Nature

The giant eagle put them in the eagle's nest, and Anna lay down on the smooth rock wall.

A big eagle landed beside her, "Kai Mengting, I'm glad we arrived in time."

Anna opened her eyelids, looked into Eagle's eyes, and smiled.

"Thank you, Guan He."

The Eagle King bowed his head to her, "This is our honor."

The Eagle King flew to talk to Gandalf, and Anna stood up slowly.

The eagle was flying in the sky, and Anna knew that it was the meeting of the thoughts of Manwë and Yavanna, the master of the West.

"Thank you!" she yelled in Western Common. "Thank you!"

The hawks alighted beside her, and the red and purple sunsets beat their feathers, and they nodded to her.

The black cloak was flying, and Anna walked to Thorin's side and began to examine his injuries.

"Do you know how to see a doctor?" Qili asked nervously.

"A little bit, he can't die." Anna glanced at the male dwarf who was lying on the cliff and hadn't gotten up yet, probably not knowing how to face Bilbo.

Gandalf came after talking with Gwenhe, "We will stay here overnight, and then the eagle will send us to the farthest part of the southern plain where they roam."

"Where are you going?" Anna straightened her wrinkled clothes and asked.

Gandalf paused, then looked south. "Go to Karl Rock."

"To see the skin-changer Beorn." Anna realized, "but he is not very hospitable." She thought about it, and carefully chose her words. There were three reasons why she was invited to his house back then. He is like-minded, the second is her natural name, and the third is an apology for accidental injury.

"So it's up to you." Gandalf smiled slyly again.

It was getting dark, and the big eagle brought a pile of dry branches and food. Looking at the rabbits and sheep still breathing on the ground, the hobbit was in trouble.

"How should we eat?"

"Roasting meat on sticks!" exclaimed a dwarf, licking his lips.

Anna hooked the corners of her mouth and laughed.

Once upon a time, she would cheer for an animal.

Sorin looked at her, "Can you cook?"

Anna didn't blink her eyelids, "I can't bear to kill them."

She didn't look at Thorin's expression, she knew it must be weird.In fact, she didn't want to talk to Sorin very much, after all, suspicious things were the most annoying thing.

"So you can't bear it either." Gandalf came up and teased.

Anna looked at him and sighed lightly, "I used to kill too much, but now I can't wash away my sins no matter what I do."

"You're merciless in killing half-orcs."

"I will not kill them indiscriminately now, although they are hateful, but I will not do it."

Gandalf stroked his beard, "You have improved." He smiled, "But if you only eat vegetarian, you don't often have fresh fruits and vegetables during your journey."

"You know I'm the least picky in this aspect. I even ate weeds in the dark forest back then, and of course I don't need to eat every day." Anna sat down cross-legged, she was a little sleepy, "Once a few months .”

Gandalf watched Anna yawn big and smiled kindly. "Sleep, there is no need for a vigil today."

Anna had a good night's sleep, which was really rare. She had seldom had such a sound sleep since she embarked on a journey.

The sun shone on Anna's face, and it was warm. Anna sat up and straightened her hood and cloak.

The giant eagle stopped beside her and motioned her to sit on it. Anna stepped over easily, with her arms around her neck and her body tightly pressed against the feathers.

The hobbit looked a little frightened, but Anna enjoyed it.Ana raised her hands and gave a cheer as they soared through the sky.

The wind blew into her hood, lifting the black fabric and revealing her pale hair.

"Can you fly higher?" she asked in a low voice.

The eagle neighed and flew high, and Anna felt the howling of the wind and the clouds passing by her.

Alone, Anna closed her eyes, thinking of the silence of the sea and the peace of the forest.

The heart is beating violently, and a feeling of joy arises spontaneously.

The giant eagle suddenly fell, and Anna couldn't help screaming due to the huge drop.

"what……!"

They landed on a huge rock with a wide lawn and a stream beside it. Anna regained her composure and hurriedly put on her hood. Phew, luckily they landed first.

"I'll send you here." Guan He said after sixteen people fell to the ground, "Goodbye. No matter where you go, I hope you can return to the nest safely at the end of the journey."

"May the strong wind under your wings carry you wherever the sun and moon shine," answered Gandalf, and Anna nodded.

After the eagle left, the dwarves strongly demanded a bath, and Anna agreed.But it was not convenient for her to take a bath with the dwarves, so she walked to the far side of the small river and took off her clothes on the shallow river bank.

She stared at the reflection in the water and had to admit that although she had a few wrinkles on her face and her hair was pale, the rest of her body hadn't aged very much.

After taking a shower, she looked at her face carefully.In fact, she also saw it in Rivendell, but now she is in a different mood.

The white hair hung down smoothly on the back. Anna carefully traced the outline of the face. It was okay, she thought in her heart, but it was a bit flat and lacked the three-dimensional effect of elves.

She smiled lightly and put on her clothes.

In fact, she can keep clean without taking a bath every day. She can clean her clothes and body with water vapor, but she still hopes to wash in water if possible.

