I woke to it still being dark out and found the early morning light just rise. I could here the Dwarves bustling in the hobbits home.

I jumped down from the tree and went inside.

Some Dwarves bid me good morning and I nodded at them.

I then noticed Dwalin, Fili, and Bofur around the table I set my stuff on.

I growled and walked over. I stayed behind them because I wanted to know what they were doing.

"Seems a shame to leave such pretty things around," Bofur said.

"I say that he won't mind if we steal the weapons for a little," Dwalin said.

That was the last straw I had with these Dwarfves. I reached in and grabbed my sword out of its scabbard and pressed it against his throat.

Gandalf watching this all chuckled and explained, "Those are some of the most important things in Riders life. I wouldn't threaten to take them away from Rider because Rider will kill you."

Dwalin, Bofur, and Fili all backed away from me scared out of their minds.

I turned around making sure I had everything and that they didn't steal anything.

After I had everything I headed outside. I stood by Gandalf and his horse as I walked.

I walked because there is this legend of skin-changers that you have to wait for your spirt animal to come to you. You can't ride any other animals other than your spirt animal.

We started off and some of the Dwarfves asked why I wasn't riding a pony and Gandalf explained my peoples legend. Thankfully he didn't give to much information away.

We kept walking and I heard a little voice far off because of my super hearing. I stopped and Gandalf stopped causing all the company to stop.

"What is the matter Rider?" He asked me.

I just turned around and waited a minute or two until Bilbo came popping out of the trees.

I smirked as I earned gazes of surprised looks on the Dwarfve's faces.

Bilbo handed Balin the contract and Thorin said to give Bilbo a pony. Bilbo started to argue, but was lifted up on a pony by Fili and Kili.

'Man, Kili's strong!' I thought, but then scolded myself and turned around.

I started to walk as the Dwarfves exchanged money on the bet if Bilbo would come or not.

I walked ahead of the group being there protector and all.

Few minutes later, "Stop! I need to go back I forgot my handkerchief!"

I sighed and walked up to Bilbo ready to give him one of my handkerchiefs.

But Bofur decided to rip off some of his cloak and threw it to Bilbo and said, "Here you go!"

Everyone laughed as Bilbo looked at the piece of cloth frowning.

Everyone's laughing soon died down as I handed him one of my handkerchiefs.

"Oh, why thank you Rider," he said gratefully. I nodded as usual and walked toward the front again. Everyone followed my lead quietly.

~Time Skip~

We set up camp at a clearing on the edge of the cliff.

I was laying near the edge of the cliff when I heard an orc.

I sat up got to my feet and grabbed my sword at the speed of light. Even though it was still a ways away I was was paranoid.

Poor Bilbo asked what it was and Fili said orcs.

They said something about throat cutters and killing you in your sleep.

They started to laugh and I walked over mad and just stared at them long enough to make them uncomfortable.

I then ran up a tree and sat in a tree listening to the story of the Battle of Moria.

'Azog is dead. It's ok,' I said to myself.

I heard something running towards us and jumped out of the tree. I ran and grabbed my bow and loaded it.

The Dwarfves seeing my actions got uneasy and got there weapons.

I aimed my arrow in the direction which the sound came.

Out of the forest came a majestic horse.

I lowered my bow and felt drawn to it.

It stopped running once it
saw us and started pawing at the ground.

Something inside me was screaming to go to the horse. I laid my weapons down and walked slowly towards the horse.

It was I believe an Appaloosa. It had a grey coat with dark black specks on it. its rump was pure white and had big black spots on it. it had wide scared electric blue eyes.

I frowned when I saw a big gash on its side. I knew right away who did this.

Orcs.

As I got closer the horse backed up and I stopped. It reared and whinnied in fear. I fell back because the horses hoof hit my shoulder.

When I hit the ground my hood fell off my head.

I got all kinds of gasps from the Dwarves, but that wasn't my main priority right now.

I got up and the Dwarves started to come forward with their weapons scaring the horse.

"Stop!" I screamed, "Put your weapons down! Your scaring her!"
I didn't know how I knew it was a her, but I just felt it.

They reluctantly put their weapons down and stepped away.

I turned back to the horse who was shivering in fright and said, "Do not be scared."

I simply knelt down on one knee and stretched out my arm for her to sniff. I put my head down to the ground so I wouldn't make her uncomfortable.

She took small steps and when she came close enough to sniff my hand she hesitated. Once she touched my hand there was a bright light and through the bright light I could see the horse fall to her knees and on to her side. Then there was darkness.

~Kili's POV~

Once the Lone Rider's hood fell off I couldn't speak.

He was a girl around my age and was breathtakingly beautiful.

She had Raven black hair with a blue streak in her hair. She had electric blue eyes. It seemed as if I was under a spell from her beauty.

~Gandalf's POV~

"It can not be!," I whispered to myself.

Serena has found her spirt animal.

She has also revealed her identity to them.
