He was furious and rightly so, Thranduil stormed down the halls to the dungeons where his two children and Tauriel were in the midst of a rather strange encounter with a bunch of Dwarves they'd found slinking around the forest.

Many jumped out of his path and he knew when he was within ear and eye sight of the two groups of a mix of Khuzdul and Sindarin being shouted back and forth with insults flying between all as was the normality when both Dwarves and Elves were within the same vicinity of each other.

And his poor lellig was unconscious in the arms of her brother, blissfully unaware of what was going on it was this scene Thranduil came upon "DINA" he commanded and both elves and dwarves silenced themselves.

It was then he spotted the other unconscious being in the halls that led to the cells "Mani marte Legolas?" Thranduil turned his cold blue eyes onto his eldest wanting an explanation as to what was going on and why.

The blonde elven prince shook his head looking quite lost and confused "I'll tell you what happened she looked at my nephew and they both passed out, some kind of spell she's cast the witch" Thorn stepped forward glowering at the knocked out girl.

Legolas returned the glare with one of his own "Auta miqula orqu" he spat viciously not liking that his little sister had been insulted especially when she'd done nothing but pass out for no reason at all after glancing into the eyes of the blonde dwarrow.

"Muindor" Evangeline's familiar voice floated up to him in a warning tone, a soft groan filled the air signaling that the young dwarf was also waking, their eyes met once again deep blue and amethyst clashed and this time a spark went off in her heart.

Thranduil pressed his lips together "Get them in the cells except for the young one and you Oakenshield" he ordered knowing that something was going on, for what other reason would his daughter faint as she had.

There had to be a logical explanation and he was certain Evangeline knew what that reason one as her gaze held understanding, resignation and sadness, he didn't like that look one little bit and he was most certain that if he threw the blonde dwarrow into the cells.

He would have a very angry Maiar/She-elf on his hands and that was one thing Thranduil disliked the most to upset his child, though Evangeline was not born of his blood, the girl was as good as any and had fit well in his life with his son and all in Mirkwood.

Not sure what was going on or why he was being allowed out of the cells like the rest of the company Fili followed along after his uncle and sent a reassuring look to his younger brother "What do you think is going to happen" he was worried and with good reason.

Thorin shook his head "Keep your guard up anything could happen with this elf" he said the last word with such derision that it drew the gaze of the young elleth, she looked deeply saddened by his uncle's harsh words that Fili couldn't help but shake his head.

Unsure of what was going on or why his heart felt as if it was being squeezed by an invisible hand, when he'd first locked gazes with those amethyst colored irises, Fili had felt a fire fill him and a spark lit up in his soul.

Ahead of them Evangeline sighed her ears picking up on the swift conversation between the two dwarves, why did they hate her and why did her brother and father hate them, they'd always told her that she was to love all didn't that include other races in Middle-Earth.

Never had she seen such animosity come from her brother and even her father looked rather furious, her shoulders slumped in defeat how was she to complete her task, now that she knew what it was she had been sent here for.

If the three she'd been sent to save hated her entire being, why couldn't she have been made a dwarf at least that way she'd be given some semblance of a chance to prove her worth, her mind was made up of depressive thoughts during the entire walk to the throne room.

When there Evangeline was ushered up to her throne and Legolas sat on his own "Tell me what were you doing in the forest" Thranduil hadn't yet taken his place on the gnarled wooden throne woven with vines and white flowers that she had grown.

"Trying to get out of it" Thorin spat, his cold blue eyes going to the she-elf that sat looking down on them with a sad look in those amethyst eyes of hers, he lifted his lip in a silent sneer but she didn't so much as blink.

Legolas furrowed his brow, what the devil was going on "Ada" he called and nodded his head at their distracted Gil A' Are when Thranduil glanced in his direction, his voice didn't even register as Evangeline continued to be lost in thought.

Now he was even more worried "Who gave you leave to be on the path through Mirkwood anyway" Thranduil snapped wanting to get this conversation over with so that he could have his precious daughter looked over by an experience healer.

Thorin was quiet and Fili looked between the elven king and his uncle, he went to speak but a hand tightening around his wrist kept him from talking "I don't believe that's any of you're business you miserable elf" again with the derision.

