The next few months had passed like that. Lily and Aragorn had stayed in Mirkwood talking with King Thranduil and Legolas about all that was coming to pass. Gandalf had long since left to go to the Shire and inform Frodo of the dangers that would come to him. Lily and Legolas had also grown very close to one another. Frequently Aragorn would find Legolas with Lily and the two seemed to prefer one another's company to anyone else. The four were in the main palace room and it was decided that Aragorn and Lily were to leave. Sadly to Lily she had not wanted to leave. She had become accustomed to the palace and Legolas' presence. With one final long glance at Legolas she turned and mounted the horse they had given her and galloped off with Aragorn.
They had been riding for three days when Aragorn stopped them at a fork in the path. Aragorn turned to Lily and looked at her sadly.
"Here is where our paths part. I must go to Bree and await the arrival of the hobbit that carries the one ring; in case something has happened to Gandalf I must lead them to Rivendell. Your path is to Lothlorien where you will be safe. There you will meet Galadriel and she will help you on your path, one that I do not even know."
"How will I know the way?" Lily asked.
"You know in your heart. Follow the road into the woods the elves that dwell there will find you." Aragorn said.
"How will I know that you are alright?" Lily asked next concern for the brother she had finally found.
"I will pass through Lothlorien and that shall be your comfort." Aragorn said. Lily nodded and looked to him.
"Be careful." She said and then surprised him by hugging him quickly and galloping off towards Lothlorien.
Lily couldn't believe her eyes once again. She had ridden for two days and then the guards of the Golden Wood had found her and at her sight they led her to the Lady of the Wood. Lily had dismounted her horse and her horse had been led away and Lily was left in the company of Galadriel who turned and bid her follow her. Galadriel led her down some stairs and stood beside Lily in front of a large basin, in her hands she held a pitcher filled with water.
"Will you look into my mirror?" Galadriel asked.
"Will I see something good or bad?" Lily asked curiously drawn to the mirrors power. Galadriel began pouring water into the mirror.
"I cannot command it to show what you want. The mirror may show things that were, things that are, and things that are yet to happen. Will you look?" Galadriel asked again. Lily took a deep breath, and nodded. She then stepped up to the mirror and looked in. The first site she saw was Buffy, Dawn, and the whole gang looking through book after book; Dawn still had tears in her eyes. Lily knew that must have been a day or two after she had left and been transported to Middle Earth. The mirror shifted to when she first met Aragorn and then it shifted again to him getting crowned King of Gondor, of men. A smiled graced Lily's face. The water rippled again and Lily saw Legolas' familiar image in the water. She smiled when she saw him, her heart did hurt a bit though, and she had missed his company and the comfort she felt when he was near. The next thing she saw shocked her, she had a crown placed upon her head and was at Legolas' side. She smiled but was thoroughly confused. The next images went past so quickly battles at different places and she was there fighting side by side with Legolas and Aragorn and a dwarf. When the images stopped she looked up to Galadriel.
"I know what it is you saw." Galadriel said. "You have much power my niece. Your mother has long since left these shores and you have all power that was hers."
"What power? I have been told about how important and powerful I am yet I feel no different. How can I be of help if I know not what I can do?" Lily asked. Galadriel smiled.
"You have the foresight now. If you concentrate hard enough you can see a brief bit into the future." Lily looked curiously and Galadriel continued. "You also have the power in you to feel another's presence."
"What do you mean?" Lily asked.
"Concentrate on me. What do you feel?" Galadriel asked. Lily did as she was told and she closed her eyes concentrating hard on Galadriel. Lily then spoke with her eyes still closed.
"I feel warmth and tranquility." She then opened her eyes and saw Galadriel's smiling face.
"You felt my life. This gift helps you to know in darkness who is still alive or in danger." Lily smiled at the approval of the Lady of the Wood. Lily spent her next few months in Lothlorien with Haldir the captain of the Galadhrim. He had originally been instructed to teach her how to use weaponry, but instead all he did was enforce her skills she surprisingly already possessed.
