"Oi, old man!" Eric sheathed his sword with an exasperated sigh. "You really had to steal the kill when the troll was one hit from death?"
Gandalf, as unapologetic as ever, leaned on his sta...

The two had walked for quite a distance when Gandalf finally cooled off enough to speak.

For the first time in his life, young Bilbo Baggins had stepped beyond the borders of the Shire.
That night, sleep did not find him. He lay ...

It was him.
It had to be him.
That human!
"Damn it! Fooled again!"
The orcish captain roared in fury, brandishing his chipped cleaver as he bellowed in Eric's direction....
"Eric! Hold up!"
On the eastern edge of the Misty Mountains, near the broad valleys of the River Anduin, Eric had just finished carving his way through a battalion of orcs and a pack of snar...
