“Samantha. Hello, Samantha! Earth to Samantha!” Samantha woke up with a smack to the back of her head. Groaning she turned over, her coal black wavy hair a complete mess. “What?” “It’s time for class, Professor White said if you are late again, she’s going to fail you.” Samantha’s roommate Jenni said. “Yeah, yeah… Let me get up.” Samantha said as she climbed...

In his time this father claimed a measure of renown, but that was three long Ages of Middle-earth ago, and to history he has been lost...save in a name of nearly forgotten heritage, and as inscribed upon faded pages in dusty books of lore.
