War council

She was worried her brother still handnt come back with the larger group of men. All the females were nervous they wanted there men home. She felt worry creep across her calm sense of self assurance.

When a wary messenger came into her hut at the break of dawn she was unsuprised. He had a lot of explaining to do.

"Can you explain why my brother hasn't come back?" she asked anger coloring her words dark.

"We are caught in the skirmishes of orcs. We were detained originally by the dragons attack. Now that its killed there is scores of goblins and gundabad orcs ready to take erebor." he said breathlessly.

"So we must go to war to protect our own." she said solemnly.

"It appears so domina " he answered.

"Send our fastest to the canines tell them our own are endangered. And if I know Azog he is there as well as is his brother Bolg. We will wipe that line clean. We are going to war. I will retrieve beorn. Get them ready and moved out by midday." she said.

"If the canines don't come?" he asked

"Tell them Akzuna's descendant bids them to come. Tell them that and they will not hesitate. And that Beorn the great will join us."

She grabbed her weapons and ran toward her destination with haste. Beorns was far but she would make him see reason.He had too. Her brother and most.of her men were in danger. They would be in cages if the orcs won.
