In the land of gods and monsters a woman leaves her baby in the hands of a great Dwarf King. 
  "Take care of her, for my time has come, Sindari." the frail, thin woman presses her lips against the little girls forehead. 
  "Anything for you, anything for my darling." the King replies, looking at the child while he holds his arms out taking the baby into his thick calloused hands. 
  "She looks so little in your arms." the woman looked onto the baby with love, pure unconditional love. 
  "Tis time sweet Deena." the woman looks up at the king with desperation, not wanting to leave her child behind. 
  A loud shriek could be heard throughout the palace of gold. The woman gone, never to be found again.

  "Never! Not even for the King himself can stop me!" I shout back. I must get to that flag first.
