The Skin-Changer Prophecy (LOTR Fanfiction)

~ "The Skin-Changer Prophecy" takes place 60 years after the events of "Daughter of Beorn". ~

"But I'm scared, Mama." Aarav murmured with his lip in a pout. Kyja's expression softened, and she lifted her five-year-old son onto her lap as the other three kids snuggled closer. Fili sat next to them as his wife spoke. "Oh, Rav... I know, sweetheart." She said. "Do you know what, though? It's okay to feel scared."

Internally, however, Kyja was concerned. Her kids had caught them talking about the prophecy, and discovered everything. The secret was out, and all four of the young skin-changers were immensely curious.

"So... what are we gonna do?" Opal asked, eyes wide.

The woman smiled at Opal and kissed her daughter's head. "The only thing you, Fion, Aarav, and Mira need to do is grow big and strong and kind. That's it. You don't have to worry about any monsters yet. That's Mama and Papa's job."

Fion's little blond eyebrows furrowed, and he looked up at the older dwarf. "But no one's stronger than Papa. Not even me!" Chuckling, Fili embraced his little boy and met the gazes of his four children. "And... Mama and I are going to be here no matter what happens. We promise."

Years passed like minutes as children grew into adults, humans into animals. Mira and her siblings were called to join the Fellowship of the Ring-- to guard the Ring-bearer and all of his companions. The four skin-changers will all encounter what it truly means to love, to live, and to thrive with the lives they've been given... all the while learning that their identities are found in more than just a prophecy.
