Beorning's Village
Gandalf POV
Waking up from his long sleep Gandalf opened his eyes as he looked around his surroundings, a large room with medical herbs on the shelf and a white cloth and a pail of water on the table. He touched his chest and remembered the injury inflicted upon him when he separated from Thorin and the legions. His friend Radagast told him he saw ruins with black speech imprinted on it so they followed the clues and led them into a black castle called Dol Guldur.
He went inside the castle while Radagast informs the white council. When he entered the castle he met the necromancer which revealed himself to be Sauron and his plans to conquer middle earth once more. If it weren't for Saruman the White, Galadriel Lady of the Galadhrim and Elrond Lord of Rivendell arriving he could have died.
"Sauron..."
"Ah you're awake Gandalf"
Looking towards the source of the voice he sees Beorn coming inside the room.
"I see, Radagast brought me back to your village."
"Yes, he brought you here and treated your injuries, if weren't for Rome's legionnaires already gathering medical herbs it might have taken longer to heal you."
"Where is Radagast? I would like to thank him."
"Radagast is with the boy named Cornelius along with the shamans from the legions outside the village, he has been teaching them some tricks, he seems very fond of them."
Looking at Beorn Gandalf think to himself: "Radagast and that boy Cornelius has been spending a lot of time together even before we left the village. Is Radagast teaching the boy magic? That would be possible seeing that boy also has the blood of Númenor. I don't know the reason why but the young prince Tiberius and his legions have all pure blood of Númenoreans, they don't realize how precious it is yet and how much shock it will cause in Gondor, did Eru Ilúvatar blessed them?."
Looking at Beorn he bowed his head: "Thank you for the hospitality Chieftain Beorn, I am healed now, I must meet Radagast to discuss something important."
Beorn smiled and escorted Gandalf outside the village, walking through the forest he saw his wizard friend with the boy along with the shamans which have been worshiping the Beornings and Radagast since they came. They said something about them being spirits and protectors of nature, although true they protect nature they are no spirit.
"Radagast my friend, what have you been teaching them?"
Turning his head Radagast looked at Gandalf joyfully: "Gandalf you're finally awake, I've just been teaching them some tricks nothing serious."
Looking around, Gandalf can see different animals roaming the field while the shamans feed them with treats while the boy Cornelius rides a bear.

"I will go to Woodland and inform Thranduil about our discoveries then meet up with Thorin and the others how about you?"
"I'll stay here for now, there are still wounded to be treated, I will catch up with you in a few days."
Nodding his head Gandalf left the village while riding his horse towards Woodland where he will meet with the king of wood elves. A few days in his journey he is intercepted by elf scouts that we're patrolling the area. They escorted Gandalf towards the Elven Kings hall.
Sitting in his throne Thranduil looks down at Gandalf: "Gandalf the grey, I heard you were supposed to be with those Dwarfs and Romans in their noble quest to reclaim Erebor."
"Yes I should be, but I went to Dol Guldur and discovered something horrible, I bring grave news Thranduil, Sauron has returned and amassing his forces as we speak, you need to assemble your army and march towards Erebor before they can take it.
Smiling at Gandalf the elven king replied: "Haha, let those dwarves and Romans fight for their mountain from orcs and dragons while I wait for them to tire then take back what belongs to me from inside the mountain."
"This is a battle you cannot ignore Thranduil, Erebor is a strategic position to take the north if Sauron succeeds he will use it as the gateway to take back the lost realm of Angmar."
Thranduil frowned at the mention of Angmar, Angmar was a realm established by the Lord of the Nazgûl later called the Witch-King of Angmar located in a northern fork in the western Misty Mountains and founded with the sole purpose of weakening the alliance. Though it later fell when the alliance attacked the realm, the witch king survived and escaped back to Mordor.
Angmar is a large piece of the land northwest of middle earth full of dark creatures and men if Sauron managed to reunite them under his banner they would be a great threat to all races of the alliance.
"I do not care Gandalf, I have not received reports of any orcs marching their armies towards north even if it's true my people have shed too much blood already during the war of last alliance."
Gandalf shook his head in disappointment and was about to leave when a elven guard rushed towards the room.
"Message from Prince Legolas, Lady Lind(Melody) has been found, she was located in Lake-town which was attacked by wainriders and Smaug, they successfully repelled the attack temporarily and injured the dragon with the help of the Romans, they are waiting for you your majesty in Dale to claim Erebor as it is left undefended as the dragon already retreated towards the forest while the Romans are still busy engaging the wainriders in lake town."
Thranduil stands up from his throne when he heard the news, with the dragon gone they could take back the white gems of Lasgalen while the Romans are still busy fighting the Easterlings and waiting for him in Dale are his children who are in danger if what Gandalf said was true.
"Assemble the army we march to Erebor!"

Misty Mountains
Azog POV
Marching down the misty mountains are a horde of goblins and orcs, with the goblin king's recent death at the hands of the dwarves and wizard it infuriated the entire horde of goblins living in the mountains. Using this as a reason Azog managed to rally fifty thousand goblins if it were not for the limited resources he could have recruited more to attack the dwarves and the red men and take Erebor as ordered by his master. The orc warlord equipped the goblins with the best steel and armor forged by orcs smiths and marched them towards east.
A few weeks have passed since the march of the dark army, he spots Bolg arriving from the south riding a warg. Bolg arrived in front of Azog and speaks.
"Elveuk ayh marchaumn avheir ushtar!"(Wood elves are marching their armies toward Erebor!)
"Rideuk avo gundabad avhe ushtar forav." (Ride to Gundabad let the army come forth.)
Nodding his head Bolg ride towards Gundabad to summon more orcs to march towards Erebor. Looking behind him Azog shouts at his armies which can be seen over the horizon.
"Elveuk bur dwarveuk avhe mounavain liwo be avheir avomb avo fighav!"(Elves, Men, Dwarves the mountain will be their tomb to WAR!)
ROOOOOAR!
As the dark army marched towards the large mountain from the distance a large shadow cast over them and everyone looked up.
ROAR!
