You have all read or watched the Hobbit and know that 13 dwarves, a hobbit & wizard set out on a quest. But what if a young elf maiden joined them on their quest to reclaim their home of Erebor from the dragon. Saphira does not know who her family i...
We soon reached the front of the mountain to see the entrance barricaded. An arrow was shot at father and hit the ground in front of him. "The next one will be through your head" a voice said from the mountain. I looked up to see Bilbo and all the dwarves looking down at us. All the dwarves were wearing some type of army and Thorin wore a crown.
All the elves drew their bows and armed them at the dwarves that cheered. My rose his hand and the elves returned their weapons as I made Bella walk to his side. I was dressed in elven armor and a circlet on my head. Showing that I was not only a princess, but a warrior of my father's realm.

"We have come to pay you payment, your debt has been offered and accepted" Father tells Thorin.
"What payment? I gave you no payment" Thorin replies. Bard and father nod looking at me & I took out the Arkenstone.
"We have this" Bard tells him as I lift the stone into the air for all to see.
"They have the Arkenstone, thieves" Kili says glaring at me.
"That stone belongs to the king" one of the other dwarves declares.
"He may have it, when he has honoured his word to the people of Lake town" I state. Tossing the stone into the air and then catching it. Then passed it to Bard who placed it in his jacket pocket out of sight.
"It is a lie, the Arkenstone is in this mountain" Thorin states not believing we had his stone. "It is a fake, it is a trick" he declares glaring at Bard.
"It is no trick" Bilbo told Thorin stepping towards him. "It is real, I gave it to them" he tells the dwarves who were facing him.
"You?" Thorin asks as he faced Bilbo.
"I took it as my fourteenth share" Bilbo tells him.
"You would steal from me?" Thorin asks him calmly. I couldn't hear want Bilbo was telling him, but knew it wasn't helping his case at all. "Your miserable rat" Thorin growls at Bilbo dropping the bow he was holding. Bilbo though was still trying to reason with Thorin while we all watched.
"The dwarf I met in Bag End would never go back on his word" Bilbo tells Thorin loudly. I nod my head silently agreeing with what Bilbo said. The Thorin I know would never go back on his word or abandon people who have lost their home like he had. "Would never have doubted the loyalty of their kin" Bilbo states nodding to the other dwarves around them. This was definitely not the Thorin I knew or who had saved my life.
Thorin said something before telling the other dwarves to throw Bilbo over the wall. But the dwarves did not move to grab Bilbo. We watched from the base of the mountain and I just wanted the old Thorin back. "Did you not hear?" Thorin asks them loudly going to grab Fili, who pulled away.
Then he grabbed Bilbo saying he'd do it himself and the other dwarves moved to stop him. "Leave him alone! This is not the dwarf who saved my life! He'd never hurt Bilbo!" I yell. The other dwarves got Thorin the drop Bilbo and pushed Bilbo out of harms way.
"If you do not like my burglar" Gandalf said loudly stepping forward between Bard and I. "Then return him to me undamaged" he tells Thorin. "You are not giving a good example as king under the mountain, Thorin son of Thrain" he states.
"Never again will I have dealings with wizards, Shire-rats and elves" Thorin tells us. I watched Bofur leading Bilbo away from Thorin. A rope was tossed over the wall and Bilbo started to climb down it.
"Are we in an agreement?" Bard asks Thorin. "The Arkenstone in exchange for want was promised" he explains. Thorin is breathing deeply as he looks from Bard to a hill near by. "Give us your answer" Bard tells Thorin.
"Will you have peace or war?" I ask Thorin looking at him and the other dwarves individually. They all looked at me with mixed feelings; sadness, anger, fear, confusion, sympathetic, remorseful, hopelessness, conflicted and sorrow. Just then a raven landed in front of Thorin on the wall.
"I will have war" Thorin tells us looking at the hill. We all turned to it and saw an army of dwarves appear. My father tells Bard to keep his men back while the elves dealt with the dwarves. That is when the fight started with arrows first, then swords, axes and hammers.
