Chapter 8 My One

Falathiel's POV

We spent the next few days in Rivendell. Thorin was now attempting to learn my language. I spent a lot of time teaching him with Bilbo. Kili stayed by my side during this, helping. I also spent time in the library Elrond had trying to figure out who my family might be. I didn't care about them, Dis, Thorin, Fili, and Kili and these other dwarves were all the family I needed. I just wanted to know who they were.

If I had some kind of connection to the dragons I wanted to know what it was. We were leaving tomorrow and I had found nothing. I was a little disappointed but not surprised. Since I was left in the mountains to die I doubted there would be a record of me, anywhere. I did learn plenty about dragon riders, masters and shifters though. If I was one of those things I now had lots of information in my head.

One of the things I learned is that if I was a shift I wouldn't phase until I was a hundred years old, at least that was if I was an elf. For humans it would be thirty, dwarves 80. I was 75, I had a few more years to go till I was able to phase if that was what I was. If I was a dragon master I wouldn't know till I faced my first dragon and the parent I had received the gift from would have to be dead before I could use it. This gift was more common in humans than in elves and dwarves. All dragon riders were elves or became elves so they could live as long as their dragon.

I left the library to get some sleep for we left early the next day but I was stopped by Kili. He took me out to the gardens, I sat near several water falls wishing that I could hear their might roar that would sound like thunder rolling over the plains signaling the arrival of a summer storm. Kili sat beside me and even in the low light I could see that he was playing with something in his hands.

Something had him nervous, I wasn't sure what though. I placed my hand over his causing him to look at me. I signed with my other hand, "What is on your mind Kili?"

"I don't know how to do this so I'm just going to be straight," he said pulling a hand from mine and he held up a small bead, it was his one bead. "I believe that you are my one. I feel complete when you are near and when we are apart I feel like I can't breathe. When you were injured I thought I would lose you and I had no idea how I would cope with that. So if you would have me?" he asked pushing the bead toward me. I pulled mine out of my hair and held it out to him.

"Yes," I said taking his bead as he took mine. We both put a one braid in the other's hair, tying it off with the one bead we had exchanged. I was curious as to what the others would think but didn't really care. I had found my one, or whatever elves called the one they were meant to spend the rest of their lives with. I had been raised as a dwarf so I called him my one. That night we shared a bed even though nothing happened between us. We wanted to wait, till we were home.

Kili's POV

My one lay next to me as she slept. I couldn't believe she had said yes. We had been raised as brother and sister, it was odd that I had found my one in her, dwarves usually found their one in another dwarf. To hear that she felt the same was incredible. I was so happy at this moment and didn't even worry about what the others would think. I would find out soon enough though.
