Dragon Age: Shadow of Fereldan
Prologue: Journey Begins and Meeting the Burglar
In Rivendell in the house of Elrond sat a tall figure reading a book, as the autumn leaves fall around him giving a peaceful setting to the environment. The person reading was 6'2 and looked to weigh at least 175ibs, smooth alabaster skin, large sharp icy blue eyes, long eye lashes giving him a feminine look and straight black hair going just below his ears and cover's his left eye, he also has a lean muscular look to him. His name is Shiro Belmont son of Victor Belmont and Idrial of Rivendell, Victor is a human from a land far away from Middle-Earth called Fereldan, he came to Middle-Earth by accident when the ship he was on blew it off course and caused him to ship wreck along the shoreline of Middle-Earth. Idrial found the ship wrecked foreigner and brought him to Rivendell to help him heal. During Victor's stay in Imladris they grew closer first becoming friends, rivals, lovers then husband and wife, Victor asked her to marry him under the full moon, with the full blessing of Elrond. Months later Idrial told Victor about her being pregnant and she gave birth to a beautiful half-elven child that they named Shiro, Shiro was the perfect combination of Victor and Idrial he has his mother's hair and eyes while he also had Victor's hard features and stern face. Victor never thought he could love someone even more than he did at that moment, for a number of years the little family was happy but it didn't last. Victor gathered his family together and told his family about the order he was a part of the Grey Wardens an order created to combat the blight and darkspawn, he also told them about how the Grey warden only had a number of years before the taint in them becomes to much for the body to handle, they will start to have dreams signaling them that the end is near. Victor told them the dreams started coming to him again. The news saddened by the news but they made sure to make each year count, eventually the day came when Victor succumbed to the taint not wanting to be separated from his family he was buried in Rivendell, a couple of months later Idrial to passed on joining her beloved in the afterlife she was buried next to her husband. Ever since then Shiro was raised by Elrond, even though he was only half elven he was never treated differently from anyone else. Elrond taught Shiro about his heritage and about the different beings inhabiting Middle-Earth and the different elven kingdoms both current and lost. He was also taught about the different human kingdoms, Shiro eventually developed the need to visit the different places that Elrond told him about but not before learning how to defend hisself. Shiro became very skilled with both the sword and bow but Elrond told him experience is a better teacher by far, when he left Rivendell he came upon a Dunedain Ranger encampment and lived among them for a couple months learning among them and being trained by one of there members when he did leave he left no longer a child but a experienced man of the wilderness. Shiro continued to explore Middle-Earth seeking wisdom but also being the one to give wisdom to others, he also became known as a defender of the innocent, protecting the common folk whenever they needed him. But no matter how far away he was he always returned to Rivendell to visit the graves of his parents, putting flowers on there graves and paying his respects. Which is where we find our lone half elf still reading his book under the tree in Rivendell not aware of a figure approaching him.
"Shiro, can you come with me please?" Said the man judging by the tone of voice.
Shiro looked up and saw a elf a little taller than he was wearing a brown robe to reflect the time of year, he had long brown hair going to his shoulders, pointed ears even though he only looked like he was in his late thirty's his eyes had in them the look of someone who has seen more than anyone else. This man is Elrond the lord of Rivendell and the one who raised Shiro when he was still a child.
"Yes, lord Elrond, but may I ask what it is you need me for?" Shiro asked, Elrond waved Shiro to follow him, as Shiro got up and followed Elrond.
"We have a guest that has asked to see you, he will explain everything once we get there." Elrond told him as they approached a pavilion.
"Will you at least tell me his name so I am at least prepared." Shiro asked slightly annoyed at Elrond, but all he got was a small smile from the elf lord knowing the young elf doesn't like being left in the dark.
As they approached the pavilion Shiro saw a old man slightly hunched over smoking a pipe, with a cup of tea on the table, he had a weather beaten face with a pointy nose and a long scraggly beard. He wore grey robes, with a grey scarf wrapped around his face, to finish of the outfit he had a pointy grey hat. Leaning against one of the pillars was a brown walking staff, the old man was none other than Gandalf the Grey. Shiro met Gandalf on one of his many travels, the traveling wizard was attacked by a group of goblins that came down from the Misty Mountains, before they could harm the seemingly defenseless old man arrows rained down on the goblins before they even had a chance to react. When the last of the creatures was struck down Shiro made his presence known, Shiro realizing the man he saved was Gandalf was surprised to finally meet the one the elves called Mithrandir, he was thanked by Gandalf for his assistance even though he didn't need it. They traveled together for awhile Gandalf observing people and giving wisdom while Shiro went with him to learn more from the wise wizard.
"Gandalf it's great to see you again but what has brought you here to Rivendell?" Shiro asked the old man who chuckled before pointing to a chair for Shiro to sit on.
"Well my young friend I have come to ask if you would like to accompany me when I go to the Shire and eventually on a quest." Gandalf said to the half elf, Shiro had a curious look on his face wondering why the Shire and what this quest is all about.
