The fire was crackling in the hearth as Princess Frira hummed a quiet tune to herself. It was rare that she would ever lose sleep, but for some odd reason, the child within her belly would not stop squirming about. Instead of pestering her husband about it, the princess decided to go to the adjacent nursery to pass the time until the baby calmed down. She sat in her favorite armchair as she plucked some chords on her silver harp.
“Amama,” came a small voice from the door, interrupting her humming. Her fingers stopped as she placed the instrument to the side. Her young son was standing at the door way, with a look of terror in his
“And what brings you out here on the lone ramparts on the eves of war, Uzbaduh?”
The king did not falter, but stood there, gazing at the moon as he heard the heavy footsteps of the captain of the guard echo closer towards him. At the corner of his eye, he could see the tall dwarf wearing a smug look on his face. It was a façade. He had known him long enough to know when he was concerned. His peridot eyes gleamed fervidly with it.
He did not answer, but he looked over his shoulder to offer a sad smile instead. He hung his head slightly lower than how he had been these past few days. The Raven Crown upon his head drooped do
[Dwarf Chorus]
Sacred homeland; You were so dear to us.
Broken homeland; Now there’s nothing for us.

Barron land
The trees have fallen
Desolate land
This was our home
Our people cry
Our spirits broken
But we must go
Yes we must go
And where the journey may lead us
Let Mahal be our guide
We cannot stay here, my family
But we’ll remember our pride
[Dw. Chorus inside Parentheses, Thorin outside]
(Homeland) We have no choice
(Our land) As we find our way
(Tear-stained) So far away now
(Hear this) Hear our prayer
(Will you?) Will you listen?

Broken homeland; Now there’s nothing for us

Sung by Thorin the night before the dwarves join the Battle of the Five Armies to his sleeping nephews (in the style of Les Misérables's hit song, "Bring Him Home").
Oh Mahal
Here my prayer...
In this time of need
I need you to be there.
They are young,
They're afraid.
Let them rest,
Durin blessed.
They are home,
They are home,
They are home.
They're like the sons I might have known,
If you have granted me these sons.
The seasons die one by one...
The ravens fly on and on,
And I am old,
And I'm at fault.
Bring them peace,
Bring them joy.
They are young,
they are only just boys.
You can make,
You can give.
Leave them be,
Let them live.
Good night, good night (I)
Good night, sweet boys, good night.
Tomorrow, I shall leave at first light,
But do not worry for I shall return,
So long as the flames in our hearth shall burn.
My journey’s length, though uncertain,
Look for me beyond these curtains,
For I shall return to you both very soon,
Be it at break of day or by light of moon.
Know now that I love you both very dear,
The thought of leaving may bring many a tear.
Yet so long as you welcome me back,
And allow me to hang my sword upon this rack,
Your lord uncle will surely make haste,
With gifts of jewels and swords at his waist,
For you my beloved and dearest sister

Hush now, my little ones,
Sleep now and dream of the sun
Shining bright, warm upon your face,
Know not of our people’s disgrace.
Dream not of death and decay,
Let my voice chase them away.
And in their stead, as you rest your head
Upon feathered beds, know not of dread.
But experience the joys of innocent youth
As I prolong the horrible truth
With words full of love
And dreams of gems like the stars above.
Sleep now, my dear
For slumber is near.
Think not of our people’s strife,
As you live a happier life
Here in our lodging in the Blue Mountains,
Of granite halls and marble fountai

Anyway, hey everyone! I'm still here. I know it's been a while since I have last written a journal entry. I just didn't really have much to rant about, other than my freakin' school! Tuition just increased and my stupid scholarship hasn't processed yet! School's starting in less than two weeks! BAH!
Damn Arakawa and her love for cliffhangers! So many things left hanging. It just makes the wait for next month's chapter even more unbearable. >< Damn it all.
I went to see "Gamer" yesterday with my friends at a local theater.Surprisingly, not a lot of people went to see the movie. It was opening weekend for God's sake! Anyway, the following post will contain my review. There will be spoilers beyond this point, so if you want to see the movie not expecting anything, browse through my favorites instead. Here I go:
Plot Summary/Synopsis:
