Later, Thorin and Nadina walked back into the dining hall, where they discovered Bofur and the dwarves singing merrily, while Bofur danced and sang on a pillar centered in the dining room. Angelina and Bilbo danced together first, and then Fili and Kili quickly cutting in. Thorin chuckled. Everyone smiled when they saw Thorin and Nadina entered the Hall hand in hand. "We should join the fun!" grinned Nadina. "May I have this dance, Nadina?" grinned Thorin. "I will be honored, your majesty!" said Nadina smiling, and she curtsied. Thorin laughed, and he began spinning Nadina as they danced. "Hey lads! Look Thorin and Nadina are dancing!" chirped Gloin. "Awe isn't that soo cute? Say Kili! Go dance with the elf harpist! She's sitting over there!" joked Angelina, remembing watching the young dwarf winking at the elf maiden earlier. "Ha ha, very funny Angelina." said Kili.  When Bofur's song finished, everyone asked if Angelina could sing. "I would, but i need Nadina's help on this one." said Angelina turning her eyes towards Nadina, soon the other dwarves looked at Nadina. "No, no! I'm not going to sing, forget it, Angelina!" said Nadina. Nadina always believed she couldn't sing, even if she tried. She sang a few times with her friend for fun,but she thought she had a very lousy voice. "Trust me, you don't want to hear me sing!" concluded Nadina. "Oh come on, Nadina. Let us hear you sing with Angelina." insisted Thorin. Nadina sighed. "Very well. What are we going to sing, Angelina?" asked. "Remember the show tune my mother always sung for us, and then we sung it together in teh school's talent show? I got Rhythm?"  asked Angelina. "Yes, I remember the song. Lets sing it!" said Nadina.

And the two girls started singing 'I got Rhythm' as the twof them started to dance as well. The dwarves and Bilbo cheered as they danced along with their song.  With the company picking up words quickly, the joined in with them, even Thorin.  When Nadina and Angelina finished their song, the dwarves cheered and applauded. "And you said you couldn't sing! You have a beautiful voice, Nadina, and you dance very well!" grinned Thorin. Nadina blushed. "Nadina! I still need to have a word with you, later after the meeting with Gandalf!" called out Elrond. "Alright Elrond!" said Nadina.  "I'll see you later, Thorin!" said Nadina.  Gandalf, Thorin, Balin and Bilbo joined Elrond for their conference, while Angelina and Nadina joined up with the other dwarves in another part of the palace, where the dwarves set up a makeshift camp.   The dwarves continued their merrymaking there, and Nori happened to find musical instruments from another room nearby. "Lets play some music!" called out Nori, and he handed two fiddles over to Fili and Kili, while Nori himself took up a lute.  Bofur already had an instrument of his own, which is own flute, that he always carried with him.

Dwalin took out his fiddle, that he still carried with him, while others used drums, and other instruments that Nori had found.  Nori always found a harp, but he kept the instrument back for Thorin, when they play some more when Thorin returned.  Angelina and Nadina watched the dwarves play their music and singing.   Later, an elf entered. "Nadina, Lord Elrond and Lady Galadriel wishes to see you now." said the Elf. "Alright. I'm on my way!" said Nadina, and she followed the Elf out of the room.

Nadina's POV

As I entered the room, I saw Lord Elrond, Gandalf and Galadriel together in the room. It seemed rather dark, only the light of the moon shone in the room. "Its an honor to meet you, Nadina daughter of Orven and Silvania. And you know why you were summoned here this evening, to discuss your curse." said Galadriel. "Yes. A curse I wish I never have in the beginning. Is there a way this curse can be broken?" I asked them. "Well, there is. And it involves around the necklace you are wearing, Nadina. You have to destroy the necklace." said Elrond. "And how am I supposed to do that?"  I asked them. "Dragon fire. But I cannot be your own dragon fire." said Elrond. "I don't understand. What do you mean it cannot be my own fire?" I asked them. "You know whom I speak of, that is why you are sent here joining Thorin and Company to Erebor. As you may know already, there is a dragon that still resides in the Lonely Mountain. And it is his dragon fire that will destroy your curse, and it will also destroy him. The magic in the necklace will destroy your curse and Smaug as well." said Elrond. "But that means I will die!!" I cried out. "No, you will not die, but you will be mortally wounded and ill,but with enough strength you will be saved." said Galadriel.
