I swear I’ll protect you—           —from every scrape and fall,           —from stupid childhood mistakes,           —from your own stubbornness,           —from danger and darkness,           —from your foolish heart,           —from swords and spears,           —from death itself,           —with my own life. It’s what big brothers do. I’ll stand by you, brother. In life and in death. (But I didn’t mean for you to die for me, too)

They were the heirs of Durin. The future kings that never came to be.

Tolkien characters + Latin: Fili

[as Thorin orders the injured Kili to be left behind] Fili, don’t be a fool. You belong with the company.  I belong with my brother.

Down, down, down...
