Dimitri managed to sneak past the fortress and cross the Fords of Isen. Edoras was another week of walking ahead unless he stole a horse. He heard a couple nickers from the stable at the fortress. It seemed to be manned by a single guard who carried a torch around.

"I mostly live in the Military Quarters. I don't have an underground house since there is no point in getting one without a family. Come with me," Thrak said to his son, seeing the King and stating to him, "May I take some time for a reunion with my son, my lord?"
"Of course," Thorin said, letting them pass out of the high altitude training field.
Thrak helped Thoruk along to the Military Quarters which consisted of about ten thousand rooms and cabins built into the natural delving caves of the Lonely Mountain. Torches lit the way and fountains of silver poured natural streams of water forth. It was an architectural wonder of the world, this city. Erebor. Such beauty and splendor yet, Thoruk was missing it as he fell asleep. He has transformed once, used his electrical powers multiple times and had no rested in many days. Thrak took him into a room and laid him down on a bed of cotton wool blankets and silky sheets, before snuffing out the firelight, shutting the door and letting his son sleep.
Thoruk awoke ten hours later, dehydrated and hungry. Water was laid out in a bowl on the bedside table and a tray of bacon, eggs and onions was placed next to it.

The men exploded like fruits in Grimnir's palms, the blood and guts in their bodies pouring out of their orifices. It was bloody disgusting but a part of Grimnir enjoyed it. He found no available boulders laying about and the bandits that ran disappeared into the forests. Five men lay dead at his feet. He saw something. No, some people. Ahead on the road, walking towards him. Two women. One was wearing blue armor and had jet black raven hair, she was exceptionally tall for one though. Grimnir couldn't tell. Her companion was a female with red hair who was shorter than her and seemed to be pale.
"Hello, there!" The raven-haired woman called up to him, "If you would be so kind to remove yourself from that nasty little thing and come down here for a chat, that'd be nice." They seemed completely nonchalant considering Grimnir was a fifteen meter tall Giant who had just killed a couple of men.

Cardiloc passed over the White Mountains and flew through the white clouds. The entire trip was noisy with Ela asking various questions to Card about the dragon, about the skies, about the mountains, the seas, the outside world, its people, everything.
"Where are we going, Card?" She continued to pester him like a curious child would.
Ha'zi had to endure her yapping, though it was a bit cute, the Haradrim boy had once been like her. So full of awe, curiosity, and questions. The world was a beautiful, cruel place. And this little girl. This sweet little thing. She would not experience a fraction of it if they failed to stop Morgoth.
