I'm Back In Lothlorien

I ate all the food that the elf had brought me. I was so glad that even though I was in two places, both of my stomachs were full of food.

"Thank you so much," I said gratefully.

"You're very welcome, Miss Fawnabelle. Is there anything else you would like?" she asked.

"Actually yes, could you tell me where I am?" I asked.

"You're in Lothlorien," she answered with a puzzled look. 

"Again? But how?" I questioned.

"You never left," Galadriel said as she entered the room.

"Lady Galadriel!" I stood up and bowed. "I don't understand. I thought I had left! What happened to me?" 

"It was not long after our conversation that you were escorted to your room. You seemed unconscious but able to walk. You couldn't talk nor hear anything I asked you," Galadriel explained.

"I really have to work on this bi locating thing," I thought. I heard Bilbo laugh.

"You will learn in time. Patience is key," she replied, using her mind reading trick.

"I am amazed every time you speak to me in my mind," I said aloud. She laughed.

"I can't burden Bilbo with this. He can't guide me all the way back to the Lonely Mountain... I know! I can stay here and strengthen my skills! You can help me!" I exclaimed.

"I will do what I can but I cannot guarantee you will fully learn about your gift while you are here," Galadriel mentioned wisely. 

"I know I can't learn everything. But I also can't have Bilbo worrying about me. I'm just not sure if it's the right thing to do... I wish Gandalf were here," I sighed sadly.

"Mithrandir will not always have the answers. You must learn to listen to your heart. Do what your heart tells you," she advised.

"I've been given a gift and I can't help anyone if I don't know how to use it. All I can do is try. If it doesn't work, then it's not meant to be," I thought aloud.

"Then we shall see what happens. Good luck, Fawnabelle," Galadriel said. I closed my eyes and began to see a very blurry Bilbo.

"Bilbo?" I thought. "I'm going to stay in Lothlorien. I don't want you to worry about me. I'll be back when I'm ready."

"No, please don't go," I heard Bilbo say. Tears started to fill my eyes. When I opened them, I was still in Lothlorien. 

"Are you there, Bilbo?" I thought. No answer came from him. I wiped away a tear; I would see him soon enough.
