Not the best of titles.. Sorry bout that :/
The Dwarves stared in awe. None of them moved.
"Erebor" Thorin whispered.
"Thorin.." Balin spoke, barely keeping his tears at bay.
The King put a hand on his close friends shoulder. They were home.
But..They had a Dragon to deal with, and some of them had yet to see the mountain.
"I know these walls. These halls, this stone.." Thorin said looking around fondly. "Do you remember Balin, chambers filled with golden light."
"I remember." Balin spoke teary-eyed. "I remember a little lass running around these halls full of laughter and joy, all those years ago."
More Dwarves filtered in.
"Herein lies the Seventh Kingdom of Durin's Folk. May the Heart of the Mountain unite all Dwarves in defense of this home." Gloin said, reading symbols above the doorway.
"The Throne of the King." Balin told Bilbo
"Ah. And what's that above it?" He asked.
"The Arkenstone." Balin replied, almost sadly.
"Arkenstone..And what's that?"
"That, Master Burglar.. Is why you are here." Thorin answered him.
The Dwarves all looked at him, Bilbo.
No pressure on his part... No, none at all. - sarcasm alert. -
Bilbo looked at them nervously. Then at the engraved picture of the throne and Arkenstone above the doorway.
He gulped.
**To Arietta, Oin, Bofur, and Darwyn in Lake Town **
We managed to get Fili on Darwyn's dinner table, which now that Darwyn has sorta turned against us..since that stupid Prophecy... Probably wasn't a good idea for us to be here, but we had no choice. None at all.
Fili was currently screaming and groaning his head off. Squirming like a worm. I had to have Oin help me hold him down while Bofur ran to get water.
"Can you not do something?" Bofur asked.
"Yes, but I'll need Athelas and Goldenseal!" I replied, nodding.
"Aye, herbs. To bring down the fever." Oin added.
Darwyn pulled out bottles of things, herbs. "I have Nightshade. fever-few.."
"Those won't work Darwyn, where can we find Athelas?" I replied.
"Athelas?"
"Kingsfoil." Oin added.
"We feed it to the pigs."
"How about Goldenseal? Do you have that around here?" I asked.
"Aye, it's found in the gardens."
"Pigs, gardens?" Bofur asked. "Right, don't. move." He ordered Fili, rushing out the door.
I almost laughed, would have too if it wasn't a dire situation.
**To the Mountain, Bilbo and Balin.**
"You want me to find a jewel?" He was befuddled, why did they want a jewel of all things?
"A large, white jewel. Yes." Balin nodded, hands on hips.
"That's it? Only, I imagine there's quite a few down there..."
