The rest of the company's stay in Rivendell was lived without Enya, and even though Kili searched high and low for her, he was unable to find her. So, two or so weeks into their venture of the Misty Mountain's he'd finally come to terms with the fact that he may never see her again.

Most of the time his mind had been preoccupied with staying alive, especially the last few days as they were travelling over a particularly nasty patch of terrain of the Mountains and fighting an extortionate amount of rain, paired with a close shave with two battling stone giants. So, as you could imagine, Enya hadn't had much opportunity to fill his thoughts, which was strange, bearing in mind he was now running for his life through Goblin-Town and for some reason she was all he could thing about.

"Kili! Watch out!" He heard his brother's voice crack like a whip through the thickness of Goblin screams and Dwarven yells. Alerted, Kili turned just in time to block a Goblin's strike down with a club, which was aimed for his head.

He growled and grunted as he fought against the particularly burly looking Goblin, and he only managed it when Enya popped into his head and gave him a boost of energy to push the Goblin back and slice its throat with the tip of his sword.

He wasn't going to die in this forsaken excuse for a Town, because he was going to finish this quest, and then he was going to find his Pixie. He's snatch her up in a jar if he had to, but that little nipper had made such an effect on him he couldn't quite shake her off.

Suddenly, something went whizzing past Kili's head so close that it caught a few hairs and grazed his ear. His eyes immediately found the weapon embedded into a Goblin that had unbeknownst to him been advancing on him behind his back. As the company were on the move, he barely had a chance to exam the weapon, but it was bright purple, circular in shape with spiked outer edges. Whatever it was began to shake, but Kili had already moved away and missed it dislodge itself from the Goblin's neck and whizz back to its owner.

Gandalf had turned back though just in time to see a slash of bright purple zoom back into the shadowed walls and he smiled to himself.

.

They were all exhausted, and Kili was still winded from the Goblin King landing on him, but he hadn't had time to recover before Dwalin had pulled him from the rubble of the bridge and yelled at him to start running. So, of course, knowing that thousands of Goblins were advancing towards them he ran some more, and some more, and some more. The whole company followed Gandalf as he led them through a narrow network of caves and tunnels, and he was beginning to wonder if the Wizard actually knew where he was going.

"Gandalf!" Dori called before Kili had the chance to, "Do you know where you are going?" He sounded as exhausted as the rest of them, and Kili couldn't help but appreciate that he hadn't been the one to use more precious energy by shouting at the Wizard.

Gandalf didn't reply from the front, and in fact he looked as though he was beginning to slow. He was lost. The networks had changed and as soon as he thought they were on the right track something would be different, and he'd be back at square one.

Then, just as he was about to turn left with a hunch, something green flashed down a tunnel to his right.

"This way!" He called, running all over again with more energy. The rest of the company picked up pace to follow the Wizard, as Gandalf followed the glowing green light until…

"I see a light!" One of the Dwarves called, and immediately they all sped up with the last of their dwindling energy.

Left, then right, then left again, and then the passage before them opened out into the late evening sun.

There was a slope, and they all kept running until they were all well away from the mouth of the cave.

"We did it." Exclaimed Gloin, punching Dwalin on the shoulder.

"How did you know the way out?" Balin asked Gandalf, coming up to stand before him, still panting a little, "To be honest, for a moment there I thought you had us lost."

Gandalf smiled one of his knowing smiles, "We were lost," He replied, and then his eyes trailed behind Balin, "And I didn't know the way out."

"Then who did?" Asked Ori, just as the rest of the company each followed Gandalf's gaze.

Ori's question went unanswered, as it didn't need to be, because there, sitting on a rock a little further down the slope from the company sat a woman with her knees up to her chest and large, black eyes watching them carefully.

After a few long minutes, Kili was the first one to step forward, mouth slightly open in disbelief, "Enya?"

Immediately, those large black eyes flew to Kili, and the girl slipped off the rock without hesitation.

