The Last Mage (Thorin Oakensheild love story)

Chapter 6

All of the dwarves started to get their weapons together. Then we all started to head out into the forest to go save Bilbo. I was walking when Thorin stopped me. "What?!" I asked impatiently.

"It is too dangerous for a woman to go and confront a mountain troll." He replied.

"No it's not, plus their stupid beings. It won't be that hard to take them down."

"Stay here at camp, That's an order."

"But-"

"No", Thorin interrupted me, "You will not go, that's final."

"Fine" I responded my face heating up out of anger.

Then all the dwarves left to go save Bilbo and the ponies, from the mountain trolls, without me. I mean seriously I can take care of myself. I have for the past couple of years. I don't know what his problem is. it's just a couple of mountain trolls, they're just big, stupid creatures that like to eat anything and destroy and steal stuff that's not theirs. Not that hard, like seriously how can you even get caught by one. Their slow, we're fast and small. Not that hard to defeat a couple of trolls and not get hurt or caught.

After about ten to fifteen, twenty minutes, I couldn't stand it anymore. they were taking forever. It doesn't take that long to take down a couple of trolls and save Bilbo and the ponies. Especially with a company that large.

So I went out into the forest following their tracks that my elf eyes could see in the dark. Soon I heard the grunts of dwarves and some other people talking, and heavy footsteps. I went closer but silently to get a closer look at what was happening.

What I saw was definitely not what I was expecting. Half of the company was tied up in sacks and the other half was tied to a branch over a fire. Yeah, turns out they can't take down a couple of mountain trolls without getting captured. guess I was going to have to intervene.

I ran closer to the camp the trolls have set up and hide behind a tree. Then I heard Bilbo exclaim, "Wait!" You are making a mistake. Uh, I meant with the, uh, with the seasoning."

"What about the seasoning?" One of the trolls grunts.

"Well, have you smelt them? You're gonna need something stronger than sage before you plate this lot up." The dwarves started to yell in anger but I knew he was distracting them.

"What do you know about cooking dwarf?" One of them asked.

"Shut up, and let the flurgaurburrahobbit talk." Another one grunts.

"Uh, th-the secret is to cooking dwarf is umm..."

"Yes? Come on."

"Ye-yes I'm telling you, the secret is.... is to skin them first."

"Tom, fetch me the filleting knife." Wow, Bilbo. Is that best you could come up with, I guess I have to intervene sooner than I planned. Oh, well.

All the dwarves start throwing insults at Bilbo. When I peak to see what is going on. I see one of the trolls pick up Bomfur and dangle him over his mouth. That's when I shout to distract them. "Hey, you big stupid troll! Over here!!!"

The troll drops Bomfur back onto the ground and looks in my direction. Trying to find me, the other two trolls do the same thing. "Whose that?" One of them asks."

"I don't know but go and find 'em."

I start to move from tree to tree to keep them distracted till Gandalf comes. Then out of nowhere, the troll snaps me up and shows me to his companions.

"It's an 'irl" One of them said.

"Maybe we should just kill 'er." One of them suggested.

Thorin, Fili, and Kili all shouted out "NO!!"

I'm not dying today, I thought. I twisted as much as I could in his grip, and grabbed one of my daggers and sliced it through his hand.

He cried out a high pitched scream and dropped me. I tucked and rolled into a standing position. I turned around, then the other two trolls tried to grab at me but I dodged them all. I unsheathed my sword and put my dagger back in the sheath in my boot. Then I started slicing at their legs and running around so they wouldn't trample me.

Soon I was getting tired of all this running around and took a look at my surroundings. I started to run full speed at a tree and when I get just close enough I jump onto the side of it, then push off. I use the momentum to turn around. I raise my sword above my head and land on one of the troll's backs and put my sword through his head. He wobbles a bit then starts to fall forward. I pull my sword out with a swift motion and jump off of his back before he makes contact with the ground.

I land in a crouch with one hand on the ground to balance me, and the other is behind my back, clutching the sword. I slowly stand up and look at the rest of the trolls with a dangerous glint in my eye. then I smirk and say, "So, Who's next?" Then I swing my sword around in my hand and take a step forward.

The other two trolls look at me in bewilderment, with a hint of fear and disbelief. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I see Gandalf run through the bushes and my smirk grows wider.

Then I turn slightly, in time to see Gandalf step onto a rock and shouts, " The dawn will take you all!"

He slammed down his staff onto the rock, splitting it in half so that the sun could shine through. The trolls scream in pain as they turn to stone.
