Prologue

You have lived your entire life with your father, Beorn, between Mirkwood and the Misty Mountains. One afternoon, a company of dwarves, a wizard, and oddly enough, a hobbit take shelter in your father's house after being chased in there by your father's bear-like form.

"May I ask who thy are?" You spoke quickly, holding a pitcher of cream you had just produced from the kitchen.

"Well, my dear," Came a lovely sounding voice among the ruckus of the group, "My name is Fili, and this is our company; Thorin Oakshield's company."

Wanting to experience an adventure and find yourself in the real world, you're given permission to travel with the company, Fili being your protector and escort, assigned by your father.
