It all started in a hole on the ground, on a day where sky was clear and sun was starting to set. On a bench; sitting placidly almost looking as if she was asleep, there was a small creature; not taller than three feet tall, with curly brown hair, warm big eyes and hairy feet.
Her name was Biliana, Biliana Baggins to be more specific, daughter of Bungo Baggins and the infamous Belladonna Took. She lived in Bag- end, on the town of Hobbiton, placed on the northwest lands of the middle earth.
Biliana was thirty two years old, a very young age for a hobbit. She had lived in Bag-end since she was born and she had never gone further than the Hill, she was just a normal hobbit, she lived her perfect live and have everything in complete order, her life was calmed and she was always predictable and cautious, she did never go out unless it was extremely necessary, well, she didn't until a tall and shadow made her wake up from her placid dreams…
"Good Day!" The stranger said with a deep voice "Good Day" she replied blinking astonished at the tall man "Baggins" He said "Biliana Baggins, isn't it?" He asked, she started to wonder why did that old man dressed with a grey tunic, wrinkled face, grey eyes matching his clothes and white bearded face knew her "Yes indeed" She replied "May I ask where have we met?" The old man smiled and smirked, and rested his long stick on the floor "Your mother, my young hobbit, your mother knew me well, Belladonna, Oh! What a wonderful hobbit, adventurous and brave, I wonder If she passed that to you" He inquired, the hobbit did not longer follow the conversation and just looked at the man quietly. "My dear Miss Baggins, my name is Gandalf The Grey, I'm a wizard" Now she remembered, she remembered the stories her mother used to told her, stories about crazyadventures and magic, and even stories about elves, those wonderful creatures who lived in the forest and who were beautiful! She used to mention a lot the wizard's name, that was, of course, years before the accident.
"Yes, yes, my mother knew you, but may I also ask the reason for you to come after such a long time?" She asked. Biliana was not stupid, and she knew that the wizard had a very good reason to come back after all that years. "I see" he said "You are just as straight as Belladonna, well, I will not lie to you Miss Baggins, I am indeed here for a purpose, you see Biliana, for an old wizard as me there are some things we learn after all those ages, we learn to choose, to choose the right person for the right quest, and you, my dear hobbit, are the chosen one this time" Biliana was now intrigued "I need your help, Biliana, I need you to come on an adventure" By the mere fact of hearing that word the hobbit's face changed completely, her half smile was blew away with a disgust face and terror "I think you have mistaken, you have come to the right place, we don't want adventures on Bag-end, Excuse me, Good Day" She snap, and without letting the wizard say a word more she walked quickly to the small rounded green door and closed it behind her, Biliana lied on her small armchair, still trying to believe what had just happened, was she really invited to an adventure, what a crazy idea! Her, a hobbit who never went out of the sire on an adventure? That was just mad! Even if her mother was like that it didn't have to mean that she would be like brave and likely to go out, she was much more like her father. "An adventure" she muttered sarcastically. But even though her mind said it was crazy, a small part of her heart regretted continuously having refused and was yelling for her to accept the proposal, but that was just a very small part of her, a small loud part.
Gandalf was left with a blinked expression, but suddenly he cracked a smile, and then he laughed "No my dear hobbit" he said going to her door and making a mark on it with his stick "I'm afraid you are already into the adventure, your fate can't be changed." Then he left muttering something like "I wonder if your mother ever talked her about dwarves?"…