Nearby is Beorn's residence.

Anna looked towards the oak forest, she remembered it.

At that time, she was still guarding the forest north of Dol Guldur, and by chance, she did not meet Redagast who lived in the southern forest, but once she was too far away from the forest and happened to meet Beorn who was on patrol.

She remembered a fight when they first met.

Created a misunderstanding but started a friendship.

Beorn had helped her a lot, Anna thought, and he might be able to give her some recent news.

After they showered, they started their trek.Anna was in the lead, and when they finally came to the field of purple clover, she stopped.

"You cannot go on," she looked at Gandalf. "I need to go to him before you come in."

"When do we go in?"

"When I came out." Anna said, and walked in.

"Go and come back quickly," said the wizard, "Ox is still watching from behind."

Anna walked across the grass and knocked on the skin-changer's door.

"I'm Kai Mengting." Anna said, and the door opened.

"I recognize your voice! It looks like time has left traces on you." A tall man stepped out, with a knee-length woolen coat covering him, "I thought you had You left, and you're back!"

"Yes, Beorn." Anna said politely, "but just passing by, because I still have to go to the forest."

"Forest?" He welcomed her in, frowning, "The forest is very unsafe now. Since you left, no, before you left, the evil in the Black Forest has spread rapidly. The animals there have already When he became seriously ill, the river there could no longer drink."

"Are you talking about the forest in the south?" Anna frowned. "It should be better if there are elves in the north."

"The half-orcs in Dol Guldur are getting more and more rampant." Beorn said with a gloomy face, "If possible, I hope we can work together to deal with them again."

"Actually, I came to you this time because we were hunted down by half-orcs."

"You? What did you do?"

Anna told Beorn in detail, "We killed the King of Goblins, but we were chased by Oaks at the edge of the cliff. Fortunately, the eagle arrived in time."

"What about your partner?"

When Anna walked out the door, she heard the howling of wolves, and Beorn's expression changed.

"How dare they come to my place!"

The dwarf came in, and Gandalf smiled and nodded at Anna.

"Nice job," he whispered.

"Your stories are true." Beorn hurried home the next day, "If you are going to the forest, I advise you to wait until they leave."

"I can't wait," answered Thorin, and he gave Gandalf a look. "We must be at the Lonely Mountain before Durin's Day."

"I will protect them," Anna replied.

"I'll send you to the forest, but what I'm really worried about is inside the forest."

"It's okay, Nai said she is very familiar with it." A dwarf interjected.

Beorn laughed, "You are indeed very familiar! You may be the first girl who has lived there alone for more than 50 years."

Anna looked at him in surprise. In his eyes, was she still just a girl?

They had a very good supper, and the Dwarves were very happy, and so was the Hobbit.

"This is the first proper meal since we left Rivendell."

"You forgot there's breakfast," Groin interrupted.

Everyone laughed.

"Thank you for the generosity of the owner of the wooden hall, we are willing to serve you." Balin thanked, and then Bangbo patted him on the shoulder. "It's a pity that there is still no fried chicken." He giggled.

The atmosphere in the room immediately cooled down, and Beorn remained silent.

Bilbo was startled, and he tugged at Anna's sleeve, a little frightened.

"What did you say? A dwarf?" Beorn said angrily.

"Why should you bother with a dwarf." Anna approached his ear and lowered her voice.

"I apologize to you for being rude to my friend," said Gandalf, who was silent, and bowed to Beorn. "Forgive him for his rashness."

Bombo knew he had said the wrong thing, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.

The temperature in the wooden hall eased a little, but everyone was still a little unhappy.

Anna quickly changed the topic, "How are you doing recently?"

Beorn cast a sideways glance at Anna, "It's better without you." He said, "Redagast told me that your reputation has already spread to the southern humans."

Another morning, Beorn sent them a dozen ponies and two full-grown horses, and sent them out of his domain himself.

"I won't send you the rest of the way. After crossing the edge of the forest, I can't help you much. I hope you can avoid Oakes' pursuit and reach your destination safely. I will stop them here for you. Wait You have come to the edge of the forest, please let go of the reins and send my horse back. I wish you all the best, and if you ever have the chance to come back along this road, my door is always open for you."

"The owner of the spacious wooden hall is always at your disposal."

Beorn turned to Anna, "Bon voyage, and may Kymentari bless you forever, girl."

Anna nodded to him, got on the horse, and left with the team.

The author has something to say: it has been fixed. (June 6)

Follow the original plot, slightly changed.In fact, in the original book, Azog was dead, and was killed by Ironfoot Dyne in front of Kazadum in the battle of Azanubiza. It was his son Borg who chased the dwarves, but since the movie is pale orc The pale orc yelled, so I didn't change it.

Beorn has always regarded Anna as a girl. In fact, there is a reason. For Beorn, the skin-changer, everything in nature is his friend and relative. Anna is the child of nature, so Beorn treats her as a Just a little girl.
