Prologue
This is a love story, it has everything a girl would want and more. There'll be adventures, dances, lovely words, fights and make-ups. It's a story about falling in love and staying in love, about knowing he's the one, the only one. It's the story of a great adventure, of trolls, elves, orcs, dragons and heroes. This is my story.
I am Tuiilin of the Blue Mountains, I am a dwarfgirl and no I have no beard, neither do I have the statue of a man. Actually I just look like a small human girl, well I am kind of different compared to most of the other girls of my kind. They were more of what is generally thought about dwarf women, none of them have beards, but they are built a lot stronger and kind of wider than human women, what man most like about them are there large breasts, of course and their wide bottoms, typically man. I have smaller boobs, still big, but smaller, wide hips as well but I look more fragile and with my light blond hair, I reassemble more an elf than a dwarf. Which I was mostly made fun of by the other dwarflings throughout my childhood.
At this point I should probably say a few things about my people, the dwarfs. We are, well, really loud and stubborn, at our best days. We have a slight tendency for drinking too much and then doing stupid things, especially when we're young. We are most known for our mining and forging, our beards and again for the drinking. We are, let's say, on no good terms with the elves and mostly everybody. I guess that's because we are so small and the man have to prove they are as good, even better, than the other race and therefor they are not the nicest people.
We dwarfs live in the mountains, and so it's said, prefer being under the earth and are scared of the suns, which is far but true! I for myself love the sun, the sky and the wind and I fell a little uncomfortable thinking about mines and holes in the mountain and being stuck there for all my life.
Gold is allegedly the only thing important to us, next to beer and diamonds, well I sort of have to admit that's kind of true, tough I am ashamed of that. But dwarfs, especially the man, are crazy about their treasures, they hide them away for no one to see. The real problem is not the gold, but the women, a man counts her among his treasures and therefore hides her away as well.
I have never really been interested in gold or silver or diamonds, neither am I interested in being hidden away by some stupid men.
As you may already see, I am not a common dwarf and my opinions are not very popular, while some women agree with me, men mostly just laugh at me and try to send me off to the kitchen, except from my family of course.
But not everything is bad about my kind, we are the best if it comes to loyalty, storytelling, singing, dancing and celebrating in generally. Yes, our parties are the best in middle earth, it's because we practice a lot, like on a daily basis. Surprisingly I am very popular on parties, as long as I shut up of course, I am good at drinking, singing and dancing, well I love celebrating. I used to sing and dance around, all the time, when I was a kid which got me stupid comments, from some people about being more of an elf than a dwarf.
They were right tough, I seemed more like a petite elf to most people than a dwarf and that was the reason why I grew up in the palace, alongside the princes. Thorin Oakenshield, King under the mountain, soon realise the elves loved my looks and behaving, and that having me around when they came to visit made them less aggressive towards the dwarfs. So it came in handy that I didn't have a family anyways and so he adopted me, when I was very young.
He took me to the palace when I was 9 years old, it was a few days after his birthday.
