One Chance Only

Escape from the dungeons was fun.
At first.
It was almost like an amusement park (except she didn’t know what an amusement park was). Until the gate was closed and the ride stopped.
Then the orcs came.
And Kíli… got hurt.
Then the gate opened and the ride continued. Going through the whitewater and orcs, working together to get to safety.
Safety…
Kíli was hurt.
Thorin was frowning.
Dís had a feeling they should return and try it all over again – and better this time. She would even pay the elves for another opportunity.
Shame life doesn’t work like that.
