Chapter 1: The Shire

I stretched my tired limbs holding onto the reins of my horse lightly turning my head to see that Gandalf was smoking his pipe keeping his eyes on the road.

"Are we getting close Uncle Gandalf, aren't we going to be late?" I asked impatiently, we had been traveling in a quiet bliss for days and it was getting rather dull.

"Yes my dear we are coming up on our destination now, you are as restless as your mother." He said making me smile sadly saying, "I can't believe it's been barely a year since she passed, I still miss her dearly."

"As do I Marina but she would be proud of you." Gandalf said making me smile saying, "Mother said my father is from the Shire do you think he would have relatives here?"

I saw the smile leave Gandalf's face as he said, "That my dear I don't know, she never told me who your father was nor seemed to ever want to bring it up."

I frowned looking forward saying, "I just wish I had known him, just once."

"Perhaps one day my dear but for now let us not dwell on the past." He said as he began singing while he smoked his pipe making me smile looking forward.

The scenery became even lovelier as we saw small Hobbit homes in the distance and miles of farmland and trees, it really was a beautiful place. I saw to my side a young hobbit approaching smiling happily towards Gandalf.

"You're late." He said while Gandalf stopped saying, "A wizard is never late Frodo Baggins, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to."

I saw them eye each other suddenly erupting in laugher as he jumped onto Gandalf's cart hugging him happily. Once he settled down in the seat beside Gandalf his eyes traveled to me as I gave him a kind smile.

"I'm sorry where are my manners I'm Frodo Baggins." He said politely as I smiled back saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Marina."

He eyed my ears for a moment saying, "You're an elf?"

I laughed saying, "Part elf yes, I've been traveling with Gandalf for about a year now."

"Is this your first time visiting the shire?" he asked making me nod replying, "It is indeed and this place is absolutely lovely so far."

"I'm glad you think so." He said smiling before turning to Gandalf realizing they wanted to speak alone so I let myself go back a bit to give them some space.

Keeping my eyes ahead I began to wonder why my mother wanted to visit this place when I was born, she had spoken so fondly of it when I was small but after a while, it seemed she just wanted to forget about it. I could only assume it was because of my father passing since Hobbits didn't live as long as elves I deducted it was the only safe assumption. Still, I often wondered why we still couldn't visit, at least to pay respects to what family he had.

I watched children run around staring at my horse curiously until they saw Gandalf yelling for him but stopped frowning. It was cut short though watching the little fireworks go off seeing the children cheer happily watching Frodo hop out of Gandalf's carriage waving towards me before running off. I rode up by Gandalf as we reached a large hobbit hole as I looked at it mesmerized.

I got off my horse tying him to the wooden fence letting him nibble on the grass as I saw a sign for no trespassers. Gandalf went ahead of me looking at the hobbit hole fondly as he knocked on the door while I was behind him looking around.

"I'm sorry but I'm not taking any visitors right now." I heard a voice say from inside as Gandalf laughed replying, "How about for very old friends?"

The door opened quickly as I heard a small voice say Gandalf's name as they hugged seeing a hobbit with graying hair. I peeked my head around as they let go of each other seeing him eye me for a moment as Gandalf put his hand on my shoulder ushering me forward.

"Marina this is my dear friend Bilbo Baggins." Gandalf said as I held my hand out saying, "It's an honor to meet you Master Baggins, my mother has told me so much about your adventure taking back the lonely mountain."

"I'm honored but who was your mother?" he asked making me smile saying, "Oh how rude of me I'm Lossëa's daughter."

I saw his eyes widen as he said softly, "Lossëa…"

I nodded smiling towards him as he stared at me feeling Gandalf squeeze my shoulder as I looked up hearing him say, "Marina my dear we've been traveling a while why don't you go explore the shire while I catch up a little with Bilbo."

"Okay, I shall return later, it was lovely meeting you Master Baggins." I said smiling kindly while he said quietly, "You as well."

With that, I left making my way towards the hustle and bustle part of the Shire happy to be walking around once more.
