It wasn't the first time, Yavanna had sneaked out on an adventure. Even if her father would worry; she was sure that Gandalf or someone would reassure him; she was doing a good deed. And she had longed to get out of Rivendell...seeing another bit of the world, she had not yet seen. Yavanna smiled warmly at young Fili and his brother. Before her smile was aimed at Saeril. "Of course." she said softly; with a nod towards Saeril's warning.

Yavanna had kept beside the two Durin boys, and Saeril at the front. As she led the company through the paths she knew. A few of the other Dwarfs, were glad to have new company of Yavanna along with them. But they probably would not show it, like Kili, Fili and Saeril did.

The young she-elf talked among their little group. Kili was curious about her life in Rivendell; telling him a few stories, The time seemed to pass.

With the thunder storm gaining on them. Yavanna had her hood up again. The path across the cliffs were rather tight...so they had to go one after the other...carefully. Keeping their backs to the back of the cliffs. As a few rocks crumbled beneath them...Biblo's footing slipped...almost knocking Yavanna down with him...whom was beside him.

Kili was one of the few whom reached out, grabbing a hold of the Princess and Bilbo. Balin caught Bilbo pulling him back towards them. "Careful Master Baggins." Just then, the rocks came hurling towards them. Yavanna gasped, as she looked at Saeril worried, seeing the debris falling on her back. "Are you alright?" The young elf asked her.

"This is no thunderstorm..." Balin breathed out. Just then in the not so far distance...they could see it. A giant made of rocks, was hurling another stone.

"My god...the legends are true! Giants! Storm Giants!"
