*takes drag from cigarette but I show it's just a candy stick* 'sup This post is gonna be a mixture of an update regarding the blog and the fic. We'll start with the blog first.

The inbox is open again! Yahoo! Just to make sure, please adhere to (most*) of the rules I stated in this post here.

*most? Well urm, if you had already left an ask in the inbox, and it wasn't answered, your "counter" will reset to zero now. In fact, I think I'm gonna get rid of the 3 asks max rule, because sometimes an ask won't get answered, and you have basically no idea if that's the case, and therefore you may think you can never send in another ask.

So let me clear things up: you can send in as many asks as you want, but please do so in moderation. If I do not answer your ask, and it doesn't fall into any obvious spoiler rule to justify why, just know it is entirely personal preference where I either do not know how to answer such, or don't feel comfortable/up to answering it.

Onto the fic update. For now, I'm still planning the details out for chapter 6, like I stated in a previous post. However, I've taken a bit of a break from it to plan the fic I mentioned in this post. This has not taken away my motivation for chapter 6, but I think this change of pace has been helpful in refreshing my mind in preparation for things. I don't wish to talk much about it right now, but I'll let you know more about it in the future.

Apart from that, I keep getting the urge to make a PMV for chapter 5. I have a few songs in mind (yes all vocaloid songs fite me), but I'm unsure which one to go through with, if any at all. I have one that has lyrics that fit scarily good with a particular part, but I also had a song before that planned with lyric distributions to certain characters and whatnot. So we'll see where that goes haha

He looked away again as he twirled the flower in his fingers. “You know when we were talking last week, I told you about why I agreed to the engagement with Frigga?” “About the future? “Yeah, and I said that I’ve been trying to figure out what direction I wanted to go?” “Yes.” “And who I should do it with?” Rosalind stared at him, unsure what he was trying to say. Marcus turned back to them, took up Rosalind’s hand one more time in one hand, raised it to his lips, and kissed it. His own hands were trembling. Finally, he held out the camellia to them with his free hand and asked in the quietest voice they’d ever heard from him, ��Will you marry me?” (Blood and Thorns, Chapter 17)

Alright, one more painting to go after this one and all 18 chapter paintings will be uploaded! It's really amazing to me that I finished such a huge project, each painting represents approximately 15-20 hours of work, more in some cases, and once the last chapter's is uploaded, I will have an update of the cover too! Maybe I'll have some fan art after that, we'll see, but my work ism going to be primarily focused on Blood and Thorns and its universe. But!! Maybe I'll do some drawings about the other characters or towns.

Saturday, September 14th

It's been a while. And a lot has changed. I'm not going to med school anymore, I decided on Engineering. I'm also applying for Mathematics and Business at other universities. We'll see where I get in.

My winter break, which was in July, was the best month of my life, incredible. I met many people I'll cherish forever, even long distance won't make me lose touch with them. I realised finding a purpose makes every moment happier. And also, realised I love dealing with children. I'm unsure how that will come into play in my Engineering career.

I have also since my last post turned 17! An age of uncertainty, learning experiences, joy and heartbreak.

My mental health has been a mess in the past month and a half, which means I have fallen way behind in my studies. I'm not sure I'll be able to get in anywhere - which furthers my anxiety.

I have 32 books to read and a lifetime's worth of topics to revise in a month. However, I'm currently having trouble even getting out of bed. Starting Monday, I'm planning on restarting my whole approach not only to my studies but also to my life in general. If I keep going the way I am right now, it's not that I'll not get into university, I'll crash. Hard.

I've been trying to have a positive outlook in life. It hasn't been working great, but I'm trying to convince myself that my misery and unhappiness are just a product of teenage angst. That's what they say in the books anyway. One way I've started to gather myself back together is by encouraging healthy habits, such as exercising often and journaling. Next to tackle is my sleep schedule and eating something other than chicken nuggets.

On another note, I have improved a lot in my essay writing. I haven't gotten anything below 90% in a very long time. If I keep my math grades up, I still might have a chance at a good future. I also have started practising for my Uni interviews, which, as a person with a lot of social anxiety, has been very challenging.

