A New Life in a New World

Chapter 2

Hobbiton

It had been nearly ten years since Harry and Luna had arrived in the Shire and five years since they allowed Bilbo to fully adopt them. In the first five years since they arrived they taught themselves how to use their new magic. They found that movement helped to control where they wanted the element to go or even to turn into. When Luna accidently turned her arm into fire when she got angry at Harry they also realized that not only can they control their elements, they could turn into them as well. Combining their elements with their animagus forms made for some very interesting combinations as well.

They decided that since they were starting a new life that they should get names as well. Luna chose to go by Nusha which meant Hopeful Ocean and Harry chose Koehvin which meant Earth Storm. Luna felt that since she had such hope for the future and that water was one of her main elements to control that Nusha suited her perfectly. Harry on the other hand chose his because not only was earth, air and stone his elements to call but it also showed his hard to destroy nature.

They chose to let Bilbo adopt them after they told him about their past. When the only thing he did was hug them and say how glad he was that they trusted him enough to share such a big part of themselves with him that truly brought them to the point where they could begin healing. It had taken five years to learn to trust others again but they were glad they had as it gave them the family they wanted. With no secrets between them and a future ahead of them they were truly happy.

Nusha grew into a beautiful young lady that had a slightly willowy frame that had her knee length hair pulled up into braids. Some of the braids were thin some thick, some were straight and some zigzagged and all of them started at the front of the head moving back at an angle until they were at the crown of her head. Her braids held metals of gold, silver and mithril in them. Where the braids were connected and entwined in a bun before letting the rest of her hair fall in a wave. About a year after Bilbo adopted them their ears grew a small point that was slightly smaller than hobbits.

Koehvin on the other hand was a very handsome man with a lean frame that hid the muscles he had developed. He also had long hair that went to just below his waist and was just as uncontrollable as in had been when it was short unless pulled into braids as well. He had two small braids that started at the top of his head and came towards the front before curving back in a circular fashion overtop several more braids that also started centered on the side of his head curved in a circle in the opposite manner of the other two braids crossing under one braid and over two straight braids that went to the back of his head. He also had one braid on either side of his head located below the other braid that curved to the back and all the braid connected in a knot at the back of his head where the rest of his head hung free. Each of the braids had several small gems of emerald, sapphire and amber in them. The two siblings had discovered that by using that patterns they braided their hair with they could hold part of the power from their elements that they could pull on faster than they could the free elements. The metal and gems helped them connect as they were always in contact with their barer.

Having found that telling Bilbo of their past brought no disbelief merely comfort and interest helped them to open up about their feeling on what happened. Now knowing about their past and what it was that caused the hurt and shadows in the ones he loved Bilbo was able to start helping them heal in a way that they could not before as they blamed themselves for all that happened in the war. It took many talks over several years before they were able to stop blaming themselves for what happened and surviving when those they considered family didn't. The most important thing that Bilbo did was not tell them it wasn't their fault but to talk them in circles until they admitted when it was someone else that was at fault for killing or torturing one of their friends and it was that person's actions that were the catalyst. If something happened that caused death by Koehvin or Nusha's action then he helped them to forgive themselves. It took a lot of time and talks before healing happened and even then they sometimes backtracked to that emotional low. Luckily it was getting further and further between each of these episodes.

The best way Bilbo found to knock them out of depression was to throw in with the Took and Brandybuck children as their rowdy natures easily pulled Koehvin and Nusha out and into playing. This also taught them how to be the children they never had a chance to be before.

When Koehvin was 13 and Nusha 12 they decided it was time to start training again in the martial arts as well as teach Bilbo some of what they knew. It took some time but they finally convinced Bilbo to learn Capoeira, Parkour, archery and knife fighting. Both Koehvin and Nusha knew capoeira, parkour and knife fighting while Nusha also knew aikido and archery while Koehvin knew sword fighting and Jujutsu. As capoeira was a fighting style that used the legs and feet the most and parkour was the ability to run escape over or under any obstacle in your path they were something that Bilbo could use at any time. Thanks to always being barefoot and walking everywhere hobbits had feet as tough as boiled leather and just as strong. Also since hobbits were pacifists then the ability to escape harm was something that was just as useful especially when it was combined with hobbits natural magic that allows them to hide in plain sight. It took a little more convincing about learning archery and knife fighting but they managed. He may be very reluctant to learn but he was also very good at what they taught him.

When Koehvin and Nusha were 19 and 18 respectively they decided it was time to explore their new world. They promised Bilbo that they would write and visit often so that he always knew how they were doing. Since they were able to use the elements to travel faster that meant they could go anywhere in the world and still visit Bilbo several times a year.

They traveled to the Blue Mountains first where they heard talk of a dwarf king who was looking for other dwarrow willing to help him take his mountain back from a dragon. So far most all of the dwarrow that he asked has said no and that it was a suicide mission. Something told the siblings that they would be getting involved sooner or later and that it was important they do, so they asked the elements of air and metal to watch over the king for the time being.

Upon leaving the Mountain they went on to explore the elven kingdom though they wanted to keep their existence as secret as possible. Before arriving in Rivendell they turned into air and water so they could explore without hindrance. Luckily Nusha had taught herself to turn into all three states of water so she wasn't stuck with staying where the visible water was.

They always sent a letter to Bilbo after they left the newest place they visited and also went to see him at least once a year if only to see how he was doing. It was during their latest visit when Koehvin was 24 and Nusha 23 that things changed. They had gone fishing to get supper when Nusha stiffened and her eyes went pure silver. Koehvin had seen this happen before when he had a vision so he just kept an eye on her while he continued fishing.

After several minutes she blinked and said, "We are going to meat. A lot of dwarves will be arriving for supper." With that she turned and picked up her bow and went to hunt deer and rabbits. Koehvin watched in confusion before a breeze suddenly surrounded him and told him that the dwarf king was on the move and headed to the Shire. Apparently he and his group of 13 other dwarves had been told by an Istari that they would be meeting their burglar here. Almost unsurprisingly the burglar they were to meet was one Bilbo Baggins of Bag End.

"This should be interesting! So it is finally time to stop hiding." Koehvin thought.

He and Nusha had managed to avoid meeting any of the Istari since they first came to Arda and figured the only reason that they were still unknown was because the Valar had hidden them or they were known to the Istari but they had been told to stay away. Either way he wondered how this meeting would go.
