Hobbit

It’s a Surprise “Yes, it’s true, why would I lie? Especially about this?” “You really called a dwaven lord ‘Harder’ instead of ‘Hargar’ for an entire council meeting?” You couldn’t get your head around the face that an especially important dwarf such as Thorin Oakenshield could have a regal mishap. “It sounded like it, what can I say?

scientists and free of the pollution that plagued our world, raising our oceans daily. After a few minutes from beneath the gross blanket, I saw an island come into view. It appeared to be man made, disguised as remote from a bird’s-eye view, like a hobbit hole. Transparent glass allowed me to see inside, a busy workshop of people, working hard to experiment with each vial. Little vials were scattered amongst the tables, some tilted dangerously close to spilling. Most concoctions had little…
