Author Notes: Ah, I have not written something in a true horror genre for a while. Hope this is as good as my previous horror stories.

For this story I played with an idea that dwarves never reveal who they are courting. It’s one of the ways in which they demonstrate their possessiveness of their partner: in fear of having another try to woo their lover, they keep the identity of their lover a secret, sometimes even to family, until on the day of the wedding.

“The giant Gundobad Orc had sworn to wipe out the line of Durin.” - a line from the first Hobbit film.
