Wide and curious eyes watched you slowly, taking in the way your arms moved animatedly around as you told them tale after tale of your journeys as a fairy. What they didn’t know, or refused to believe, was that you weren’t really a fairy at all. When you had first appeared in Middle Earth, your doe-like eyes, silken hair and airy aura entranced the races of Middle Earth. Many people had thought you to be a fairy, a rare race which people had only heard stories about. You tried to explain that you were simply a human, a very short human at that. You were only a couple inches taller than the dwarves. Though you constantly insisted that you weren’t a fairy, they refused to believe you, saying that you were just saying that to mess with them, as fairies were known for being troublemakers. But still they were adamant in saying you were a fairy. Soon enough you gave up on trying to reason with the stubborn people, and it wasn’t long before you soon went along with them.
Your eyes were blown wide as you got to a particular part in your tale, and you watched as the dwarves and the few elves in your presence held their breath in anticipation. “After hanging him by his toes I went around to his garden,” You continued on with your exciting fib, your eyes locking with poor little Bilbo as he flinched. He loved his garden, almost as much as he loved Frodo. So he couldn’t imagine a fairy getting so angry that they would want to ruin someone’s precious garden. “I took my little dagger and cut through his vegetables and fruits, taking them for my own!” Bilbo gasped, his shoulder colliding with Bofur’s as he tried to scoot further away from you.
“Did you ever cut him down?” Ori voiced out his curiosity, his hands wrapped tight around his knees as he peered up to you. Murmurs sounded through the empty hall in agreement, Kili nodding his head frantically after looking around to see others doing the same. “What did you do with his food?”
“Well I ate it of course!” You bellowed with laughter, tipping your head back at your own made up story as the others ate up were words. “What I didn’t eat I took back to my little cottage.” A deep grumble sounded from beside you, your eyes locking with Thorin’s as he raised an eyebrow at your story. You could tell he didn’t believe your story, his eyes holding a look of disbelief. No way could someone as kind as you do something so mischievous and crude. “He was trespassing at first I’ll remind you. If he didn’t want me to follow him back to his garden then he shouldn’t have acted as arrogant as he did when I told him to leave.” You argued, crossing your arms over your chest as you turned away from him. “It was his fault.” A grin threatened to form on your face as you looked around at your company, watching as they looked to one another in wonder before looking back to you.
“Do all fairies react to people who act such as he did?” It was Thranduil who questioned you this time, his tongue licking away a drop of wine from his lips before he took another sip from his glass. You turned to him briefly, and you tossed him a small shrug before murmuring out a small “it depends.”. Thranduil looked away from you and to his son, the two of them locking eyes for a second before Legolas shifted his weight from one foot to another. The two royals had discussed you and your race before, but there wasn’t much to say. Fairies were a rare and old race, much older than that of the Elves. Their customs weren’t widely known amongst the elders of Middle Earth, so if anything, they had to rely on your words if they wanted to learn anything about fairies.
“I suppose it could be true,” Thranduil let out a small laugh as he pressed his shoulder against the wall, his eyes watching as you shifted under his gaze. “Seeing as we know little of fairy customs.”
THIS IS WONDERFUL! IM SO GLAD YOU USED MY PROMPT!!
