A Hobbit's Tale-Thorin's P.O.V.

21-Gandalf

Goblin King: "Well, well, well! Look who it is! Son of Thrain, son of Thror, King Under the Mountain!"(He bowed slightly while his minions snickering around us, mockingly)"But I seem to forget, you don't have a mountain & you are not a King. Which makes you no one, really!"
I refrained from responding to this as I stared at the creature. I could tell the company getting uneasy behind me, not liking this at all.
Goblin King: "I know someone who would pay a pretty price for your head. Nothing attached, just your head"(I just glared at him as he continued)"I believe you know of whom I speak of. An old enemy of yours. A pale orc astride a white warg."
Thorin:(Growling low)"Azog the Defiler was destroyed. He was slain in battle long ago."
Goblin King: "So you believe that his defiling days are done, do you?"
My mind went blank for a moment trying to process on what he said. Vaguely, I saw him instructing this smallest goblin in sending a message to him. But it cannot be, the pale orc is dead, I kept reminding myself repeatedly. I was being pulled back to my company, I glanced at them just as the goblins tried to restrain us. I noticed Anya, her face looked pinched, she wasn't looking at me for some reason. I saw the goblins bringing in those torturing devices, by the name of Durin, we need to escape but how? We were surrounded & not to mention outnumbered. I groaned inwardly for that monstrosity began singing again, by Mahal.

'Bones will be shattered,
Necks will be wrung!
You'll be beaten & battered,
From rocks you'll be hung,
You will lie down here & never be found,
Down in the deep of Goblin town!'

I gritted my teeth at this horrendous display of merriment. It was as it seemed that he wishes to torture us himself. We had to escape somehow but at this moment our weapons were out of our reach. Speaking of which I noted that one of the minions was holding my Orcrist, examining it. Just as he merely pulled it out barely an inch suddenly he dropped it, screeching loudly. The Goblin King all of a sudden began to cower against his throne & trembling like a leaf, somehow he recognized the sword.
Goblin King:(Pointing a shaky finger)"I know that sword! It is the goblin cleaver! The Biter! The blade that sliced a thousand necks!"
Next thing I knew the goblins began whipping, scratching & clawed at us, screeching. I saw them touching Anya, she was fighting back though but I also stepped in, pulling the foul creatures off her. I punched one of them for it pulled at her long hair. I wanted to protect her but then the goblins began to overcrowd me. I found myself on my back, I tried to fight back but they had me pinned down, too many goblins, curse them. I could hear the Goblin King shout to cut off my head. I could tell Anya & my friends trying to fight the creatures to help me. I could feel the cold steel of their weapon on my neck. I watched as the weapon was in the air. Before it could strike all of a sudden a flash of bright light came in a blast. Knocking everyone off their feet & shattered the equipment in the process. I was dazed for a moment but I could easily guess who did it. Gandalf the Grey, he found us. Surely enough I saw his familiar figure, holding his staff & sword.
Gandalf: "Pick up arms! Get up! Fight, fight!"
He didn't need to repeat that as we pushed & shoved the goblins off. We began picking up our weapons just as Gandalf slays the goblins, again I noticed their master cowering, now what?
Goblin King: "He wields the Foe-Hammer! The Beater! Bright as daylight!"
Ookay!? Gathering our weapons fighting back, Anya shouted my name as she kicked the Orcrist towards me. I grabbed it just as the Goblin King pounced at me but I struck my sword against his shoulder causing the creature to stumble back. Gandalf began to lead us & we followed him.
Gandalf: "Make way! Quickly!"
I let the girl run ahead of me following the wizard with the others. The goblins began to gather in numbers just as we were running through the tunnels. They were catching up to us just as we went deeper into the Goblin Town. Swiftly we fought back as we went on. Behind me I could see the girl slay the goblins with skill but I was feeling protective, I told my nephews & Dwalin to stay with her. Instructing them in khuzdul of course, they obliged. Within a few minutes she caught up to me & Gandalf, I guess I underestimated the girl. I could not help admire her, Gandalf was right about Anya Hadin. Next we split in two groups, I was with Anya & Gandalf while Dwalin lead the other group. We were seriously outnumbered yet we persevered for we had to escape. Back to back with the girl, together we slashed a group of goblins coming towards us, she even used her hidden knives against our enemy. More headed our way I grabbed her arm to pull her along with me. Then we saw another group of goblins heading our way but this time using ropes at another angle. Curse them.
Thorin: "Cut the ropes!"
We cut off the ropes in time which caused a pathway to break away & it prevented our enemy to come near us. Soon we caught up with the other group, they were crossing their makeshift bridge, getting across to join us. As we jumped down a platform I could see Dwalin & his group cross a broken ladder being used as the makeshift bridge, next he knocked it down with his axe along with the goblins. We continued attacking the creatures but we had to stop for a path was missing, Kili sliced a rope just as the goblins swarmed towards us. The path started to swing towards the other side, Anya & a few of the dwarfs were able to jump off. Taking a quick glance behind me I saw Anya skid on her knees on time to cut off some goblins headed towards them. Swinging back & forth, more goblins swarmed in but we fought back. Fili swiftly cut off the rope just as everyone else managed to jump off. The path fell in the chasm below with those goblins screaming, good riddance. We continued running through the Goblin town then Gandalf strikes a huge rock with his staff, it fell down & began rolling in front of us squashing the creatures along the way. Myself & Dwalin were behind Anya as we were at the back of the group heading towards a bridge to cross, which was between two walls. We were about to cross it then suddenly the Goblin King emerges from beneath the bridge, blocking our escape route. Curse it, we had no choice but to stop, looking back hundreds of his minions had surrounded us. Now what? Dwalin & I had moved in front of the girl, I gripped my Orcrist tightly. We were in a deep predicament, so to speak. Pursing my lips I turned to look at Gandalf who was in the front facing the Goblin.
Goblin King:(Sneering)"You thought you could escape me?"
He smashed his staff & stomped towards Gandalf, causing him to stumble back yet he recovered for Ori & Dori supported him.
Goblin King: "What are you going to do now, Wizard?"
I frowned at this, really, he had to ask? Gandalf poked his staff into the creature's eye. Ouch!? Then he sliced Goblin's stomach, he fell to his knees groaning in anguish, clutching his wound. His minions around us froze on the spot.
Goblin King: "That'll do it!"
Next Gandalf slashed his throat, the Goblin fell, dead. But the bridge began to shake due to the dead creature's weight. Then the bridge began to collapse in the chasm below. We had to hang on literally for our lives as we fell in such a speed, screaming our heads off, literally. It fell nearly apart just as it crash landed at the ground floor the company groaned, ow! Gandalf pulled himself out of the debris & Anya followed him out, stumbling. We were bruised & all, yet thankful to be in one piece.
Bofur: "Well that could've been worse!"
No sooner had he said those words the body of the dead Goblin King landed on top of us. CRASH! The company groaned out aloud.
Dwalin: "You've got to be joking!"
I could not help but agree with my old friend. Curse it!
