The Unknown Child {Hobbit Fanfic}

Ulo, Anar, Ye Olog-Hai Á Nya! (Rain, Sun, and Trolls Oh My!) Part 1

Hey guys, I'm back! (For a short amount of time 😞)
soon I'll be leaving for more testing. But, Happy -early- 4th of July!

Recap-
"And the Pale Orc? What happened to him?" Bilbo asked.
"He slunk back into the hole whence he came. That filth died of his wounds long ago."
I noticed Balin look to Gandalf, who then looked to me. 'Mom was right, he'd be back.'
Sighing, I sat down by Gandalf and laid my mat down to sleep. I trusted him, the others I had yet to trust.
As I was getting ready to lay down, I heard faint growling. Looking towards the sound... Wargs. On the other cliff.
'Great. We're being followed.'
I'd warn Gandalf when everyone was asleep.

The next morning started out fine. It was grey over-head, quiet, not too warm but not too cold, either.
However once we were all packed and on the road did things change. It began to rain. A light rain, then it began to downpour with thunder, of course. I put my hood up hoping to not get sick.

Dori called out "Here, Mr.Gandalf, can't you do something about this deluge?"
"It is raining, Master Dwarf and it will continue to rain until the rain is done. If you wish to change the weather of the world, you should find yourself another Wizard, or simply ask Theia." Gandalf replied.
"Are there any?" Bilbo asked.
"What?" Gandalf questioned, confused.
"Other Wizards."
"There are five of us. The greatest of our order is Saruman the White. Then there are the two Blue Wizards. Do you know, I've quite forgotten their names." Gandalf explained to Bilbo.
"And who is the fifth?" The Hobbit asked.
"Well, that would be Radagast the Brown."
"Is he a great Wizard? Or is he more like you?"
"Bilbo! That was rude." I scolded.
"I think he's a very great Wizard, in his own way. He's a gentle soul who prefers the company of animals to others. He keeps a watchful eye over the vast forest lands to the East. And a good thing, too. For always evil will look to find a foothold in this world." Gandalf explained once more.

"Now, Theia. How about a little sun, hm?" The wizard asked me.
I nodded, "sun, coming right up."
Closing my eyes, I steered my horse, Nyx with my knees and raised my hands to the sky. I willed the clouds to move, to part from our path giving sunlight.
"Eh-hey! Sun-light lads!" Gloin yelled.
"Great job, Theia."
"Thank you, Gandalf."
Thorin looked in my direction and sent a thankful look.
I smiled, I'd be useful and knowing that was nice.

Within the hour we entered a field that held an abandoned farmhouse. Thorin announced that we would camp their for the night.
"A farmer and his family use to live here..." Gandalf and I both were against the idea of staying the night in this place. It held a bad aura.

"Fili, Kili, look after the ponies. Make sure you stay with them."
"Oin, Gloin. Get a fire going."
"Aye. Right you are." Was Oin's response.
"I think it would be wiser to move on." Gandalf shouted.
"I agree with Gandalf, Thorin. This place...does not feel right."
"We could make for the Hidden Valley." Gandalf tried to reason.
"I have told you already...I will not go near that place."
"Why not? The Elves could help us. We could get food, rest, advice."
'Not to mention you could see your One again...Adad.' I thought
"I do not need their advice."
"We have a map that we cannot read. Lord Elrond could help us." Gandalf argued back.
"Help? A dragon attacks Erebor. What help came from the Elves?" Thorin spoke. "Orcs plunder Moria, desecrate our sacred halls. The Elves looked on and did nothing. You ask me to seek out the very people who betrayed my grandfather who betrayed my father." Thorin said, determined.
"You are neither of them. I did not give you that map and key for you to hold onto the past." Gandalf stated.
"I didn't know that they were yours to keep!" Thorin yelled back.
