“My son is the Heir to the Lonely Mountain,” she said. “He is a worthy ruler. And he will prevail against this force. Do you doubt him?” she added fiercely when Gimli looked like he might argue. “Have faith in my sons, as I do.” Her face was pale and grim, but her voice was steady. “Azog will rue the day he set himself again the Line of Durin.”
DIS!!!! *hearts her* But oh, Fili and Kili! *wibbles*
“Three horses. Three of us must travel light to get to this Anin and warn them. The rest of you will hurry and cross the road ahead of the army to avoid detection, for it will take days for it to pass by--precious days we cannot waste in tarrying.” He looked around the group. “I shall go to tend the horses and encourage them to greater speed. And with me--Forgive me, but dwarves are no good with horses. Wizard, will the dwarves believe your warning?”Oh, ( ... )

I know, I'm really worried about them! Must...write...Appendix...
Oh, Theoden! And oh, the Fellowship is breaking already...
At least temporarily! (Frankly, writing ten characters all the time was killing me and I needed a break, so it was a relief, lol!)
*grin* Gimli being dubious that he'd travel West is--well, it's very in character but it's also a little ironic and I didn't realize that until now!

Meeep! And THORIN.
he felt the star pin he had made Bilbo catch between his fingers, the points jabbing into the palm of his hand,
Oh, oh, and I just love how it's the star brooch that saves Bilbo!
In that glimpse he saw Estel, Arwen, and Denethor blocking the path of the Nazgûl, standing shoulder to shoulder. He saw Estel lift a blade high above his head, and realized it was the sword Arwen had been carrying. The Ringwraiths shrieked and reined their horses back for an instant, milling around, their empty gazes fixed on the sword.
Meeep! Oh, Aragorn! *hearts him*
“Bilbo!” he screamed as he ran, the wind catching his voice and snatching it away, “Take it off! Take off the Ring! Bilbo!” At some point Bilbo must have come to some kind of consciousness, because ( ... )

I realized a little bit ago I had forgotten to mention it recently! But I'm sure Thorin is often comforted by it, and now it's helped him save Bilbo, which I really was happy with...
Meeep! Oh, Aragorn! *hearts him*
It's a bit like Aragorn deliberately taking the palantir or assailing the Black Gate to distract Sauron--I find it fascinating how often in the canon he uses his status as a red herring to distract other people and let Frodo get further on his quest!
One advantage to the Avari is that they have no love for Ringwraiths either, muahaha... But I'm not sure yet how Gimli and Dis and Thorin get through! They're certainly the most at risk of the fellowship...

“--No,” said Dís. She was gazing north toward Erebor, the wind in her silver-black hair. “My son is the Heir to the Lonely Mountain,” she said. “He is a worthy ruler. And he will prevail against this force. Do you doubt him?” she added fiercely when Gimli looked like he might argue. “Have faith in my sons, as I do.” Her face was pale and grim, but her voice was steady. “Azog will rue the day he set himself again the Line of Durin.”
AWWWW Dís. *hugs her*
Legolas laughed, looking down from his horse. “You shall have to learn to tolerate it, master dwarf. We shall not let Dale and Erebor burn just to confirm your bad opinion of us.”

“We are already avoiding an entire army of orcs and Easterners!” snorted Gimli. “Could there be anything worse?”
“Yes,” said Estel shortly. He picked up the baggage that Théoden had dropped to the ground. “Let us make haste.”
*shivers*
They trudged on, trying to ( ... )

I love the idea that she would have faith in her sons as warriors! But I'm still worried about them...
It was really hard to write the chase scene so it made sense, lol! I really hope it did!
I'm very eager to write the next chapter as well, lol! I need to find out what happens to them too! :)
