and called out to Gandalf, I ran to Thorin pulling him out and anyone I could get my hands on, before the goblins caught up. Dwalin while holding up Nori said "there's too many, we can't fight them." Gandalf nodded "only one thing can save us." I looked around and used my enhanced elf eyes to find an exit and called out, "daylight!" reaching for the rest of the dwarves still stuck I pulled them out and reached for another, when they were all standing we ran Gandalf shouted "follow Aaralyn, she know the way out! Hurry! Let's go!" he yelled from the back of the line to make sure our group stayed together. The exit and sunlight, were right ahead so I moved to the side and made sure everyone got out before me, Thorin third to last grabbed my hand and pulled me after him, once we were outside I got a breath of fresh air and it felt amazing, but we still needed to run.

Running ahead I turned and started to count making sure we had everyone, I was at four, in my head when I started to count out loud, "five, six, seven, eight, Bifur, Bofur. That's 10. Fili, Kili, that's 12. And Bombur. That makes 13." I turned to Gandalf, but he already knew what I was going to ask, so he turned to the dwarves. "where is our hobbit? Where is our hobbit?!" he asked twice the second more loud than the other. Everyone was looking around for him and Dwalin spoke ill, "curse that Halfling! Now he's lost?" then Gloin blamed "I thought he was with Dori?" I turned to Dori, "don't blame me!" "well, where did you last see him?"

Nori turned to Gandalf "I think I saw him slip away when they first collected us." Slowly I tuned out everything so that I could search for the hobbit with my mind. It was hard because of all the yelling and it also didn't help that Thorin started to bad mouth the hobbit as well. "he is long gone." Using my ears I could hear 16 heart beats, 13 of them were from the dwarves one from Gandalf and my own, and the last one was the hobbit, I opened my mouth to tell them but, Bilbo beat me to it, "No. he isn't." everyone gasped and smiled, I ran and took him into my arms.

Before he could hug back I pulled away to look for wounds, but I couldn't find a single one. "how on earth did you get past the goblins?" Kili asked happily, "how, indeed." Thorin mumbled, in the arrival of Bilbo I could feel a great evil, coming from the hobbit's hand, laughing nervously Bilbo stuck his hand into his pocket and I saw something gold and shiny. But I put it out of my mind because he started to explain, "why did you come back?" Thorin asked obviously confused, "look, I know you doubt me. I know you always have. And you're right, I often think of Bag-end. I miss my books, and my armchair and my garden, see, that's where I belong. That's home. And that's why I came back. Because you don't have one. A home, it was taken from you, but I will help you take it back if I can." Thorin looked down for a second then to me and smirked a bit.
