Middle Earth,

Lothlorien

"Why have you summoned me, Lady Galadriel?" asked Gandalf.  "Thorin and his nephews are alive. They are living with Nadina and her friend in Ireland." said Galadriel. Gandalf's eyes widened. "How do you know of this?" said the wizard. "I seen the visions in my mirror. They are involved in a matter that does not concern them, it involves with the faerie folk of Nadina's world." said Galadriel. "What Fae folk?" asked Gandalf. "Lord Oberon." replied Galadriel.  Gandalf didn't like the sound of this.  He had heard of Lord Oberon, and Gandalf didn't like the thought of Nadina and Thorin's involvement with the folk, because they are distrustful, and they could take advantage of them. "Its the Leprechauns who are taking advantage of Thorin and Nadina, not the Faes." said Galadriel. Gandalf stood in deep thought. "Then, I will go there, but I won't be going alone." said Gandalf. "And whom are you going to take with you?" asked Galadriel. "One of them I will bring with me is Bilbo, and as for the others, I'm going to pay a visit to Erebor." said Gandalf, and he left.   Three days later, Gandalf decided to visit Erebor before leaving to the Shire.  Dwalin, who stood as Royal Guard, greets the wizard.

"Gandalf, what brings you over this way? Its been a while old friend!" smiled the bald dwarf, now showing silver in his brown hair and beard.  "I came here on an urgent matter I wish to discuss with you, and King Dain.  Is Balin here too?" asked Gandalf.  At the mention of Balin's name, Dwalin shook his head no sadly. "Balin, Oin, Ori and several other dwarves went on an architech expendition to Khazad-dum, Gandalf.  They departed just this past year.  None of us had heard from my brother and his company since then." said Dwalin sadly. "I see, but may I speak with your King?" asked Gandalf. Dwalin nodded, and they entered the Mountain.  Gandalf held a small meeting with Dain, Dwalin and the other dwarves, even some of the original members of Thorin's Company are there.  When Gandalf told them the news Galadriel explained to the wizard, the dwarves eyes widened in shock  and surprise. "They're alive?!" cried out Dwalin and Dain together. "They are, but in another world, in Nadina's world, but they seem to run into a little trouble, and that's why I came. I'm afraid they need help on a situation, allow me to explain." said Gandalf, and the wizard explained.

"I thought we made peace with the elves!" said Dain. "Dain, these are not like the elves here. In fact, the elves there aren't the problem, its the Leprechaun folk whom Nadina and Thorin are having problems with." said Gandalf. "Leprechauns? Never heard of em'!" said Gloin, crossing his arms. "Well they are little folk, much smaller than hobbits, and they are magical, and they have a love for things gold. They are also known shoemakers, good in crafting weapons and musical instruments. They tend to live a very happy life conflict free, until the latest situation that is going on now.  And I need a few people to join me to go there, to prevent the situation from getting worse." said Gandalf. "I really don't know, Gandalf.  Are you sure this is really necessary? Thorin is capable of handling himself and Nadina." said Dwalin. "Not this time, I'm afraid." said Gandalf. "When do you think we should leave?" asked Dwalin. "In two days. Also we will make our way to the Shire, because I will be bringing Bilbo with us as well." said Gandalf.

Ireland

Angelina had been busy teaching students, as well as Fili and Kili continuing their duties there at the school as well.  As for Thorin, Thorin had been standing outside the school, keeping eyes on any suspicous beings to step out and start a war. Suddenly, Thorin saw a red haired woman approaching the school. And he recognized her as Arianna, daughter of Oberon. "Shit." grumbled Thorin.  Arianna approached Thorin. "Is Kili here?" asked Arianna. "No, he is not here. He has went into town." said Thorin icily. "Thorin, your nephew is here. I still see the metal carriage parked in the driveway!" said Arianna. "Arianna,  I don't want you near my nephew anymore. Not until this conflict is done." said Thorin. "Thorin--I'm sorry I got you and Kili involved in this, but it will end soon, I promise! I reallyl ike your nephew, and my father does too. My father believes Kili would be a much better match for me than King Jerald's younger son, Caleb. Please, don't send me away. All I want is to see Kili." said Arianna.  Thorin sighed. "Very well. But your visits with my nephew must remain in secret. Do you understand? He will not go to you, you will have to come to him." said Thorin. "Agreed." said Arianna. "And another thing, disguise yourself so you won't reveal who you are, in case those pesky little shits show up at my school." said Thorin. "Got it! Thank you, Master Thorin!" chirped Arianna, and she hugged the dwarf, and ran inside the school.
