Chapter Text
First came a precious and powerful stone that drew the attention of many, then came a curse that ruined the life of those who lived at the Lonely Mountain; lastily, but not least, came a brave creature whose curiosity made him embark on the most unbeliavable journey of all.
This was the first time such a long period of peace had reigned over Middle Earth for as long as anyone could remember.
The hobbits at the Shire walked under the sun, happy and unbothered, the elves hunted through the forests and Erebor was prospering after many years of silence from it's people and their king.
All of that was thanks to a small halfling named Bilbo Baggins.
A hobbit that had the courage to talk up to the king, be patient enough to listen and kind enough to forgive him, but most of all he was determined to fight for what was right despite the posibility of losing his own life or the person he loved.
However, they didn't end up losing either and every person in Erebor could see how much love their King held towards the halfling as they watched both of them walk side by side through the valley, talking, smilling with the hobbit bashfully trying to hide his embarassement.
How they helped and complimented each other, bringing out the best in each other, was endearing, making the dwarves grateful every day seeing Thorin so happy and their home prospering under their guidance.
But then again, to get this far was much more complicated than they had expected and even so they remembered those moments with fondness despite the chaos of their so awaited day.
