I smile as I pull Ithildin up and follow suit as Thorin and his company along with the dwarves army starts attacking the Orcs. I smile as the dwarves find their second wind. I fight through Orcs until I make it to Fili's side. "What took you so long?" I joke as I quickly impale an approaching Orc. Fili smiles at me and we continue to kill the Orcs as we fight side by side.

"There's too many of these buggers, Thorin. I hope you've got a plan." Dain says and I turn toward Raven hill as Thorin says, "Aye, we're going to take out their leader."

My heart drops and instantly follow Fili over to a ram and say, "Fili, I'm going with you!"

He turns toward me with worry in his eyes and says, "No, you stay here."

I smirk as I say, "Are you going to stop me from going with you?" He shakes his head and I smile as I climb onto the Ram behind him and wrap my arms around his waist. "Lead on!" Dwalin yells out and I hold tight to Fili as Thorin, Dwalin, Kili, Fili, and I ride off towards Ravenhill. When we reach the top we start killing dwarves until not more are seen. We look around but a morning fog is shielding our eyes from the ruins.

"Where is he? It looks empty. I think Azog has fled." Fili says and my heart drops as I know he has not.

"I don't think so." Thorin says before he slowly turns back to us. "Fili, take your brother. Scout out the towers. Keep low and out of sight. If you see something, report back, do not engage. Do you understand?"

They nod but I quickly interrupt as I say, "Wait!" They all slowly turn to me and I hide the emotions from my face as I say, "I will go,"

"No!" Fili says as he grabs my arm. "I won't let you!"

"I am lighter on my feet than you, I will be fine I promise." I say as give him a reassuring smile.

"Uncle you can't-" Fili starts but Thorin quickly interrupts him as he says, "If Randír says she can do it then I trust her." He slowly turns to me as he says, "Be safe." I give him a forced smile before I quickly bound off to the other side of the frozen river right as a hoard of Goblin mercenaries attack them. I let out a heavy sigh as I manage a quick glance back toward Fili. Tears threaten my eyes as I knew what was going to come next but I wasn't afraid. I would die so that the line of Durin would live on. "Amin mela lle."

I slowly scout through the towers when I hear a noise. I glance around the corner and see the shadows of Orcs coming towards me and I turn to run the other way but see Orcs there as well. Suddenly I am overwhelmed. They grab me and I am instantly brought before Azog. "I remember you," He says as he lifts my face up to his. "Melethril daughter of the traitor Celebrimbor, You challenged me when I was going to kill the Halfling."

"And I would do it again!" I say through gritted teeth.

"You will make a good example." He says as he takes me by the back of the neck and drags me out onto a balcony. I look forward to see Thorin, Dwalin, Kili, Bilbo, and Fili staring up at me. Fili starts to rush towards them but Thorin quickly grabs his nephew and holds him back. "Randír!" Fili cries out and my heart clenches.

"Ada?" I say as I frantically look around me.

"This one dies first. Then the brothers. Then you, Oakenshield; you will die last." Azog says and I feel fear fill my body.

I hear my father's voice call out and I quickly jump up into the air catching Azog by surprise as I pull myself from his grasp and kicking him in the chest send him stumbling backwards as I fall over the edge of the balcony. As I fall I reach out and grab the closest thing to me which happens to be the side of the tower and smile as I draw Ithildin and slide down the rest of the way until I am safely on the ground.

"Randír!" I hear Fili cry out and I smile as I turn toward his voice and start making my way back over to him but end up stopped in mid-run as an Orc jumps down before me.

After I dispatch him more and more start surrounding me. I reach down and grapping a nearby Orc's sword; use both it and Ithildin to cut down Orcs as they make their way toward me. After a few moments my sword comes down to meet metal and I look over to see Fili standing in front of me his sword blocking mine. He smiles as he says, "I told you I'd remember." I smile and before I am able to say anything an Orc runs up behind him and I twirl behind him and quickly slice the Orcs throat. "Randír," He says as I turn back to him and I smile as I pull the front of his shirt toward me making his lips crash against mine.

"What was that for?" He asks when I pull away from him.

I smile brightly as I say, "For good luck." He returns my smile as he reaches up and gently touches the braid in my hair. Suddenly I hear a loud cry and turn to see Bolg, the rest of the Orcs, and the giant bats arrive at Ravenhill and my heart drops. "Where are Thorin and Kili?" I ask not able to hide the fear in my voice. He follows my gaze and we run atop a boulder to see Thorin fighting Azog. I hear a noise behind me turn to see Kili fighting Orcs and my dream starts to come into my mind and I gulp down a breath of air as I say, "Don't leave my side."

