What Once Was Lost {Hobbit Fanfic} Book 1

Tha- Edhen (The Beginning)

Recap-
The Dwarves, Hobbit and I began our walk back to the others..
"So now we wait for Gandalf."
"When do you think he will come, if at all?" Bilbo asked us.
I smiled.
"He'll come laddie, he will come."
"Balin's right. Mithrandir will come. That, I'm sure of."

Up ahead I could hear shouts from Adad and the others, making me quicken my pace.
'What on earth is going on?'
"Enough!" I shouted. Evidently not loud enough.
I sighed and separated myself from the group even more.

I then focused and turned into a red-tailed hawk. 'That should get their attention.'

I took flight, circling around the crazed loud group. What was going on?
They were trying to hold Thorin back, keep him in the Throne.
I dived and got Thorin's attention, just enough to let the others push him back and get the vines tied around him, how that worked? I have no idea.
I landed on the arm of Adad's Throne, glaring at him. "Just please stop struggling. This is for your own good, trust us."
"Trust you? You're the one that ordered these..these vines to attack me!"
I sighed. 'Stupid jewel.' "Your right. I did. But only because I care about you. So, if that's a crime then i'm guilty as can be." I said, flying away.

Little did she know that small sentence brought back just a small bit of Thorin, King Under The Mountain. If Arietta would have looked back, she would have seen his confused face looking at her.

The Dwarves, Bilbo, And I - the Acea. Took turns watching over Adad. It was always two or three at a time. He was in his room and we guarded the door, it was sad. And I spent many a night crying. And pacing, just plain upset. I was now the one in charge, basically. I felt horrible - so much pressure.
I couldn't wait for Gandalf to get here, or any good Witch or Wizard. - That was another reason for my worry. I had a vision one night, and it made me uneasy.

-* I saw Gandalf hanging from a metal cage off the edge of a cliff, in what must be Dol Guldur it looked oddly familiar from my other vision with Azog and the Shadow. So.. dark, depressing. He then started to whisper in a form of Elvish. Gandalf seemed so..unlike himself. I then heard more then one voice, two were whispering Elvish spells. Gandalf and...What sounded like Radagast the Brown. A figure then walked up to Gandalf and spoke in Black Speech *Spells will not save you, old man.* I could sense a different presence, a person. Coming. I saw the Orc throw Gandalf's metal cage, his prison on the ground. He grunted out in pain. The cage had spikes. The Orc spoke again, *This is my Master's domain... Die now Wizard!* He picked Gandalf up by his neck, getting ready to kill him. Just as the other person came into view. The Orc attempted to attack her, Lady Of Light but she blasted him away with some of her magic - The powerful blast of light that shot from her hand shone for miles. She walked to Gandalf, who was barely alive. More voices then appeared, *Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky... Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone...* I could see her stiffen and her beautiful face pale. "...Nine for mortal Men doomed to die." She spoke. Around her, ghost-like men started to appear. Nine of them. She still held Gandalf. *You cannot fight the shadow.* Sauron spoke. *Even now you fade... One light alone in the darkness.* Lady Galadriel suddenly looked determined. "I am not alone." An Elf, Lord Elrond stepped out of the shadows, battle ready and unsheathed his sword. To the right of him, the White Wizard Saruman stepped out, asking - "Are you in need of assistance, my lady?"
The Nazgul snarled.
"You should've stayed dead!" Lord Elrond spoke, going to attack a Nazgul.
"Mithrandir, come back." Lady Galadriel spoke, healing him. He then gasped
"He is here." Gandalf spoke quickly.
"Yes. The darkness has returned." Saruman and Lord Elrond were still fighting in the background when Radagast showed up. "Gandalf! Climb on!" And so he did.
"He is weak He cannot remain here. It is draining his life." Lady Galadriel informed Radagast. "Go! Quickly!"
Gandalf grabbed her hand, "Come with me, my Lady." She pulled her hand back and used her powers, "GO!" The Lady of Light look spent, passing out.
*It has begun.* Sauron spoke. *The East will fall. So shall the Kingdom of Angmar will rise. The time of the Elves is over. The Age of the Orc has come.* Lady Galadriel then rose to her feet, no longer herself. She was using her powers completely - she was blue, scary looking. Normal voice gone. A ball of light appeared on the palm of her hand. "You have no power here servant of Morgoth. You are nameless. Faceless. Formless. Go back to the void from whence you came!" She slowly returned back to her normal self and started to collapse, but Lord Elrond caught her.
"We were deceived." Elrond spoke. She nodded, "The spirit of Sauron endured." ...
"And has been banished." Saurman said.
" He will flee into the East." She informed the two, still very weak..
 "Gondor should be warned. They must set a watch on the walls of Mordor." Elrond spoke, wisely. Saurman was looking over the lands. "No. Look after the Lady Galadriel. She has spent much of her power. Her strength is failing. Take her to Lothlórien." He ordered. Lord Elrond stood up and looked at him, as did Lady Galadriel from the ground. "My Lord Saruman. He must be hunted down and destroyed once and for all." Saurman turned to them "Without the Ring of Power Sauron never again hold dominion over Middle-Earth. Go now. Leave Sauron to me."
