Day 34 Lockdown - Hobbit

The shot that killed Smaug (Bard and Bain) [Video] | The hobbit ...Hobbit Work

Welcome! Today, just like in the 9th and 25th and episodes of my daily blog, I will be  sharing with you my schoolwork. Today was about the Hobbit. I know lots of people enjoy these ones so here we go!

The people were calm. Nothing unusual was occuring. The clouds normally rumble, don't they? No. These clouds were far too loud for normal clouds; everyone knew something was wrong. A flash of lightning cut across the sky. A child began to cry while clutching the cutest of teddy bears in order to wipe away her fears away of the dragon that she had heard stories about. A great roar erupted from the clouds and many below knew not of what was going on. The few that did knew that this was going to be their patriotic end. Clouds across the sky that were filled with grey, showed a small burst of vibrant flame leaving the confused people below with a growing understanding over what was about to happen. Then, just as they had braced for, Smaug the legendary Fire-Drake from the North appeared, creating a descending ring of smog over Laketown.

Whole streets of Laketown were being engulfed in flames as Smaug lowered his great body just over the roofs of the city. Laketown civilians were now running and screaming for their lives, searching everywhere they could for shelter where possible. The cause of large waves thousands of years ago left Laketown isolated in the ocean over 50 miles away from the closest mainland.That all meant that there was no means of escape off the island. A certain man by the name of Bard along with his son Bayne smashed their way out of their house they had lived in for over 16 years via the flimsy roof they had had to reconstruct over 4 times. A 5th street was inflamed by the feared Smaug. Dotted among the are, the crusty, wooden frames of the aged buildings were giving way to the pressure and flames that Smaug produced.

Bayne and Bard reached the summit of the ancient clocktower in the exact centre of the city, prepared to fre volley after volley of arrows at the dragon. The lightweight and immensely sharp arrows took no effect over the Fire-Drake except for enraging the beast even more. Smaug suddenly realized where the non-effecting arrows were being launched from and headed straight for the clocktower, fire stored up ready to take it down. Bard (after firing the last of his useless arrows) noticed a heavy iron, spear-like arrow that his son, Bayne, had tried to hand him earlier lying by his feet. Less than 50 years ago, when Smaug had attacked Laketown last, Bard's now elderly father used 3 out of 4 of the iron arrows to fend off the dragon but failed along with public hatrid and 3 arrows shattered to pieces. Now, it was Bard's turn to finish the almost impossible challenge off. He took his son and used him as a stand to steady the arrow. "You ready son?" Bard asked his boy.
"Ready as ever," he replied in a shaky voice. "Aim for the weak spot by his heart. It is easy to see as it has darkened over time. Father, you have one chance to save us all."
"Right you are Bayne. Now, don't look at it, just look at me. I don't want you to get hurt. I love you!"
his father responded. He fired. It hit. It plunged deep into Smaug's firey heart. And that was the end of him.
