bilbo wrote "the mystery" of the origin of hobbits and how he learnt the secret.
on a windy day, Bilbo baggins came out to his porch. B.B. was age 34 years old. he felt annoyed by the wind and felt troubled by the mystery how hobbits originated. he knew the order: first immortal elves awoke to their "first" dawn. later, a semigod made dwarves and after that men and hobbits started writing history but how?
he escaped the wind by walking toward his big round green door... radagast the brown appeared by magic, blocking his path. radagast said "i have an urgent mission for you". bilbo wanted his calm life in his long cave home along the side of a hill. he said "no way. i have not even reached the coming of age".
radagast said, "you think you can deceive me but you dont know i am a wizard." bilbo now understood how the guy appeared. still he argued "i dont even know your name". he replied "call me dugg, short for rad-ug-ast."
"if you are a wizard then you could prove it." dugg asked "what can i do that would convince you?" bilbo said "nothing can convince me." dugg said that he knew he was lying and was already convinced by the apparence by his door. bilbo argued that regardless he wont want any mission.
dugg claimed the mission would lead him in due haste to much delicious food and was not even dangerous. bilbo argued that he did not know his roots and ancestry. dugg understood that he referred to the origins.
dugg offerd a deal: use magic to help reveal the truth behind the mystery.... if on condition you help with the things important to me then i will help the things important to you. that sounded good so bilbo invited the wizard in for his second breakfast. dugg sat and waited as bilbo the host served fresh baked bread and cheese chunks.
they drank fruit juice. dugg explained that many animals that he loved very much, were injured. he found them moaning and dragging themselves with broken bones! he needed help caring for them and defeating whatever harmed them. bilbo argued "aha so you are NOT a wizard or else you could heal them all easily".
dugg explained that he found a few at a time but had too many and also needed time to find the cause and stop whatever injured the animals. bilbo strained brain for an excuse to stay home... and suggested "use magic to conjure all the wounded animals nearby to your hospital, that would save time insted of following the moans."
dugg agreed that was part of the plan. he would teach magic to bilbo. "can i call you bil?" bil nodded, "you will gather them and locate the broken limb. fix the injury and repeat while i find the source and the cause." bil agreed to study magic and repeated he wanted to know his "mysterious origin of hobbits".
"then i wont need this," said dugg, as he spilld a potion on the wood floor in the cave hill-hole. "the reason you prefer living in a hole in a hill is because your origin is human who dwelled in caves. uh oh!" the potion was reacting to the wood planks on the floor, over the dirt.
a loud hissing, louder than a big group of snakes, was rising from the wood with a spiraling smoke-snake until the potion ate the wood and soaked into the mud. "my floor!" shouted bil, forgetting the potion. "i will fix it." dugg waved his wand at the damaged wood. the wood began to change color and grow.
the plank was changing to a bright white like snow.it grew over the hole and attached with the plank beside it spreading even under their feet as the wood fossilized to white stone. above the new layer of stone he conjured tiles and rugs which flew in by the closed window... because it was a windy day as you remembered.
they floated through the glass like it was dry water. while the rugs floated, tile piles lined in rows on the floor, in each room, from the center, row by row until the walls. dugg widened the floor area so a full tile would fit on each of both sides n stretching the supports for the roof. this repeated in each of the three rooms with windows on the side of the hill.
also in the kitchen and dining rooom and bed room that lacked windows on the inner side of the corridor. finally rugs landed in the bedroom. dugg said if you help me i will enlarge your hole and arrange the rugs as you like but we must help the poor animals. bil was too astonished to say anything but nodded.
dugg put his wand in the narrow pocket inside his broad beryl cloth cloak. his pointy hat did not match due to its cobalt blue color. suddenly he grabbed bilbos hand said a hex and they were outside! by the round green door. bil gasped. next dugg said a different powerful charm and the windy day... intensified!
wind lifted bil and dugg a few feet up and blew them southwest between trees that gracefully swung their low branches aside for their passage. dugg commented "brooms are for broads". soon they arrived at the small simple hut that radagast had built without magic.
dugg explained that he wanted to invite bilbo as soon as he realized how vast the problems were but he needed to wait until the elves sent him a more powerful wand. (note this world does not have the same wand rules as potter world, so i wont steal her marvelously great ideas). bil asked what is a wand? dugg explained:
a part of a magical creature for example the hair of an ELF kuz they have an endless supply... is encased in a branch that was hollowed. the variety of elf descendants defined which type of tree they would use. this was from a branch from an oak that was split, hollowed and reattached around the long brown elf hair.
dugg gave bil the more powerful wand and explained that he already prepared the books with the hexes and charms. bil walked "timidly to the table" in the center of the hut under the roof window. beside it was a miniature bed- its length the size of a chair so bil sat on the bed. he lifted the hollow smooth oak branch.