He stares at me confused for a moment but nods. I see a shadow cross the ground before me and I look up to see Legolas holding onto one of the giant bats legs to fly over to the top tower, Tauriel then notices Kili fighting with the Orcs and I watch as she runs up beside him and starts fighting along with him. Then I watch as in the chaos Bilbo is knocked unconscious. I turn and running over quickly cut down an Orc who has his sword prepared to slice Kili's back. I look up at him and Tauriel and give them a quick nod before I say, "Leave this place, and take Fili with you."

"NO! I will not leave you here!" Fili says and my heart clenches and I turn to Tauriel and say in elvish so only she would understand, "Gar tírad tîn guruth, ann Thorin's sui mael sui Kili's. Nányë maeg an echad- sûl ten umë tolo taug. Lá núta ti e sís!"

At the mention of Kili's death her eyes widen slightly as she says, "Sui-d iest." She gives me a slight bow before I hear Fili say, "What did you say to her?"

"Fili please, go with Tauriel and your brother."

"How many times do I have to say it, I'm not leaving you."

"They need your help defeating Bolg, I will go to Thorin. I will see you after this is all over, I promise." He looks away and I eye Tauriel and I see the knowing in her eyes. She knew I had no intention of coming back and that I would give my life to protect him just like she would for Kili. Fili's eyes find mine again before he reaches up and grabbing my neck pulls my lips down to meet his.

"Be safe amrâlimê." He says to me after he pulls away and heads off after Tauriel and Kili. I feel my heart leap in my chest before it once again clenches. I was his love. I feel tears threaten my eyes but I quickly push them away as I run back toward Thorin. I watch as Thorin tosses Azog's boulder and throws it to Azog, making him slip down the broken ice and sink into the water. I smile as I feel like my dream had been averted until I hear Thorin cry out in pain and I quickly run over and right as Azog bursts through the ice. Before he is able to pin Thorin down, I push Thorin out of the way and fall to my back as I quickly bring Ithildin up to block his death blow.

"I will not allow you to interfere again She-elf!" Azog cries out as I try to hold him back from impaling me. I feel my arms start to buckle and a single tear falls from my cheek as I yell out, "If I die you die with me!" I pull Ithildin away letting his sword come down impaling me in my shoulder. I cry out in pain and I can swear I hear Thorin's voice in the background but I can't make out his words.

Suddenly my body starts to burn up with a unknown heat and I swear I feel someone else take my body as I hear my father's voice escape my lips, My body moves on its own as it swiftly brings Ithildin up stabbing Azog straight through his heart. Azog stares down at me his eyes full of both shock and anger. Suddenly I feel someone rip Azog off me and I turn to see Thorin deliver the final blow driving his sword through Azog's body into the ice finally killing him. I smile as I watch the light go out in his eyes.

Suddenly Thorin is beside me his eyes full of panic and anger, "You fool what were you thinking?!"

I smile softly as I say, "I had to keep you all safe. I made a promise."

"What good is a promise like that when your life hangs in the balance?" He asks and I feel tears start to fall from my eyes. "You once told me you thought of me as a father figure, well I think of you as the daughter I never had. I am sorry for all the pain I have caused you Randir."

I feel my heart lift in my chest causing tears once again to pour as I say, "Please call me Melethril, Ada."

"Melethril, this is not the end. I will not let your life end this way." He says as he frantically looks around him. "Bilbo!" He cries as he see the Hobbit regaining consciousness. "Find Oin or Gandalf quickly!"

"Please tell Fili that I did what I had to, to protect you and him and Kili."

Thorin looks at me curiously as he says, "Why do you say that?"

"I saw your deaths and I couldn't let that happen. I needed to keep you all safe, and I did." I say as I wince in pain.

"You saw our deaths and you didn't say anything?"

"Would you have, Or would you have done all you could to protect your family?"

"You should have told me."

I look up at the sky right as an eagle passes and I smile as I say, "The battle should be over soon my lord."

"Melethril do not die, I forbid it!"

I chuckle as I say, "You're ordering me not to die?"

"I am your king am I not?"

"That you are my lord." I say through a wince. I could feel myself slowly fading and my vision starting to blur. "That you are, but I'm afraid this may be one order I cannot follow." I feel my body grow cold and I know the end is close. "Please tell Fili that I was proud to be his amrâlimê." Then everything grows dark.
