We find the troll cave and it is filled with riches and beautiful swords. You are admiring the beautiful gems. You hear Thorin and Gandalf talking about the swords. Thorin finds out they were made by elfs and huffs and turns away. He grabs Fili by the arm and whispers something in his ear. Thorin gestures at you and Fili nods. Fili walks over to you.
"Hey" you say. You are sitting and you look up at him smiling. You are looking through the jewelry.
"Hey" he says as he kneels beside you. The way he is moving is awkward and you can tell he's anxious. You giggle, he relaxes a bit.
"So, um, I mean.... Well we, you know, are betrothed. So, um, I thought maybe you and I should..." He says stumbling over his words and stuttering. You smile and say,
"Fili, are you trying to propose?" You say with a smile. He blushes and gives you an innocent crooked smile.
"Yes, well umm, I thought we should just make it official because we are on our journey back home." He is looking at the ground. You see he is fumbling with something in his hands. It is a small, silver ring with little white diamonds all around. You use your hand to lift his chin so he is looking into your eyes. He quickly says as he holds up the ring to you,
"It doesn't have to be this one, it's very small and unworthy of you. You can choose a bigger one." You giggle. You lean in close so that your inches away from his face, "it's perfect" you whisper. "I accept your humble proposal." You say. He gives you the biggest smile and he slips the ring on your finger.
"It fits perfect my queen." He smiles and you both stand up and embrace. He lifts you off the ground as you hug and then you hear clapping. He puts you down and you look to the opening of the cave. The entire company is there clapping, smiling, and hooting. Kili is whistling.
"Congratulations." Gandalf says as you emerge from the cave. You give Gandalf a hug. He is surprised by it but hugs you back.
You go down the line with everyone hugging you and congratulating you both. When you get to Kili he give you a tight hug and you kiss each other on the cheeks.
"So, you are my sister!" He says excitedly.
"I was before too Kili." You say with a laugh. Thorin was next. He hugs you and grabs Fili also.
"I expect much from you two." He says with a serious face.
"We know uncle." Fili says
"We won't let you down." You say
"Come on let's go, something is coming."
"It's Radagast." He says. Radagast the brown. Seeing him it person was crazy to you. You had heard much about him from Gandalf during your journey. Radagast begins to talk to Gandalf with much worry. You are only half listening. You are to busy looking at your ring. All of a sudden you hear a howl.
"What was that? Was it a wolf?" Bilbo askes
"That was no wolf." Thorin answers. Everyone pulls out their weapons. Suddenly a Warg and it's rider jump out. You and Kili shoot arrows killing the Warg. Dwalin kills the Orc. Another Warg jumps out and Kili and you again kill it.
"Who did you tell beyond your kin of your quest?" Gandalf askes Thorin.
"No one. I swear! What in Durins name is going on?" Thorin askes
"You are being hunted." Gandalf says
Radagast decides to try to throw them off our trail. Gandalf doesn't think they will work, but Radagast insists.
Rhosgobel rabbits. They were fast.
We all ran from bolder to bolder. We were going in circles. We were almost seen a few times. One of the Warg and orcs found us. We killed it, but others saw us. Gandalf called for us. He shouted to go down the tunnel. Kili and I were the last ones. We finally ran to the tunnel. Kili throwing me down first. Fili helps me and his brother up. We hear a horn. Then an Orc rolls down the tunnel. Fili puts you behind him. The Orc is dead with an arrow. Thorin grabs the arrow and spits, "Elves"
There is a tunnel. Should we follow it?" Dwalin askes.
"Do you have any better ideas?" You say dripping with sarcasm. With that, you all begin to walk down the tunnel.
