She led me down the carven stone stairs slowly gliding towards it. For so long I had asked her to show me it but only now when something critical had happened did I see.
The stone basin was beautiful, she got water as I studied the carvings around it. I was amazed at how beautiful something could be. When she poured the water in, I backed away realizing I might see Legolas happy without me.
"Come," she beckoned nodding that it would be alright. I took a deep breath and gazed into the mirror. For moments I thought that the mirror had nothing to show me and I was relieved, but slowly it swirled into a picture. What I saw came as quite a shock.
Legolas sat in my old room crying with his head against my pillow.
"Past" i thought to myself knowing the mirror showed many things. I focused back onto the mirror as the picture changed.
I saw Legolas standing beside a beautiful elven woman, watching a boy and girl mount horses and wave goodbye. I realized I was watching young Kendre and Kaede depart for the Golden Wood. "Present".
I thought to myself prepared for the picture to change. And it did. I saw myself standing on a cliff with the same woman from the other picture. And she looked at me with hatred as she........
"AHHHHH!!!!!!!" I screamed falling away from the mirror and hitting my head on the ground. After I blacked out for a moment and was brought around again, with a throbbing headache I might add, Galadriel looked at me with concern.
"You must remember that the mirror shows many things, and those that have not occured can be changed. All you have to do is change what you saw by avoiding it. Or seeing it happen in the present and forcing yourself to do what is right. Do you know what is right?" She looked at me knowingly, waiting for my answer.
"I must go," I said, standing up determined. "I will need a horse, and some food. I will go to say goodbye, nothing more."
"Be sure you do not intend to do something which is not within your grasp, Aliya." She said sternly.
"If it is not within my grasp, I would only have to reach higher than before." I said turning and walking away. I didn't say goodbye to anyone, I prepared and left that night, alone, as I always felt, and headed home.
