Coincidence? →️The Hobbit fanfic

Ⅳ️ A short rest

~Erlanda's POV~ 
I chuckled at the funny song I heard just to get a strange look from the Dwarves. "Uh... don't you find the song silly too?" I asked them. Was that maybe a tradition and I had just made fun of it? "You understand what they are singing?" Kili asked.

"Yes, of cour- wait, you don't?" This was getting strange now. The Dwarves just shook their heads. "What did they sing?" Fili asked curiously. I was just about to answer when a tall man with long brown hair came out of the trees and Bowed to Gandalf and to Thorin

~Fili's POV~

"Welcome to the Valley," The elf said. "Mithrandir, Mellonamin...And you must be Thorin" he said to both of them. "How do you know my name elf?" My uncle asked. "You look much like your Father" he answered.

"Galad i naur a tul- i miruvor, mín must bui- mín gues" the elf then announced. "Was that a threat?" Gloin asked lifting his ax. Erlanda chuckled. I looked at her confused and she whispered "He said 'Light the fire and bring the wine, we must serve our guests'" I laughed.

"He just invited us to supper," Gandalf said, now also laughing. We turned around to discuss. "I guess we can accept that" Gloin answered the elf.

~Erlanda's POV~
We sat at the table and the dwarves looked at the food in disbelief "Don't they have some meat?" Gloin asked "I don't like green food" Ori stated, holding up some lettuce.

I chuckled but I have to admit that I didn't like their food either. Maybe I liked this 'Rabbit Food', how Dwalin called it, before my memory loss, but travelling with the Dwarves, who preferred meat, I had started to be accustomed to the taste of it.

"What is her name?" Sir Elrond, how I now knew the elf was called, said to Gandalf. I shrugged and he looked at me interested "You speak Sindarin?" He asked me and I looked confused "What is Sindarin?" I asked. Not knowing that I actually spoke it.

Elrond chuckled "The language you are speaking" "Could you please talk in a way, we all understand?" Gloin asked grumpily. I was confused. Had I really spoken another language?

"So, what's your Name now?" Sir Elrond asked again. I shrugged and Kili said, "We call her Erlanda" "You call her that? So, you don't know her name?" The elf asked curiously. "No, we don't" I answered and told him how I woke up in the forest and that I found the company during a 'little fiasco' with trolls, without going into details.

Kili winked at a She-elf who was playing an instrument but as he saw how Dwalin than looked at him he said something about to high cheekbones and cream skin. "Although some look quite good," he said looking at another elf. "That is not an elf maiden," Dwalin said and we all laughed while Kili blushed.

Thorin and Gandalf showed Sir Elrond the swords we found in the troll cave to see if maybe he could read the runes on them. "This, Thorin, the runes name 'Orcrist', the 'Goblin-cleaver' in the ancient tongue of Gondolin, it was a famous blade, forged by the elves in the West, my kin. This, Gandalf, was 'Glamdring', the 'Foe-hammer' that the king of Gondolin once wore. Keep them safe!" He said to us.

"I wonder when the trolls got them," Thorin said with new interest. "I do not know," Elrond said.

Some Dwarves stood up and went to a moon-stone-thing to look at some secret runes on a map that Thorin seemed to carry with him.

Of course, I wasn't invited, so I stayed behind with Kili and Fili. They didn't seem too pleased. "Sorry" I mumbled. "For what?" asked Fili. "That you can't go see the map," I said but Kili responded "That's not your fault"

I smiled at them and we heard an elf say "Whui na- i norn hi? Hain wil glenn- a ú- medi- mín aes. Hain na- onlui pher-adan plural edain. " "What did they say?" Kili asked as I looked angrily at the elf "They don't like you" I answered. He just nodded.

Later the other Dwarves came back with the Hobbit and the wizard. They said something about a 'Durin's day' and some rocks. After that, we laid to sleep but before I fell asleep I could hear Thorin whisper to Kili and Fili "Stand by the grey stone when the thrush knocks and the setting sun with the last light of Durin's day will shine upon the key-hole"

The next morning was a beautiful day, the sky was bright and blue and shined on the water. We rode away while Bofur, Nori, and Bifur sang songs. We were stocked up with food again (even if it was rabbit food) and we had new hope to find adventures and travel to our destination which seemed to be a big mountain far away.