And a gasp worked it's way from the she-elf's lips "Don't insult my Father" Evangeline jumped up amethyst eyes flashing with thinly veiled anger, the fire in which she'd inherited from Arien burning her from the inside, her crystal glowing with her out of control emotions.

Both dwarves standing on the platform took a large step back feeling the power exuding from the young princess of Mirkwood it was much like Gandalf's, even Thranduil looked mildly surprised as he'd never seen his adopted daughter lose control over her emotions.

It was like all the air in the room was being sucked out and it was quickly becoming harder to breathe "Muinthel" Legolas drew her attention away and she quickly calmed, looking horribly guilty as she sat back in her chair looking as miserable as she ever had.

There were images now flashing through her mind of all the dreams she'd had since the beginning of her one hundred and fifteenth birthday, of all three dwarves being felled on the battlefield by those ugly creatures she could only assume were orcs as she'd never seen them in person before.

Only given a description by Mithrandir, as if the thought summoned him, Hisime her precious raven flew through the open window and landed on her shoulders and the wizards familiar voice whispered in her ears.

And she knew then "Mithrandir, you were sent on the path by Mithrandir" Evangeline jumped up and flew down the steps of her own throne to reach her father's side, eyes bright and Hisime still attached to her shoulder.

The two dwarves were shocked to see a raven perched to the elven princess's shoulder covered in a dark purple tunic "A witch if I've ever seen one" Thorin repeated and got a glower one the likes of which he'd never been given.

Her glare was scorching and Thorin took a deep breath and another much larger step back, bringing Fili along with him "How do you know Gandalf's the one who sent us" the young dwarrow asked unable to stay quiet.

Even the elven king turned to face the elleth "Yes how do you know henig" Thorin was shocked to see Thranduil's gaze soften if only by a fraction as he looked upon the ravenette, who still had a raven settled on her person.

"Mithrandir is random and if someone was to ever do this it would be him, you know I have quite missed him and Hisime speaks of his tales sometimes, and Mithrandir was last seen in the company of thirteen dwarves Ada" Evangeline chattered her arms flying about her person.

In wild exaggerated movements, Thranduil sighed he knew he should have never let that old wizard tell his daughter of the other races, then she would never be as interested as she currently was and he knew if he threw these dwarves into the dungeon unjustly.

She would be most cross with him and though it was going to pain him greatly "Legolas have some of the servants settle the dwarves into a few rooms, make sure they are given plenty food and water and clothing" he struggled through the order.

And knowing it wasn't wise to disobey Legolas vanished down the steps and Evangeline gave her father a wide pleased smile and that was all that he needed to know she was happy "So the great Thranduil has gone soft in his years" but Thorin didn't know when to let matters rest.

Evangeline whipped around before her father could and took one short stride to reach the dwarf "I suggest Master Dwarf that you be polite" she huffed towering over him by a mere inch and it was that which drew attention to her own rather short height.

Fili blinked "You seem rather invested into making us comfortable here My Lady" he at the least could try to salvage the situation in which his uncle wasn't the slightest bit interested in doing considering they weren't going to be thrown in the dungeons and the others were being released.

The princess turned and faced the golden haired dwarrow with the same blue eyes that had glowered at her repeatedly during this entire alteration, her amethyst orbs met his and Thranduil knew something was going on.

Especially when the two stared at each other one word appeared in his mind "Evangeline" Thranduil called feeling as if his daughter had just been ripped away from him, it might as well have been the case.

Even if his Gil A' Are didn't quite understand the connection the young dwarf prince was beginning to suspect and Thorin was spitefully unaware as to what was going on, Fili had found His One in the elven king's adopted daughter.

Who'd been sent to him by the Valar and blessed by the Maiar line of Arien, it was an unfair situation "Nato?" her voice drifted over to him in a question forcing herself to look away from the dwarrow before her.

"Why did you faint" Thranduil thought it was as good a time as any to find out what had exactly happened before he had arrived to settle down the situation, initially he'd just been intending on waiting for them to arrive in the throne room to speak with the Dwarf King.

