Hunting of the Dragon

What if the Arkenstone really was a Silmaril? (very late, but inspired by arofili's @funwithfanon prompts from last march!)

Galadriel, Celeborn, and Thranduil are the only people on the right side of the mountains that a) have fought a dragon (mostly in the war of wrath) b) remember the Hunting of the Wolf and c) are mentally stable enough to be trusted around a silmaril (more or less)

so of course they end up having to fight silmaril-raged smaug. (he sat on it and now it's stuck to his bald spot)

since the sindar don't have metal armor galadriel is the only tank, and therefore the person on dragon-stabbing duty.

celeborn is the spearman in charge of keeping smaug from escaping or mauling someone else (and also making sure the silmaril doesn't fall on galadriels head, because at that point it definitely would still burn her)

thranduil is supposed to be doing air control to keep smaug from flying up and torching everyone, but he decided it would be a great idea to jump-dive at the dragon's head.

(version with fire because i couldnt decide which one i liked better)

#silm #silmarillion #lotr #lord of the rings #the hobbit #galadriel #celeborn #thranduil #smaug #elrond would have also been volunteered for dragon-stabbing if only he lived less than a year of travel west of the lonely mountain #daeron is probably in the area but he has never fought a dragon and also would probably have a nauglamir-trauma breakdown #of all of them galadriel is probably the most used to dealing with the silmaril light since she basically has a silmaril for hair #celeborn and thranduil lived in doriath for long enough to at least know what to expect #the dwarves are currently too scattered to be of much help (unless thrain wants to pull an azaghal)#unfortunatley smaug has wings; less respect than glaurung; and far less things to distract him #so a mid battle funeral would be rather ill advised #galadriel is reckless enough to dive at smaugs face #but she is also experienced enough at dragons to know that stabbing it is generally more effective
