My name is {y/n} I am {74 about 24?}years old and I have been raised by the worst kind of humans along with my 5 year old mixed daughter in the middle of the forest near rivendell. i am clearly not human I have the slender figure and ears of an elf but I am the size of a dwarf, I am kept outside in deep mud with the horses by a rope around my neck As well as beaten regularly. Today was a hard day I have belt lashes across my already scarred back and have not eaten in a day or two but my parents still made me work im busy in the barn working on a sword when I saw a strange sight walk just over the horizon
'Dwarves?' I thought My dad yelled at my mother who was watering her flowers to hide so she ran to hide in the house dragging my daughter she tries to claim as her own along "What do you *dwarves* want" my father roared in disgust from the front door "We were just passing through sir when one of our ponies bolted off" said a dwarf with a long white beard "you wouldn't happen to want to sell a few would you?" He added
"Ah! Yes please do come take a look,we have plenty of ponies" he said cheerfully I heard footsteps approaching and I hid as well as I could by the fence post I was tied to (Which wasn't very good might I add) "'Ere they are" my father's voice boomed above me as I locked eyes with the white haired dwarf who looked at me in shock My father looked down at me clearly disgusted "oh ignore *that*" he said pointing to me "Go ahead and look through 'em" he adds. The dwarves walk into the round pen where stood about 15 ponies in a wide array of colours And they quickly picked three,a beautiful cinnamon coloured mare with a lighter coloured mane and two charcoal black geldings. "That'll be 7 coin" my father said and the dwarf quickly paid him "You wouldn't be interested in coming with us would you young one?" The white haired dwarf asked me cautiously Making my father grin wickedly "You can gladly take it but you take it's sister too" his words stung through me. Was he really doing this? I am both terrified and thankful "We'll take em" the dwarf replied, My father called for my mother who dragged my dirty barefoot daughter behind her.
And my father cut my ties. I rubbed the area on my neck where the rope had once been "You are going with these dwarves, you and your 'sister" My father said coldly I nod and go inside grabbing every belonging I had wich filled not even a small bag then i hop on a pony,my mother placing my my daughter in front of me and handed me a bag "I will see you again my child" she says making me scoff And we left without another word
once we are far into the fall coloured forest the group of dwarves stopped beside a river and quicky rushed to us "Hi,I'm fili" a young dwarf with long blond braided hair said "what's your name?" He added helping my daughter down "My name is {y/n}, her name is taliyeh or tali" the dwarves looked shocked,most likely beceause I'm a girl,though you could hardly tell from all the mud "how old are you lass?" A brown haired dwarf with a faint beard asked. "I am 74 {about 24 in human years?} she is 5" {in human years} "My name is kili" the brown haired dwarf said "this is fili,balin,oin,gloin,ori ,bofur and dwalin" he added pointing to each as he spoke. the dwarves begun setting up camp "C'mere little one,we'll get you cleaned up" called kili to tali who looked up at me as if asking permission "go" I said patting her on the back following after to where fili and kili were sitting by the river I took off my mud soaked over shirt,shoes and pants leaving me in a light green tunic and black shorts and I sat down near fili who was now making tali laugh by splashing her I quickly dunk my mud covered hair in the water and clean it revealing my long {h/c} hair Then I move on to washing the rest of the mud off of me. I hadn't realised how dirty i was until I felt like I had lost half my body weight
tali was now dirt-free thanks to fili and kili Tali has blonde hair and fair skin {This is about how I imagine her}

"So...how are you doing?" Kili asked tali as I wrung the water out of my now clean-ish brown coat "I..im hungry" she replied "When is the last time you two ate?" Fili asked me likely noticing how skinny we are,I realize just how hungry I am "it's been a day or two" I awenser nonchalantly and gasps could be heard from every single dwarf
"Come, you two we've got plenty of food" said the dwarf known as bofur And we diddn't bother hesitating taking a bowl rabbit stew The first bite I took I completely Melted into "What were you fed....there?"asked the dwarf called ori "Usually scraps" I awenser taking another bite as the dwarves share concerned looks "where are we heading?" I asked "We are headed to the lonely mountain" awensered dwalin "home" added kili
After finishing all I could of my stew It had gotten dark and tali is asleep laid against fili "I..i just want to thank you guys,for taking in me and tali" I said yawning "It was no trouble lass,now you best be getting some rest we should arrive in rivendell around mid-day tomorrow" And on that I fell asleep to the sound of soft snores and a crackling fire.
