[That evening]

You camp on a hilltop in the evening. Everyone gets into their own blanket and goes to sleep.

Thorin stays awake longer than even you, surprisingly.

{Dream} You hear drums beating boom, boom, you open your eyes and gasp. You see your home surrounded by Orcs and trolls, all of your people dying around you but you can't move, only watch. Then you see Him, Sauron, you feel defenseless, hopeless, and powerless. He starts to speak to you "Hello my child, you were meant for greatness, you can still be great, you can help me rule Middle Earth." He says in a soothing tone, suddenly you aren't in your house anymore you were in Barad Dúr itself. Sauron continues to speak and you feel a growing urge to help him. Then as a last effort you shout as loud as you can "Sauron, Narv- min Udún!" [Sauron, Burn in Hell!]. Then Sauron grabs you neck and begins to choke you, you struggle and just as you feel the life go out of you.....

You gasp for breath, realizing it was only a dream you run off into the wood below, to gather your thoughts. Here you find a small lake and sitting beside it you cry. After crying for about half an hour, you hear footsteps behind you. You swing round and draw your blades at the person's neck, only to realize its Thorin.

"Are you okay Naur?" he asks soothingly seeing your tears,

"Yes, I'm fine." You say while wiping away the tears,

"Are you sure? I saw you struggling in your sleep, and it takes some doing to make an elf cry." He asks truly worried,

"I said, I am fine!!!" you snap, and just as you say that he sees the laceration marks on your neck,

"You are not fine. What happened to you? You have to tell me." Thorin frowns,

"It was just a dream." You sigh,

"A dream, maybe, but someone very powerful has to have been inside that dream to make real life damage." Thorin says,

"I guess there is no way I can get out of this then?" you sigh,

"No, none at all, tell me what happened." He says earnestly,

You sigh again and then tell him your dream, "And so Sauron tried to strangle me...."

"So you are a Queen? Of what kingdom?" Thorin pushed,

"Yes, I am a queen. I cannot tell you of my kingdom yet.... only the people I trust the most know even know that I am a queen, never mind my know about my kingdom. Only Gandalf..." you trailed off,

Thorin just frowned, "Come, we have to get Ori to treat these wounds."

"No!!! Thorin, I can't, they will want a story about how it happened...." but before you could finish Thorin cut you off,

"NO, you will come and get healed! I may have not liked you coming with us at all, but once you are a part of the company... we take care of our own. I will tell them not to ask questions." Thorin was surprised that those words just came out his mouth. Who was he defending, an elf?

You just sigh and walk up the hill with Thorin. Just as you get to the top of the hill you both hear orc cries below you. You walk to the fire in the middle of the hill top to hear Fili and Kili teasing Bilbo, "....they'll be dozens of them out there; they attack in the wee hours on the night when everyone's asleep, quick and quiet no screams, just lots of blood." They giggled behind Bilbo, who was frozen in fear.

"You think a night raid by Orcs is a joke?" Thorin growls,

"Sorry uncle we didn't mean anyth....." Thorin cut them off before they could finish, "You know nothing of the world." He says before walking with you to Ori, after that he walks to the edge of the hill top and looks into the distance.

"Ori, can you please take care of Naur, she was attacked don't tell anyone else or ask her any questions. Is that clear?" Thorin says threateningly.

"Of course, of course, now... let's see..... BY DURIN'S BANE...!" Ori gasps. He quickly puts some poultice on your neck and tells you to rest. While this was happening Balin tells the story of Thorin's battle with Azog in Moria. They all listen to Balin's story comfortable in the knowledge that the Orcs won't attack them as they are most likely just scouts.

You all but the watch sleep soundly till morning.
