    Summary

    Dwarves were strange creatures. Bilbo had thought that often enough for it to be a statement of fact rather than a passing observation. He didn’t suppose he’d ever quite grasp the call of gold and jewels or of heavy weaponry. Then again, dwarves didn’t quite understand why he and other hobbits held such a fondness for the sun and things grown in the ground so perhaps hobbits were just as strange.

    Durin's Day celebrations don't quite turn how Bilbo expected, a few months later, it gets infinitely worse.

    Summary

    'How did it come to this?' Bilbo asked himself as he raised Sting once more, panting from exertion and fever as he fended off the orc's blow... arms trembling from the effort.

    Had he managed to make it all this way only to be cut down just as the lonely mountain finally came into view? Glancing toward the tree where he knew his small charges to be hiding the lone hobbit summoned what was left of his strength and raced forward... a battle cry wrenched itself from his sore throat as his letter opener collided with his opponent’s weapons. If this was how he was going to die then so be it, but he would take as many of the enemy with him as possible! He would protect these children with every ounce of strength that remained in his body, even if it was the last thing he did!

    "I'm sorry, Thorin. It looks like I won't be able to apologize after all." With that final thought Bilbo redoubled his efforts, unaware that help was on it's way.