She sucked in a breath and fully turned to face him "Their the ones I've been…" Evangeline trailed off nervously feeling cold inside as if ice was freezing her blood an encouraging nod "Dreaming about the dreams Lady Galadriel said were from my gift of sight" she finished.

Once more holding her breath it was so silent one could hear a pin drop and she felt more than saw the glare being directed at her by the obviously older dwarf "You've never really specified lellig what do you see when you dream about them" Thranduil inquired.

Dread filling his entire being "Him it's always him first" Evangeline whirled to the golden haired dwarrow "He's always screaming run to who I know not before being impaled by a pale orc and falling from a great height" she said.

"Then a brunette with brown eyes, I don't know his name and another orc and Tauriel" by this point neither dwarves or her own father was making sense of what she was saying "Dying over and over again" Evangeline wailed.

Unable to contain her sadness her only wish was to stop the images that had played over and over in her dreams from the time of her one hundred and fifteenth birthday "And him last the pale orc again a frozen river" Evangeline frowned.

Thranduil mimicked the action "I think we should all get some rest and speak tomorrow" he called and ordered a servant to take the two dwarves to wherever the others were staying grabbed hold of Evangeline's shoulders and directed her down the long flights of stairs to the royal wing.

And sent her firmly to bed leaving no room for any arguments, she looked so tired after finally revealing the nightmares she had grown accustomed to since over a year ago, Evangeline went to sleep that night reliving those dreams still yet for she hadn't saved them.

When Thranduil was halfway down the hall he frowned in confusion for he remembered Evangeline saying Tauriel's name, the she-elf was to fade why it didn't make any sense, he shook his head and went to bed himself, hopefully tomorrow he would find out more to the nonsense.

Fili and Thorin were escorted to where all the others were minus Bilbo "What now I really thought we were going to be stuck in those dungeons for a lot longer" Balin, his advisor was quick to stand at his side and Thorin scowled in confusion.

"Did he offer you a deal" Dwalin didn't like this situation one little bit despite getting warm food and water and clothes and actual beds to sleep in, the Elves suddenly playing nice was extremely suspicious to him.

Thorin's scowl became deeper yet "No it seems that the great Thranduil has grown soft the she-elf that fainted is close to his heart and she was the one who insisted we have better accommodations" he sneered, not wanting any pity from the elves.

"Nadad why were you also ordered to go there as well" Kili appeared promptly out of no where and attached himself to his older brother like a young dwarfling, he'd been quite worried that the elves would do something to his family.

Neither dwarf were quite sure how to explain as it finally clicked in Fili's mind that the other dwarf the elf female had been talking about was his brother and that all three of them were to be slain by pale orcs, which could only mean Azog and Bolg would be successful in wiping out the line of Durin in the future however far it may be.

"It could be a trap" Gloin said suddenly it was something they would all have to be prepared for if the Elves turned on them "We'll see how things go, did they say anything about tomorrow" he looked to Thorin.

Who nodded "Yes for now to rest, he didn't want to stress out the she-elf" Thorin grumbled eyes flickering around the room it was quite extravagant "Everyone get some sleep" he ordered feeling tired all the way to his very soul.

The dwarves were quick to settle down and claim a bed to get some sleep and before any of them knew it morning was once again upon them "Wake up you lot, King Thranduil has ordered you to dine with him in the breakfast hall" a guard standing outside their room pounded on the door.

All of them were quick to wake up at the mention of food and that they weren't being forced to stay within the rooms they'd been given, though wary and with Thorin in the lead, the thirteen dwarves were led down to the massive hall where breakfast was being served.

Evangeline who hadn't got much rest thanks to those wonderful or horrible prophetic dreams perked up upon seeing the golden haired dwarrow "Lellig help them find a seat" her father said suddenly though if not a bit grumpily.

She giggled at him and Legolas rolled his eyes, the air was tense and hostility was rising but no confrontations had happened yet, Evangeline jumped from her own chair and went less than halfway down the table, pulling out chairs.

A foot stool was placed down "Here you go" she smiled brightly confusing many of the dwarves including Thorin "All settled" Evangeline asked and the dwarves nodded their heads in a daze, she flounced back to her own chair and sat down to eat.

