I don't own Lord of the Rings, but I do own all dragons except Smaug. Sorry my chapters are short so far, story will be a little slow in the begining. Please bear with me thank you.

Chapter 1 Stalking with Dragon

I had finally reached the outpost of Imladris, by human foot no less. I can hardly believe that they cannot fly. 'How sad' I thought 'they will never know the true freedom of flying. The wind against their face, or the clouds looking so soft and inviting enough to sleep on'.

But I digress; I had arrived at evening a few days before the council was to begin. I came early to see how mortals/humanoids acted. Do not misunderstand I have been around humans before, but since the incident years ago concerning the red dragon Smaug, all dragons were forbidden to associate with mortals. Slinking past the elvish guards, dragons can go undetected even with sensitive elvish ears listening.

As it were I looked at the valley fully, I was not impressed. True it was beautiful, but I preferred my lair. Anyway I traveled the city remembering to stay in the shadows. Where suddenly I smelled something not normally found in an elvish city, or any city by that matter, I smelled pumpkins. I followed the scent as my lithe body slipped through every corner and quickly jumped on tree branches, trying to find the source as it got stronger. I reached a large room, making sure I was hidden in the branches as I saw the source of the smell, or rather sources.

There in the room I saw Halflings, one in a bed injured, the other three surrounding him, their faces devastated. I was then assaulted by a feeling of great evil 'This must be the ring' I shivered, 'It is almost as evil as the five-headed dragon' I bowed my head in respect to the dragon goddess of evil. The ring almost made me ill, it smelled horrible, and it was rubbing off on the sleeping Halfling. I heard someone walking towards the room, the intruding being I knew would cause no harm. His scent was like of dirt mixed with smoke, a typical human scent. But the feeling I got from him was one of a regal heritage, then I sniffed something odd about the human. He smelled vaguely of trees and flowers, an elleth scent 'Interesting, I never knew humans could take on elven mates' I thought. One reason I didn't argue over being sent, I can finally mingle freely with other races, I'm as excited as a wrymling!

The human was telling the Halflings to get to bed, that he would be better in the morning. They left slowly clearly not wanting to be separated from their friend. The human left a few hours afterwards and I stayed observing the little one. 'He's so innocent' I thought 'This shouldn't have happened to him. But this cannot be undone. I will protect the little one from the ring and help destroy this evil. I yawned, realizing that I have not slept in three weeks, traveling on foot to get used to walking on two feet again. Quietly I jumped into the room and sat beside the Halfling, and then I nuzzled his face gently and licked him lightly as not to wake him. "Good Night little rauhiss" I whispered as I jumped out to sleep in a tree outside the outpost.
