A little girl cries as she watches her doll burn in the street. Thyri helps her as she runs through the running crowd ''I got you.'' She runs towards destroyed buildings et jumps onto the debris. They found themselves in the town center, trapped from the flames around them. "Such wanton death was dealt that day, for this city of men was nothing to Smaug; his eye was set on another prize. For dragons covet gold, with a dark and fierce desire." In Erebor's corridors, Thrain asks his son, worried "Thorin, where is your sister ?" Thorin says with a scared expression "She went to Dale helping its people." Thorin and Thrain, along with many other Dwarf soldiers, wait with weapons ready behind the gates of Erebor "Stand firm !"
Fire bursts through cracks in the gates as Smaug tries to smash his way in. Smaug soon breaks through the gate of Erebor and starts killing dwarves left and right, trampling them and burning them. Thorin is nearly stepped on by the dragon, but he escapes. Thror fearfully runs to his throne and detaches the Arkenstone, running away with it. As he runs through a doorway, he sees Smaug in front of him; tripping, he drops the Arkenstone, and it rolls into a massive pile of gold. Thror shouts "No !" Thorin appears and drags him away. The dwarves run away from Erebor. "Erebor was lost, for a dragon will guard his plunder as long as he lives." Thrain cries ''Thyri !!! Thyri, where are you ?'' But, he heard no answer. Thorin says to the survivors "Run for your lives !'' He sees King Thranduil and his elves approaching the mountain and waves at them, screaming ''Help us !" But Thranduil, astride his deer, turns away.
