"Looking behind. Nasty business. Still, they all are in one piece." Gandalf told Thorin, I tried to help and listen to their conversation at the same time which wasn't so easy. "No thanks to your burglar." I heard Thorin say but before I could get angry Gandalf spoke again. "He had the nous to play for time. None of the rest of you thought of that. They must have come down from the Ettenmoors." Gandalf said looking at the Trolls more closely. While I was with Brego who was such a faithful companion. "Let's go we have to move," Thorin yelled so suddenly I shrunk. Thorin passed me but kept walking, so I followed Dwalin and Gandalf through the forest when I noticed a stench getting stronger and stronger. "Oh, what's that stench?!" Bofur asked taking the Question away I was about to ask. "It's a troll hoard. Be careful what you touch," Gandalf answered as we approached a cave. "Bofur, Gloin, Dwalin, Nessa, and Nori come with me, the others stay here and keep watch in case somebody's coming," Thorin ordered. Slowly I walked behind Gandalf into the cave holding my sleeve against my mouth and nose. "This stench is horrible," I mumbled. "If you can't hold it anymore, go outside to get some fresh air," Thorin told me, hed appeared next to me again and again I shrunk. "I'm good Thorin," I told him and walked a few meters away towards a chest full of Gold coins and jewels piled up. I almost tripped when I reached the pile, thankfully I kept myself steady. "What the hell," I mumbled and looked on the ground seeing a shaft on the ground underneath the chest. Carefully reached for it, when I had it in my Hand I noticed it was a sword shaft. "Wow," I mumbled when I pulled the sword out noticing the blade was made by elves. "Let's get out of this foul place. Come on, let's go. Bofur, Gloin, Nori." Thorin called behind me, with a swift move I turned around heading into his direction with the sword shaft in my hand. "What did you found?" Bilbo asked when I came out of the cave. I showed the sword to him, which made Bilbo frown. "Wow," he said and I nodded, "Yeah I had the same reaction when I found it," I replied. Gandalf came out, he had a sword on his belt and a little sword in his hand about Bilbo's size. "Bilbo," he said as he joined us, quietly I snuck away from to the edge of the group looking into the distance. "Your alright?" Thorin's voice asked behind me, he stepped next to me with a worried face. "I'm OK Thorin, the fresh air helps from the stench," I told him with a little smile. "Good," he said with a little smile, laying his hand on my shoulder. I did the same with my hand laying it on top of his. While we were standing like this I noticed braids on both sides of his face. I knew since I had two braids as well due to my parents who taught me a lot of things. "You got a few braids," I said and Thorin nodded. "My two nephews, my sister, and my parents," he said showing me each braid. "I only have two braids from my parents, since I haven't found my one," I told him knowing about the dwarish custom braiding hair. "So you know the dwarfish custom?" Thorin asked which I replied with a nod. "My Parents told me about it," I said, telling him the story from my childhood. "Your parents taught you right, Its good that you came with us," Thorin said which made me smile even more. "How's that?" I asked back but Thorin didn't answer because of a distraction in the distance. "Yeah, I can hear it too," I said really hearing the rustling noises of leaves and twigs nearby. "Something's coming!" Thorin yelled and ran down the little hill we were on. "Prepare for any incoming," I yelled taking my sword out. A Sledge came trough a bush pulled by rabbits. "Thieves! Fire! Murder!" The Man on the sled yelled which was very weird. "Radagast. It's Radagast the Brown!" Gandalf said I remembered a few days ago I heard Gandalf talk about other Wizards, one of them was him, he seemed to be a good friend of Gandalf. "What on earth are you doing here?" he asked him after a short greeting. The two wizards stepped aside from the group talking while we waited for them giving them space. I was sitting on a huge rock when Fili approached me. "So what is going on with you and Thorin?" Fili asked after sitting next to me. "Nothing why?" I asked back with a raised eyebrow. "I saw you two talking just a few minutes ago before the wizard came," Fili said. "Fili, we were just talking," I said told him but I knew that it was more than just talking. "Come on tell me, I won't tell anybody," Fili said but I shook my head. "It was just talking," I told the young dwarf. "Alright if you say so," Fili said getting up heading towards his brother. A Wolf howling got me up my feet with my hand on the sword hilt.
