Thorin P/O/V:

Two elves throw me in a cell along with the others and I scowl staring blankly at the wall opposite me and Balin sighs "Did he offer you a deal?" I scowl "I told him to..." I yell again in Dwarvish. Balin gives me a disappointed look and I stand stalking to the door as yelling echoes down from above. Four elves appear dragging Elysian who has her hands bound is deathly pale. 

I stare after them watching them disappear further down in the dungeon. What happened to her? "Was that Elysian?" Fili's voice echoes around the space "What the hell did they do to her?" Kili asks. Balin glares at me "You need to talk to Thrandruil." I scowl at him "And do you truly believe he will listen?" he doesn't answer and I stare into the dark where Elysian disappeared. "Well we can't help her."

"Not stuck in here you can't." Bilbo appears out of no where "Bilbo?" he grins unlocking the door and handing me my sword "I could only find Elysian's weapons and your sword all the others are hidden somewhere." I grin clasping his shoulder "Thank you." he nods and starts unlocking the rest of the cells "Come on this way." he starts walking further down into the gloom the others look at me confused but I nod trusting the hobbit "Follow him."

Bilbo stops outside the last cell "Continue down to the wine cellar theirs barrels stacked up. Get inside and wait there." he starts searching on the ring of keys for the one that fits the lock and sighs in relief when the last one fits. I take the bundle of weapons of him "Go, I'll get her." he nods and I walk into the cell crouching next to Elysian checking her pulse she's alive but her pulse is very slow, she smiles "Whats the diagnosis doc?" I smile slightly "Elvish bastards." I stare at the chains around her wrists "There's no lock?" she chuckles "A blacksmith and a doctor what do you know." 

I sigh "How do I get these chains of?" she shifts slightly so she is lying on her back "Give me a second I'm trying to remember the translation for the runes." she starts mumbling under her breath tracing runes with her finger onto her stomach. "Your going to have to draw the counter rune." I nod slightly and she shifts pulling her shirt up to reveal her rune tattoos. The three on my left side all you need to do is carve them over the ones around the wrist with a knife." I chuckle slightly "Is that all?" she smiles "There's a dagger in my left boot "You weren't checked for weapons?" she shrugs "A minor mistake on their part." I take the dagger from her boot and start carving the runes into the metal which is surprisingly soft.

The sound of elves approaching echoes down through the dungeons and Elysian smiles "You may want to hurry up." I scowl at her but don't say anything finishing the last curve on the third rune. The runes on the chains glow and they seem to almost melt away. She sits up slowly "Thank you." I nod and hand her weapons "Can you stand?" she nods and pushes herself up using the wall. I walk to the door and she follows slowly "Don't wait for me, go." I start down the steps coming to a large cellar full of wine barrels. The others are all in barrels waiting. Bilbo smiles "Hurry." I nod and climb into the only empty barrel. Elysian walks over to a lever "Take a deep breath." she pulls the lever and the floor the barrels all roll of falling into a river below.
