As Thorin tries to come to terms with the depths of his cousin’s betrayal, Bilbo leads the Company through the labyrinth that is the Eversprout Tunnels, teaches his Dwarven kin about the history of Hobbits, and comes to understand something new about his own magic in the process. For the depths of Green Magic are not like the heights; they are not predictable and protective and controllable through lilting song, but wild and fierce and meant to bring about change, one way or another. It goes against everything that Bilbo was ever taught regarding the gifts of his people, to set free the magic he keeps perfectly organized in the neat little garden that is his core, and he struggles to do so, despite his resolve to embrace all aspects of the magic Yavanna blessed him with. Fortunately, as it ever has, love shall prove to be a force far more powerful than any other in Arda.

As he slowly withers away like a bed of neglected flowers in Rivendell, Yavanna Kementári approaches him with an offer – the singular chance to change the fate of all of Arda and save his Dwarrow in the process.