"I would like to go with you to Gandalf but what is in the Shire that requires you to stop there, if I remember correctly you are not very well liked there by the older hobbits and what is the goal on this quest you have planned?" Shiro asked wanting to be prepared ahead of time before agreeing to this.
Gandalf nodded his head in agreement, happy that Shiro didn't agree right away.
"Well we are going to the Shire to recruit a young hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins I feel he has gotten to comfortable and this quest will be good for him." Gandalf explained to him.
Shiro nodded his head understanding since hobbits are known for not going on adventures or quest except for those of the Took clan who are well known for going on adventures.
"But what about this quest, what is it about I noticed you avoided telling me." Shiro said giving the old wizard a questioning look knowing he deliberately did this, Gandalf with a smile on his face and twinkle in his eyes.
"We are going on a quest for the Lonely Mountain, I believe that dragon has had that treasure long enough and it's time for him to leave." Gandalf said with a smirk on his face. Shiro with a shocked look on his face was wondering if the old man has been out in the son to long or drunk to much alcohol recently.
"Gandalf, you do realize that we will need more than just a hobbit, wizard and half elf to take back the Lonely Mountain." Shiro said to the wizard, Gandalf look like he was offended,
"Of course, you didn't think I was mad to think only three of us would be able to take back the mountain and kill the dragon." Gandalf said with a annoyed look on his face.
"I'm sorry Gandalf but can you please tell me who else is going with us?" Shiro asked the old wizard, Gandalf then gave Shiro a look that said I know something you don't.
"Well thirteen dwarves are also coming with us, among them is Balin, Fili and Kili. Gandalf said to him.
"Great I haven't seen Fili and Kili since I traveled to the Iron Hills and Balin was always someone I enjoyed talking to. Tell me if Fili and Kili are coming is he coming as well?" Shiro asked the wizard.
Knowing who Shiro was talking about Gandalf nodded his head making his beard swing back and forth.
"Yes, he will be coming as well but he will arrive at a different time but he will come soon." Gandalf said to him.
"Ok when do we leave for the Shire?" Shiro asked the old wizard. Gandalf then got up from his seat and acquired his staff leaning against the pillar.
"I would like to leave as soon as possible, before it gets to late. I will meet you at the main gate." Gandalf told him. Shiro got up from his seat and went to his room given to him by Elrond when he stayed in Rivendell. He entered his room and went to the closet that was in the room, he opened the closet and found his ranger garb. A gift from his time with the Dunedain, it was one of there treasures and in the short time he lived among them he was given the garb. The outfit Shiro was wearing was made of blue and black cloth made to stand against the elements over the cloth was mithril breastplate, pauldrons and vambracers with metal gauntlets covering his hands. He then put on boots that looked like they had wings on them, the boots are called the cyclone boots a gift from his father. Victor told him that they increase the speed of the wearer, they made Victor a terror on the battlefield because his father's enemies would fall before they even knew he was there.
Shiro then strapped his sword to his hip and bow and quiver of arrows to his back he left his room to meet up with Gandalf at the gates. When he finally arrived at the gates he noticed Gandalf leaning on his staff, obviously waiting for the half elf.
"It's about time you arrived I was thinking I would have to leave without you." Gandalf said in a playful tone, Shiro rolled his eyes at the wizard after traveling so long with him he became used to his antics.
"A elf is never late Mr. Gandalf nore is he early he arrives precisely when he means to." Shiro said in his best imitation of Gandalf's wizened voice. Gandalf's lip started trembling and eventually exploded in laughter with Shiro joining his laugh with his. The two companions then left out the gates on the road to Rivendell trading stories and songs for the road. Shiro even asked how will the dwarves know which house will be Bilbo's when they do get there. Gandalf responded by telling them if Bilbo reacts like he thinks he will, he plans to carve a mark on his door as a sign for the dwarves.
After a couple days of travel they finally arrived in the Shire home of the hobbits a peaceful people that mind there own business and don't like to be involved with the outside world that much. As Gandalf and Shiro traveled through many of the hobbits on the road looked to the stranger wondering what there business in the area was. They already knew who Gandalf was but Shiro was even more a stranger then the old wizard. Shiro didn't react to there stares but he had to admit that he felt a little uncomfortable about the whole situation. Gandalf eventually stopped in front of a small home with a round porthole with a green door and brass doorknob in the center. Sitting on the steps smoking a pipe was a hobbit with curly brown hair, he wore a white shirt with overalls and brown pants. The hair on his feet was brushed neatly and was steadily tapping to a song that only the young hobbit could hear. The hobbit noticed that he had company looked up and seen an old man leaning on his staff while the old mans traveling companion seemed to be waiting for something. Bilbo couldn't see the second figures face because he had cloth covering his mouth and nose the only thing Bilbo could see were his ice blue eyes.
"Good morning." Bilbo said to the two, Shiro gave a nod deciding to let Gandalf do the talking. While Gandalf looked puzzled by the greeting.
