Temptations and Bad Relations

Chapter 2

Meeting the some of the Company

(Meara's Pov)

As we traveled through the Shire, I allowed my mind to wander over both my knowledge of Middle-Earth or Arda as it was know by the elves and everything Gandalf had said.

I knew that having Gandalf find us was better then not being found at all. There are many a dangerous creature in Arda that would harm those who don't know how to defend

themselves or are too arrogant and think they don't need to be on guard, orcs and wargs were close to the top of the list of those creatures. With the creature at the every top of the list being Smuag the overgrown fire-breathing lizard that stole the kingdom of Erebor from the dwarves who lived there.

"Gandalf I noticed you never answered my question about why my cousin and I were brought to Middle-Earth."

Gandalf sighed and muttered words into his beard that I didn't understand before answering me,

"My dear girl I will answer your questions when I'm ready to and not a second before!"

"Alrighty then u stubborn old wizard at lest answer me this, Why have both Clayton and I changed in height? Why have I grown several inches while has Cj shrunk?"

"If you two had been born in Middle-Earth, your cousin would have been a dwarf and you would have been human. Now hurry up we are running late!"

"Ah but Mithrader a wizard is never late nor are they early. They arrive precisely when they mean to and never before or after."

(No one's Pov)

The conversation between the wizard and Meara went on like this until they came across several dwarves. The names of the said dwarves were, the brothers Ri ;Dori, Nori, Ori. Dori had both white hair and intrictly braided beard. Nori's hair made his head take on a starfish like look. Young Ori had a bowl cut and a very small beard.

The Ur cousins; Bifur, Bofur, Bombur. Bifur had an orc axe stuck in his head from the battle of Azanulbizar and wild black hair with sliver in it. Bofur had a funny looking hat and braids tht stuck up beneath it. Bombur was a VERY large dwarf with ginger hair and a ginger beard.

Finally the brothers In; Oin and Gloin. Oin had grey hair and a grey beard that was braided in circles he also had an ear trumpet since he was quiet deaf the poor old dwarf. Gloin had bright red bushy hair with and equally impressive red beard.

They all eyed Meara in suspicion while almost excepting Cj. He would have been welcomed into their company with no troubles if he hadn't asked what they were saying after they started to speak to him in khazhadul ,the tongue of the dwarves. Meara knew that they were only trying to get answers out of her cousin,

answers to questions that they either didnt trust her to answer or questions that they were asking about her. For dwarves only speak that language around those who arent dwarves when they dont want outsiders to understand what they are saying or when they have important things to say or ask.

"Well lads it looks like we are stuck with an idoit and a mystery lady. Why is that Gandalf always has strange compainions I wonder?" Bofur said to the others. They continued speaking in khazhadul till they reached Bad End. After Gandalf knocked on the bright round green door with his wizards staff they heard some yelling about "I have too many dwarves and a human in my dinning room as it is. If this some lotheads idea of a joke, then all i can say is it is in very poor taste!" and with that the door opened like a pop gun and all the dwarfs fell into the house. The hobbit who had opened the door was none other then Bilbo Baggins himself. The only thing he said after the dwarves had fallen on top of each other to his welcome mat was, "Gandalf."
