Ithilwen was walking down the street her hood up as her ice blue eyes scaned the crowd for any dangers."Stop thief!" someone yelled. Turning she saw a shady man running towards her. She began to step out of his way when she was grabbed. The man turned themselves around, putting a knife to her neck. "If you don't want this girly to die I suggest you stop chasing me." he warned. Spectators screamed and backed away from the the two.
A black haired dwarf was one of the spectators, he was about to go rescue the girl when his brother grabbed him by the shoulder. "Remember what mother told you." scolding him. "But-" he looked back at the scene only to see the woman elbow the perp and swing him over her shoulder. They all stood there amazed at how strong she was.
The stall/ store owner thanked her and walked away shortly after the guards came and took him to a cell. After they had gone the spectators went on there daily routines and the girl left, except the two dwarves followed her. They continued to follow her into a less crowded street and when she turned the corner, she ran.
The two chased after her but when they came to an street she disappeared. They wondered where she'd gone until they felt knives at there necks. "I didn't think he would employ dwarves." her tone cold. "W-where not employed." the blonde answered. "I've heard that before."
"We swear!" his black haired brother pleaded, backing him up. She thought for a minute then removed her knives. Sighing in relief they turned towards her.
Suddenly the younger dwarf grabbed her hand and started dragging her to where ever they were taking her. Gripping it, she was contemplating whether she should throw him or not but she thought otherwise. She sighed and let herself be dragged by the dwarf. After a couple of minutes being dragged she came to a house, Fili opened the door as Kili dragged her in.
"Mom were back and we brought a guest!" he yelled. Pulling her hand back she looked around the home. "Oh, and who is this?" a woman asked walking into the room. Ithilwen turned and was surprised when she saw Thorin Oakensheilds sister, Dis. She the ellith bowed, "My name is Erayas." introducing her alias name. The dwarf looked to her a smile on her face "Dis, a pleasure to meet you." she smiled walking forward and lifting her hood up. The ellith quickly held her hood down. Dis was surprised a little, though thought nothing of it.
"Well then would you like to stay for dinner Erayas?" she asked. At this the woman stood straight up, and if it weren't for her holding her hood, her secret would be revealed. "Oh no it is quite alright." the hooded ellith answered waving her hands. Fili sat on the coach with his brother. There mothers gaze turned from there guest to her sons," And did you two introduce yourselves to our guest before you dragged her here?" she glared.
The two gulped and turned away. There mother then went onto a rant to where Ithilwen had laughed at.

The mirkwood princess was fast asleep on the coach, when she felt someone gently nudge her. She sprang up, brandishing her knife, ready for a fight only to see that it was her host. "*sigh* Forgive me, it's a habit." she explained hiding her knife again. Dis smiled, "Oh it's no problem Princess." "But I almost killed y-" she paused. "What did you call me." eyes wide she looked to Dis her face placid as her eyes turned into a glare.
"I wouldn't forget the face of Ithilwen daughter of Thranduil." she said. At this the elliths hand immediately went to her head. Seeing her hood was off, she quickly pulled it back on. The dwarf princess chuckled at this but soon she became serious.
"What my grandfather did was horrible, I know this isn't much but here." she explained taking Ithilwens hand and placing something inside it. She closed it, while the princess stared down.
Opening her hand, out fell a bright glowing gem. She gently picked it up, and gasped as a tear came to her eyes. She clutched the gem close to her. "I managed to get a handful of them before I was driven out of my home." she explained. The elven princess kneeled down and hugged the dwarf princess. "Thank you."
Dis was surprised, but none the less hugged back. "But why didn't you use this to make a better living for you and Thorin?" she asked pulling back. "Because these rightfully belong to you." she said handing the rest to her in a small poach. (Top) "What do you want in return?" the runaway daughter asked taking it. "Nothing." she said. "There must be something." she reasoned. "How about this, since your so set on repaying me, I will let you know when something comes along." she smiled
Ithilwen nodded at this and smiLED. She laid back on the couch and turned around, down going to sleep. The dwarf princess smiled and went back to bed.
The elven princess stayed in the town mostly to help Dis. She also helped with the crooks and what she got as a reward for catching the perps, she would give to Dis as payment. If she got money she gave half of it to Dis. When she was over she would train with the two brothers though they didn't know her secret.
One time Thorin saw her training with the two. "Dis who is that?" he asked. "Oh her, that is Erayas. She's been helping the boys train and since I helped her with something. She came over to give half the money she got as a reward for catching a crook to me." she explained hanging the laundry.
Her brother turned back to the three, liking what he was seeing. She deflected so quickly, it surprised him. 'Her skills would be very useful, if we made her a member in the company.'
"Erayas was it?" Thorin yelled. His call made Fili look to his uncle this gave Ithilwen a chance to trip him. With her leg she made him fall down, putting her sword to his neck. "Ugh, that was a dirty trick." he complained. "You would have done the same to me and don't try to deny it." she retorted, sheathing her sword.
Sighing he chuckled. She smiled as she helped him get up. She went to the dwarf prince with her two friends in tow. "Yes, you have my name correct though I don't think we have met." she said faking suspicion. "Thorin Oakenshield." he answered holding his hand out. She took his hand and shook it. Separating they looked at each other. "How would you like to join me in my quest for Erebor?"
