Elves Of Autumn

Chapter # 10 - Next few hours

Elsewhere, but not far from Bree in the ruin of Amun Sul. It was called Weathertop in the southern most and highest summit of the Weather Hills. It was east of Bree, halfway between the Shire and Rivendell. One of the orcs arrived there but was hesitant to the pale orc something that would either get him killed or worse. Azog was standing there overlooking the whole area while his arms was replaced with a spike. It had gone through above his elbow.

"Khozdayin... Dorguz.... zuranimid. Shuhi gogai gelnakhanshim." Yazneg said while being uneasy about something.

"Sha nargiz ob-hakhtil. Nargiz khobdi. Rani khozdil" Azog replied back while petting his warg.

"Muganish dum. Turim hag shag."

"Ki go-kairag baganig. Ombar bunish." Azog said as he killed him and before he threw him to feed the wargs that were there. "Khozd-shrakhun gag sha kilyash-zag. Zidgar obod turg nash ru khobdud."

After hearing that order, most of the wargs and their riders was sent out to deliver the word that there was a price on their heads.

Back in Rivendell, Bilbo left them as she stands there talking with her childhood guard. When she stopped talking then she turns to face Thorin. Her words stayed with Thorin but she didn't say anything. The look that she was giving him said it all. "I suggest that you hold your tongue, Thorin, son of Thrain. You will not disrespect Lord Elrond or any of my kin and that includes me."  he had remembered her words. Soon, he had walked away from them while leaving Bofur there. Bofur shrugged his shoulders and to joined to the two elves  that were standing there.

"Lady Zarneleane, forgive Thorin. He may not be the trusting dwarf but sometimes his pride can get the better of him."

"It's okay, Bofur. I know that our people are not on the best terms when the dragon attacked Erebor and destroying the town of Dale."

"But how did you now about Erebor and the town of Dale?"

"I red books on it and it was sad."

"I see, lass.... I mean Lady Zarneleane."

"Since when it got all formal here? Am I wearing a dress, Bofur?" she asked him while looking down at her armor."

"No, you're not. But I should get back and make sure that Bombur hasn't eaten everything yet."

"Sure." she told him while they both watched him leave.

Some time later, the dwarves settle in for the night, they cook their own food that they brought. Bofur is cooking a sausage when he hears the table that Bombur is sitting on, creaking under his weight while he throws the sausage.

"Bombur!"

Bombur catches it and the table breaks under him while making the other dwarves laugh. Meanwhile, Bofur laughs hard while falling over on his side and Bifur looks around but doesn't say anything while holding a vegetable over the fire.

Later on that evening, Gandalf and Elrond were talking as Bilbo was walking up the steps that were near the dwarves but Thorin wasn't there with them. As Bilbo was nearing the other steps of the stairs, he overhears Gandalf and Elrond talking below. They were walking along the path that would lead to a pavilion that was somewhere overhead.

"Of course, I was going to tell you. I was waiting for a chance. Really, I think that you can trust that I know what I'm doing."

"Do you?" Elrond asked him while Bilbo looks over his shoulder then back at them. "That dragon has slept for sixty years. What will happen if your plan should fail? If you wake the beast."

"But if we succeed. If the dwarves take back the mountain, our defenses in the east will be strengthened."

"It's a dangerous move, Gandalf."