It's bittersweet to change my blog bio, but it is time to give up on some dreams and focus on others. I am still young, and realising Medicine wasn't for me was a big adjustment.

Hopefully, this post will signify a new chapter in my academics and life. I will try to update as often as possible, as a way to keep myself accountable and motivated. By February, I hope to be able to announce a change in my bio from "future" to "current".

[universal-kitty]

Hurm, hurm, blog thoughts... Probably gonna get a little personal, but I keep idly spinning my wheels on what I'm doing with this blog.

Like. There's the Tumblr Scare to consider. Still thinking I'll likely move my fics to Ao3, since I don't want to lose them, and I'd almost rather bet on their longevity compared to Tumblr's rn. (Especially under current ownership; maybe...just maybe....someone else should take the reign. I would love to believe staff is as kindly as ex-staff say they are, but everything abt what happened prior still keeps me nervous.)

But there's also IRL stuff going on in my personal life that's... Hmm.

As mentioned before, continuing to look into OSDD as a possible diagnosis for what I've been going through almost all of my life. I thought it was quite normal- based on where and how I entered Fandom- to have characters in your head that spoke to you. They lived your life with you, offering commentary, and etc. Funnily enough, it was only "studying" fickin that I realized there was something else going on there....and that also led to alterhumanity (and geez, did that explain twenty more things-) and THAT is what led to plurality.

...Which has also been a journey and a half, considering my therapist can only do so much. I did the MID, it's just talking about this through parts language and...basically awaiting an appointment- in some future time- to get answers. (I want them, but am unsure if I want an on-paper diagnosis... Suppose we'll see if it means the difference between obtaining specific therapy for this.)

And THAT'S only relevant cause some F/Os are also fictives. Or were F/Os that became introjects, due to the comfort they gave me. (I will not specify who, for personal reasons. If you're curious, I may be willing to entrust my system blog to those who inquire for it.)

OH, and I made it into an apartment!!! That's so incredibly new to me. Nice, but trying to catch this space up with what's needed is...tricky.

Boyf and I have a lot of stuff- put together- and so trying to mentally assemble where shelves will go to bring it all together... Y'know? (But I'm excited to put some lowkey shrines together for certain faves.)

...Other misc. stuff I can't remember now. Reworking my self-inserts on the [quiet] side. Uhhhh, vtubing ideas. More lore for said SIs and ships, and also messing around with certain ideas that could streamline some of my Thoughts?? (We'll see on this. I'm hemming and hawing over it, since idk if this is From Me or outside influences again... Yes, I'm being vague!! I'm allowed.)

Anyways, that's my little update!! I've got drabbles I can post again, at some point, but... Real goal is to eventually post stories again. Esp so I can streamline the commission process, going forward.

(...In the meantime, I am ages behind writing for my LoZ stuff-)

12/11 UPDATE

Just finished up with the semester! I was able to make A+'s in all of my courses. Even after a horrible final presentation I had to give for my final exam. But the classes I took this semester were Modern Physics Laboratory, Electricity and Magnetism, Thermal Physics, and Mathematical Physics II. I had planned to apply to work in the nanofabrication lab downtown but literally that same semester the founder of the lab left to a different school and now the website just doesn't exist at all. I'm guessing this was all for a reason but still I was so bummed!

Anyways I was able to sign up for my spring classes and I'll update them later but I'm taking a lot of general ed requirements and quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, and a research lab class. I really wanted to take the microscopy elective they were offering but the schedule was just not working with my other classes.

I was wanting to minor in astronomy and astrophysics but they weren't offering most of the electives this semester so unsure if that'll even be possible at this point lol.

I was accepted into a physics conference at Tulane University in New Orleans omg. Still figuring out the travel details with my school. I can't wait to goooo and just experience my first conference. Maybe this will make me a little less scared of future endeavors. I had a bad quasi-research experience while I was getting my degree in nanoengineering and I'm a little iffy on academia as my end goal now. But we'll see, maybe it was just a bad one-off type of thing.

Also built my first PC and it works so well, I can play all the Stardew mods I want!

