*******Bilbo rode alongside Thorin, Dwalin, Kili, Balin, and the elves leaving Erebor in search of the elf woman that had quietly slipped out of Erebo.... He knew that he had encouraged Thorin to rethink his decision and was glad the dwarf had but as they left the gates he couldn't help but wish he had done so sooner.As they rode out over the ancient stone bridge he could see the two kings draw their mounts up short halfway across the bridge."Thranduil is that the Mirkwood?" Thorin demanded. I wondered to myself, did this mean the Father was a homo? Did it mean I was a homo? I knew that Priests didn’t marry, but did not understand exactly why. We walked down the hallway in silence. When we got to the room we both put on our underwear. I slipped on one of his old t-shirts, and he slipped on a nightshirt. He cut the small TV on, and the evening news show was on. We watched in silence for a couple of minutes, as the weatherman tried to make jokes about the sorry weather we had been. “Where are we?” I asked one of the Dai women.She stared at me with her bright yellow eyes.“Han-Man. We are with Han-Man now.”“How did we end up here?”“Marhii does not know.”Another Dai woman came closer.“Yvii knows.”“Then I think Yvii should tell me.”“You are the one, that became Than, a female!”“And this is why we are here?”“The Hi now believe in you, but there are those who do not. They do not like females to be Than. I want to be Than! There are those who pretend to be Hi but are not Hi.. I poured myself a large Vodka and orange juice, then settled down in my chair in the living room. Time to call the police, report my car stolen and suffer my third round of interviews with the boys in blue.Choosing to stall the inevitable, I reached for the remote and turned on the television instead. My drink spilled into my lap due to the shock of the scene I saw playing out on the screen.The screen had come to life on a cable news station. Playing out on the screen as a car chase or rather.
