Lily willed the vines to take her up into the canopy. Settling herself into the twined branches she willed the branches to move covering her in a type of cocoon. As she settled back she finally noticed the soft moss that grew under her. It is so strange, she always knew she was different but never quite understood why.

As the branches curled around her making a cocoon of green, Lily let herself relax. She needed answers an hopefully her Durin guardians could help her. Closing her eyes she let her mind drift allowing sleep to finally take her.

Next thing she knew she felt the warmth of the sun on her her eyes she saw she was among flowers. Grinning she sat up an looked around suddenly becoming confused. Usually when she was here the Durin Guardians would meet her, but they were nowhere to be she heard it. The male laughter followed by splashes. Getting up she followed the noise till she came to a lake. There she saw the two younger Durin's wrestling in the water wearing nothing but trousers. She saw Thorin sitting at the bank dressed in wet trousers an a dry loss tunic opened at the throat. With a miscivious idea she snuck around to the side seeing a boulder half in the water. Going under she sawn toward the wrestling dwarves. Hiding behind a rack she surfaced to see them. How strange she wasn't out of breath it almost like she didn't need to hold her breath. She noticed Thorin saw her. She put her finger to her lips asking him to keep quite. He smiled an nodded. Lily dove back under thankfully the water wasn't fully see through. Swimming up she pinched the back of Fili's knees causing him to jump with a shout.

"What's wrong brother?"

"Something bit me!"

"Nonsense there's nothing he..." He jumped an yelled as Lily pinched him."Something is here."

Thorin wouldn't hold in his laugh. "Uncle?"

"Do not worry it was just a little Dragonfly." Before they c ould say anything Lily grabbed their ankles flipping them.

They surfaced an looked around. "What?" As Throin laughed Lily surged out of the water tackling the boys who started laughing when they saw who was there.

"Lily!" They hugged her before everyone swam for the shore.

Thorin gre serious. "What is it you wish to speak about?"

"Me! What being a Dragonbane means because I don't fully understand. In Moria I finally excepted who I am, what I can do. But it felt almost like I'm half of who I should be."

Throin sighed . "That is something I cannot say."

"But who can?"

"Come." He stood an took her hand Fili and Kili followed pulling on tunics. As they left the lake Lily noticed their clothes drying quickly. They neared a house, one similar to her mothers cabin. They walked around to a large garden.

Lily froze when she heard a familiar giggle.

"What?"

"They'll be able to explain."

They entered the garden an stopped. Lily gasped seeing a dwarf that resembled Thorin only a little taller, without a shirt leaning over a woman who Lily couldn't see, kissing her making her giggle.

Thorin placed a hand over Lily's eyes. "Mahal's balls Durin cloth yourself, there is company."

Lily peeked around Thorin's hand to see the one called Durin an gasped. "Durin the Deathless?"

He smiled. "Aye lass." He stepped closer pulling his tunic on. "An look at you my beautiful Dragonbane princess."

"She's not just yours, remember." Lily gasped as Durin moved reveling the woman behind him.

"M...Mom?

Marielle smiled. "Oh my beautiful girl."

"Mom!" Lily forgot all the anger toward her mother, an in a blink of an eye ran forward hugging her. "Oh Mom!"

Marielle laughed. "My baby!" Both Lily an Marielle Began crying.

Durin walked over to Thorin. "Come my Durin sons let get some food and drink."

"Aye!" As the men took off Marielle sat with Lily their arms still around each other.

"Oh mom I've missing you."

"I know an I'm sorry."

Lily leaned back an looked at her mtoher."Mom you look younger."

"I am when I dried on Earth I choose to come to the Valar so in doing so I became the age I was when I left middle-earth."

"Oh!"

Mariell took her daughter's face in her hands. "An looked at you it's only been a few months but you are beautiful. An I see Thorin presented you with a Durin bead."

"Aye we did." Lily looked up as the men came back carrying food and drink."Thought you ladies could use food and drink."

As Durin sat beside Marielle she smiled. "Of course my love," she kissed his cheek."

"Wait... Mom what about dad?"

"Well Lily you see... Durin... Durin is your father?"

"What?" Lily looked at Durin. "How I am not half dwarf."

Durin smiled. "Your not because at the time I wasn't."

"What?"

Durin sighed. "You see Lily, when I fist met your mother she was beginning to communicate in the halls of the Valar an I swore I saw no one lovelier. So I went to her."

Marielle smiled. " Everytime I projected Durin would meet me an I fell in love with him."

"An I her. But I was long since dead so I couldn't be with her. But one day Aule came an offered me a chance. He said I would be born not of middle-eath but I will one day find myself back with Marielle so I agreed. I was born Luke on Earth. When I turned 28 I was brought to middle-earth were I was reunited with your mother." He frowned on Marielle continued.

"But things were bad. I was in Rivendell as Min Ada was trying to pulled me from my depression. Durin had a surprise when he saw 1-year-old Samandrial."

Lily gasped. "Sam wasn't his?"

Marielle frowned. "No... Lily Samandrial is your half brother."

"How?"

Marielle took Lily's hand. "Before Durin arrived I was captured by Saruman warrior's. There I was tortured by his captain Grigon. Till finally a group of Min Ada's warriors an Marchwarden's from Lotholorien rescued me. I thought everything was fine but then I found out I carried Grigon's child."

Lily gasped" Mom did he?"

"Yes. An Samandrial was the result. But when Durin arrived it didn't matter. We still loved each other, an out of that love had you."

"But how and why did we go to earth?"

"While I was pregnant with you Grigon found out an he was mad. Especially when Durin and I married."

Lily grabbed her mother's hand. "What happened?"

"He killed Durin, an being from here the Valar allowed him into the halls of Valmor."

"But how did we get to earth."

Durin placed his hand on Lily's " I knew you were not safe so I had the Valar send you away. Until the Dragonbane was needed."

"That's another thing I am begining to understand what being a Dragonbane means but why do I feel like half myself."

Marielle sighed. "Lily a Dragonbane is the first born an when Samandrial was born of force the right of Dragonbane was to skip him till I had a child out of love. But something happened an both you and Samandrial received the powers. But while you both have it you'll never be at full strength."

Lily sighed. "Then how?" She stopped as her mother started crying. "Mom? What is it?"

Marielled whipped her tears. "The Valar had told me the only way for wither of you to receive your full powers is to remove the others powers."

"How do I do that?"

"Lily... To get your powers you have to kill Samandrial."

"What?" Lily almost fell from the chair but Durin caught her.

"Lily the Valar had said that there can not be two Dragonbane's. That is why Sam always tried to hurt you."

"But he is my brother I can't kill him."

" If your brother receives all the powers then the story that you know will change. Sauron will win with your brother by his side. But if you win you guarantee good to win."

Lily sniffed an looked at her mother."Ok Somehow I knew something had to happen."

Durin smiled. "Good girl... Now about this elf prince."

Lily blushed. " Don't worry about it... dad."

Marielle laughed. "She's right my love," she turned to Lily,' now my dear I would love nothing better then for you to stay but the others will be meeting Galadriel soon an you should return."

Lily sighed. "I wish I could stay longer."

Mariell smiled. "I know but remember I am always here."

"Ok." ;Lily shifted so her head was on her father's shoulder as her mother ran her fingers through her hair. With a sigh she let her mind relaxed till she felt the pull back to her body.

With a deep breath her eyes opened an she smiled. She saw her mother, father an her question had finally been answered. Getting up her wooden cocoon open letting her look over Lothlorien. Now to make her way to the others. An with a almost free feeling Lily jumped from the trees allowing the vines to swing her through the woods.
