pain rushes through your body, every cell and nerve on fire with roaring agony. You groan loudly, a tear trailing down your cheek as you look up at Thorin, your love. He looks down at you, hands held above your body.

He looks terrified to touch you, the blood spilling onto your clothes and the stone beneath you. He takes your hand in his, and looks up to the sky "Hold on, my love. Please" His voice is shaking and a tear slips down his face.
