Okay, I do not own any of the characters in this story except for the ones I have made up.
I would like to own the hobbits but sadly I did not get them for Christmas. *sigh* Maybe next
year.......



Beginnings……

The year is 2001 and this is the story of Azalea and the unlikely adventure that changed
her life forever. Azalea was always a little odd, her foster parents, teachers, and peers
knew this right off. Even at first appearance she was very much different, she looked
different from her classmates and well everyone. She was 18 years old but only stood 3'10,
people would think she was as midget but she was very properly proportioned. She would have
been considered a very beautiful girl if not for her "strange" qualities. Azalea had long
strawberry blonde ringlets that ran down to her shoulders and deep green eyes that
always seemed to sparkle. She was also a very sweet and kind person, loved to laugh and talk.
But, because of her size, and the cruelty of some people, she was picked on without mercy. This
turned her very reclusive and sad, drowning herself in books and stories, especially Lord of the
Rings. She practically wished for the adventure the flooded her mind as she read. Somewhere deep
inside she knew that she did not belong here and wondered what she had done to deserve such a
fate. Azalea longed for friends who understood her and people to love her.