Her lips tugged downwards in a frown "Ada where is Tauriel" she noticed the absence of the fiery red-headed she-elf and her stomach rolled uncomfortably, why hadn't she sensed the she-elf was not in the breakfast hall.

Thranduil looked shocked and glanced to Legolas "Training room she said something about brushing up on her skills and that she apologizes in advance Muinthel" the blonde prince directed his gaze to his little sister.

Glad that nothing had happened Evangeline relaxed back in her chair and lifted her fork to her lips ready to dig in to the food "You have a training room" a gruff voice sounded from halfway down the table and all eyes turned to the tattooed dwarf.

Balin was surprised at his brother "We do" the young princess nodded looking to the King, who looked as if he wanted to be anywhere but there "We have several in fact if you'd like to get in a good workout" she smiled so easily.

"Yes Legolas will take them down later" Thranduil was quick to interject for he knew where that particular conversation was heading, Evangeline threw him a pout and he shook his head 'Not this time henig, not this time' he thought inwardly.

Evangeline sighed and accepted that she wasn't going to get to see how dwarves fought on that day at least "That'll do lassie" Dwalin nodded gruffly in thanks keeping an eye on the young female elf the only one that seemed young anyway and watching her every move.

Legolas nodded not having the heart to upset his sister even if he didn't really want to deal with any of the dwarves "Good now everyone eat your fill" Thranduil suggested and all became much to preoccupied to talk as they stuffed their faces.

Once breakfast was finished Thranduil stood "Oakenshield and the young one from yesterday and the other" the blonde king looked to his daughter and she gestured to the brunette "And have Tauriel come up from the training room, we need to have a talk" and then the king was gone.

His daughter would find him easily, he just needed a few minutes to brace himself for the talk, Evangeline turned on her heel "Come along" she flashed a smile to the three dwarves that followed after her "We have quite a ways to go" she sighed.

Kili frowned "Why am I here again, I thought I was going to get to practice with the others" he sulked but Fili didn't say anything except grab his wrist and drag him along behind their uncle who was walking a fast pace to keep up with the elven princess.

The she-elf couldn't be anything other than royalty since they both knew that only family was allowed to sit together like the three elf's had but the female didn't even look like the two blondes and it made them all wonder.

Suddenly Evangeline came to a screeching halt outside two wooden doors, Thorin nearly crashed into the young elf not that he knew she was only but one sixteenth elf and glared at the ravenette as Fili and Kili skidded to a stop behind them.

Evangeline peeked her head into the room "Tauriel, Ada wants to speak with you" she called out to the back of the red haired captain, the she-elf whipped around a frown crossing her delicate features as she spotted who else was with her princess.

It was quiet for a moment "Tulien Aranel" Tauriel finally relented and wiped her brow and sheathed her sword, in a matter of seconds the five of them were heading back up to where Thranduil held meetings and he was within the smallest.

"You all made it, we have many things to speak about" Thranduil was sat hands clasped in front of him looking as sour as ever, he wanted the dwarves out of his kingdom and far away but he knew also it would hurt Evangeline for Fili was the other half of her soul.

Tauriel was the first to sit followed by the dwarves and finally Evangeline "If I may ask what is going on" Thorin was the first to break the silence, he spoke in a tone that implied someone better start explaining things or he was going to get very angry.

Fili and Kili shared a look "What did you mean yesterday" the golden haired dwarrow directed his gaze to the younger female in the room "When you said all those things" Fili inquired when she remained silent.

Before she spoke Evangeline looked to her father and Thranduil nodded "You are going to die all three of you and…." she winced "Tauriel will fade because of it" Evangeline finished this was why she never spoke of those horrid dreams.

It was like all the air had been sucked out of the room as the dwarves looked each other over"Wait why would I fade" Tauriel exploded not quite understanding, her green eyes settled on the princess who shook her head.

"I don't understand it either, all I see is you laying there in the snow as that one…" Evangeline's gaze swiveled around to meet the brunette's dark brown eyes "Is stabbed by a pale orc and then you just fade as if you never existed" another wince and all could tell she was upset by the thought.

A few heartbeats passed "And what do you propose we do, call off the entire quest to reclaim our mountain" Kili jumped up brown eyes narrowed on the female only to have his sight cut off by the older she-elf sliding between him and her.