A lot of applications are closing in December and January so I need to start applying for some things if I want a REU with a really big entity. I'm thinking about NIST and some electrical engineering type things. I still need to look into it. My university also gets a lot of funding for the summer, so that's an option too!

I also want to talk about my summer experience at Princeton and their plasma physics lab but I think that deserves its own post.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

DISCLAIMER: Content is for roleplaying purposes only!

“Oh, gulat kayo?” Luminara teases, eyeing the camera with a grin.

“It's been a while since fans have gotten an update from me, so I'm here for a short announcement.” The musician-model smiles once more, her eyes somewhat filled with guilt for ghosting her fans for months on end.

“Though! Of course, we'll make it a little fun!” a bowl filled with little folded papers suddenly comes out and is set beside the singer.

Luminara giggles, placing a hand on her chest. “Nakakakaba naman ‘to!” she whines, “aware naman ako na active talaga ang fans or supporters ko sa X, formerly known as Twitter. That is why the staff lurked through the depths of so many unhinged tweets and have selected questions for me to answer in this video.”

“Celia uwi ka naaaaaa. Miss na kita baby, hindi ko na kaya. where ka pls pls pls muning come come.”

“Aba, ginawa pa talaga akong pusa. I went home in South Korea, meeting the family there. Spending some time alone. Since I mostly work here in the Philippines, I get more peace and feel like I am taking a step off of work if I'm there.” Luminara smiles and shrugs at the question before setting the paper in an empty bowl.

“Celia aware ka ba na may second lead syndrome ka sa Twitter aus niyong apat?”

A sigh first escapes as she finishes the question, seeming done about the topic. “Alam niyo—! May tampo ako about this!” The singer whines, aggressively pointing at the paper in her hold.

“Usually second lead ako for Clem, but also kay…” She pauses, smirking. “‘kay kuyang naka-cap. Which leads me sa tampo ko. Guys, I'm lesbian. Alam ‘kong fictional works niyo, but I cane out publicly para you guys can at least use this detail as default. Next time, try niyo rin red flag ako guys. I challenge you guys, I'll be reading.”

“WHEN NA NEXT MUSIC SISSS??? MAMATAY NA KAMI!!!”

“Si OA naman ito.” the singer mutters teasingly, turning to the camera. “The music has been in the vaults for a really long while now. I think I can’t really release it because releasing songs for me means promotions right after, and I think ayun ‘yung iniiwasan ko for now.” she pouted, unsure of her answer for such a professional question.

“I’m really sorry for the delay, guys. I hope everyone understands. I just want to deliver the songs once we promote them, with the right mindset. We have some contents in store for you, though! There’s really another reason why I was in South Korea for a little.” She sends a wink towards the camera and giggles a second later. Letting out a squeal for being embarrassed by the act of affection.

“If si Seongmin may sariling kumpanya for actors and songers, edi kasama na agad si Celia??? MAY MAGAHAHANDLE NA NG SCHEDULES NIYA FOR HER???”

"Okay, don’t insult Suyeon like that! She’s recently been my manager, assigned by my Mom. She’s been doing so well, kaya! Threaten the camera, Soo.” The camera pans suddenly to the staff area, focusing on Suyeon, Luminara’s manager, who’s obviously shocked at the sudden exposure.

“ABA! Dinamay mo pa talaga ako!” the manager complained, glaring at the camera before the lenses pan back to the singer. Who was giggling happily at what she had done.

“Kanina ka pa side comment ng side comment, ‘wag ako!” she giggles, looking away from the camera to cool down before focusing back on the question. “Second, yes. We have extra help now! As everyone probably read, ARVUM has been a long plan by my brother. We talked for years, that’s why I’ve been an individual artist for a long while. This does not promise anything, we are all hoping that I can offer more in the future.”

