Bloganuary – Day 23

Interview a fictional character.

–⋅ o ♥ o ⋅–

Would you please tell our audience a little about yourself?

I came from the end of a bag, but no bag went over me.

That’s interesting. Can you tell us more?

I am the clue-finder, the web-cutter, the stinging fly.

Fascinating.

I was chosen for the lucky number.

And?

I am he that buries his friends alive and drowns them and draws them alive again from the water.

I think you are much more than that.

I am the friend of bears and the guest of eagles.

Go on . . .

I am Ringwinner and Luckwearer; and I am Barrel-rider.

I hear you are also a burglar?

Bother burgling and everything to do with it!

I must say, you are looking well for your age.

I don’t look old, but I am beginning to feel it in my heart of hearts.

I know you’ve travelled a long way to be with us today.

I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led. And through the air, I am he that walks unseen.

Your journey must have been exhausting.

Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean: like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.

That’s unfortunate, but we’re so glad you could join us.

Otherwise I suppose I might have spent a warm and comfortable night in bed!

We won’t keep you too long.

I wish I was at home in my nice hole by the fire, with the kettle just beginning to sing!

We believe your journey to get here was quite an adventure.

You are an interfering old busybody.

And your journey took you far and wide.

Far over the misty mountains cold. To dungeons deep, and caverns old.

What did you learn from your adventure.

Never laugh at live dragons.

That sounds scary.

Even dragons have their ending.

Did you learn any other lessons?

Not all those who wander are lost.

Wise words indeed. Do you have any questions you’d like to ask me?

What have I got in my pocket?

Oh, you are a funny fellow.

Well I’m blessed.

Any final thoughts?

The Eagles are coming!

Thank you for your time today, Mr Baggins.

I am leaving NOW. GOOD-BYE. I don’t expect I shall return.

Sadly, Smaug was not the only dragon to meets its end.

My Garden Dragon is no more either.
