Authors note: Alatar is a character inspired by J.R.R Tolkien. Also Ooo is just a place in the world not the whole planet. My first Fanfic so reviews are appreciated even if negative.
Chapter 1: A quest of heroes.
I grumbled slightly as I approached the broken down old house. "Hiking is a young man's game and not for the likes of me."
The house was a wreck, smashed windows and completely overgrown. I began to wonder if I had come to the wrong place just as a greenish man wearing torn yellow robes and pointy hat jumped out from behind his door. "You're on my property and I'm Magic Man," He announced almost singing.
"I know exactly who you are; I was hoping you could help me," I replied.
"Well then you should know that I'm a big Jerk and help is not what I do," He continued on with his sing song voice which was getting increasingly more frustrating.
I sighed "You have changed; you are not the same man you use to be… Belerore."
He suddenly adopted a very blank and serious look on his face. "I have not been known by that name for quite some time," He slowly replied.
"Now, I wish to know the way to the land of Ooo, and more importantly its heroes Finnegan and his hound Jacob," I asked him.
"Northwest past the Ice kingdom and before the Candy lands." He instructed in a monotone voice.
"Thank you," I replied nodding my head as I left.
The instructions he had given me were legitament for I soon arrived at the front door of a great oaken tree house. It had multiple tiers with windows on each and a lookout jutting out from the top.
I knocked at the door and a golden furred pug opened the door holding a mug of coffee.
"Hello I am Alatar I have…" I was interrupted by the dog closing the door in my face.
"Finn," Jacob cried. I had heard of such magical talking dogs but never encountered one before.
"Finn come here!" He was now shouting.
I stood there dressed in a dark blue cowl and robe; I held an ironwood staff with a white prism stone lodged in the top.
"Where's the danger." Finnegan quickly dropped to the doorway brandishing a shining broadsword. He was rather mature for his age and wore a polar bear hat, a blue shirt and shorts.
"There's a guy at the door, with a staff." Jacob complained.
"Well let him in, Staves are math." Finnegan replied.
"No Finn" Jacob moaned but Finnegan had already began to open the door.
"Hello sorry about him, he doesn't like wizards." Finnegan apologized.
"Hello Finnegan I am Alatar I have come from the west with a quest of grave importance." I said.
"A quest, that's algebraic, see Jake this guy's cool." Replied Finnegan. "By the way you can just call me Finn and this is Jake."
"I guess you can come inside and talk." Jake said with a worrying tone.
We moved into their living room where Jake gave me a mug of sweet tea and a place to sit. It was quite homely with a big window looking over the rolling hills of the grasslands, there was a kitchen connected to the room where Jake stood watching me quite closely with an odd look.
"So Alatar what's this quest you were talking about?" Asked Finn as he sat opposite me listening intently.
"I have come from a far off land much past the borders of Ooo. I wish for your help in a quest against a dark and evil power… The Lich has returned." I said in a deep whispering voice.
"Wait what I thought I trapped him in the outer dimensions or something." Announced Jake.
"No, He has returned and is much more powerful than ever before, this quest will be far greater and more dangerous than anything either of you have ever embarked on." I said in a slow daunting voice.
