I apologize for being late but here is the last chapter!


The heir opened his eyes to see well…nothing. He blinked twice to see if his mind was playing tricks but it was the same, black. Even rubbing his eyes somehow proved that he was not blindfolded nor was he vision-less.

But what really had astounded the boy was the pain…there wasn't any. Because of this he stood up easily turn to see where he was, however the darkness was endless.

"I can't even see my own hand!" he exclaimed trying to search for it.

"Not only that I can't see what I am standing on or I am just floating in mid-air?"

A thought pressed his mind that caused his heart to beat extremely fast.

"Oh no what if…what if I am already dead!"

Shaking his head, Fili refused to believe that his spirit is at Aule's hall. Although he hopes this is not the afterlife created for dwarves, for it doesn't look like a place a spirit would want to rest for eternity.

Suddenly Fili snapped his head towards the right. What he assumes is the right anyway.

A whimpering voice that he knows very deeply that is striking his very soul.

"Kili"

With no other option Fili ran. He wasn't sure where he was going. The prince could be running around in circles either way he wouldn't stop.

Kili was calling him. Fili didn't care if his throat was parched or his heart was beating out of his chest.

His brother was now screaming for him. His legs will not stop until he finds him.

Blue eyes shined when a dim light rapidly existed just a few feet away.

Kili voice was powerful, every word could be heard.

"Fili please! Please don't die!"

Energy rose in oldest nephew's body. He is not dead nor will he died.

He will live!

Live for his little brother, his beloved uncle, everyone who is precious to him.

"KILI!"

Fili jumped into the light that had enclosed his entire body. The light began disappearing, smaller and smaller before vanishing from the darkness with Fili.

A frightening gasp shocked everyone.

Fili's eyes had burst opened; a long inhale escaped his throat like he had not breathed in ages.

Tears ran down Kili's face when his hand grabbed his. Gently Fili was seized into a hug.

"You…you came back"

The pain had returned but hugs his brother nonetheless. He then caught the statement.

"What do you mean I came back? You make it sound like I have passed away and returned".

It was supposed to be a joke, however the turn heads, the watery eyes proved another theory.

"Fili you did died"

A frozen wall crashed down on to his body. Are his ears damaged or did he just hear Kili correctly?"

A hand on his unharmed shoulder startled him. Thorin's face crouched down opposite him. A deep breath came from his uncle throat.

"I'm afraid it is true Fili you had died and somehow return". His uncle voice was breaking knowing that is nephew and heir had indeed succumbed, even if it was for a few minutes.

Moving his face up and down like a fish out of water, Fili didn't know what he could say to this predicament.

"How…How is that possible?"

"That my dear Fili I can answer"

Gandalf swiftly stood near Fili about to answer his question when Thorin interrupted.

"Where is Mahal's hell have you wonder off to?"

"I had a little errand to run" he shrugged not bothered at all by the thunderous glare the king was sending him.

The wizard kneels down in front of Fili, and placed a hand on his heart.

Satisfactory spread across the man face, as he stood in a standing position.

"It seems that someone was pulling your spirit away from heaven"

Confusion was seen clearly on the blonde's face.

"A voice, so deeply recognizable allowed you soul to entwine back inside your body. I wonder who is powerful enough to create such a thing that has never occurred in middle-earth history."

The prince smiled whispering it must be a miracle.

"It was you that bought me back Kili".

A wide-spread smile beamed its way over Kili's face.

"I did? I kept on calling because…"

Kili didn't continue. The grinned was replaced with sorrow about the tragic event that had established less than five minutes ago.

The blonde prince did not need an answer; he placed an arm around his brother squeezing him for comfort.

"I said it before but I mean it this time I am alright"

Keeping a hold on each other then released to see Oin coming over with his arms crossed.

"Fili I do believe you have some explaining to do"

He felt like he was a child again being caught climbing the tree without permission.

"I am not sure what you are talking about?" looking up at the older dwarf who rolled his eyes.

"The scars on your chest became infected Fili, you was poisoned. Your fever was very high, you was sweating buckets load and you would not stop moving. It took four of us to hold you down. But then…"

Oin paused; Thorin kept his emotions in tact taking over.

"Your heart stopped Fili, you suddenly became so still, we believe the poisoned had erupted your whole body. You just…"

Thorin started to crumpled slightly.

Shame spilled Fili's stomach on what he had done to his team members. This shouldn't have happened if only he had paid more attention to himself.

How can he be the King of Erebor if he allows his own family to suffer?

If he fails to correct his mistakes, his own stubbornness will severely be his downfall.

"I'm sorry".

It was a whispered but everyone heard it.

Fili stared intently up at his uncle, his king.

"I do apologize for what had occurred. Uncle as the heir to the line of Durin, I was foolish for not placing my trust in my comrades. I promise you it will not happened again. I swear on our ancestors that when I am king I will protect all our people".

No words were spoken, only the silence wind echoed the cave.

Fili eyes never left Thorin. The determination, the admiration when looking up at the King under the mountain felt Thorin's heart fluttering.

"I will make you proud!"

All the eyes were on the two Durins, no words exchanged only looks from their faces.

"Fili" said Kili a whole new respect for his brother.

It was hard to surprise the king but Fili's outburst. His heart had never felt so warm until now.

The dwarf king brought a hand to rest on Fili's left cheek.

"I had never once thought that my heir would be a disappointment. I always believe that my nephew would be a magnificent king. We all make bloomers, the best is to learn and improve our abilities to make sure it never happens again".

A new light shined in Fili's eyes, the loved and loyalty for his king grew.

"I am very proud of your Fili"

A very bright smile was seen upon the boy's face. He hugged Thorin who tenderly put his arms around Fili's back careful of his wounds.

As Thorin finished and got up he looked at both his nephews.

"And one more thing, if both of you don't tell me that you are hurt and have been poison, I'll see to it that Dwalin triples the training to a more practical advance. Am I clear?"

The two brothers are now huddled together mutely they nodded at the uncle's threat.

He chuckled before going telling them to rest.

Most of the team have healed. Bombour was starting dinner with the help of Bifur.

Oin and his brother Gloin have settled together just outside having a conversation to themselves.

Our little Bilbo is being teased by Bofur with a casual arm around his shoulder as he sat down next to Ori who is drawing.

Balin's infection has cleared leaving a scar. He was resting on a log listening to his brother and his king communicating.

Nori was teasing Dori causing the dwarf to have a mild-chase around the camp.

And lastly Gandalf who had not vanished again was leaning against a tree watching his group with amusement.

Watching from the inside Fili laughed quietly as his entertaining squad of friends.

"What's so funny?" said Kili pulling his brother back down.

Shaking his head Fili said don't worry.

Getting into a comfy position, Fili eyes began drifting asleep but was woken by his brother's words.

"I know you will be an awesome King Fili. And I will be right beside you every step of the way".

Kissing the brunette's hair, wrapping arm round his waist the two brothers fell into wonderful, splendid dream.
