The Hobbit/LotR: There And Back Again (Elvenqueen and Megara)

"Now if you'll forgive me for making such a detour, master Bane." Elrond's gaze flicked briefly to the man before they returned to look at Gandalf quizically. "But I must ask, what exactly it is that your company were doing on the Great East Road in the first place in order to be ambushed?"

"We are travelling to the Iron Hills." Thorin lied. "To visit our kin there." remembering that Gandalf had said the elf might be able to read the map, he reluctantly pulled it out of his pocket. Though he deliberately made no mention of the key. "I have come upon this map, there is something written in ancient dwarvish that we cannot read and we would like to know what it means."

Elrond took the map and examined it, raising an eyebrow. "And why do you wish to know it's meaning?"

"Yes. they never would listen to warnings." Thranduil sneered slightly as he stepped back. "Very well, if you will not heed your friend's warning then perhaps you will take a deal."
Thorin braced himself for what was coming next. He had seen this coming, but he did not interrupt the Elvenking and instead waited until he had finished. "I will let you and your companions go, if you will simply return what your kin stole from us."
"A favour for a favour." the dwarf answered as he took a few steps to the side, though he carefully sidestepped to avoid Mel as the she-elf made a move towards him.
"You have my word." Thranduil promised with a slight nod. "One king to another."

This time it would seem it was Thorin's turn to be angered. The dwarf prince smirked angrily and raised his voice, as if he were trying to make it heard to every Elf in the halls the truth about the king that they followed. That he was nothing but a dishonest, selfish liar. "I would not trust Thranduil, the great king, to honour his word, should the end of all days be upon us!" he raised his voice yet again as he turned to point a finger at the elf furiously. "You lack all honour! I have seen how you treat your friends, we needed your help once, homeless and starving, and you turned your back! You turned away from the suffering of my people!" and then he spat an insult at him in Khuzdul that would finally crack the Elvenking's otherwise stoic composure that he had now regained: "May you die in dragon fire!"

Mel didn't understand what it meant, but she was smart enough to figure out that it hadn't been polite. The she-elf had opened her mouth to defend her uncle but even she jumped backwards with an audible gasp as the great Elvenking crossed the room in mere seconds, his face inches from the dwarf prince's as he snarled with venom in his voice.
"Do not talk to me of dragonfire! I know it's wrath and ruin!" the comment had in fact made him angrier than he had ever been before now, so angry that the illusion which hid the scarred and disfigured part of his face was broken, to reveal the blind, clouded white eye and the flesh that had been melted away right down to the sinew and bone. "I have faced the great serpents of the North!"

As strong a stomach as she usually had, Mel had to avert her eyes as her uncle's scars showed. She had seen them once before as an elfling, when he had first returned from that battle and they had brought back her father's body, and she had never forgotten that moment. Seeing them now brought back those memories, and for a moment her strong frame trembled as she fought them down. She was grateful when Thranduil stepped back sharply and regained his usual demeanour."I had warned your grandfather, of what his greed would summon but he refused to listen to me." though he would not show it the dwarf's open challenge of his authority had shaken him, and Mel could tell this by the way he headed back up the steps to the safety of his throne, where the dwarf could not follow him and could not belittle him any more.
"You are just like him." Thranduil snarled, the flick of his wrist all that was needed to summon the two guards into action. They swiftly stepped forward and seized hold of Thorin and Maleficent to take them back down to the dungeons with the rest of their company. "Stay here then if you will, and rot! I can wait a hundred years if it is needed, it is only the blink of an eye in the lifetime of an Elf, and I am patient, Oakenshield!"

Alrighty, I will let you know if anything comes to mind :D

"This is Glamdring." Elrond explained as he handed Orcrist back to Thorin and took Gandalf's blade to examine it. "Orcrist's brother blade, the Foe Hammer. This was the sword of the great Elf king Turgon, lord of the High Elves of the First Age."

"I wouldn't bother with that laddie." Balin leaned over to mumble to Bilbo. The blade was so small he wasn't sure it would have ever been in a battle worthy of note. "Swords are named for the great deeds they do in war," he explained to the hobbit.

Yeah, that helps a lot thanks :)

"Traitor." Thorin hissed angrily at her. How could she claim to be on their side when she would give away their secrets so quickly to their sworn enemies.
"Enter the mountain?" Mel scoffed at the fae, her own eyes sharp as she glared at her. "You are a fool, you will never get past the dragon."

"No," Thranduil shook his head as he circled Thorin ominously, his head tilted to one side as if he were thinking something through very carefully. "they have found another way in. And he seeks to claim the thing that would give him the right to rule. The king's jewel, the Arkenstone."

"Do not speak out of turn, fae." growled Mel firmly into Maleficent's ear. "I have been gentle with you so far, but you are as traitorous as they if you have been helping them creep through our lands unawares. If you do not watch yourself you might find a knife or two will accidentially find its way to poke you in the back, do you understand?"

Thranduil's gaze turned to regard Maleficent as she spoke, and it was just as hard and cold as the way he looked at Thorin. "Yes, you do not think that I would have forgotten you, Saeril." he answered smoothly, with one eyebrow raised as he regarded her, stopping in front of the fae for a moment, with his arms held behind his back as he moved. "Or your tendency to choose the wrong sides." the Elvenking growled lowly. "Somehow it does not surprise me to find you with dwarves sneaking around my woods. It is very clear to me that you had a specific purpose in being here, but I do not believe the lies that your dwarvish friend is trying to feed to me. It is a crime to wander these woods without leave; do you forget that you were using the road made by my people? And did you not rouse those foul spiders from their holes with all your yelling and clamouring through the wood? After all your disturbances you have made to my people, I have every right to know what it is that brought you here, and if you will not tell me now then I swear I will lock you all away until you have learnt sense and manners!" Thranduil seemed to get more angry by the second each time Thorin had refused to tell him why they had come to Mirkwood, and it seemed Maleficent had not had much like to quiet his wrath either.

I just wanted to ask something, since it seems we've kind of taken a huuugeee detour with this beast plot, how exactly did you plan to work it in so that it actually doesn't completely take over from the actual canon events? Cause it's all very well and good to have it added in, but if we wanted to just do the beast plot we could have set it completely after the canon stuff...but we're supposed to be focusing on the canon events too and the canon stuff has kind of just been chucked to the side right now...

Thorin had been lost in his own thoughts, and getting rather quite annoyed that they were being kept for such a long time over something that was not really a concern of his or any of his companions-especially since they did not know how much time they would have before others would try to retake the mountain too. Though he was jerked out of his thoughts as Bane spoke directly to him, and looked up.
"...Yes, I believe it is." he answered slowly.

Elrond held his hand out curiously. "If you would allow me to look at it, I may be able to tell you more about it." the elf offered. Eyeing him distastefully for a few moments, Thorin finally handed the blade over and Elrond smiled knowingly, giving a slight nod. "Ah yes, this is Orcrist, the goblin bane. Forged in Gondolin, for the Goblin Wars of the First Age."

Elrond fixed Bane with a stern look as the elf sat slightly forward in his seat. "I made no mention of simply brushing you to the side, or of excluding your companion, did I master Bane?" when he spoke his voice was as stern as his facial expression. "I simply expressed the concern that myself and Mithrandir alone are not well equipped to find the solution ourselves and that we will have to call on those who are older, and have better knowledge of such evils."
