1 epilogue

"The world has changed, I can feel it in the water, I can feel it in the air, those who have noticed and prepare, and the many who haven't noticed will soon notice. The world we know is about to enter a new era.

Twenty rings were forged. Three rings were given to the elven kings, seven to the lords of the dwarf houses, and nine were given to the race of men. Sauron, the Dark Lord, secretly created another ring, the One Ring, on Mount Doom in Mordor, to control the power of the other rings forged by the elves.

And then deceived by the dark lord Sauron the world entered the dark age.

But after a lot of fighting he ended up being defeated, but the One Ring was lost in time. Until then, several years passed and everything was forgotten and turned into legend and an ancient era where evil had the supremacy over the world where it had been defeated by a hero. Little of that time is remembered, so little talked about.

And then we come to the present day where a flame in the east was lit. Few have noticed, but it is there, feeding on the discord of men waiting for a moment to return and take over the world and throw it into the dark ages just as it once tried."

And so here we started our story, not in a world called Middle Earth, but a beautiful house in the city of São Paulo, it wasn't the best house in the world and of course, but it was possible to live peacefully. And here we find the protagonist of this story, lying in his bed, sleeping and of course, he was never one to get up early, nor even on a weekend.

Little did he know that in moments the most important thing in his life would happen, that it might or might not change the course of all Middle Earth.

And our dear protagonist would not even notice that at that very moment a completely black being was standing motionless in front of his bed watching the boy while he slept peacefully, oblivious to the danger that surrounds him.

- I didn't want to do that - said the being in a voice so hoarse that it caused shivers in anyone - they force me, and so here I am, about to send an innocent boy, perhaps to his sad end. I know you will hate me for this, but know that I did it for your own good.

The being then moved closer to the boy, reached out his wrinkled hand and stroked the boy's hair.

- I know you will face many dangers, but I can help you at least with some things, I'll give you something that will make you stronger, as well as maybe make you mad, but that will only depend on you my little one.

When he finished speaking, the being then walked away from the boy, taking care not to wake him up, and then disappeared into the air, leaving more questions than answers. Because we don't know who he would be or what he wanted and why he should do what he is about to do. This, my dear, we will discover far ahead of our history