A few more questions were answered by the singer until it was time to close things up. Luminara pouts at the screen and nods. “It was a nice little catch-up, guys. Look forward to everything, and I hope I can see everyone again soon! Bye…”

i did it! i updated their design!

their name is whirlpool & they were originally designed by my friend samdboa back in 2020. i never really developed them or did anything with them until now; it was fun to finally do that! i look forward to using & developing them more in the future.

i really wanna draw them again but rn i wanna focus on my WIP christmas-themed rain world fanart so i can hopefully get it done in time for christmas haha. unsure if i'll still be wanting to draw them as much by the time that's done.. we'll see!

design changes i made:

-completely changed the wings

-changed the stripes

-darkened the nose & hair tuft

-changed the color of the scarf & added the stars pattern

-added countershading, made the paws & wavy markings along their sides the same color as the tail tuft

BRO life has been so damn (aggravating) crazy this past month, anyway tell me your thoughts about 'ex in the villa' before i update the app and go play it 🥺🥺❤🙏

Hi beautiful! It's not a full season like S1/2/3 were. It's a mini-season which gives us a different scenario to play. If you play it with this in mind... it's actually not bad, so far at least.

Side Characters:

💎Alfie's a sweetheart, and I think it's actually nice that he's a little unsure. @amalasofmonterisso did a great post about this, but the more 'unsure' he is, the more I like him. It makes him seem like a real person, with real doubts about his feelings. I'm looking forward to seeing where things go with him.

💎Kat is a walking tantrum, and I love her for it. She's got some of the best one-liners, and is quite upfront about what she wants, so I'm interested to see if they boot her early or not.

💎Dana is a LI, and is pretty clearly on MC's side early on, and I like how she seems like she's a little more chill. I hope they give her a bit more depth though, especially if you're not on her route. I don't want her to fade in to the background like Najuma if you're not romancing her. She's also quite honest and seems like she'll be a good friend if you're not pursuing her. Angie vibes.

💎Suresh is.... eh. I'm not vibing with his writing yet, mostly because he doesn't seem to be very good at arguing for someone who's supposedly a corporate lawyer. Although, I'm not a lawyer, and that could just be my perception of him haha. I'll be going into this a bit more if/when I write a fic for him. However, I love his story arc and I'm looking forward to it.

💩Eddie is... also present? Even in the spoilers up to Episode 13, I haven't seen much in way of a personality for him yet. We'll see.

MC Design:

💎The outfits are cute compared to the ones we got at the start of S4, especially the sleepwear.

💎There are a lot more character design options, including more hairstyles and a bigger body type.

💩This might just be me, but I cannot for the life of me make my MC look the way I want her to. I miss the characters from S2/S3, where it was almost impossible for her to not look cute as fuuuuuck.

💩There are a distinct lack of features for non-white players. I've heard a lot of concerns about the eyes, noses, and hair, and I hope they rectify them. Hopefully we get more customisation options in future updates.

💩 We have almost zero choice over our backstory. We don't even get to decide our own secret! We don't get to decide our own ex, either, so WLW players... yeah, no.

Gameplay:

💎Drama central. I'm currently icing Suresh out - playing it cool and turning him down at every opportunity, but there are options for both a 'fuck you' playthrough and a ' please fuck me' playthrough, which will be cool.

💎With all the characters, they started off very sunshiney and shallow, and then started showing negative traits. I love this. I love my characters to have a little complexity. I hope they continue this and make the characters really deep!

💩It's really hard to earn gems.

💩There's a long, interactive ad after every episode and it's really annoying.

💩They recently moved from three episodes each week to having mostly two

💩 They're ending episodes MID-CONVERSATION to simulate drama. Which I hate.

Overall

As a standalone game? 5/10? 6/10 if I'm being really generous?

Compared to earlier seasons? I don't know... a 3/10? It's really not the same game.

If it wasn't for the fandom/community, I would've given up already. I'm personally not that engaged by any of the LI's so far, but I'm sure that will change. God, look what happened to me when they introduced Bruno omg.

But I love the community and I'm looking forward to reading the fics that come out about the season. So I'd encourage you to play it anyway, even if it's just so you can do fix-its with us :)

Thank you for the ask!

SAUDADE

( 𝐧 . ) a nostalgic longing to be near again to something or someone that is distant , or that has been loved and then lost ; “ the love that remains ”

⠀a blur of brunette whirred past hajime's eyes as he walked to your room, his hands wringing in his pockets nervously. this was the same routine he'd been following for the past two weeks - ever since you were first admitted into the hospital in your comatose state. the sight of you unconscious in the middle of the road was a vision he never wanted to see nor experience ever again; he'd do everything in his power to prevent it from happening again.

