Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters fromThe Hobbit in both book and movie. Everything belongs to the J.R.R. Tolkien, who's a bit of an evil man for giving the ending that he did lol!
Warnings: Slash!
Much of this dialogue is taken from the movie (with a few additions from yours truely), also can any of you guess some of the tells that a mentioned by the story-teller? Also this is a AU!
The Hobbit Prince
Prologue: Come For A Story?
Ah, hello there!
Have you come for a story? Well then, come sit, tea? Here you go, now then what story would you like to hear? Hmm….how about the story of a lost princess that has magical golden hair locked away in a tower, freed and taken on an adventure by a mysterious but kind thief? No? Alright, what about the tale of a Beauty that tames a Beast...Not your fancy aye, hmmm…how does the tale of a little mouse who gets separated from his family and looks for them in the new world, befriending a large silly cat along the way? Or perhaps you would like to hear of an Evil King, a magical pig, and a black cauldron...dull huh.
You my young friend, are a very hard person to entertain haha, now let's see…there is one story I'm sure you'll enjoy, but first tell me this, do you know what a Hobbit is? You don't?!Goodness, what are they teaching youngsters nowadays, why I have half a mind to—what's that...Oh yes a Hobbit.
Well, a Hobbit is a small creature hardly the size of Men, and half the size of Dwarves, they prefer gardening then adventuring (well some do, but I'll get to that later), rather have afternoon tea then deal with anything not proper of a Hobbit, and yet for some reason, the greatest adventures always begins with a Hobbit….
Middle-earth is full of many races, but only four will I speak of, there are the Elves, the oldest race, immortal and unearthly beautiful. They are keepers of knowledge, healing, and much wisdom; there is the race of Men, who unlike the Elves are mortals. They do much good as they do much evil; many say that they are mysterious as the wizards themselves.
Which leads me to our next group, the Wizards, though that is what the other races call them, no their real name is just a mysterious as they. Not much is known about this race of five, mostly because not much is given, the only thing anyone knows is that they help the people of Middle-earth when they are needed. Dwarves are the craftsmen of Middle-earth, who were unequal in their skills, as well as their stubbornness and lust for treasure, though that does not mean they are bad.
Finally, we come to our last important race of Middle-earth (not to say the others were less then important), the Hobbits, who I already told you about, and now I will tell you another tale, a tale that Middle-earth still speaks of today.
In a land far away to the East, the like of which you would not find in the world today, there was a city called Dale, its markets known far and wide, bounties of the finest, peaceful and prosperous, for this city lay before the doors of the greatest kingdom in Middle-earth, Erebor.
Stronghold of Thrain, King under the mountain, mightiest of the Dwarf lords.
Thrain ruled with utter surety, never doubted his house would endure, for his line lay secure in the lives of his son and grandson.
Ah, what I would give to see Erebor, built deep within the mountain itself, the beauty of this fortress city is a legend. Its wealth lay in the earth, precious gems and stones picked from rock and great seams of gold running like rivers through stone.
As I said before, the skill of the dwarves was unequalled, fashioning objects with great beauty, out of diamonds, emerald, ruby and sapphire. Ever deep they dug in the dark and that is where they found it, the heart of the mountain.
The Arkenstone.
Thrain named it the King's Jewel, and took it as a sign, a sign that his right to rule was divine, All would pay homage to him, Dwarves from other lands, Men and even the great Elven king Thranduil, there was also one more who came to pay their respects and alliance to the great Dwarven King.
They came from the West, pulling along carts of the best Harvest, dressed in simple clothing and wore no shoes(though who could find shoes for such large feet), they were King Gerontinus Took, and Queen Adamanta Took, ruler of the Hobbits, and with them their eldest daughter Belladonna, barely just out of tween-hood.
Thrain, though he thought little of the Hobbits,accepted their allies, for he was a wise King, and knew that such an alliance with the Hobbits who's lands were always plentiful with food would help in the event should his people suffer from drought and hunger. Never was he to know that by doing this, his home and his people would be saved.
For years there was peace, but the years of peace and plenty were not to last. Slowly the days turn sour, and the watchful night were closed in. Thrain's love of gold had grown too fierce. A sickness had begun to grow within him.
It was a sickness of the mind and where sickness thrives, bad things will follow.
The first they heard was a noise like a hurricane coming down from the north high the pines from the mountains creaked and cracked, creating high and dry wind. He was a fire drake, a Dragon from the North. Smaug had come. Such unwanted death was dealt that day, for this city of Men was nothing to Smaug, his eyes was on another prize.
For Dragons, covered gold was a dark and fierce desire.
Though the Dwarves fought bravely it was all for not.
Erebor was lost.
For a Dragon will guard his plunder for as long as he lives.
When Thranduil, who heard the call for help, arrived with his army, he took in the destruction made by the dragon….and turned away, for he would not risk the lives of his kin against the Dragon. No help came from the Elves that day. All hope had seem lost, and the Dwarves began to mourn for their homeland…then as though from Ilúvatar himself they appeared.
Dressed in armor, riding upon the backs of hybrids (who's parentage was that of wargs and wolves), and led by Belladonna, who took the crown after the passing of her parents and was now Queen, were the Hobbits.
Hobbits! Hardly the size of Men, half the size of Dwarves, known to prefer reading and gardening to anything remotely adventurous, had heard the call, had come to their aid.
The Dwarves of Erebor at seeing such a sight, felt their hope, courage and strength return to them, and together, with Prince Thorin and Belladonna leading, they took up arms and charged back into the mountain!
What a battle it was!
Long and hard, full of fire and death, but none on either side gave way, then something happen that many even today still speak of, Smaug had cornered the Hobbit Queen, his great mouth opened to devour her whole, but Belladonna showed no fear. Instead she swung her mighty hammer (which was bigger than a Dwarf and heavier then then heaviest stone, yet she carried and swung it about as though it weighted nothing more than a feather), and hit the Drake with great force, stunning the beast. Such actions allowed Thorin to deliver a killing blow to the Dragon's underbelly, the weakness of all Dragons.
His sword pierced through the skin and heart, killing Smaug.
Dwarves and Hobbit's cheered as the Mountain was reclaimed, songs of praises were sung for Prince Thorin and Queen Belladonna, celebrations were had and two Houses, Durin and Took, became the greatest of friends.
Their story of courage spread through the land, and many leaders of all kinds came to not only offer their alliances to the Hobbits but to help restore both what the mountain and the city had lost (even some Elves, though the Dwarves, especially Thorin were reluctant for their help).
Three years later, Belladonna had (who had been engaged at the time that the Dragon had attacked), became with child and a few months later the House of Durin arrived at the Home of the Queen and King Bungo(who's is a very important person in this tale), to give gifts and congratulations on their infant son.
But such peace and joy was not to last, for in a day of Fall on a moonless night, he came.
Azog the Defiler,a white Orc whose cruelty knew no bounds, and with his army of Orcs he attacked the House of Took and its people, the Hobbits taking by surprised fought back, but to little use. By the time helped arrived it was too late.
The land of the Hobbits was destroyed, homes burnt, many laid dead, and those that weren't were either taken as slaves by the Orcs or had fled. King Bungo's body had been found, and buried….
Oh! Will you look at the time, of you go then, what's that? What happened to the Queen and her son? I'll tell you tomorrow, now be off with you! I will not be scolded again because you were late for dinner.
Review Please! And don't forget about the mentioned stories!
