I walk in the hall where we tried to trap Smaug in gold. It has hardened so I walked on it. The gold. Is that was is driving me to madness? I exiled our burglar. Now I realize he was trying to help me. And what do I do? I tell my friends to throw him off the wall. He's my friend. My greatest friend of all. Before we got to the mountain, I felt something strange whenever I looked at him. In my heart. Is this love? I never felt love like this before. 

I return to the front gate to see the company sitting there. Kíli sees me and gets up.

"I will not hide behind a wall of stone, while others fight our battles for us! It is not in my blood, Thorin."

"No, it is not. We are sons of Durin, and Durin's folk do not flee from a fight."

I give him a hug and say, "I have no right to ask this of any of you, but will you follow me, one last time?"

They all get up and grab their weapons with a smile on their faces. Gladly welcoming the return of Thorin Oakenshield, leader of the company.

A/N: Yes I know. Short chapter. But I promise the next one will be longer. At least, I will try.
