Across endless cycles of death and rebirth, the stories of brave heroes and undaunted maidens have thus been repeated unceasingly, so that they might eventually find the fortunate ending they deserve.
To counteract the curses and adamant adversaries my own beloved children would invariably have to face, my brethren and I have endeavoured to supply them with hardy friends, intrepid protectors, and the occasional magical artefact to fortify them in their brave struggle.
This is the story of Thorin, a dutiful prince, and Ori, the wielder of enchanted scissors; it’s a tale that shall be ineludibly changed during and through its very telling by the power of true courage and steadfast love.
Hearken, dear reader, and—with the precious support of your goodwill—we might well achieve a satisfying end to this tale of woe.
