Journey to Erebor

A Long-Expected Adventure

I was on the Greenway making my way to Bree, a merry trading communtiy.It was a long weary road with apparently nothing interesting. The sun was setting and darkness engulfed the orange wisps of cloud cover.I was just trudging along the path with the stars guiding me.Very soon I could see the tiny village and its bustling streets. The Prancing Pony was as merry as ever, frequent visits to the inn has earned me a few good comforts including a free meal from old Butterbur. He is a cheery good fellow. I sat in my favourite place near the fire and began eating. Bree always has stange tidings from nameless places, so I sat there and keenly listened to many conversations. It was all very boring until I heard something about Erebor. I immediately joined the conversation.

A wealthy, young dwarf stood and announced an invitation,

"Salutions Free Folk of Middle Earth, it is the time for the cornation of Thorin Oakenshield,son of Thrain, son of Thror to be the King under the Mountain. Everyone from this fair land is invited to this joyous cornation.The date is said to be on Durin's Day which is on 13 October this year.Delicious feasts with barrels brimming with brown ale awaits you.Be hasty!"

To me, this was the call of heaven, I always wanted to visit Erebor a kingdom of marvel,it's beauty was a legend. I was on cloud nine, I could hardly sleep nor could I think about the wondrous journey that lay ahead.An adventure awaited be at the doorstep of The Prancing Pony and I just have to follw it!
