Elrond raised a brow. "Such language."
Lily wasn't listening she got up and stumbled to the window Glorfindel catching her as she almsot fell. She gasped an looked over the beautiful scene around her.
"This can't be real."
Elrond walked up. "I promise it is real."
"No... I'm dead. Thats is the only explanation. Rivendell doesn't exsist at least not this one. Rivendell is the lake we lived on."
"Lake?"
"Mom's home was on a lake with a mountain and waterfall beside it. I never tried to learn the name we called it Lake Rivendell, Mount Erebor and Shire falls"
Elrond sat down as Glorfindel helped Lily sit down. "How do you know these names if you said this is not real?"
"They are from my favorite books."
"Books?"
"Yes the Hobbit. The adventure Bilbo Baggins as he accompanied Thorin Oakenshield an the Dwarves to reclaim Erebor from the dragon Smaug. Ultimatly leading to the deaths of Fili Kili as well as Thorin. Three of my favorite characters by the way."
Elrond looked stunned. "How do you know this?"
"My books?"
"An do you have thes books?"
"Yes in my bag." SHe looked around. "Where is my bag?"
Elrohir grabbed it. "Here." He brought it to her, "How do you open the thing."
Lily smirked as she unzipped the bag, laughing as the other look on in facination. She rooted around in her bag pulling out the seal bag containing the books. Opening it she pulled out the Hobbit an handing it to Elrond. He looked through it his eyes wideneing.
"This is interesting." He looked at the other books in the bad."What are those?"
Lily smiled. "An adventure telling of the fellowship an thier quest to distroy the one ring."
With a blink of an eye Glorfindel had his sword out an pressed to Lily's throat."How do you know that?"
Lily glared a slowly reached her hand into her bag. Glorfindel didn't budge when Lily pulled out her gun."You have two seconds to back off. "He didn't so Lily pointed the gun at his head. Glorfindel looked on in confusion. "Step back or get a hole in your head." When he didn't move she realized he wouldn't know the danger so she pointed the gun to the wall behind his head. Her eyes an him she fired. The boom echoed a moment. Glorfindel had backed up.
"What witchcraft?"
"Not witchcraft. Were I am from this is a deadly weapon."
Elrond leaned forward. "Is it what caused your injuries?"
"Yes." She put the gun away. "As I was saying these three books tell the tale of the ring."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Here's the end." She grabbed Return of the King an opened it to the back. "Here I'll show..." She staired at the book. "What the hell?"
Elrond tilted his head. "What's Wrong?"
"Its blank... How could it be blank I just read it last night."
Elrond came over an sat beside her taking the leather book. "You said this is the end?" He felt a strange energy in the book. "Check the others."
Lily grabbed the Two Towers. "Nothing." She started to panic. What was going on? She gave the book to Elrond an pulled out fellowship. She flipped to the end. "What the..." She went to the begining an froze. "What's going on?"
Elrond looked over. "There is writing. Turn to the last page with writing."
Lily flipped through the book till she came to the last page with writing. "Here it is. "She looked over it. "Aragon had just met the Hobbits in Bree."
"Really?"
"Yeah and..." She stopped and looked at the page the elves looking over her shoudler. There before her eyes they saw gold writing appear on the page before darkening to black. Lily looked to Elrond. "What's going on?"
Elrond took the book an watched the writing. "It appears to be writing events as they happen. "He looked at Lily. "Gandalf will be here soon allow me to keep these an we shall figure it out."
"Alright." She looked at her bag an noticed the strong box. "Oh. I almost forgot." SHe pulled the box from her bag an taking the key that was still around her neck opened the box. "Since you are Min Ada I think these are for you." She pulled out the wooden boxes."Ada." SHe handed the one labled Ada to Elrond. SHe looked at the other two. "I'm guessing thse are yours." SHe looked at the last. "An one for Arwen. "She looked at Elrond. "Why is my mother sending you items?"
"Because we are family."
"Really?"
Elrond pulled out the paper an read. "Lily I believe you need to hear this."
Lily looked up. "I didn't tell you my name."
Elrong looked at the paper. "She has told me to give you a message.
'My dearest Lily,
I know you are confused an know by now you have noticed the misisng writing from your books
These books were given to me by the Valar themselves, instructing that the story you read would
be normal as so you may know the sequence of events. Now you are in my home it is time to write
your own story. Remember what I taught you becausee you will need it. I am sorry you had to learn the darkness of your brother Samandrial. Min Ada can explain everything.
Gi Melin
My beautiful daughter.'
Elrond looked up to Lily who was fighting tears. "What darkness does she speak of?"
Lily fought a sob. "My brother Samandrial he killed our mother an another man. He is the one who injured me. He said it was time I met our father. He spoke in a wierd language an the lake turned into a whirlpool. I fought him off an he fell in. When it was over I spoke the phrase mother taught me before I fell." SHe looked up. "An what did she mean you'd explain everything."
Elrond sighed seeing the young woman was upset. "I'll tell you another time but right now you need rest."
Elladan helped Lily back to the bed and Elrond covered her up and placed a hand on her forehead."Rest now little one an heal."
Lily felt compelled to sleep. Closing her eyes she drifted her mind going into a dreamless peaceful sleep.
