Ok, guys, I'm trying a new story here. It is a HP/LoTR x-over, but I plan to make this as original as possible while still sticking mostly to canon for the LoTR. There will be some alterations, but the basic journeys of the Fellowship will stay the same.
If you enjoy the prologue, then, please, let me know, and I will try to get the first chapter out as soon as possible.
Edit 1-2-2013: I just saw The Hobbit- it was wonderful- and it has inspired me to get back on this story! I am planning on editing all of the previous chapters. But I cannot promise how quickly new ones will come out. Some changes will be small, some could potentially be really big. Keep a lookout!
In the first year of the Third Age of Middle Earth, a prophecy was foretold by Elrond Half-Elven that placed the future of Middle Earth hanging in the balance. The prophecy stated that the Dark Lord Sauron would rise again more terrible than before. However, help would come from an unlikely source, and the mysterious tomb in the catacombs beneath Imladris would be opened thrice. This help would be received when the time was right, but no one, not even the Lord Elrond himself, was sure of when that would be.
After a little more than a century passed, the Lord Elrond had taken a young Elfling named Alagoss into his care: the child had been left orphaned in Eregion during an attack by the Dark Lord. Soon after, Imladris and Lothlórien celebrated the marriage of Lord Elrond Half-Elven of Imladris and the Lady Celebrian of Lothlórien, daughter of the Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel. Just twenty short years later, the Lord Elrond and Lady Celebrian welcomed two sons, named Elladan and Elrohir, into their home. And just a century afterward, they welcomed a daughter and named her Arwen Undomiel, the Evenstar.
In the year 547 of the Third Age (TA), Alagoss took the hand of a refugee from Hollin, Tinulaer, and they married in a joyous celebration. In 1120 TA, they welcomed their own daughter into the world, and named her Rhovanaeron. Two hundred and fifty-five years later, they welcomed a second daughter named Edhellaer.
Three hundred years after Edhellaer was born to Tinulaer and Alagoss, an exciting event occurred in Middle Earth: the Wizards arrived. This coming was a two-fold process. The Istari, the Wizards, were sent by the Valar in 1000 TA: Curumo the White Wizard also known as Saruman; Olorin the Grey Wizard, also known as Gandalf or to the Elves, Mithrandir; Aiwendil the Brown Wizard who is also known as Radagast; and two unnamed known as the Blue Wizards. These Wizards gave counsel to the races and helped in the fight against the Dark. In this year also, the prophecy told by the Lord Elrond a millennia before began to unfold.
