A.N. This is a bit of a plot bunny that has been bothering me for a while. I will probably continue on with it, but it will take some time between chapters to update as I am working on other stories and this is more of a way for me to get over writers block in those stories. I know that I am going to deviate from the book and the movies, but as this is fanfiction that is perfectly ok. Now I shall stop talking your ears off and allow you to enjoy the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own any recognizable character or place, she only owns Cora, Nordri and Lily Valna.

Avunculus is Latin for Uncle, usually one on the mother's side of the family.

Prologue

In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit, or rather, more specifically; there lived two Hobbits, and on occasion a rather nice Dwarf and his daughter. But for now we shall talk of the Hobbit and his rather charming companion. The owner of the, rather nice, Hobbit Hole was of the name Bilbo Baggins, his companion was named Cora Baggins, and she was a cousin to Bilbo who had lost her parents the same year that he had done in the Fell Winter.

The Dwarf that would on occasion reside with Bilbo and Cora was named Nordri, and he hailed from the lost Kingdom of Erebor, the lonely mountain. His daughter was a bright young lass named Lily Valna Took and, if you have not already guessed, was not entirely Dwarvish. No, her mother was a Hobbit by the name of Bell Took, twin sister of Belladona Took, who also happened to be the mother of Bilbo Baggins. And so, you see, the inhabitants of the Hobbit hole, known to the local folks as Bagend were all somehow related to each other.

Ah yes, back to our story. The story of a Hobbit and his adventure to help a ragtag band of dwarves reclaim their lost Kingdom.