⠀everything was in a blur as he ran to your side after the accident, the car that committed the hit-and-run already long gone. his hands shook uncontrollably as he picked you up in his arms effortlessly, watching your eyes flutter in an effort to stay conscious.

⠀"y/n," he breathed shakily, his bridal style around you clenching as his steps moved faster and faster into a slow sprint, his shoulder checking into the doors leading into the school you had just exited moments ago. "stay with me. you're going to be alright. you're a strong, girl, you hear me?"

⠀"i-iwaizumi," was the only reply you had enough strength to mutter.

⠀none of the third years expected to see you, bleeding and half unconscious in iwaizumi's arms.

⠀"hanamaki," the ace barked, "call the ambulance. now."

⠀there were no further words shared as the light-haired male nodded hastily, his hands fumbling to find his cellphone, running out of aoba johsai to call for the hospital quickly.

⠀"matsukawa, take y/n's things and bring them to her home. tell her family what happened, and that we've already got an ambulance on the way. you remember where she lives, right?" iwa's jaw clenched as mattsun snapped out of his trance, still trying to grasp the sight before him. "right, matsukawa?"

⠀"y-yeah, iwaizumi. i'll go." he swallowed a nervous lump as he lumped all of your belongings into your bag. "y/n, please be okay." he could only look upon your weakened figure with eyes of pity, before taking his leave in a rush.

⠀"i... iwaizumi...?"

⠀"you." he had forgotten the captain's presence in the gym until his voice filled his ears, anger and resentment boiling his blood at high temperatures. his green eyes steeled over as he glared at your boyfriend, whose face had gone white at the sight of you in his arms. tooru reached a hand towards you, only to back up and flinch at the sound of hajime yelling at him.

⠀"you wanna know what the fuck i want you to do, oikawa?"

⠀hanamaki ran to the gym doors through iwa's peripheral vision, which meant the ambulance was coming soon. he turned to face his fellow third year once more, watching the fear in tooru's eyes wash over him like a disease.

⠀"don't you ever fucking step near y/n again."

⠀he stopped in surprise at the sight of your eyes blankly staring straight at the doorway he stood under; he noticed the grip your fingers held on your hospital bed sheets. too many words caught under his tongue as your look of unplaced fear turned to him. he didn't know how to start.

⠀"y/n?" whispered hajime, taking an easy, careful step in your direction. he didn't trust the lack of reaction in your eyes. "are you... alright?"

⠀he stopped in front of your hospital bed and took his hands out of his pockets, relaxing his posture to display peace. he waited for you to respond patiently; your eyes had wandered down to your hands, your monitors, slowly back up to look him in the eye. he wondered why you were taking so long to respond to just a simple question?

⠀"i'm sorry, really... i don't remember a thing."

⠀oh.

⠀that's why.

⠀"i scared the guy before by telling him the truth, i couldn't look at him long enough before he turned around and ran away... i don't want to scare you away, either." hajime pressed his lips together as you struggled to keep steady eye contact. "i don't remember anything, i swear. all i know, from what i heard, is that y/n is me."

⠀iwaizumi blinked at your words, as a way to process such information. he hadn't come to the hospital today and expected to greet you awake - and as a victim of amnesia, nonetheless. he wasn't scared, per se - his fists clenched when he realized you were describing oikawa as the wuss who ran away in his own selfishness. he shouldn't be surprised at this point. nothing was more obvious to hajime that tooru oikawa was a selfish bastard who didn't deserve to have you as his girlfriend.

⠀"hey." he reached forward and placed his hands on yours, his lips pursed as he felt the dryness of your skin on his palms. "you're not scaring me away. don't worry about that other guy, alright? he doesn't matter, if he didn't even care enough to stay. you've got me. your name is y/n - full name y/n l/n - that's correct. you're a third year at aoba johsai high school. the reason why you're in the hospital is because you were hit by a car."

