The Under Appreciation of Bill the Pony Prologue

Many people have a favorite Fellowship member. Some of my friend favor Frodo, others, Merry, and more still Legolas. Even my mother cannot help squealing at Aragorn. Personally, my favorite is the friendly, loyal, unappreciated pony, Bill.

Bill became the best of friends with Samwise Gamgee, a gardener in the Shire. They were nearly inseparable, until the shadow of the Mines of Moria tore them apart.

Bill the Pony is such a wonderful character because he possesses exquisite qualities that many times fail in the races of Middle-Earth.

After much hunting in the best sources, (my imagination, my mind, and my writing hand) I managed to find a history of this flawless character and how he came to be the tenth of nine.

Sound interesting? Please R/R so I know to write more!