he felt the energy of the magical creature, the elf, wrap his whole arm. he started to feel love toward this wand... until dugg awoke him and said, "the books are already open to the relevant pages." heavy polished rock paper weights kept the page open preventing from closing or turning. bil read the hexes and the meaning and the instructions.
he saw the summon spell. when he started to speak the spell which was a rhyme, "gusts of wind..." dugg interrupted and yelled to STOP because he was still indoors and did not learn enuf nor practice. bil memorized one spell from each book then walked outside. dugg watched from the window.
on its shelf sat his "piece of hut" that he had brought from his childhood hut-home. bil raised the elven wand and slowly and dramatically chanted, "gusts of wind, broken bones" rhyming: "bring them in, by this home." dugg moaned, "you said it wrong, you will need to practice without a wand..." but dugg got interrupted!
sounds whizzd from all sides! the powerful wand had sucked all the broken bones, with their host! many rabbits and other small animals, flew n came n landed in rows. bil knew the other rememberd rym and spoke a spell. "broken bones, straighten straight! you regrow, when i wait." dugg bit his tong not to protest, and hoped it would suffice.
the sound of crackling snapping bones that he expected never came, instead the bones GREW to the correct shape. the happy hoppers were free to roam again. they scattered between trees. dugg was satisfied and left n searchd for the orcs who were harming his beloved neighbors. bil imagind a great bat'l:
"many orcs swung dangerous weapons at the wizard" but he felt certain magic would win. bil simply repeated the spell pulling various types of creatures and growing the broken bones together until finally the largest deer came on the wings of wind. after about twenty pairs of spells, the last charm failed.
a yellow golden flash popd from the wand instead of bringing injured animals, so he knew all were healed. dugg returned and explained that a few big orcs were having a race: who could step on many creatures and who more. dugg flew around and turned each orc to a stone statue.
when dugg added "tall trolls too!" bil challenged his claim, "trolls cant be out in the sun". dugg explained: under the trees in the dense part of the forest, they are safe from the sun. all the harmful trolls and orcs were now harmless stone statues. dugg prepared him to use magic to know his past: the children from a human with a dwarf.
bilbo was satisfied with his words but dugg encouraged him to see the whole mysterious story and record it. bil studied the method bla bla... and finally held the new magic mirror to watch the story of the mysterious past. three of the valar were arguing. one wore a robe colored chestnut red. a second robe was coral red and the third crimson.
bil knew their names were bok, prok n tok respectively. bok said "i want to generate dwarves. they will be magical creatures." tok said "dont make them immortal just in case they will be greedy". bok and prok nodded. prok added we should add non magical humans too. the other 2 protested:
"humans made enough trouble on upper earth. we dont want THEM in middle earth." prok shrugged outvoted. the three assembled their powers and joined them to produce four hairy dwarves. each about one yard tall. all four had beards but two had a pair of bumps on their hairy chests for feeding infants.
the dwarf families started making weapons to sell to the elves. the weapons were so pretty that the elves bought them despite no enemy yet. +fan fiction "the dwarves also used magic to generate the first pair of humans in middle earth" because they needed more people to buy the weapons that they produced. as above the semigods decided not to make man.
[in canon men existed before dwarf]. dwarves started making toys for their own kids and sold them to the families of elf and human. eventually one of the rare humans felt attracted to one of the female dwarves or... so he said after ladies rejected him due to his 5 foot 3 shortness. they wed and their children were MIXED.
were these the first hobbits? wrong, because equally half not "nearer us than dwarves." that can be interpreted as 3/4! so "half" in halfling is only height not "mix half" because "nearer us". the kids all seemed like dwarves despite a man father. 2 mixed dautrs who seemed like a dwarf each wed a human man.
d+h=dh, dh+h dh+h
children were 1/4 dwarf and 3/4 human differd because the "human lady smooth face" went to her face so displacing the "dwarf lady beard" to her feet behind her toes. the bottom of her feet were so leathery that she did not need shoes. pa's thinner skeleton caused her to be smaller while dwarf height limited her height. the human tallness was lost.
these were the first hobbit cousins who later wed each other producing hobbit families. these cousins were born from a mix-mother, "halfling" of half mix but not yet hobbit. hobbits are "closer even than dwarves" meaning no magic in contrast to dwarf, but also 3/4 mix. still the human tallness got overruled by the dwarf nature.
the kids mockd the strange hairy feet so they left dwarf town in the lonely mountain and came to mordor. they lived there for generations until goblins spread to those mountains so they traveled west from the east passed a great forest and settled in a land they called hobbiton. bilbo saw this by magic that uncovered the mystery.
he wrote it in a letter that he sent to the librarian in hobbiton. the librarian prefferd the "mystery should remain a mystery" until i read the letter and compared the handwriting to the book named there and back again so i knew it was by bil. bil stopped smoking for around ten years until peer pressure swayed him to restart smoking a pipe.
years passed. when bil was 51 years old, a wizard invited him on an adventure. when bil refused, many dwarves came."
the story continued in the book hobbit.