⠀"that explains the pain i feel in my head..." your hands slowly moved from his, each index finger pressing against each of your temples. "i've had this sharp ringing in my head since i woke up."

⠀"you were hurt pretty badly, and it's a miracle you're in one piece." iwaizumi nodded, watching you press your temples with a quiet hiss from your lips. "i don't know your current medical condition, since i'm not your immediate family." when your eyes met his once more, he smiled. "but i'm really happy you're okay, y/n. even without your memories, you're a tough cookie. you'll get through it."

⠀for the first time today, your fear had dissipated from your body, a sense of comfort radiating from the mysterious boy clad in a school uniform. there were many questions floating in your thoughts, with no answers or conclusions to your problems. but watching him smile at you so kindly... you felt safe. white noise suffocated your thoughts, your memories; but with the feeling of someone's support, nothing felt more comforting in this present moment.

⠀"thank you." unsure of how to thank such generosity, you could only suffice with a simple bow of your head, since you couldn't really move much else in the confinement of your bed. "i feel guilty, for not remembering you, or your name. i can only assume we were good friends, right?"

⠀"...friends." the word dripped from hajime's tongue like poison, spitting it out with a bad aftertaste. even so, he covered such bitterness with another soothing grin. "i'd like to also believe we were good friends, great friends even, before your accident." he held a hand out for you. "my name is hajime. hajime iwaizumi. i'm your friend, and fellow third year at aoba johsai."

⠀iwaizumi sighed in relief as he watched you take his hand, and you two shook on it, the confusion in your eyes slowly disappearing with every passing second. "well then, iwaizumi, it's a pleasure to meet you... again."

⠀he pressed his lips firmly at the sound of his family name leaving your mouth, shaking his head subtly as he ruffled your hair gently with a gentle chuckle. "i'm afraid i have to leave soon, i've got a lot of homework to do, and i'm gonna tell the nurses that you were able to recover so quickly. i'll visit you tomorrow, so we'll talk some more tomorrow, alright?"

⠀you nodded. "yes. thank you again, iwaizumi. i'd be so lost without you."

⠀i'd be so lost without you.

⠀pride welled in his chest like a balloon, his hands sheepishly making way back into his dark beige pockets. damn right, he was going to be the one there for you, since a certain someone was too cowardly to do it himself. iwaizumi was going to preserve your smile, the happiness a person as beautiful as yourself was completely entitled to.

⠀hajime iwaizumi was going to be the one to give you the second chance you deserve. and he'll be damned if he ever let tooru oikawa dare to step foot near you and hurt you again.

⠀"don't mention it, y/n. ah, by the way, you can just call me hajime."

Thranduil x reader - Free Fall

Chapter one: The King

With one hand you held onto the saddle while the other ran over the smooth scales of your best friend. The pair of you were flying around a mountain peak, dark clouds rolled above you. Under you, your friend let out a grumble and tilted his head towards you, then to the ground below.

"What do you see bud?" You asked as you leaned forward, yelling slightly due to the wind.

Peaking down, you caught sight of a battle and frowned before grinning.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?”

The dragon below you hummed and flapped his wings as he begun to arch himself down. You flipped your mask down and placed both hands firmly on the saddles handles.

"Let's go, Toothless! Gandalf said something about finding the heirs of Durin in that tower over there."

Slightly the pair of you flew over the battle field, heading towards a tall tower. You could make out figures standing on the top, an ugly one held a much smaller blond male with a sword to his throat.

"He looks like one of the men Gandalf described!" Patting toothless You smirked, "let's go!"

Toothless brought his wings in and dived straight down, a loud whistling made everyone look up, and once you were close enough you jumped of your friend, toothless disappeared behind the tower just as the orc pushed the blond and turned his attention to you as you hit the floor rolling.

"Get her!" He barked.

Orcs came running at you but you were to quick, you smaller frame ducking under them and slashing their legs and arms with your sword before sending the final blow. In your distraction however, the leader got away.

"Put me down you damned beast!!" You heard a male shout.

"Fili!"

