Some Hearts

Prologue

Caralith

I narrowed my eyes as I saw the figures moving through the trees; fifteen in total, each varying in size and shape. I watched closely as they marched along. They were not being secretive or stealthy, simply traveling along. However, something in the back of my mind made me weary of them.

Remaining in the shadows, I watched the group as they came closer to my position. The leader was tall and dressed in all gray with a pointed hat. A smile found my lips as I recognized him as Gandalf the Gray, one of the five Istari, and most importantly a friend. I was now torn. I had orders to keep the rangers' presence along this path secretive but it had been nearly five years since I last saw the wizard. My thoughts were halted as I noted that most of the company were short stout beings, Dwarves. But the fifteenth member was more petite and dainty...a hobbit. A peculiar group of comrades I must say.

I argued with myself about whether to engage them or leave them to their own. However, my curiosity won out and I followed them. After a couple of hours, I decided the only way to find out their intentions would to be make myself known. They weren't doing much just walking along the road and camping for the night only once the sun left the sky. Surely, if their purpose is honorable, they wouldn't mind a little visit from the local ranger in the morning. 

Hello everyone! 

So I have been back in the writing business and found myself lost in the world of the Hobbit and LOTR once more. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I have! 

All characters belong to the great Mr. J.R.R. Tolkein and the movie cannon/script to Mr. Peter Jackson and his crew! 

As per my usual writing style, I will do my best to weave my newest character into the trilogy as much as possible without changing the main plot lines. I will be following the movies as far as dialogue and timelines. 

Please vote, add to your lists, and stay tuned for future chapters!
