Lucio Anefesto

**'The Beginning'**

Lucio (the last of the known Hobbits) was born in an unknown land (some call it a land of 'Eldham', some call it the 'New World', and some simply call it the 'In between lands'), and would never know where he was actually born. When Lucio was at the age of 3, as the story is told, his village was attacked by Orks (man-eating ones, and man-alike eaters) and left none alive accept him, and an old widow. He and the widow lived together for many of years until he turned 9, and she herself was approaching the age of 100. (This will be a bit of information to explain to those who do not know) For a normal human to look at that, they would think that almost be absurd 'A living thing making it to the age 100'! But for a Hobbit, that is simply a good life. In the *History of Hobbits* the oldest Hobbit to ever live was 139 (standard years) and had 12 children (end of information). One day, Lucio and the Widow went out like usual to find food and such, and the widow took a wrong step, and broke her leg. She did not make it a week after catching an infection. Now Lucio realized he would need to take care of himself from now on.

**'Growing up'**

By the time he could remember where he was, he found out he was 12 years old, living in a larger town on the coast. While one might think living by the coast was good... it would not be good if sea pirates existed. When Lucio was living in this small town, things were not good for him. He was always in fights, being called "Short" and "Alien" and at the time, he did not realize that they were not the same as him (for at 12 he was about 3 foot). Lucio never got a job whilst he lived here (probably because they did not want a 3 foot person working for them), he only took food to eat, and to survive. Lucio lived in that special part of town that only few knew that it existed, and the police could never find you, the ruins of the old city. While he lived there, he met a few other "Aliens" as the humans called them, and one was kind enough to give him his family name on his 13th birthday. Lucio Anefesto he was called from now on, not the Lucio in town that was a nobody, but an Anefesto, an old family (some might say as old as time) before humans came into this world. A family of Hobbits. At the summer solstice (a farming thing) when everyone in town, friend, foe, enemy, alien, came together to celebrate a new year of great harvests, and to celebrate the Gods who game them these gifts. The Pirates attacked at dawn. It was a common practice for everyone to pitch camp at the town square (or the center-cobble if you would) and sleep as 1 group of people. Lucio, being a light sleeper, heard the attack, and managed to get away. No one else did. Lucio had just lost his second people, the people he knew, and the people he came to respect. Once he came to his senses, he took one of the ships of the pirates, a *Unireme* and left the town, never to come back again.

**'Coming to Fiore'**

What seemed like weeks on the boat that did not even have a name, just a class, Lucio reached a different land. For his older lands were ones of old, ancient cities, and wars. But this land he found, he could not even understand. It is new, it WAS new. He would later come to find he traveled from a different world into the world he lives now, which is called 'Ilithirus' (his old world was about 35,000 Standard-Years old, whilst this world was less than 5,000). When he was on the ship (for he could not steer it, it went where ever it wanted to go) he passed by a small town, an Tuscany style one, and yelled out for help. 2 people, both a lot taller than him, and older helped him onto the docks, and allowed him to join the nation. He soon met the leader of this fine nation that was called 'Fiore' or its full name 'Impero De Fiore'. The leader at this time was a man named Verratti, he was just a new leader, in a different time than his fathers. At this time rebels were springing out of holes in the ground, trying to stop the king from leading, or even to kill him. So far, nothing had worked, and Lucio became good friends with most of the people living in Fiore.

**'The age of ancient Hobbit'**

It was one summers day, a day that was of a normal day in Fiore. People grinding wheat into flour, people making tools and armor, people even cleaning and sweeping the roads. This is what any normal day would see. A day when a king, a great leader would die. On the very same day, the only heir to the throne, (insert name) was coronated. Now, the king had great ideas for world conquest, and was one good with combat as well. At the age of 6, he could draw and shoot a bow, and at the age of 7, he learned how to hold and hit with a sword. Now, in this kings plans for conquest, there was one smaller problem... one small detail he forgot. He did not have a way to transport people back and forth from one lands to another. Now, Lucio found out about the problem when he was told, and he took the opportunity as soon as he could. Once called upon him, he was asked to build a small fort and port next to a river in the new land. Once he got to the lands, what he saw shook him, and no one but him in this living world could know why. When he first looked around, he found something.... something in ancient Hobbit. While he could not read it, he knew for a fact that this was something of his world. When he finished building the first part of the port, and cleared land for a group of houses, and a defended wall, he went off and explored. On the other side of the river, he saw ruins, but he did not see of what they were, and how old they were (something to also take into account, is that there were 2 towers here, 1 on each side of the river, both in decent condition). When he got to the other side of the river, he was confused at what he saw. He saw... a town... like his home town... in ruins. He looked, and looked, and looked through the town, and he did find quite a few things. Firstly, he found proof of what he was trying to figure out, yes, this was a town of hobbits. Secondly, he found that this was a city old enough to be ancient, but what would be a new city for his old world. And lastly of what he found in the town, was some ancient papers that were titled the *Hobbit Confederation Papers.* Now, to him that was a new thing for him, so he sat there, all day, reading those papers. He learned off all what had happened in recorded history in this place, and would later decide to start writing a book in dedication to his race, knowing he was the last of his kind.
