Erudite's POV

Its been two weeks since I arrived in Rivendell. But today was just kinda weird to me. 'Was I sick, nope' well what was it. I don't feel ill and I wasn't nervous. But I just shook it off, and went to find one of my friends. As I turned a corner I could here voices. But who's, so you jumped behind a pillar and hid.

"Child you can't tell her were her father is, it is his job to come here in six months to get her."

"But Elrond she's my friend, best friend at that. I can't keep not telling her, her fathers alive and in Erebor. I-I just can't." I heard Lindell say.

"No your not end of story." I couldn't just stand here. You wanted to know who they were talking about, even tho you kinda had an idea. So with that I got the courage and walked out from being the pillar

"Who are you talking about?" I asked shyly. They both jumped at the sound of my voice, but didn't say a word they just looked at each other. "WHO WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" I yelled

"You" Lindell said. Probably not caring if Elrond was mad at her. "What about him? You guys said he was dead!" No one said anything. "Why, why would you say that" I asked now starting to cry.

"It wasn't for us to tell you, but we thought he was until he sent another letter asking if we've seen you." Elrond spoke breaking the silence.

"When did he send the letter?"

"The day my boys saved you from the orcs." No one said anything, no one dared to look at each other. But then I had to ask, I had to understand. "W-why did you lie?" I whispered.

"What was that dear?" Elrond asked.

"Why did you lie?" I said looking in his eyes.

"We didn't want to but we thought it was best for you. Your safer here, he will be here in six months to get you and take you back to Erebor with him." He spoke. 

"Why not now?" I asked 

"He has stuff he needs to do, young one."

"OK fine I guess I'll wait" I said with a smile. With that I left back to my room. As soon as I got there I started to pack. I grabbed shirts, pants, blankets, food, and night dresses. But then I thought, oh yeah can't for get this. I ran to the closet and grabbed out my moms old dress. I always loved it, it was a royal blue floor length dress with shiny gems around the top and bottom. "Not to fancy, that's why I love it" I said with a smile you put it in my bag. 

Then got dressed. I put on my gray corset that has a hood attached to it over your white shirt, pulled my gray pants on, put my knee high boot on then laced them up. Lastly my mothers cloak on. I ran over to the mirror "perfect" I said softly, then heard a soft knock on the door.

"Come in!" I said putting your bag on. The door opened to show Lindell.

"Your leaving aren't you?" she ask while closing the door.

"Yes, please don't try to stop me I must find him. I need to know why he left. He's all I have left!" I said tearing up. I thought she was gonna yell, run and tell someone I was leaving but she didn't. She pulled me into a hug.

"I'm not going to. You need to do this. That's why you need these." she said pulling out a bag.

"What are they?" I asked taking the bag. 

"Look you'll like them" with that I put it on the bed, and opened it. I saw a beautiful white bow with a design on it with arrows to match, two throwing knifes, and a white belt for my sword to go in. I turned to her and hugged her tightly. "I LOVE THEM!" we pulled apart and I put them on.

"Also this" she said handing you a map. "A map to Erebor, if you don't stop you can get there in three days. Walk during the day and run at night, that's the easy way to do it." she said.

"Thank you" I said with a smile. She walked you too my horse. Lindell helped me saddle him. Then we said goodbye and I was on my way, following the map.

-----------------------------------------

Its been about four days into my travel. I stopped here and there when me or my horse needed a break. Didn't run into anything to big, or well little. But I did stop one time to watch to men travel with what I counted about four guards.

"Ha royal people thought so, I must be getting close. I hope!" I said to myself. Just as I was about to get up I spotted a, well handsome man. He had blonde hair with braids in it, and when he turned his head I saw his mustache braids. I smiled to myself because well I never really felt like this before. He just looked to cute.

"No no Erudite no you can't do this, gotta find your dad." I whispered to myself. After they passed I got back on my horse. I rode for what seemed liked hours but came over a hill to see a beautiful city, that people were fixing up.

"What time is it?" I asked myself "Must be around 11 in the afternoon, suns almost at its highest point. What is this place?" I asked again. I pulled out my map and looked.

My eyes widened as I spoke."Dale, that's Dale and well" I stopped and petted my horse "Were here Randsome, were here" I said to him.