Thranduil looked to his youngest "You know what is to happen" he didn't like this at all "That's why you were sent here to stop this" he sighed when Evangeline nodded "Now you're presence here makes sense" Thranduil straightened in his chair.

Looking quite furious at the turn of events "I was sent by the Valar and blessed by the Maiar of flame Arien to save you three" Evangeline sat up a little taller, well as tall as she could look since she had a small height.

"You're like Gandalf" only Fili put the pieces together, the she-elf was a witch in every sense of the word, Evangeline nodded "What does that mean for us, are we stuck here or will our journey commence" he asked further.

Thranduil became even angrier "You will continue on you're journey with the blessing of our woodland realm my daughter Evangeline and my son Legolas as well as Tauriel the captain of the guard will join you're journey to Erebor" he spoke in a thunderous tone.

And quickly excused himself, Evangeline let out a gasp at how fast her father vanished from sight out the doors and looked to see her third favorite elf do the same, probably to prepare, her shoulders slumped "Would you like to go to where the others are" she asked to the three dwarves.

Thorin nodded "Yes" he snapped out not liking that three elves had just been forced on his company, he didn't want nor need their help, Evangeline stood and gracefully walked past them leading the way to the lower halls.

Hearing the familiar sounds of training, once in the general area where the other training rooms were located, she paused ears perked up for a moment and pushed open a door to the right to reveal the other dwarves in the company.

Legolas was there not happy with the situation "Go to Ada, Muindor, I'll stay with them" Evangeline gave him a strained smile, never having seen that expression on his sister's face, he could do little more than hurry off to find out what was going on.

It didn't seem like he was going to get any answers from the elleth at that moment in time "The training room in Erebor is much larger" an implied insult came from the brunette that had been in the meeting with them.

Evangeline rolled her eyes "This is only one of the training rooms we have Master Dwarf" she nodded politely keeping her manners and wits about her, despite the few nights she'd spent in the forest when she'd been younger and that six month trip to Rivendell.

And being allowed to join the hunting party the once, she'd never traveled anywhere on her own before and if she was being honest with herself she was scared out of her mind "If you say so" Kili huffed dark eyes searching about the large room they were in.

"Lad" came the warning from Balin, the ancient dwarf coming over to direct him to the targets so that he might practice his archery "We are indebted to you Lassie for helping us" the old dwarf faced the she-elf.

Who jolted at being addressed so politely "Ah no um it was no trouble" Evangeline fumbled for words since it seemed this old dwarf was the only one with manners in the company "I mean technically…." she trailed off in a whisper.

"She was born to help us" Thorin sneered and got a warning look from his advisor "Whatever that means" he grumbled and moved over to the wall and picked out a sword to practice with for the time being so that he would warmed up for later.

All dwarves paused in their own practice and looked to the young elf in their midst "I wouldn't really say I was born, but it's probably always been my fate to help you guys with your quest" she rubbed her arms feeling cold inside.

Like all warmth had faded "You're fate" another dwarf in the room snorted and Balin was hard pressed to keep giving out warnings "It's our fate to reclaim our mountain you elves should just butt out of our business" the same dwarf continued.

"Nori atkut" Thorin snapped from his spot at the training dummies and Evangeline slumped even further against the pillar she leaned against, amethyst orbs stormy and full of pain at such hatred, he didn't even question why she seemed to care for them other than that it was her fate.

She sighed but otherwise kept silent "Evangeline we'll be leaving in two days time do you want me to pack you anything" Legolas stepped into the training room after his earlier departure, she looked up and gave him a small smile before shaking her head.

"No I'll handle it Muindor though maybe I should get some practice in of my own so that I'm more prepared" Evangeline grasped the staff that hung around her neck "Stay here I'm going to collect my weapons" she looked around noting the amount of room and then was gone.

Legolas grumbled under his breath, why on earth did the one person in all of Arda that came to them have to be tasked with keeping three stinking dwarves alive, it didn't make any sense to him and he would have just let them be, the dwarves didn't seem to appreciate nor want their help anyway.