"What do you mean, do you wish me a good morning or is this a morning to be good on whether I want it or not?" Gandalf asked the now bewildered hobbit, Shiro just shook his head at the old wizards antics but didn't say anything.
"All of them at once I suppose." Bilbo said slightly wondering if the old man had taken leave of his senses. Bilbo then realized that the wizard was staring at him and was slightly put off by it.
"Can I help you?" Bilbo asked. Gandalf continued to stare at him before responding.
"That remains to be seen, I'm looking for someone to share in an adventure." Gandalf said testing the waters in how Bilbo will respond.
"An adventure, no I don't imagine anyone west of Bree will be interested in adventures. Nasty disturbing and uncomfortable things, make you late for dinner." Bilbo said with a nervous chuckle as he went to his mail box to check his mail, hoping the two companions would go away. He noticed that they haven't left and Gandalf was still staring at him.
"Good morning." Bilbo said as he turned to head back in his hole but was stopped by the voice of Gandalf.
"To think that I would have lived to be good morninged by Belladonna Took's son, like I was selling buttons at the door." Gandalf said in an amused voice as he hobbled after the hobbit, Shiro still remaining outside the gate on the road not feeling a need to follow not wanting to scare the already nervous hobbit.
"Beg your pardon." Bilbo said wondering how the old man knows the name of his mother.
"You have changed and not entirely for the Better Bilbo Baggins." Gandalf said, Bilbo now curious about the old man turned to him.
"I'm sorry do I know you?" Bilbo asked the wizard.
"Well you know my name, though you don't remember I belong to it. I am Gandalf and Gandalf means me." Gandalf said finally getting the attention of the hobbit.
"Not Gandalf the wondering wizard who makes excellent fireworks, Old Took used to have them all the time on Mid Summers eve. I had no idea you were still in business." Bilbo said he then put his pipe back in his mouth.
"And where else should I be, I'm pleased you at least remember something about me even if it's only my fireworks." Gandalf said secretly offended that the young hobbit only remembers one thing about him, Shiro was chuckling outside the gate at Gandalf's tone. Bilbo heard the light laughter and turned his focus to the masked companion of the wizard.
"I'm sorry sir but who are you?" Bilbo asked not wanting to be rude. Shiro lowered his hood and mask letting his black hair spill out and exposing his pointed ears.
"My name is Shiro Belmont of Rivendell, I'm here to keep are dear wandering friend out of trouble." Shiro said with an amused tone and was lightly chuckling again as Gandalf gave him a withering glare making his bush eyebrows look like a giant caterpillar.
"Are you an elf sir?" Bilbo asked him, never seeing any of the fair folk close to the shire, but he noticed this man was built rather thick to be an elf but to fair to be a man.
"I'm half human and half elven master Baggins. My father was human while my mother was an elf." Shiro told the hobbit. Bilbo noticed he said was about both his parents, he then realized both his parents must be dead but didn't ask because he wasn't sure if it was a sore subject. He then turned back to Gandalf.
"Well that's decided, it will be very good for you and most amusing for me I shall inform the others." Gandalf said as he then turned to leave.
No, no we do not want any adventures here not today, I suggest you try over The Hill or across The Water. Good morning." Bilbo said before stumbling into his door before opening it then closing the door behind him, he then proceeded locking his door hoping that the situation would be final.
Gandalf then approached the door and carved something on the door that Shiro couldn't see.
"Well I have to say that went rather well don't you agree." Gandalf said as he approached his traveling companion. Shiro looked at him in confusion, it seemed to him that Bilbo wanted nothing more to do with any adventures.
"Are you sure Gandalf? Master Baggins seemed to be quite put off by our presence mostly you then me it seemed." Shiro said to the wandering wizard. Gandalf turned to Shiro with his eyebrow raised in confusion.
"Like I said this will be good for him, now I have a task for you my friend." Gandalf said to the half elf. Shiro turned to the wizard wondering what it is.
"I want you to remain in the Shire and wait for Balin he should be arriving soon and with his age he will need you to guide him." Gandalf said to him, Shiro nodded his head in understanding.
As they walked to the outskirts of the Shire Gandalf turned to Shiro.
"Well this is where we part ways my friend, now I want you to wait here for Balin. Since he knows you he will explain to everyone else that you are a friend." Gandalf said to Shiro.
"Ok Gandalf, when will they arrive if I may ask?" Shiro said to the wizard, Gandalf nodded his head.
"They should be arriving tonight and soon to, so I suggest you get comfortable. I will be back soon good day my friend." Gandalf said to the half elf as he disappeared around the bend leaving to gather the dwarves.
Shiro then got comfortable in a tree close by that overlooked the road into the Shire. He then closed his eyes to be well rested for when the dwarves arrive.
Ok everyone I hope you like this chapter and Stigma18 I hope this chapter is good enough. Favorite and review if you like and I promise Mortal Kombat will be updated soon.
