Queen beneath Fili

The Reunion

You ride into the night on your horse, you are anxious and excited. You have not seen your fellow dwarfs in many years. You soon find the house Gandalf spoke of. You hop off your horse and let her graze on the hobbits front yard. "Stay here and rest my love" you whisper as you pet her neck. She huffs in reply. You smile and walk to the door. You knock quietly at first, then harder. The door swings open and you see a short man, the hobbit.
"Lady Ledia, at your service!" You say and bow low so your long curly brown hair touches the floor. It is covered in dirt and has twigs in in. You looked a fright, covered in dirt.
"Bilbo Baggins" he bows back, "at your service" he stares at you for a little, then you hear,
"Ledia!?" You hear a familiar voice sounding astonished. Bilbo moves out of your way and you see a handsome dwarf you knew from long ago. His hair a mess and his face with more stubble than a beard.
"KILI?" You run and jump on him knocking him over and you two embrace.
"We thought you were dead!" He said, his voice cracking, as you pulled back and grabbed his face. You couldn't believe he was there.
"We?" And you say that Fili whips around the corner. You jump up and he pick you up off the ground and then pulls you into a tight embrace.
"We thought you were gone." He said. He wiped a tear from your face.
"Why do you cry Ledia." He said holding her face as he fought back tears.
"Tears of joy." You grabbed the boys hands. "I missed you both."
"Gandalf said he had a surprise for us, I never imagined it would be you." Fili said. You all stared at each other's faces. You all had changed so much. All three of you had gotten taller, your faces thinned out, and the boys had beards.
"How long has it been?" Kili asked.
"Far too long." You say, "But now is not the time to speak of the past. We will talk later. I'm far too tired to remember all that has happened."
"Come, you must be starving" Fili said grabbing your hand and Kili lead you both to the dining room. When you walked in the room went silent.
"Ledia?" Dwalin said in disbelief.
"Yes it's me."
Balin got up and bowed slightly to her. She bowed back to him. You all take your seats.
"Lady Ledia, a pleasure to see you again. I see you are happy to be back with your kin." Gandalf said.
"Oh yes, I've missed them dearly!" you say grabbing Kili and Fili by their hands. You were sat comfortably between them. Oh how you missed them.
After eating, laughing, driving poor Bilbo insane, and a song, Thorin arrived. He looked tired. He glanced at you and did a double take.
"Ledia" he said looking shocked.
"You're here. How?" She got up and hugged him.
"Gandalf found me." She sat him down. He continued to look at her. You knew why he was staring. You reminded him of someone from long ago.
"I'll fetch you some food and drink." you say as you dissapear into the kitchen. You bring him his food. You are about to walk out of the room but Thorin grabs your arm.
"Stay," he says, "We must now discuss why we are here."
"Gandalf has already told me, I was hoping I could get a quick bath before bed, may I?"
He hesitated, then said, "Very well..." You smile and give him a kiss on the cheek before you walk away. Don't get the wrong idea, you didn't like him like that, he was like an older brother, you admired him, everyone knew that.
You had your bath, and got redressed to be with your friends. You sat in front to the fire, you were very cold and loved the heat. Fili and Kili sat across from you. Kili motions you to go over. You crawl over and sit in between them. You are tired and lean against Fili. You are so comfortable to be with them again. Kili takes your legs and lays them across his lap. Fili wraps his arm around you. All of your friends either sat or stood watching the fire crackle, memories danced in their eyes like the fire that was reflecting off of them. Low hums began to surround you. A lullaby you remembered hearing as a child. Thorin began singing,
Far over the misty mountains cold,
Though dungeons deep, and caverns old...
The distant memory of this song being sung to you as a child came to you. You remember a woman's voice singing along with Thorins voice in the memory. The others began to join in,
The pines were roaring, on the hight,
The winds were moaning, in the night,
You look up at Fili who is singing along. He kisses you on your head and pets your long hair when the song ends. You all lay down and fall asleep, the adventure began first thing in the morning.
