Middle-Earth: Bright Stars & Durin's Folk { Wolf & Angel }

Saeril looked at the wizard, then back to Bilbo, just as soon as he told the group that there was something else lurking around in the woods. "What did it look like? A bear?", she asked the Hobbit, making sure she knows what he thinks. Unlike the others, she didn't express any stiffness to her. Between her and Gandalf, they knew what creature the Hobbit was referring to.

Bilbo looked at the older she-elf curiously, surprised that she could guess so easily. "Y-yes. But bigger, much bigger.”
Bofur was liking this less and less. “I say we double back", and then there were murmurs of agreement. “And be run down by a pack of Orcs?”, they didn't have many options here, though Gandalf did mention a house where they may take refuge. “Whose house? Are they friend or foe?”, Dwalin questioned, and then suddenly a loud roar ripped through the clearing. Saeril slightly jumped at the roar of a giant bear. It was indeed Beorn. "We don't have a choice", the wizard silently answered himself.

And then, they were running. The roar was getting closer until there was indeed a house in the distance. The she-elf's cloak was only dragging behind her a little bit, but it wasn't that long, so she didn't have to hold it up while she was running. A few times that Kili or Fili tripped, she or Yavanna would pick them to get them back on their feet.

Fili checked that his swords were in place. "What kind of problem? Did they see you?". If he'd been spotted, they were now in danger. That was Fili's logic, anyway. His God-Mother has been growing more and more aware of their surroundings, ever since their last encounter with Azog, and he only hoped that it wouldn't happen again too soon. The last thing they wanted to go back and relive that fight. Not to mention that she hasn't slept in the past few days because of it.

He did come to notice Yavanna had been trying to convince her into getting some rest, but the elder refused, leaving Fili to now know how deep her vow went into protecting the three of them, and the company.

Chapter One complete! :)

Sometime later in the day, the company moved themselves into the wooded areas of the plain. A place where it was said that the darkest of creatures lurked and roamed. Saeril managed to morph her wings into her cloak, since her wings needed rest from the confrontation with Azog and his pack. Sooner or later, they would be picking up their trail at any time. She and the others were waiting for Bilbo to return, since he scowered ahead to make sure they weren't being followed. Saeril kept herself with the brothers and princess, whose cloak was being adjusted by the elder, occasionally exchanging a few words with them until the Hobbit returned.

Saeril gently placed her free hand on Kili's shoulder when he mentioned his love for her, having to return the acknowledgement with the warm gesture of a smile. Fili chuckled with them, and kept his grip gentle upon Yavanna's hand.

However, upon hearing the princess' observation, the blonde and Saeril looked up as well. "Erebor! The Lonely Mountain. The last of the Great Dwarf Kingdoms of Middle-earth", Gandalf explained. "Our home", Fili breathed out in astonishment. A bird starts to fly towards the mountain. "A raven! The birds are returning!", Dwalin exclaimed when it flew by.

"That, my dear Dwalin, is a thrush", Gandalf corrected him, pleased however as it was just the bird that they needed to fly past. The thrush would be the one to show them the hidden door.

Saeril looked to Thorin, just as he acknowledged her. Just like in Yavanna's case, the Dwarven king's words were not at all what the she-elf expected; after all, she prepared herself for a scold coming from him, not an apology. At least he now didn't see her as a threat, or a nuisance, to his nephews now.

Saeril gave a good-hearted, honored smile, already feeling the goodness, and no ill-will, coming from Thorin. "I am truly grateful, son of Durin. My debt has been paid, as I was bent on a promise. A promise, that I intend to fulfill", the she-elf said with determination to their king, wavering the last sentence to her godsons, as well as Yavanna. At least Saeril was now on the right foot with the company's leader now, and that they were now allies, and not enemies.

But as soon as "family" was mentioned, Saeril did feel a little guilt within herself. Truth be told, the she-elf missed Dis. Only a few years of fellowship, and all Saeril remembered was her happiness of having two boys that were only five years apart. However, the memory of being given the title as "godmother" was a negative recap. She abandoned Dis, right after she was asked on the promise to watch her boys, if she ever couldn't.

However, the winged she-elf snapped back to reality, when she heard Kili's voice. It made her chuckle good-heartedly and amusingly.

Fili was worried at first, and his instincts told him to defend Yavanna again, but Thorin's words were not to be expected. He was surprised but then a finding smile began to form upon his features. With her confidence, the blonde took her hand, and lightly squeezed it.

Saeril gave a soft smile to the younger elf, just to keep her spirits up. Her wings transformed back into her cloak, and her hair waved lightly in the wind, all while keeping her hand in Kili's grip.

Does that mean you're currently editing?
Because I noticed that Saeril wasn't being mentioned.

"Don't worry, he's here, and quite safe", the wizard reassured the dwarven Prince, before turning his attention to the Hobbit. With that said, Fili and Dwalin helped the Dwarf king to his feet. Just as he insisted that he was fine, he stood back with his brother, Yavanna, and his godmother.
