    Summary

    For Thorin, it started at five with a curse from a wizard.
     
    “I curse your house for now until I have what I seek! Magic has robbed me of that which should be mine, and it shall be a blight on your house from now on. By magic, all your family will burn when the first bears that which was entrusted. When the heart meets with the heart of the line, desolation will come!"

    Years later Thorin would remember that night and his mother’s scream. He would think of the trembling of his baby brother. He would remember huddling with the sons of Fundin in a niche till the guards rescued them.

    He would remember two blanket covered bodies. He would not understand that one was his mother until he was older.

    The wizard had escaped, but Thraín reacted to the curse instantly.

    The Arkenstone that the wizard sought was locked away. Magic was banished from inside Erebor. They closed their doors to outsiders, using Dale to trade instead of their own marketplace. Allies were not let inside the kingdom unless they agreed to be stripped of all magic. Wizards were sent away, magical weapons melted, and magical jewelry destroyed.

    No one expected that a young hobbit would be the one to change it all.