Unbeknownst to them Fili had slipped out into the hall after the princess of Mirkwood and when she was half way to her room did she realize it "Why are you following me" Evangeline spun on her heels to face the golden haired dwarrow.

"Because there's something about you I don't understand and I want to find out what it is, why are you so determined to help us" shot out of his mouth, though he remained semi polite since he was all alone with this strange female.

Evangeline sighed "I don't really have an answer for tha…oomph what on earth did I just hit" she blinked her amethyst irises around and swung her arms out to see if she could feel for any disturbances, her fingers latched onto cotton.

Before it was simply gone, Fili felt something move past him and something slip into his pocket, he knew that there was only one person or rather creature who could do this 'Bilbo you magnificent hobbit' he thought inwardly.

"Why is it that whenever I look at you a fire sparks in my soul and only being close to you does the heat simmer down" Evangeline's voice drew his attention, they were in the middle of an empty hallway and she wanted to know so badly.

Fili frowned "That is something I can't answer right now" he said with an inward grimace, knowing that if he revealed it all hell would break loose and they would all be stuck in Mirkwood and they would miss their chance.

His words seemed to upset her "Okay well you better go back or you'll get in trouble no doubt…wait you don't know the way do you" Evangeline sighed feeling more tired than ever before when he shook his head.

"Nope, I'm Fili by the way" he quirked a grin at her "You fight" Fili asked as the female continued her original trek, she nodded with a smile "I hope you're good at it or uncle will refuse to have you on this quest" he warned.

Evangeline huffed at him "Please I've been training for this since I was five and while I'm only sixteen right now, I know plenty about shooting an arrow, throwing daggers and wielding dual swords and I have my maiar powers at my disposal" she ticked off her fingers.

This earned a wide eyed look "Sounds like you're father wanted you to know how to protect yourself" Fili commented following along behind the she-elf at a leisurely pace "And how on earth do you know Gandalf" he remembered from yesterday.

"Ah Mithrandir taught me all I know about my second heritage two months after my fifth birthday all the way to my sixth, by the way I'm only one sixteenth of an elf so you could say I'm more Maiar than elf" she chattered glad that at least a few of the dwarves didn't seem to hate her.

Fili frowned "Wait a second you know Gandalf personally and why do you have a raven, don't you know that's my family's crest" he asked blue eyes filled with curiosity, amethyst eyes locked with his over the female's shoulder.

"Yes and Mithrandir gifted Hisime to me for completing my training with him and he never said that a raven was someone's family crest" Evangeline exclaimed wondering where her precious raven was anyway so that she could send a message to Mithrandir.

He breathed out "You don't seem to hold any of the hate that most of you seem to do here for us" one last question, it was one he wanted answered no matter what, why was she so different and didn't hold contempt for his kind.

Evangeline blinked "Father raised and encouraged me to love all and I assumed that meant other races as well, he means well you know I just don't think he really knows how to show it" she smiled remembering all the times he'd comforted her when she'd been upset.

Her adoring father and brother and Tauriel those three had been all she'd needed throughout her life so far "Funny considering he hates us, but oh well maybe not all you elves are bad I supposed" Fili chuckled quietly as they finally reached the royal wing and her room.

"Just wait there I'll be back in a few moments" she disappeared into a room and collected her bow, quiver, swords and daggers, she would pack later that night after dinner and exited her room once more after situating the weapons to her person.

The dwarrow gave her a strange look "Got enough weapons" he asked humor clear in his tone of voice and Evangeline stuck her tongue out childishly and they both erupted into laughter, before the ravenette paused.

"Oooh I forgot one thing pardon me Master Fili" Evangeline ducked back into her room and grabbed up the special gift Tauriel had gifted her three nights ago, an ax made of the strongest metal in Middle Earth.

The she-elf wouldn't exactly tell her what it was but the weapon was comfortable in her grip and Evangeline hurriedly attached the ax to her back and dashed from her room for the second time "Mahal is that an ax" Fili whistled in awe.

Eyeing all the weapons fixed to the girls person "Yeah it was a gift from Tauriel for my one hundred and sixteenth birthday three days ago" Evangeline patted herself down just to make sure she wasn't missing any of her other weapons.

