Kaya's p.o.v.:
The next morning we set out again towards the Lonely Mountain. Once there we approach the gates, stoping in shock and fear seeing the destruction caused by Smaug as he smashed through the front gate. We look to each other, then run into the halls of Erebor.
"Hello! Bombur? Bifur? Anybody?" Bofur shouts and his voice echos in the halls
We clambered through the halls, looking for the others. As we run down a staircase, we hear a voice shouting "WAIT! WAIT!"
we turn and see its Bilbo running up toward us from another part of the city.
"It's Bilbo! He's alive!" Oin shouts
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Bilbo shouts as we came closer in a corridor. "You need to leave. We all need to leave." Bilbo tells us
"We only just got here?!" Bofur tells him confused
"Yeah, what on earth is going on?" I asked
"I have tried talking to him, but he won't listen." Bilbo continued
"What do you mean, laddie?"
"THORIN. Thorin. He's been out there for days. He doesn't sleep. He barely eats. He's not been himself - not at all. It's this - It's this place. I think a sickness lies on it." Bilbo tells us
"Sickness? What kind of sickness?" Kili asked
"Please tells us what's going on Bilbo."
Fili walks past the group and starts heading further down into Erebor, looking at something. Bilbo and the others run after him, trying to stop him. "Fili. Fili. Fili!"
As we continue heading down, a golden light begins to be visible on the walls. my eyes widening as we round a corner, and see the sight of Smaug's treasure, heaped so high over the floor of the cavern that the ground is barely visible. In the center of it stood Throin dressed in ornate robes and covered in jewelry, striding slowly out of a doorway. Thorin begins speaking softly, apparently to himself. He looks strange towards us something gleaming in his eyes, "Behold - the great treasure hoard of Thror." He suddenly flings something high into the air to us at the stairwell luckily Fili catches it. It is a giant
"Welcome, my sister's sons, to the kingdom of EREBOR," Thorin tells the brothers
Later on, Thorin has the dwarves comb through the piles of treasure, searching for the Arkenstone. Thorin has Bilbo and I stand watching them.
"Any sign of it?!" Thorin shouts to them
"Nothing yet."
"Nothing here."
"Keep searching!"
"That jewel could be anywhere!"
"The Arkenstone is in these halls - find it!"
"You heard him - Keep looking!"
"All of you - No one rests until it is found"
I see Bilbo leave the room. Then soon I slip away my self to find some peace, Still puzzled by Thorins actions so far and the gleam I saw in his eye.
Later on, Thorin callled Balin, Dwalin, Bilbo, and myself into the throne room. Thorin gazes upon the throne, over the spot which the Arkenstone had been before it was lost. He turns and speaks to us "It is here in these halls - I know it."
"We have searched and searched..."
"Not well enough!"
"Thorin, we all would see the stone returned." Dwalin tells him
"And yet, it is still not FOUND!" Thorin shouts at him
"Do you doubt the loyalty of anyone here?" Blain asks him
Thorin turns and slowly walks toward Balin and Dwalin.
"The Arkenstone is the birthright of our people."
"It is the King's Jewel." He begins shouting. "AM I NOT THE KING?!" As Thorin turns away, I see an uneasy look on Balin, Dwalin, and Bilbo faces. "Know this - If anyone should find it and withhold it from me, I will be avenged." Thorin walks away
After what happened, I walk around Erebor soon finding Bilbo sitting on a bench in a hall holding a stone. As I walk closer I noticed its familiar.
"Hey, Bilbo what you got there?" I asked innocently walking up to him
He jumps hiding his hands behind him "Oh, Kaya nothing it's nothing."
"That's the Arkenstone, wasn't it? The stone Thorin is looking for." I raised a brow
"What no I have absolutely no idea what you mean."
"Don't play dumb with me, Bilbo Baggins. Do you have any idea what Thorin will do to you if he finds out?"
"If I find out What?!" Thorin asks from behind me "What is in your hands?!" He asks Bilbo who still had his hands behind his back
"It-It's nothing," Bilbo says nervously
"Show me."
"It's..." Bilbo holds out his hand, and in it is not the stone but an acorn. "I picked it up in Beorn's garden."
Thorin raised a brow "You've carried it all this way."
"I'm gonna plant it in my garden, in Bag End.
Thorin anger fades and is replaces with a smile "That's a poor price to take back to the Shire.
"One day it'll grow. And every time I look at it, I'll remember - Remember everything that happened, the good, the bad. And how lucky I am that I made it home." Bilbo said returning a smile "Thorin, I..."
Bilbo starts but Suddenly, Dwalin comes up and interrupts.
"Thorin, survivors...from Laketown. They are streaming into Dale. There are hundreds of them."
"Call everyone to the gate," Thorin tells him walking off, shouting. "TO THE GATE! NOW!"
