SUMMARY: Set after series 7 Buffy, during Fellowship- Buffy and Giles are sent to Middle Earth when the vampires and demons find a portal from Sunnydale. Buffy offers her services to Lady Galadriel, and soon starts to feel something for Haldir, but when the Fellowship arrive in Lothlórien, Boromir finds something he wants as much as the Ring.
CHAPTER FOUR: Looking into the mirror
Buffy was lonely; she had been here a week. Giles was meeting the Lady and Lord everyday and Haldir had gone with his two brothers to collect "the Fellowship", which made no sense to her, and wouldn't because no one was telling her anything. The other elves ignored her.
"Bored," she said aloud, walking through the chilly evening, pulling her jumper on. She sat herself on a rock, in a small area with a bowl on a table, and a miniature waterfall.
"I see you have discovered my mirror," she heard Lady Galadriel say from behind her.
"I have found a bowl on a table, near a miniature waterfall; I'd hardly call it a mirror," Buffy said facing her.
Galadriel took a jug, dipped it into the water, and poured the water into the bowl.
"Look into it," she commanded.
"What will I see?"
"Not even the wisest can tell. For it shows."
"Hang on, you're stealing that line from a movie, which had elves, and hobbits, and wizards, and evil yucky looking things."
"Movie?"
"A movie about the Fellowship of the Ring."
"Look into the mirror."
Buffy approached and looked into the water. For a moment she saw nothing, but then she saw her first day in Sunnydale, and Angel, Riley.
"Buffy? No." Dawn said as Buffy turned her head from the portal to look at Dawn.
"Dawnie I have to."
"No!"
"Listen to me, please there's not a lot of time, listen.
She paused for a moment.
"Dawn listen to me, listen. I love you, I will always love you, but this is the work that I have to do.
"Tell Giles I. tell Giles I figured it out and, and that I'm okay.
"And give my love to my friends, you have to take care of them now. you have to take care of each other.
"You have to be strong. Dawn, the hardest thing in this world is to live in it. Be brave, live. for me."
"What did I just see?"
"Your past."
Buffy looked deeper into the mirror; before her she saw a group of eight talking with Haldir and his fellow archers. She saw the Fellowship of the Ring. And Haldir looking deep into her eyes, smiling.
"That is your present."
And next what she saw was absolutely terrifying.
"The Master?" she asked, but Galadriel did not reply.
She saw the Master standing next to a tall wizard in white, with the Fellowship at their feet, bleeding. The world was in smoke. Buffy lay dead beside a wounded Giles.
"That is the future?" Buffy asked.
"No, it is what will come to pass if you do not succeed in your duty."
Buffy stood away from the mirror, "Comforting," she said sarcastically.
"The Fellowship has arrived; I must take my leave now."
"Will I learn why I am here?"
"I believe your watcher is the one to tell you," she said and walked away.
"Like he's going to tell me."
