Then he turns his attention to Fíli and Kíli, who stand near their uncle in armour finer than anything they have ever seen or held in their lives, greeting them with exclamations about how broad and strong the two have grown. They should be there.ĭáin steps forward, slipping with deceptive grace from the back of his war boar to smash his head against Thorin’s with a gleeful cry of their king’s name and a gut shaking chuckle. The agreement was that they would be there. Of the Men, there is no sign, and worry coils deep in her gut even as they cross the no man’s land between the foot of Erebor and the waiting armies. Nori wishes that a stand off between elves and dwarves and a few traded insults is all that they will have to look forward to, but she knows all too well that is not going to be the case. They know why they are here and they know that the dwarves are not the enemy that they will have to face this day. The elves, by contrast, are calm, merely concerned with controlling their mounts and waiting. Nori wishes that she could use that excuse to keep Kíli inside too, but she knows that her lad has been trained for this since he was a child.ĭáin, fortunately, does not instantly order an attack on the elvish forces near the base of the mountain, though his ram mounted troops face the mounted warriors of Rivendell nervously, every dwarf with their weapons in hand and tense as they await the order to attack. She leaves Var with them as well, an assassin has no place in pitched battle. Nori can see exhaustion lining his face and she suspects that his captivity has been harder than Bard might realise, especially given the way that Sigrid clings to him and Bain watches everyone around him with hard, suspicious eyes. Galen is ordered to make sure that nothing happens to the hobbit lass and he takes the charge with a relieved sigh. At least Briar will be safe in the mountain. Briar is upset, but Kíli is relieved with the order even if he admits to Nori that he is worried that the ring might hurt his lass. She can hardly believe that none of them questioned Briar’s odd ability to sneak around unseen in her last life, but there it is. Gandalf has not explained the full significance of the thing yet, but Nori knows it is bad. They cannot afford for her to be slain in battle while in possession of the thing only for it to fall into the hands of orcs. Nori pauses long enough to tell him to place the two young ones in the care of Briar, who has been ordered to stay in the mountain by Gandalf due to the ring that she is carrying. Var slips into the mountain with Galen, Sigrid and Bain in tow just as the Company are gathering to leave and greet Dáin and his army.
