Author's Notes: Thank you all for comeing to see what this story is about. This is my first Lord of the Rings fan fic so I
hope you like it. So please if you like leave a comment ask questions if you like I will post the next chapter as soon as I can.

Disclaimer: I do not worn Lord of the Rings only Lily and Samanadrial and thier story. Some plot section were my idea but the general
direction of the story will be as if it was in the movie.

It was raining, how typical, it matched Lily Dragonbane's feelings. The rain washed away her tears as she watched her boys lower her mother into the ground. Her boss, Captain Jack, stood with his arm around her shoulder and his daughter, Dixie, held her arms. Her friends, Kera and Hunter, walked up and hugged her.

"Lily, I'm sorry."

Lily whipped at her eyes. "I swear by all, I will find the son of a bitch who did this, and they will taste my steel."

Hunter sighed. "Lily that won't..."

"Chief Queen?"

Her chief walked up. "Yes, Lily?"

"As of today, I hand in my resignation. Just send me my photos, anything else donate it, or sell it, I don't care."

Evan walked up. "Lily?"

"Captain Jack, I also hand in my resignation to the police force."

Jack scowled. "Lily, think straight."

"I am. I need time, Uncle Jack. I'm packing up an going to go stay at the family retreat in Canada. I think the fresh air, lake, and mountains may help."

"Well, it seems we both have the same idea." Everyone turned to see a tall man standing to the side.

"Samandrial?"

"Lily?" Sam took a step forward, stopping when two of her work brothers blocked his path."I wish only to speak with my sister."

"It's alright boys." They moved and Lily stepped out.

"I didn't think you'd come."

Samandrial lowered his head forcing a single tear to escape the corner of his eyes. "She was still my mother too." He made his voice crack a little. Lily's heart broke as she embraced her brother.

"Oh, Samandrial." Lily hugged him tight. "I'm sorry, brother."

Samandrial gave a fake smile. "I tell you what, you take Rivendell, I'll go stay with my father in Novia Scotia."

"You found our father?"

"Yep. Well, little sister, take your time an enjoy it." Samandrial turned and left.

Kai walked up. "There is something off about him."

Lily sighed. "Leave him be."

"Miss Dragonbane?" Everyone turned.

" Mr. Merlyn, what can I do for you?"

The older gentleman walked forward. "As your mother's attorney I was informed to give you something."

"But the will reading isn't till tomorrow."

Merlyn looked around him. "I know, but I won't make it till tomorrow."

"What?"

"I'll be dead by morning. I've long known once your mother died I will be killed, so you could not receive your inheritance."

"But..."

"No my dear. No time. Here take this." He handed her a medium size ornate box.

Lily recognized the box immediately. "Mom's old trinket box. But she said she lost it a year ago."

Merlyn nodded. "Your mother knew she'd be dead within a year. She came to me with instructions and told me the consequences. She told me in helping her, I'd die."

"Then why?"

Merlyn gave her a defeated look. "Because, in three months I'll already be! I won't survive another 6 months."

"Why didn't mom tell me she'd die?"

"Because, dear, she didn't want you to worry about anything, and worrying about her dying, you would have done everything to try to stop she said it had to happen."

"Why?"

Merlyn sighed. "No time, dear, I have one last thing to do and then I must go. Your mother sent over instructions with the box." He pulled out a folded paper an opened it.

'My dearest Lily,

I am sorry you have to be hurt so badly, as to loss me, but it had to happen. It was always meant to happen. That is why, in the last year, I spent as much time with you as possible. I am so proud of you, my little Dragonbane. I want to apologize for the trial you are about to be put trough. Just trust your heart, and remember, I'll always be there reading, the Lord of the Rings to you. Always keep those books on my daughter.

Now I need you to follow my instructions. I know you'd probably have planned to go to our retreat in Canada. That is where you need to be withing the next 72 hours. Once there at the cabin, only then open the box Mr Merlyn has given you. Again I am sorry for the pressure which is about to besige you. But you have trained all your life for this adventure ,my darling daughter, and I know with out a dought you will come out alive, wel,l and victorius. Remember I will always be with you, my wonder daughter.

Love

mom

Marielle Dragonbane

Lily looked up at, Merlyn, as he finished reading. "What?"

"Nothing you need to worry about yet. Just do as your mother had asked."

Riley, walked up. "I'll ask ,Dustin, if he can take his plane and get you there."

Lily nodded."Thanks, Riley. I need to get home, and pack quickly," turning she ran to the vehicles and jumped onto her motorcycle. Placing the box in the saddle bag she headed for home.

Once there she ran inside ,and knowing her mother never played game she began to get ready. Grabbing her duffle she loaded up three changes of clothing her knife as well as 10 bottles of water. Why 10? She didn't know and it followed by 10 bags of beef jerky. Again why was 10 branded into her mind? In more followed three bags of different trail mixes.

"Okay enough food, Lily." She went to the side, and changed clothes. Removing the black dress she replaced it, with blue jears and her black elven shirt, as she called it. The sleeve were longer on one side. Pulling on her hiking boots she grabbed her gun holser ,and put it around her shoulders loading her gun and two clips. Remembering what she mother had said, she grabbed the books laying on her table, looking at the leather bound tales. Her mother had given her the Hobbit first then came Fellowship of the Ring, then the Two Towers, and then the Return of the King. She loved reading the books growing up, and remember how excited she was when they movies came out.

Now that she thought about it it was strange. When she had went to see the movies with her mother she remember her mother stairing at the screan with a strange emotion on her face. She seemed sad whenever it showed ,Lord Elrond. "Mom, I miss you." Putting the books in her bag she pulled out her phone an called Riley.

"Riley, can Dustin, give me a lift."

"He is waiting at the airfield for you."

"Be there in ten." She hung up, and pocketed the phone pulling on her jacket, as she tied her bag to the back of the bike, and remembering her mothers box, she pulled it out of the saddlebag, and put in her duffle. Swinging her leg over the bike, she sped off. Knowing she was breaking the law, she kept her eyes opened. Her coworkers wouldn't like it with her breaking the law.

Not 2 minutes into her racing off she heard sirens. Great her co workers. The cop car sped up and Lily contimplated racing off but she stopped when the car pull up along side her. She saw James, from the precinct driving an Charlie , Dixie, and Evan riding along. The window lowered an Evan, stuck his head out.

"How about an escort."

Lily, gave then a thumbs up an they pull out infront of her speeding off allowing Lily, to go faster. She heard a second siren ,and glancing back, she saw another car holding more of her friends ,as they back up the rear. In about 8 minutes she was at the air field.

Stopping her bike she pulled off her helmet, and untied her bag. Slinging over her shoudlers, she walked up to the line of people waiting to show her off. She walked first to, Dixie and her Husband ,Troy.

"Dixie, I want you to do something for me."

"Anything."

Lily reached into her pocket ,and pulled out her keys. "I want you an Troy, to have the house and my bike. I had already began moving out. So just get rib of my stuff, anything I wanted it's already being shipped to the old homestead." She was lieing ,but they didn't need to know that.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." They hugged her ,and she moved down hugging each friend ,and each coworker. Jack, and Matthew, stopped her each handing her a leather wrapped folder.

"Just some pictures that were thrown together for you."

"Thank you."

Dustin, stepped out, "come on Lily ,there is a storm moving in."

"Alright." With one final good bye to everyone, she ran an boarded the plan straping herself into the copilot sit. "Come on ,Dustin, I don't have much time."

"Geronimo!" With that they took off down the runway, and lifted into the sky. Lily settled back, and closed her eyes hoping to get a moments rest, because she knew it will be a couple of house before they would get to Lake Rivendell.
