Aria's Journey

Part 3

For the whole trip I think I asked Gandalf more than a hundred questions about where we were going because and who was waiting for us, every time he answered I asked him another twelve questions he spoke to me about Hobbit dwarfs and I still have to understand what they are , elves and Orcs for a moment I liked to talk to a madman, finally we started to see civilization we were surrounded by small houses placed within small hills it seemed like a landscape out of a book still I didn't believe it my curiosity was even stronger at first so strong that I walked in front of Gandalf but I had to slow down since I didn't know where to go, we reached the top of the highest hill and we found ourselves in front of a wooden door the view from up here was wonderful. "Miss Aria we arrived, once you cross the threshold of this door, there is no going back" I looked at Gandalf I was enthusiastic and frightened at the same time I never felt such an emotion "Come on" I said .... Gandalf looked at me confidently and knocked on the door when the door opened, they met a smaller person than they were stunned this must have been the famous Hobbit that Gandalf spoke to me I didn't want to believe it a smile overwhelmed me it was really nice, Gandalf looked at me "Aria I can introduce you Bilbo Baggins and Bilbo I can introduce you Aria Targaryen is a human being, I found her in

woods a few hours ago, Bilbo gave me a very forced smile he seemed very uncomfortable and did not understand the reason so I decided to ask him since I have never been the kind of unfriendly person "Are you all right Bilbo?" the hobbit looked at me upset as if he wasn't expecting such a question "I don't know I was sitting eating my dinner when 13 dwarfs and you two fell into my house and I don't know anyone even far away" his answer left me without words "are there thirteen dwarfs in that house? "and I am the only female human being?" at the same time Gandalf and Bilbo nodded leaving me half petrified I was friendly with everyone but at the same time I knew I was quite embarrassed in these situations "maybe I can wait for someone to go away and then come in" Bilbo I look at myself and supported my speech also wanting the same thing but Gandalf had different plans he indicated to both of us to enter, I heard the voices of many men coming from the most distant room just where Gandalf was heading I was scared and petrified I wasn't really sure I wanted to go, but Gandalf preceded me entered the room and between the screams of joy and glasses of wine that flew he heard a phrase that I preferred not to hear "I want to introduce you to a new member for our trip" I knew he was talking about me and every insult I was thinking at the time was directed to Gandalf closed my eyes took a long breath and entered the room, I found myself in front of 13 men were really particular ari each had a different beard and there were even those who did not have it, a nervous smile emerged spontaneously "I am Aria" a grave silence enveloped the room and I was about to run away when suddenly every dwarf came close to me and introduced I had never heard these names kili Fili Bofur Bombur Dwalin and many others, only two dwarfs remained in their places both very different simply from their looks, I looked at Gandalf and made me a sign with the look of going towards them and I understood that they had to to be the leaders, I approached the older dwarf his gaze was really full of goodness he got up and introduced himself "I am Balin girl it's a pleasure to meet you" the dwarf put me at ease and I could not answer "is a pleasure for me too "the dwarf sat down again so I turned to the missing dwarf also got up and looked at me from top to toe and did not say a word, it was really nice those blue eyes immediately petrified me so me his temper, Gandalf intervened in this embarrassing silence "Aria he and Thorin the leader of the company" the dwarf said nothing he sat down and all the other dwarves resumed their positions while I sat in the first place I found between Kili and Fili, I they looked like the youngest dwarves in the room and also the most sociable and I certainly wasn't wrong. One dwarf after another they returned to the dining room and took a seat, in that small room it almost seemed to be even more, I was beginning to feel less and less embarrassed fortunately no one asked me anything yet maybe there was the possibility of being ignored , no thought could be more wrong than this, without even deluding myself about it a dwarf on my right broke my illusion.

"What are you doing here miss?" I think it must be kili it was easy to confuse Kili from Fili the characteristic that differentiated him was the beard, Kili had little beard almost a single nod while Fili did not .. "He brought me here" I indicated Gandalf and unashamedly unloaded all the faults on him Gandalf was petrified and began to stammer looking at Thorin who looked at me badly and got up coming towards me.