Fili shook his head "Right we should go before my uncle blows a gasket or that blonde elf gets angry that I've been alone with you, say you don't really look like you're father why is that" it had been bothering him and since he was alone with the female there was no better time to ask.

"I'm adopted, Ada, my father and my brother Legolas found me washed up on the bank of the river that flows through Mirkwood and just took me into the family and I was crowned official princess on my fifth" Evangeline stated walking gracefully in the direction they had come from.

It was a reasonable answer "I see have you ever been outside these walls before" Fili inquired knowing that he now had limited time to ask his questions, she tilted her head to the side and looked at him closely.

Before nodding hesitantly "In a way yes, but also no, I went to Rivendell when I was ten for six months but I trained during that time under Lord Elrond to become a healer and a few times I spent in the forest when I was six until it got to dangerous" she began.

"And a few days ago I was on a hunting party to destroy some Spawn of Ungoliant, those big spiders that are in the forest, other than that I've never traveled anywhere on foot and I've never gone anywhere without a heavy escort" Evangeline finished.

He was stunned "Why the obsessive protection" this was his final question as they neared the room where the others were practicing and Fili knew he was going to be in a good amount of trouble when he walked through those doors with the maiar/she-elf.

"My fifth birthday someone gave me a present a dead creature that was black and it exploded all over my brother a black tar like substance that burned, that's when I awakened my maiar abilities and Ada thought that someone would try to assassinate me because I wasn't full elf" she said.

Fili frowned deeply "Did anyone perhaps think that maybe this person wanted you to awaken your gifts so that you would be prepared for two days from now" he wondered aloud, Evangeline didn't get to answer as they passed through the doors.

Dead silence greeted their ears and he knew he was in a lot more trouble than he thought, Fili chuckled nervously and moved towards his brother hoping to stay the explosion that was simmering just underneath the surface and he could literally feel the glare plastered to his back.

For Evangeline she moved over to the other side of the training room and began her warm ups "Muinthel" Legolas began in a tone that implied he was about to begin lecturing her "What were you doing with that dwarf" he hissed in a to low tone for the dwarves to hear.

She pressed her lips together and spun "He just followed me Muindor, don't worry about it" Evangeline smiled reassuringly and the blonde frowned but didn't say much more on the subject as she turned back to the target.

Kili spotted the large bow slung across her back and his dark brown eyes widened "I bet she can't even use it" he grumbled to Fili "By the way what were you doing with that Elf Nadad" Kili turned to his brother with a huff.

The golden haired dwarrow shrugged "Just getting some questions answered, by the way Nadad she's not a full elf, only one sixteenth she's more like Gandalf if anything" Fili huffed "And I wouldn't judge her to quickly, why not challenge her" he suggested.

If they could all come to some agreement it would make the rest of the journey to the mountain a lot more tolerable, Kili grinned and bounded over to the ravenette just as Thorin reached his side "What did you think you were doing alone with that woman" he hissed.

"Like I told Kili, Uncle just getting some questions answered, how are we going to trust them if we don't get along with them for now" Fili sighed pulling some daggers from hidden spots and eyeing the target just a little ways away from him and throwing one.

A deep scowl settled on his lips and Thorin made his way back to his advisor "You think it's wise to trust them, especially her" his blue eyes were settled on the youngest person in the room watching her closely, especially when his youngest nephew approached the female.

Sensing the closeness of someone unfamiliar, Evangeline looked up and her amethyst orbs locked with dark brown "Hello" she smiled kindly "Is there something you need Master Dwarf" she inquired looking slightly uncomfortable.

"My name is Kili stop calling me Master Dwarf already and yeah I came to challenge you to a archery contest, see who the better shot between the two of us are, that is if you can even use that big bow on you're back" Kili narrowed his eyes and smirked, thinking she'd refused.

From where he was stood across the room keeping an eye on the dwarves and his sister, Legolas snorted inwardly of course Evangeline could shoot an arrow properly, she'd been practicing since she'd been five after all.

Knowing that he was purposefully trying to bait her "You got yourself a deal then Kili" Evangeline nodded accepting the challenge but not getting riled up since her skills had been questioned and now she felt the need to show off if just a tiny bit.

