Chapter45 – Like father like son
"Wedon't we play something else?" Frerin didn't like his bow and arrowand didn't want to spend the day with Kili and Fili. "I want to seegrandmother"
"Frerin,you can't go to your grandmother. You have to learn how to use yourbow. When I was your age I wanted to do other things too but uncleThorin always trained with me because I was his heir and you aremine. One day you will be king under the mountain and all dwarves ofErebor count on you. You will be their king and lead their army"Fili knelt beside his son while Kili shot more arrows into the wideland. "We will kills orcs, Frerin. And don't worry your father isas bad with arrows as you"
"Thankyou, Kili, this helps a lot" Fili sighed and was angry with hisbrother. He had to teach his son how to fight but Kili's wordsfinally gave him an idea. "Why don't you try this and..."
Filiwhispered something to his son who held his father's sword andstumbled towards his uncle Kili who laughed at the sight of the notvery majestic future king. "Fili, he can't even hold your sword. Atleast uncle Thorin let you train with... AH!"
Kiliscreamed when Frerin hit his butt with the sword. The boy didn'tleave any cuts but the bruises would hurt Kili for days. "How dareyou? You can't attack me like this!"
"Buthe can strike with my sword. He is already a warrior. I guess he is anatural talent" Fili laughed and Frerin too before his interestreturned to his father's sword and he cut gras off the rocks.
Kilirubbed his butt and walked back inside the mountain while Filiwatched his son a bit longer before he helped him and showed Frerinhow to hold a sword. His own sword was too big and heavy for histeaching his son but Frerin was eager to learn. "Can we kill orcstomorrow?"
"Youdon't learn how to fight for fun. You learn it to defend your peoplewhen the war comes" Fili took Frerin back inside but stopped at thegate of Erebor when Frerin pulled on his shirt. "Daddy... will theorcs and war come to us?"
"Yes,Frerin, I looks like that" Fili kissed his son and wished the evilwould leave Erebor be.
