   Summary

   In the wake of losing Fíli, Kíli and Thorin in the Battle of the Five Armies, those they left behind are grieving. Some more than others, including Ori, who carries not only his sadness, but more than one secret.

   Dáin's right to rule is assured, though some believe binding a member of the Company to his son will help ease the transition for smoother relations amidst the rebuilding of Erebor. Ori has many reasons to ignore this, but just as many to offer himself up as the marriage candidate Thorin Stonehelm will wed.

   What follows is the rest of his life and beyond, as he handles the weight of love and loss.
