Chapter Sixteen, The defeat of Azog

Chapter Sixteen, The defeat of Azog

"NO!" Kili shouted. "They will not have you I swear it! I'll kill every last one of them if I have to, even if I die trying!" Kili swore beside himself with worry as this war was all for capturing Ninfea and torturing and killing her just for her power. 'No.' He thought. 'I won't let that happen. Not now. Not ever!' Before anymore could be said Bilbo suddenly appeared before them. "You all need to get out of here now!" Bilbo cried in between gasping for breath from his long run up to them.
"What's the matter Bilbo?" Fili asked concerned sharing a worried look with his uncle, brother and Dwalin. "Bolg is bringing another army from Gundabad they will be here any second. We all need to leave!"

"Thorin, I know how much you want to kill Azog for all he's done to you and your family. But is revenge worth the cost of your nephews lives, of your friends lives, of yours?" She be screeched to the stubborn dwarven King.
"No," Thorin realised finally agreeing with the elfling without putting up a fight. "We'll live to see another day. Come!" But as they turned to leave they heard the drums and cries of goblins behind them. "Arm yourselves!" He cried as they all armed themselves preparing to be surrounded. "Get down!" Ninfea cried.
"What?" Dwalin asked confused.
"Get down now!" Ninfea cried as the army came closer to them the rune on her hand glowing. Kili, Fili and Dwalin realised what she was about to do dived to the ground along with Bilbo and Thorin as she once again punched the ground as her magic burst out of her killing the goblins and orcs.

———————————————————

Legolas and Tauriel were rushing up the hill as fast as they could using the trolls and bats to get them there faster when they saw an explosion caused by Ninfea's magic on top of Ravenhill. "Ninth!" Legolas cried pushing the troll harder making it run into the tower where Azog was hiding. The tower to collapse on impact, Legolas jumped off the troll as it collapsed shooting an arrow into its skull, and onto the falling tower. Azog and what was left of his army escaped the falling tower and rushed towards the group along with Bolg and his army blocking them in against the cliff side.

Legolas ran across the falling tower shooting arrow after arrow trying to stop them from being overwhelmed as Tauriel finally joined them working with Ninfea to swing each other in a circle pushing off the cliff side onto the oncoming orcs cutting them down before they reached the dwarves and hobbit.

Thorin spared a glance at the elfling who he had seriously judged too harshly. He thought she was weak and would be a burden not believing the story she had told them, but her story was true, she was a ferocious warrior and extremely capable of holding her own against the swarm of orcs and goblins. He really should have learned his lesson from judging Bilbo so harshly, well this was not a mistake he would be making for a third time. When this was over and if he survived he owed his nephew and his one the biggest apology.

Soon they were gaining the upper hand helped by Ninfea's magic blasting and killing any that got too close, her bow and arrow firing off rapidly around them, all of them using their swords, Ninfea with two, Tauriel and Bilbo with their daggers and Legolas with his bow and arrow, and switching rapidly between his daggers and bow. Ninfea suddenly cried out in pain as Bolg seeing her as the biggest threat threw her against the cliff side attracting Kili's and Legolas' attention. "NINFEA!" They cried as they rushed towards her as Bolg stood with his double edged hammer ready to stab her in the heart as she lay slumped on the floor magically exhausted and in pain from her likely broken ribs.
