A/N: hi everyone! This is my first hobbit fabric, and I'm relatively new to the fan fiction community. This story is an eventual Kili x OC story but it is a slow burn romance. I want to build up their friendship first. I'm going to aim to update at least two chapters a week, but I've already wwritten 5/6, if I get good reviews i'll be more motivated to carry on. Constructive criticism is also extremely appreciated. The summary does suck but I promise you it gets better.

That's the end of a long A/N so here goes my first chapter. Following the story of my OC, Luna Lockheart.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of Tolkien's wonderful characters or locations or any of Peter Jackson's movie lines.

Enjoy!

I stood in awe at the sight in front of me as I settled my heavy pack down on the ground.

My waist length blonde hair was blowing around me as I tried to tame it into a braid.

"Wow.." My breath hitched in my throat at the sight of the magnificent gate a few miles in front of me. We had reached our destination it was as the stories said, the lonely mountain was truly marvellous. Constructed from granite, the front gate to the lonely mountain was embellished with a series of intricate patterns and towering statues on either side.

Closer to us lay the city of dale reborn. The world of men. I continued walking over the slightly jagged rocks and uneven terrain with little grace.

"What are you looking a..."My younger blonde haired brother came running up to where I had stopped, being just as amazed as I was.

"Mama, mama look!" He cried out.

"Oh Adrian, it feels like a lifetime since we've been here." My mother signed with content as she marvelled at the majesty of Erebor. Her waist length red hair, kissed by fire blew in the wind. Her figure was a thing of beauty, all men lusted after her when she was a young dwarrow, but only my charming father managed to woo her.

"Yes Nina." My father chuckled, putting his arm around my mother's waist. My father was fairly tall for one of the naugrim with fierce blue eyes and long braided blonde hair as he kissed my mothers head.

"Thorin will be glad to see us, now that we are at peace again." My father said.

"Remember how much fun we had?"

"And how much trouble you got in to" my mother shot him a glance.

"Oh my dear, if it hadn't been for that trouble I would've never met you."

"Besides it was Thorin's idea to break into the dwarrow halls, he was trying to sneak Naina for some time alone".

"And he would've succeeded if a certain SOMEONE hasn't kicked us out." He shot my mother a wry smile.

She just shook her head with a sad smile . I smiled at my parents, it was evident how much they loved each other. I always wanted to find a love like theirs.

" Smaug is gone now so it's safe!" My brother frerin quipped.

I shuddered. The name sent shivers down my spine. I had heard of the death and ruin it had brought upon dale many years ago and more recently the cursed breath of the fire had touched Laketown. Frerin was too young to understand the destruction Smaug had brought to this land. Being only 60 years old, I wasn't old enough to see what happened that fateful day.

I picked up my pack and we ventured forwards towards the city of dale. I heard many great stories about the wondrous city of men and the dealings with dwarves but it would take a while to get back on its feet again.

But even the ruin of Smaug the terrible couldn't stop me from smiling at the blooming markets and boisterous city that lay ahead of me.

"Nina it has been 10 years since we last saw thorin, it will be good to see our old friend again." My father suddenly said.

"You're right, but we shouldn't expect special treatment. He is the king after all." My mother added with a smile.

"Annd" she stretched out catching my attention. "I've heard his Royal nephews are quite a sight to behold".

"They were all you dwarrows talked about in Ered Luin." She added with a playful glint now fully looking at me.

I blushed bright red. She knew fully well my desire to meet the durin princes, due to their valiant efforts. And of course it was said they were easy on the eyes.

Ignoring my mother's looks I asked "Father, May I go further to explore the markets before we go to the mountain?" I inquired.

"Hmm." my father hummed. He looked at my pleading eyes and gave in.

"Alright, don't venture too far Luna!"

But I was already running to the streets of dale, and gave a quick glance to my startled family some ways behind me.

I looked ahead and smiled. This is where my new life started.
