Recap-

Kavir had sensed my emotions and had caught up to me by now. I was on his back, out of sight. Crying.

:: Thank you, Kavir. :: I said through quiet sobs.
He rumbled a thanks.
:: Everyone's gone. Everyone. How about the Dragons? Can you sense any? ::
:: None, little one. We're the only ones. ::
:: We should head to Rivendell, we'll be safe their. ::
He nodded :: Good plan, Adisa. ::

It took two days to get to Rivendell. I saw Lord Elrond only a handful of times. I was hoping beyond hope that we would be welcome. If we weren't, the next choice would be Lothlórien.

The more I thought on what happened... The more I loathed Dwarves. I trusted them.
'How could they!?'
All because I had magic. They killed my family, my Kin over that. And attacked my city because of a Fire Drake, who had nothing to do with us.

:: calm, Adisa. We will soon be entering Rivendell. ::
I nodded. :: Your right, Kavir. Entering being angry wont look good. ::

And sure enough, we entered Rivendell's borders minutes later. It was quite a sight from the sky.

Kavir landed on the round platform, barely fitting before taking off and landing on the grass where he was much more comfortable.

I was greeted by Lord Elrond shortly after. How can an elf not see a Aurelian Dragon when they don't want to be missed?

"Mae govannen, Adisa. Ya tulu imlë ana Imladris?" *Well Met, Adisa. What brings you to Imladris?*

"Ai, Lord Elrond. Ngwë pen tul anya lma Taras nánë dringa ar Tul Naucos va Erebras undu Thrór's heren. Ito danc illi." *Hail, Lord Elrond. We have come because our City was attacked by The Dwarves of Erebor under Thrór's orders. They killed all.*

Lord Elrond put a hand on my shoulder. "I, am sorry to hear that, child. May your people and brother rest in peace."
"Thank you, Lord Elrond." ... I looked to Kavir. "May we stay here?"
"Yes, of course. Your parents were great friends of mine. I'll take you in as my ward. Stay until you see fit."
"I...may need to make a saddle for Kavir."
"My people can easily do that, this you should know."
I nodded my head in thanks.
"Come, I'll show you to your room. I'm sure your tired. Kavir will be well taken care of."

Reaching my new room, I found it spacious and airy. Looking in the wardrobe I took out a red dress and set it on the bed to change into after a bath.

I felt.... Empty. I still had Kavir. And now I was Lord Elrond's ward, but I had lost my race. My family. In one night.
Thats all it took. One. Night. I vowed to myself, to never trust Dwarves again. It cost me nearly everything.

From here on out, I will train so I can protect both Kavir and I. Nothing will harm us.

After my bath, I looked around Rivendell. It was beautiful like always. However, I didn't fit in.
People here were joyous, happy. I was the opposite. Holding rage, anger, wanting revenge.

And I'll be damned if I wont get it.

I trained day and night, with magic and sword until I was exhausted. Kavir watched from the distance, keeping constant watch on me, this I knew. When it came down to it...we had each other. Yes, Lord Elrond was there for us, as was his Kin but Kavir and I had a bond. A life-long bond. We understood one another better then anyone else could.

We'd been here nearly a month and it was Fall, Lord Elrond had seen me training, and deemed it time to gift me a dagger. It wasn't of Elven style. It was of the style of my Kin.

I looked up at him, teary eyed as I pulled it from it's sheath. "Thank you, Lord Elrond. This means more to me then you can imagine." I could see my reflection in the dagger.
He pulled me into a hug after I sheathed the dagger. "I know you've lost a lot, child. You deserve to have something as a reminder of your people."
I nodded.

"Now, I shall let you get some sleep. It is late."
"Good night, Lord Elrond."
He tilted his head in farewell.

I told Kavir what had happened over the Link we shared, he thought it was heart warming.

Soon, I took a bath and got ready for another long pain filled day full of memories.
