Continuity (Glóin)
"His time had passed"
The summoning of the Council felt both the same and different to when he and his kin had gathered in a small Hobbit hole and coerced its occupant to be their burglar. The same, because it planned a quest, but different because there was no much needed light-hearted banter to break up the seriousness of it all. The innocent ring before them needed destroying, and he knew even before his old friend volunteered that it would be up to the next generation to finish what theirs had started. His son was chosen and he accepted that his time had passed.
Exactly 100 words. Prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Continuity, Glóin, "His time had passed"). No OCs please, but any other character, however obscure, is welcome.
Oh yeah, if anyone's interested I'm now accepting fic requests. More details are on my profile.
