We reached Erebor. We climed the lonely mountain and Thorin got what he wanted. "Let's go into the mountain and slay Smaug." Thorin said. "I'm sorry. I can't." I said. It felt wrong helping Thorin. "Why not?" Thorin asked. "It just doesn't feel right." I answered. I started to feel weird. "I'll stay out and if anything happens." I said. "Alright, we'll go in at dawn." Thorin said. It was dark and set up a fire. We ate and laid down to sleep. I laid beside Thorin. I closed my eyes and heard him hum their song.
Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day,
To find our long-forgotten gold.

I fell asleep.

Next Day...

I woke up and everyone were gone. I climed down the mountain and saw Thorin peek out, he nodded at me and I nodded back. I went into the destroyed town. I walked around and found a placed for me.

At night time I was laying down looking at the beautiful, stary night. I saw Smaug fly up in the air and flue to the city of lakes. I ran to the Mountain and they were cheering. "Come up here!" Thorin shouted. "No, I'm fine." I yelled back. I stayed up all night to look out for any danger. I saw Smaug shout fire into the city. It looked terrible. I saw Smaug just fall down, I think he was killed.

Morning...

People from lake town were coming over. I ran over to them. "Hey! What do you need?" I asked getting my bow and a arrow ready. "We just need some shelter." I think the leader said. "Fine. You may settle in." I said with total confidence. "Thank you." He said back with a smile on his face. They all settled in nice and quietly. It was night time and most people were sleeping, but the leader wasn't. I walked up to him and asked "why aren't you sleeping?" "I'm keeping watch. By the way, I'm bard." He introduced himself with his hand out for a handshake. "Airenel." I grabbed his hand and shook it. "So may I go to sleep if you're keeping watch?" I asked him. I was really tried. "Of course." He answered. "Good night." I said. He nodded. I walked away. I went into my tower and fell asleep.

I wake up to people stomping on the ground heading somewhere. I stand up and see Bard walking through the elves to Thranduil. They talked and saw the elves bringing in a carriage full of food and drinks. Thranduil thru a stare at me. I ran to Bard asking "what's all this about??" "I don't know, he said that he heard we needed help and he came for what he needed." He answered. "Oh no." I said. "Why? What's wrong?" He asked putting a hand on my right shoulder. "Nothing." I turned away thinking of what will happen.

((Night passed and all armies came to fight))
Thranduil was fighting and I was to, we were close. The goblins were dumb, but the orcs were smart. I saw a Orc getting a arrow ready to shot at Thranduil. "Thranduil look out!" I yelled but he didn't seem to hear. The Orc shot and I ran to save the arrow from Thranduil. The arrow hit my right shoulder. I fall in pain, but also in silence. Thranduil looked over at me and fell to his knees and said "please don't leave me, it's going to be alright." my eyesight turned blurry and was getting darker and darker.
