Prologue

In the lands of Middle-Earth, there are many different Races: Men, Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Orcs, the Ishtari or Wizards by the tongue of Men, Hobbits, Ents, and the most feared of all…..Dragons. Most were called Worms, Serpents or Drakes by the Peoples of Middle-Earth throughout the first three ages. They were also known to be some of the most deadly servants of the original Dark Lord: Morgoth. While most were unnamed and unknown, there were few who were the most notorious of their race. The first to be seen in the First Age was Glaurung the Golden, the Father of all Dragons. Also in the First Age was the most feared and greatest of flying Dragons: Ancalagon the Black. This great beast was known as the largest of the Fire-Drakes and Morgoth's deadliest servant. However, after his passing in the First Age, came several other Dragons each one different but fierce. After Ancalagon and Glaurung, there were other known Dragons like the Fire-Drake of Gondolin from the First Age and Scala the Cold-Drake of the Third Age. But…there was one Fire-Drake whom, through his actions, became the most infamous of the Third Age.

This is the story of the last great Fire-Drake of the Third Age who lived within the mountains of the North. He had many titles to his name, but his most common was the Golden….Smaug the Golden. As he grew over the years, he had developed a few battle scars but overcame many battles as he aged. Now, the great Fire-Drake was old but incredibly strong, becoming nearly invincible to all adversaries. Because of this, he earned the highest and grandest mountain within the Withered Heath of the Northern Mountains. The peak itself raised high above all others, reaching even above the mist that veiled them and the valley below. All other Dragons knew to avoid it or dare to incur Smaug's wrath for the sake of their own lives. However, one day in the early Spring in TA 2700, he encountered something that would change his life forever.

Vanya, an exiled Elvish Princess, stumbles upon his mountain after a long and terrible pursuit from a horde of Orcs. It is within Smaug's mountain that the two develop the most unusual of friendships in all Middle Earth. Together, they discover what they have in common with one another as they battle Orcs and other dragons. (Unbeknownst to them, their bond would soon set off events which would soon result in the battle for the fate of all Middle Earth.)

This is their story…..
