Witches Rune
By: Rainbow Haired Girl
Summary: Five witches are called upon to become part of the company by none other than Gandalf the Grey. Thorin allows them to come with them. But what are the five witches hiding? Multiple Pairings in this story.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Hobbit, but I do own Amaya, Kaida, Morgana, Isaura, and Celeste.
Authoress Note: Welcome to Witches Rune. This is going to be far different than my Maiar Story. Granted in certain spots it will take a few paths that are similar to Maiar Story, but I don't want to copy it 100%. Seeing the fact that there will be five characters that will be dealt with in this story. Plus this story will be going in different directions for each character at times, hopefully not though. The prologue is something that is going to be different. I decided to have a character meeting up with Gandalf in Bree for a certain reason. I decided that it was best due to the fact that I don't want it to really be the same as the other stories that I am working on. I won't tell you which witch will be meeting up with Gandalf in this Prologue, but it is the start of something that will cause to lead into the Hobbit. It will not be following the Hobbit all the way. I will be adding things into the story that is for sure that is 100% purely mine. Something that is meant to be a secret.
The Five Witches
Amaya The Yellow Witch
Kaida The Green Witch
Morgana The Blue Witch
Isaura The Red Witch
Celeste The White Witch
Pairings:
Amaya/Fili, Kaida/Kili, Morgana/Bilbo, Isaura/Thorin, and Celeste/Ori.
Without further ado the Prologue of Witches Rune. I hope that you enjoy it.
Prologue
A figure walked down the streets of Bree. The figure was drenched due to the heavy rain that was falling to the ground in cascades of prickly cold daggers. The person held a small staff in their hand and their height was small which would make anyone around think that the person was a teenager. They stopped and looked up at the sign that said Prancing Pony. They shook their head and went inside of the Prancing Pony. They pulled back the hood of their travelling cloak some so they could see better for who they were searching for. Their eyes began to look over the people that were already inside of the Prancing Pony.
Soon their eyes landed on an old man dressed in all grey. The very man that they were looking for. The person strode towards them carefully avoiding those who were walking around drunkenly and trying to stay upright on their feet. The person finally reached the old man and put their small red guarded hand onto his grey clothed arm.
The old man turned his head and looked down at the person who was dressed in a dark red cloak hiding their features except for their amber colored eyes. His features softened when he saw who had grabbed onto him. "I am glad that you could come." He told the person. He had seemed at ease with the person that was now with him.
The person looked up at him and crossed their arms. "This was not the wisest place to call for a meeting Gandalf." The person said revealing that she was indeed female. She sounded uncomfortable being there at the edge of the Shire. The woman removed her hood revealing long red hair. She looked up at him. "You know that this is not a smart idea for me to be here." She shook her head trying to figure out why Gandalf would have her come all this way here for just a simple meeting. Usually it was in the woods near the Misty Mountains.
Gandalf pulled something out of his pocket and handed it over to her.
The woman looked at him confused and saw that it was a message. Not just any kind of message. A message for someone's head and she knew by the writing that it was from an Orc leader that they thought was dead due to the battle in Moria. Her eyes shot up to Gandalf's. Worry was written across them. Why was he showing her this? This meant that the most evilest Orc that had ever lived was still very much alive and still defiling people. "Whose head?" She asked softly, as she handed it back to him.
"Thorin Oakenshield." He told her. "Isaura you know what this means."
Isaura nodded her head. "It means that someone wants him dead and they are looking towards the Lonely Mountain. Gandalf, I know what you are thinking. And it is fatal." She shook her head at the thought. "You want the dragon Smaug destroyed. It is a dangerous task to ask the dwarves of Erebor to reclaim their homeland in such a way. It is something that the dwarves will not do. You know this."
Gandalf nodded his head. "But that dragon has rested there long enough. You know this Isaura. You know how dangerous dragon fire is. We cannot risk that if our enemy hasn't been destroyed."
Isaura pinched the bridge of her nose. How was she going to explain it to the others who lived with her in the Mountains? This was going to be a big problem. "So you will seek out Thorin Oakenshield to advise him to march upon the mountain regardless if he has a few who go with him and no army? Smaug had wiped out a lot that day and you know it."
Gandalf put his hand on Isaura's red clothed arm. "Yes, but if the enemy decides to take a chance and use the dragon to his ability."
Isaura let out a soft sigh. She crossed her arms and closed her eyes thinking of what Gandalf had said. It was true of what he said, but nothing at that moment would not make the choice any easier. She calmed herself before she overheated herself and caused a huge problem right in the middle of Bree. They didn't need to know that she was a witch and a fire witch at that. She opened her eyes and looked at Gandalf. "Come to the forest and we will talk then." She told him. "I am sure that the rest of the witch order would like to know what you have in that mind of yours, Gandalf."
Gandalf knew that was true. The witches order was much different than the wizard order. They were more understanding and not someone to shoot down an idea. "I will."
She pulled her hood over her head.
"You are leaving already?" He questioned the amber eyed woman.
The woman looked up at him and smiled a small sad smile. "Yes, I should report back to the order and tell them what you have found, Gandalf."
Gandalf knew that she was not going to be so trusting with this. He knew that Isaura the Red Witch was not going to be so trusting with them going to march upon the mountain, but he had to at least try. Meeting with the five of them together was going to be a bad thing. He knew that the witches were going to be very very protective of what this quest that he had in mind. He was willing to try anything that he needed to do to make sure that Smaug would not become one of the enemies weapons. It would cause major destruction and death. More than what five wizard and five witches could handle.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
This is the end of the Prologue. The next chapter will be a filler chapter that will lead right into the Hobbit, but it is going to be different. It will be odd having five witches in this story due to the fact that I am not use to writing five witches and each having a special gift. I introduced the red witch for a reason. In a way Gandalf and her have something in common even though she is fairly younger than Gandalf. But Gandalf will be meeting up with them very soon. That is a promise. I know it isn't the best prologue, but it was the best that I could come up with. Until next time.