With that she led the way over to the targets set up for the archers and pulled her bow from her back, making sure it was still in good condition first before drawing an arrow "What are you waiting for go ahead Lady's first after all" Kili gestured for her to start.

Evangeline raised a black brow and drew back her arrow after notching it onto the string, amethyst eyes narrowed on the target before loosing the shaft of wood and rock, the arrow struck close to dead center and she turned to the dwarf "Your turn Kili" she smiled.

All eyes were now on them after seeing that the female did indeed possess some skills in archery and Kili not one to be shown up especially by a little girl took aim and fired his arrow, his landed just under hers and he smirked.

Balin, ever the mediator rushed over to the target "You are both skilled neither is better than the other" he dubbed and Evangeline smiled, she didn't really like competing her heart was never into such activities.

"What else are you good at lassie" a voice drawled from across the room and everyone looked to see Dwalin who was eyeing the ax hooked to the ravenette's back Evangeline grinned eager to get over this whole Elf and Dwarves hating each other thing.

Once near him "I know a variety of things such as wielding daggers, my swords both short and long, I have a arsenal of spells" she laughed basically it was mostly all fire spells to be honest "And I know some hand to hand" she finished.

Dwalin raised a brow "And what about that ax on your back you ever used it before" he asked in a gruff tone, trying his hardest not to look surprised, this girl before him was much, much younger than he'd thought especially with her so close.

Immediately Evangeline shook her head "I've hardly had time to practice, only got it three days ago" she removed the ax to look it over again "But whenever I hold it, it feels right in my hands" Evangeline grinned.

Before to long and after a little more practicing lunch was called and they all made their way to the hall where they were to eat, Evangeline more excited than ever and when she was done with lunch she bounded off to who knows where.

While the dwarves were led back to the training hall or wherever they wished to go with an escort but basically they just stuck together, no one the wiser that Evangeline was searching high and low for whatever it was she had bumped into.

Finally the maiar/she-elf cornered it/him/her she wasn't sure and before her very eyes "Please don't hurt me" the cutest creature at least in her mind revealed himself, he gulped and huddled into the corner where she'd literally cornered him.

"Don't worry I'm Evangeline and how did you do that, what are you and how are you here, are you with those dwarves, if so why didn't you just say so and unveil yourself earlier" she chattered earning a wide eyed look.

It didn't seem like she was going to attack him "I'm Bilbo Baggins and a Hobbit is what I am" Bilbo introduced himself after contemplating for several minutes on what to do, after a moment and forgoing one of the questions, he answered the others.

"Yes I'm with those dwarves I'm trying to save them and no one was supposed to know I'm here" he huffed crossing his arms, and Bilbo swore the girl before him looked the tiniest bit hurt at his rather rude responses.

Evangeline sighed "We aren't hurting them any you know, tell you what you should probably just stay hidden and when we are all outside in two days time you can unveil yourself Master Baggins" she smiled before frowning "You should also eat, here" she pulled an apple seed out of her bag.

"Ala" she said clearly using her staff and the seed began growing until there was an apple tree with fully grown apples situated in the middle of the hallway, Bilbo gaped at her "I'm like Mithrandir or Gandalf as you know him and you can trust me" Evangeline assured.

Hastily Bilbo grabbed many apples before the tree withered and the female frowned placing the seed back in her pocket, she would have to replace it before to long "And here's some water, now go along" she nudged him off.

The hobbit went without fuss, quietly munching on his apple and Evangeline hurried to her room packing her things for two days time making sure she had all the medicines and herbs that the Lord of Rivendell had gifted her for completing her training with him.

Then packed several outfits, forgoing any dresses and making sure she had a couple spares of boots in her bag, all of her weapons were lined up and ready to situate onto her person, by the time she was done it was dinner.

She ate with the others, much quieter than usual as she wondered inwardly how she was going to complete her task without dying herself and why she every time she was near the golden haired dwarrow fire lit up in her soul or she could feel his gaze on her.

From across the table or wherever they were, Evangeline excused herself early that night, much like the dwarves and bathed in the herbal mixture that had been created for her when she was little before dressing in a cream nightgown and going to sleep, no dreams haunted her that night and she was allowed to get some rest.
