Journey to Erebor

Hope

Fili came running, he was clearly disturbed and concerned. I was glad to see him. He looked the same but he was some how fuller,the delicious food was to blame I reckon. He led us out. Fili informed us that the Coronation went well and Thorin is now the King Under the Mountain. I was crestfallen when I realised I couldn't be present at the ceremony but to be back together with my friends was just enough. Pundin however remained silent. I then told him that I read his letter, he just nodded his head and gave the letter to Fili. Once the letter was read we then sat on a rock and let misery and grief engulf us. It was very unfortunate.

Later Fili took us both to Thorin. He was even more majestic than usual. His magnificence outshone all the lamps in the pillared-hall. His crown rested on his head gleaming. He would be a wonderful king I thought. He apologized to us for the inconvenience and invited us to stay in Erebor. We were rejoiced.

Pundin still remained a bit sad and depressed, Kili offered to help him and took him to his chambers where he did runes and mighty spells. We did not see Pundin not Kili later. We had a sumptuous dinner and a delicious goblet of brown ale. It was finally what I dreamt of but the death of Balin still remained in my head.

The next day, Pundin woke us up early and took us to Kili's chamber. It was enormous and the walls were encased with scrolls and parchments. On the other side there was a shelf with rune stones and many weapons. The room was lit with lamps and had an enchanting smell.

Kili was in a trance, and we were both puzzled, why were we there? Then all of a sudden something smokey arise in the room. It was mystic and sent forth gusts of cold air. Then when the smoke cleared a figure stood before us...
