Chapter 1

Brothers meant for war

A long summers end and the constant antics of wizard brothers, Saruman and Gandalf will not be forgotten by the people of Irmo. In particular, the brothers constantly were creating their own fireworks that they would routinely sell to the hobbits when they made trips to Bree. These brothers were both gifted with extraordinary talent in wizadry. Gandalf was seen as the wisest wizard, while Saruman was looked upon as the wizard with the most guile. The brothers would always defend one another and were always found together. Gandalf was the older brother, who always seemed to be stuck in his books, absorbing all of the information his elders could pass on to him. However, Saruman was constantly scamming other wizards, humans, and elves out of their gold. The brothers were quite the pair when they were together, but they had one key difference that set them apart. What set the brothers apart was how they felt that middle earth should be ruled. Gandalf believed that the kingdoms could remain divided, but Saruman believed one rule over all of middle earth would be the most satisfactory. These differences would forever set the two brothers apart as they reached adulthood.
