Third person POV

Thorin was not pleased with the fact that he awoke in the air with the Guardian of Durin in deep meditation, Gandalf was torn between amusement and telling the Jedi to put them down. Thorin waited until the Guardian of Durin let them down to the ground gently before he walked over to her "Please do not do that again." he asked

"I will try Master Thorin, though I don't see how I can unless I meditate away from the company," she replied.

Thorin nodded and went to his pony to get it ready to leave, they traveled well throughout the day getting rained on due to weather which when Dori brought it up the rain stopped. He looked up to see the rain hitting an invisible shield "Does that help Master Dori?" Tallia asked

"Aye that it does Lassie," Dwalin replied happily that they had a cover that conveniently followed them around.

Gandalf looked at Tallia and smiled "Thank you, my dear, " Gandalf said

"You are welcome, my friend," she replied.

After Bilbo asked Gandalf of about other wizards they stopped for the night where Tallia began to sing in a language none of them heard before.

Taung sa rang broka Mando'ade ka'rta.
Dha Werda Verda a'den tratu,
Manda'yaim kandosii adu.
Duum motir ca'tra nau tracinya.
Gra'tua cuun hett su dralshy'a.

Kom'rk tsad droten troch nyn ures adenn.
Dha Werda Verda a'den tratu,

Gra'tua cuun hett su dralshy'a.

When she was finished everyone looked at her "What in the name of Mahal was that?" Thorin asked

"Mando'a, my mother was the daughter of their king Mandalore named after their homeworld, my father was a Republic officer, both died when I was a baby and due to my force sensitivity the Jedi Order took me in and raised me. The song speaks of my mother's ancestors. Roughly translated the song is called Dance of the Shadow Warriors." Tallia said, "The ash of the Taung beats strong within the Mandalorians' heart. We are the rage of The Warriors of the Shadow, The first noble sons of Mandalore. Let all those who stand before us light the night sky in flame. Our vengeance burns brighter still. The gauntlet of Mandalore strikes without mercy. We are the rage of The Warriors of the Shadow, The first noble sons of Mandalore. Let all those who stand before us light the night sky in flame. Our vengeance burns brighter still."  

"So your people are much like ours then warriors?" Dwalin asked

"Yes, we are in a way, but so many of my mother's people committed horrid acts under the last Mandalore before he was slain by my former Master's hand," she said as she began the story of the Mandalorian war.

Tallia's POV

I awoke to Fen's growling and Thorin getting on to his nephews who liked to scare Bilbo into an early grave "I dislike Orcs I truly do." I said, "They were once elves tortured and corrupted by the power of the dark side." 

Thorin looked at me in shock as Gandalf nodded "She speaks true, they were elves once." Gandalf confirmed.

Balin then took the time to explain what happened while I slept I could not believe what I heard " Brokar cuun skira." I said

"What does that mean?" Thorin asked

"To our Revenge," I replied smoothly

"I am starting to like Mando'a?" Dwalin asked

"Yes, you pronounced it correctly," I replied with a nod.

Thorin looked at Kili who was looking right at me, I looked at Kili who bashfully looked away. I went back to sleep knowing Fenirs was in his much larger and deadlier form.
