Chapter 2: Chapter 1
Distant cheers rang through the shire, as lights from the neighbouring homes lit up the streets. As a drunken hobbit stumbled through the streets. "Oh cheer! Oh cheer! That's the life for you!" A figure covering their face with a black old cape, loomed behind the hobbit.
*cough* *cough* A fist came up to their mouth.
"Excuse me. Do you know where I can find Mr. Bilbo Baggins home?" A gruff voice rang through the streets.
"Ackkkkk!" The hobbit screeched. He turned around, came face to face with a brooding figure. The hood covered his face, you could see a scruff black beard, with a firm scowl on his lips.
The figure was at least a head taller, with their brood shoulders squared. You could see the handle of a silver sword with a red stone glistening in the moon light. A bag rested on their back, with a bow and arrow perched on the back. The figure wore a fur outline coat, a leather jacket pocket through. Under neath the white tunic is what caught the hobbits attention. A pair of silver tags poked through, this made the hobbit eyes widened and body shake with fear.
"U...Up....t..th...er..e." He stuttered out, as pointing to a home up at the top.
The figure turned around to where the hobbit was pointing.
At the top of the hill stood a hobbit hole with a green door. Lights were on in the home, as horses were gathered outside.
The figure turned around to thank the hobbit. But he was gone.
*sigh*
"This is what you get for asking nicely," the figure mumbled and sulked as he dragged his feet towards the home.

The dwarves were gathered around the fire talking quietly among themselves. The grey wizard kept pacing through the home looking nervous.
"Master Wizard? Are you ok?" Inquired Ori, as he shyly asked in the door way.
"Where is he? He should be here by now?" Mumbled Gandalf not hearing Ori.
"Master Wizard?"
A loud knock rang through the home.
Everyone went quite looking among themselves. Kili counted himself and the others confused, thinking that everyone was here.
Relief and joy came onto Gandalfs face as he hurried towards the door.
"Gandalf? Who is that?" The leader of the company asked as he stood with his arms crossed authority leaking form him.
"Our 15th member Master Oakenshield", Gandalf hurriedly said as the opened the door. "Your late" scolded the wizard.
"Why are you scolding me Gandalf? It's not my fault this place is a maze," the figure replied.
The wizard had a small smile on his face as he shakes his head slightly.

The company were confused. They could not see the stranger, all they could hear is the brief conversation they were having. Thorin and Balin both shared a concerned looks, the king under the mountain was worried by this mysterious person, wondering if he was going to be a danger to the company or could they be a reliable source, either way he wasn't going to let them in so easily not until they can prove themselves.

"Come in! Come in! Meet everyone!" The grey wizard exclaimed, as he stepped aside to let the mercenary in.
Haraldur walks in while ducking his head, looking around as if surveying the area. The blue eyed dwarf began to take of his gear putting it to the side while looking at the different art work.
"Lovely home..." Haraldur said looking up at the wizard.
"Ahhh yes the hobbit that lives here is quite fond of it."
"Mmmm" Haraldur nodding while looking at the interior. "How many?"
"How many?"
"How many dwarfs am I working with?" The dwarf replied with an eyebrow raised, while finally taking off his fur coat.
Chuckling, just like his father.
"13 to be exact," Gandalf replied while nodding his head.
"Mmmmm... I can work with that. Where is the leader of this company? I need the details to make sure this will go smoothly." Haraldur nodded thinking to himself with his left arm crossed over his chest and his right hand on his chin.
"Right this way old friend!" Gandalf replied with an excited smile on his face. While his eyes glistened mischievously. With his right arm stretched out.

As the company listened to the conversation, they waited anxiously to see who will be joining them.
As Gandalf came in the heads of the dwarfs shot his way.
"Company of Thorin Oakenshield! I would like you to meet your 15th member," The wizard cheered as the he stepped aside.
A collection of gasps made their way through the company. Shocked at what they were seeing. The most shocked was the leader as he went pale as a ghost, shocked at what he was seeing. Stood their in front was a complete younger version of himself. Same eyes, same hair, same mouth, even the same facial structure.
While the members of the company stood there with their mouths hung open, not believing what they were seeing. Haraldur stood there confused and weirded out.
*cough* Haraldur cleared his throat, straightening his back catching everyone's attention.
"Nice to meet you! I am Haraldur Silver, son of Dia Silver! I am at your service!" Haraldur exclaimed in a gruff clear voice while bowing with a massive grin on his face, hoping to lighten the mood a bit.
As the son of silver stood back up nervously looking around losing his grin, he stood their awkwardly not sure what to do now. Luckily for him Gandalf decided to step in.
"Haraldur, this is Thorin Oakenshield the leader of the company," the wizard said while leading him to the king.
As they walked past the company to get to the leader, Kili lifted up his right hand pointing to the mercenary with a shocked expression, while Fili stood next to him stunned.
"Mi...ni unc...le... it's a mini uncle," Kili hushed, while following his body with Haraldur.
Fili lifted his hand pulling Kili's arm down, without taking his eyes of the dwarf.
Thorin stood there like a deer caught in headlights, not sure what to do. Dwalin elbowed him in the ribs to snap out of it.
"Nice to meet you sir," Silver said as he held out his hand to shake.
"Yes *cough* yes it's nice to meet you, Haraldur." Thorin replied while he took his hand, looking at Haraldur relieved and hoping that it was who he thinks it is.