Heavy boots pounded up the stairs towards you and a dark haired man appeared, he seemed to be not much smaller than you. He was searching frantically and froze when toothless climbed up with the blond dwarf clutched in his between his teeth. He made a happy a noise as he spotted you.

"You caught him!" You cheered, "Put him down gently."

Toothless did as you asked and gently placed the dwarf down on his feet before dropping down onto his legs and walking over to you, nudging your side. His green eyes bore into yours before he walked around for you to climb on, which is what you did.

"Lets go bud." You whispered.

Before the two princes could say anything you shot into the sky and disappeared.

You were circling the tower when you spotted the king under the mountain on his back, sword blocking another orcs. You gave Toothless a command and two swooped down. Just as the king dropped his sword, the orc was shot off him by a purple blast and then picked up by a large black, scaly foot. He was too shocked to say anything.

"Over there!" You shouted.

You spotted the dark haired prince in the arms of an orc as a red haired woman laid near the drop off point with horror on her face, blood gushing from a cut on her temple. Gently toothless placed the king down by his blonde nephew on the stairs as you jumped of his back and turned to your companion. Hand on his snout you smiled. The orc was too busy with the red head and the dwarf that he hadn't noticed your presence some how.

"When I say, grab the orc, throw him down the tower and I'll get the dwarf."

Toothless grumbled and got into position as you crept closer. A little bit more and...

"NOW!" You yelled.

The orc spun around, his shoulder were roughly grabbed and before the dwarf his the floor you stopped his impact falling down with him.

"KILI!" Three voices yelled.

The elleth fell down on her knees beside Kili, her fiery hair blocking his face from the view of the king and his nephew, who had joined you on the plateau. Tears of relief tracked a path through the blood and grime on the elleth's cheeks, and then landed on the man she was leaned over.

Footsteps echoed through the narrow passageway in front of you. You were ready to pull your sword once again when you realised they were light as a feather, the only thing that caused them being the metal which they were seemingly protected by.

It caught the attention of everyone who surrounded the injured dwarf not much later, and all eyes were on the figure appearing in the opening of the cave system.

The crown on his head gave away his status as someone important. His silver hair that framed his face was more like the colour of the white flowers of mourning than like moonlight. Little did you know at the time that that was exactly how you were going to remember this moment in the future, and that you would be thinking about it more times than you cared to admit.

His armour, slightly splattered with black blood, was too silver to be called gunmetal, but did not compare to his hair by any means.

Your eyes trailed up from his armour to his face, expecting to find the cold eyes of a King in battle, but what you saw surprised you.

"Aran nin.." The elleth rose to her feet and bowed before her King.

"You really love him?" The King asked.

"I.. I do."

He nodded, seemingly satisfied with the answer, and turned to you. The kindness that had been in his eyes was replaced by a questioning expression, to your disdain it made you feel small. The other king also stood up and limped over. He placed a hand on your shoulder and searched your (E/C) eyes.

"You saved him..." he breathed, "you saved us all. I am forever grateful to you. I am king Thorin, those are my nephews Fili and Kili. As repayment for what you have done, you shall forever be welcome in the halls of Erebor. You and your friend."

Flicking your mask up, you smiled lightly at him. Bowed and then stood back up.

"I'm just doing a friend a favour. Gandalf called for us."

"He did?"

"Yup, he knew I was coming around the mountain anyhow."

Thorin nodded and turned to face the white haired king. He gazed back just as intently.

"Thranduil." Thorin sneered.

"Dwarf." Thranduil sneered back.

They stared and you stepped back awkwardly, smiling as a familiar shadow fell over you, but that smile was quickly gone when Thranduil pulled out his sword.

"Tauriel, arm yourself." He ordered.

The red head turned to him and back to you. Quickly you climbed up the stairs and in front of toothless the best you could and held your arms out wide.

"Don't hurt him! He's my friend!" You pleaded.

"Friend?!" Thranduil sneered, "that is a wild beast who will fall by my hand!"

"Go! We'll handle the elf!" Thorin yelled.

You quickly nodded and swung yourself onto toothless who quickly took off before anyone could stop you, and as fast as lightening you flew away, unsure of where you wanted to go next
