I would like to start by thanking the reader for clicking on my story. This is the fifth story I have ever worked on and posted online to be read publicly. I do not have a beta to help proofread my work, so mistakes will be present. I will try to mitigate them as much as possible. If there are mistakes, please let me know so that I can correct them grammatically.

I do not own any of the characters in this story that were created by J.R.R. Tolkien, full name John Ronald Reuel Tolkien nor do I own the rights to the movie franchise directed by Peter Jackson. I am not making any money or proceeds from this story or any other story that I upload onto this site. This story is simply a plot bunny that I needed to get out of my head. The only characters I can claim as my own are the original ones. The reader will recognize them as original because they were not in any of the original books or movies.

I will be adding trigger warnings as I see fit at the beginning of the chapter if they are needed. This story will be labeled as MA. It may take a while to reach that level, but it is there all the same.

I do not intend to character bash without restraint as there are areas of the original story line that I intend to address, alter, or ignore completely. I do not intend to have the basic troupes or Mary Sue type characters. However, as I am still new to writing all I can ask is that the reader is understanding. Please leave reviews so that I can know how I am doing!