Her hair was the colour of autumn in deep reds, golden yellows, and dusty oranges, and her onyx black eyes sparkled like they were filled with thousands of tiny diamonds. She was tiny too, smaller than Balin by a few inches and dressed in a standard white tunic, dark, leaf green sweatshirt and dark brown trousers. She wasn't wearing shoes on her feet, instead she wore what looked like strips of canvas wrapped around from toes to ankle, and separated her big toe from the rest of her toes. When she stood straight, her feet pointed inwards, like she was pigeon toed.

And there, strapped one to each hip, was a pair of bright purple chakram's.

"Enya." Kili repeated under his breath as he realised, moving even closer to the female. The rest of the company watched in silence as Kili stood before her, gazing down into the cosmic eyes of the pixie they'd seen a few weeks ago standing no bigger than a fist, and yet, there she was, just over a head shorter than Kili and staring up at him with that inquisitive gaze. He was so close to her, he could see that along her cheek bone little gold dots, like little lights, decorated her features and trailed up and around the side of her face, around her brow.

"Am I big enough?" She asked softly, and Kili couldn't help but grin at her, he grabbed her and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Yes, you're big enough!" He exclaimed in a laugh, letting one hand tangle into that thick, glistening hair, and the other hold her tightly around her shoulders. "I thought I was never going to see you again." He then pulled away and held her at arm's length, peering down at her. "How?" He furrowed his brow, but still grinning.

Enya blinked up at him for a moment before looking around him to peer at the rest of the company, "You all look so funny this size." She replied, ignoring Kili's question. Her eyes flickered back to Kili, "It's like a whole different world up here." She then stood on the tips of her toes and grinned so broadly the corners of her mouth could have touched her long, pointed ears. Kili also noticed that her Canines were pointed too.

No wonder her bites hurt so much.

Enya then peered around Kili again and spotted Thorin. He looked totally different now she was more his size. Her grin didn't falter when she called to him, "Am I still too small?"

Thorin looked surprised and somewhat bewildered that the little glowing blob had turned into a rather attractive, young… Well, whatever she was.

Enya then turned back to Kili. "You look so different." She told him, staring up at his muddy brown eyes and lopsided grin. His hair was its usual mess and her heart sank a little when she realised she wasn't going to be able to curl up in it anymore.

She then frowned.

"What's wrong?" Kili asked, and his face changed to… was that worry?

Enya found all these mannerisms highly peculiar. But she didn't answer, and instead she dived her hand into his breast pocket and grabbed at the lining.

Kili then laughed, "You're too big to fit in there now." He said to her, eyes sparkling as he watched her start fiddling with the front of his coat. His heart rate began to quicken a little when she opened it up to look at the inside of it, and his smile faltered a little when his breath hitched.

Enya moved her fingers from the fastenings on Kili's coat, and instead raised her index finger to trail it along one of the patterns on his tunic, over his chest.

Kili quickly flinched and grabbed her wrist to stop her, "Okay, okay, that's enough exploring." He laughed again, but it made Enya frown. It didn't sound like his laugh before. Kili pulled her wrist again and forced her into motion, guiding her back to the rest of the company.

"Finally, Balin, you're not the smallest anymore." Laughed Bofur when Enya wriggled away from Kili and wandered over towards the older Dwarf to inspect his whiter than white beard.

Balin chuckled, swatting Enya away when she pulled lightly on his beard. "I believe master Baggins is smaller than me…" He then trailed off, looking around for the Hobbit, "Wherever he may be…"

"Where is our Burglar?" Demanded Thorin, glaring up at Gandalf.

Gandalf looked as puzzled as the rest of them as he did a quick head count, before letting his eyes trail to Enya.

Enya caught his gaze and spun around to look for him, but only to catch Kili's gaze.

"What is it?" She asked, blinking at him.

Kili shook his head, grinning all over again, "I just can't believe it's really you." He said to her softly, his eyes momentarily shifting to Thorin who was rambling about how Bilbo had obviously deserted them.

Enya furrowed her brow, "But it has always been me," She paused, and then grinned, "Kili."
