“Then Bard drew his bow-string to his ear. The dragon was circling back, flying low, and as he came the moon rose above the eastern shore and silvered his great wings. ‘Arrow!’ said the bowman. ‘Black Arrow! I have saved you to the last. You have never failed me and always I have recovered you. I had you from my father and he from of old. If ever you came from the forges of the true king under the Mountain, go now and speed well!’”

Temporary HIATUS

[ofblackarrows]

I’m sorry I am so inactive again after only coming back a while ago! I need to put this blog back on temporary hiatus, due to an immense lack of time for the amount of blogs I have AND the incredible amount of stuff I have to do for my university studies this semester!

If anyone wants to find me on other blogs, come look for me on my current main blog @wehaveorders! <3 See you soon, I hope!

(I have full intention of continuing the threads in my drafts, but I am not mad at anyone if you want to drop what we started! I’ll contact you all upon my return!)

“Da…?” Sigrid quickened her pace a little to catch up to where her father walked at the front, glancing quickly backwards to make sure Bain and Tilda were not trying to catch up with her. 

Voice low so only he could hear her, Sigrid looked up at him.  “Da…What will we do even when we reach Dale? The city lies in ruins, how much shelter do you think we will find there?” 

[ofblackarrows]

Bard had been so deep in thought his daughter’s words caught him off guard. He looked at her, the concern in her voice making his heart ache. He remembered the day he had first held her in his arms, nothing but a little baby she had been back then, and the things he had sworn to her that day. To protect her from harm and sadness, to ensure her life would be one of joy and not of fear - to think of it now and know how much he had failed at it hurt. After quickly throwing a glance back at the other two, he turned back to his eldest, forcing his voice to be strong but quiet in his answer.

     ❝ ---Yes, the city lies in ruins, but these ruins may still give us more shelter than the      wild. There will be buildings left we can sure up and restore enough to protect us from      the cold and the rain. We need to see if Thorin Oakenshield and his company have      made it to the mountain.. If the dwarves have reclaimed their kingdom, with their      help we can see to it that Dale may be a home for our people once more. ❞

there is a peal of laughter that bubbles at his words of praise. it seemed so strange to receive them from someone that was deemed a HERO for his brave acts. ❝  there is no debt to pay, dragon slayer.  ❞ but she does not miss his last request, offering it fully with a soft bow of her head.

          ❝  i am tauriel—— 

          and you, you’re children have already spoken highly of you. i feel as if i already           know much more than i had been granted to know.  ❞

          ❝ Tauriel - a name I shall remember. Call it a favor then; keep it in mind,      perhaps the day will come where I will get my chance to repay your kindness. ❞      On the spot he couldn’t think of a scenario in which he could be of any help to the      elf, but the future held many secrets a man never dreamed to imagine.

     ❝ I have no secrets to hide. My children, they are by far my greatest achievement      in this life. Do you have a family yourself? ---Forgive me, if the question is      misplaced. I have come to find it difficult to guess the right age when it comes to      your people. You look like a young woman, but I would not be surprised to learn      you are many times my age older than me. ❞

                    “ I long for the day when men turn away from INVISIBLE MONSTERS and once more embrace a more rational view of the world. But these new religions are so convenient - and promise such TERRIBLE punishment should one reject them - I worry that fear shall keep us stuck to what is surely the greatest LIE ever told.——————-

          ————-Our lives are so brief and UNIMPORTANT. The cosmos cares nothing for us. For what we’ve done; Had we wrought evil instead of good. Had I chosen to ABUSE the Apple instead of seal it away. None of it would have mattered. There is no counting. No reckoning. No final judgement. There is simply silence. And darkness. Utter and ABSOLUTE.

‘The lake roared in. A vast steam leapt up, white in the sudden dark under the moon. There was a hiss, a gushing whirl, and then silence. And that was the end of Smaug and Esgaroth, but not of Bard.’
