Status: Complete
Rating: PG-13 for drug mentions

Gandalf didn't have much occasion to visit a law office, but this was special circumstances, and this was a specific law office. He had a ring on his finger that was very warm, and visions of other worlds dancing through his head. He walked up to the receptionist and rapped on the table, "I'm here to see Galadriel."

He peered at the ring, and nodded his head, "Yes..yes you were wearing that ring. You looked like a fairy. Or a Goddess. A Lady in White with an uncommon power and strength of will. There were others like you, but not like you."

Chuckling, he added, as he held out his own hand and Narya that rested upon it, "You showed me yours, so I shall show you mine."

Galadriel couldn't help the chuckle at the way Gandalf described her in his dreams. She felt the same way about herself, but she could also feel the powers of others, stronger beings, around her.

Galadriel took in a deep breath as she set eyes on Narya. "It was Cirdan who gave this ring," she said. "Mine came from Celebrimbor himself." She paused, realizing her words. "There is so much more to these rings than meets the eye, I fear."

"Cirdan, yes. I dreamed about him, and the giving of this ring. I was on some important errand. There were five of us sent...."

Gandalf turned his hand over, and back, looking at the ring, as if trying to decipher it's meaning, "I was wearing this ring, and I stood upon a bridge deep beneath the earth. There was a terrible creature of shadow and fire."

His eyes grew distance, his voice took on a deeper quality, and it seemed as though the sun outside dimmed, "I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass."

"I held a glittering sword and a staff, and the sword and the creature's red blade clashed. I shattered it's weapon!"

Gandalf continued to be lost in the memory, or the drea, "It stepped upon the bridge. Behind me I could hear my allies, my friends coming to my aide, but they could not stand against this power. I took my staff and I smote the bridge, and sent the creature into the abyss. But it took me with it."

At least, he whispered, "Fly, you fools..."

And then all seemed normal, and he blinked his eyes, stunned.

Galadriel raised an eyebrow at Gandalf as he spoke. She had a vague memory of this particular instance, but not all the details. She had known that Gandalf had fallen into shadow and the Balrog had taken him, but even when she gave that news to the Fellowship she knew he would be okay.

"Yes," she said, her voice soft. "I remember, but I also remember not feeling too concerned about you falling. There was... chance for you yet."

	"I do not remember anything after I began to fall," the man replied, thoughtfully. "But I felt no fear for myself. Only acceptance. I understood the fate that awaited me." He chuckled, "I feared more for my companions." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"For Frodo," Galadriel replied with a nod. She understood the feeling. "Do you know why we felt it so important to keep Frodo safe?" she asked. She knew the answer, but she wanted to know if Gandalf did too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gandalf shook his head, "We discussed someone called the Necromancer at the council, and there was mention of another ring, but Frodo was only in the last dream, the one where I fell." He hummed to himself, "I cared for him a great deal." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"As did I," Galadriel replied. "Though, I suspect, not as much as you."

Galadriel uncrossed her legs and leaned in closer to Gandalf. "There is another ring, The One Ring, it controls all the other rings.. and the necromancer? His name is Sauron and it is his ring. Frodo was meant to kept it out of Sauron's hands and destroy it. And the ring is here, Gandalf. It's here in Orange County."

	"If this was coming from anyone else but you, I'd consider you a kook," Gandalf replied, his expression serious and his tone dark. "The One Ring, yes I recall that at the White Council." He sat up straighter, "If only I had more insight through these doorways. And I could feel a great power within myself, though one I was ..constrained by." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I can say the same about you," Galadriel replied with a smirk, but it was quickly replaced by her former dark facial expression. "That is the power of the Rings," she said with a nod. "It is our duty to protect, but not to rule." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"The question is, what do we do about this?" It was amazing how easily he accepted this. Like it was a mantle that slid onto his shoulders with ease, "What are we?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't have those answers," Galadriel replied with a shake of her head. "I'm not sure there is anything for us to do at this point. Keep an eye out. Watch. Wait. That's what we do. As for who we are?" She shrugged. "We're the keeper of the rings." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gandalf looked down at his hand, then hummed again as her words sank in, "I believe I could use something to take the edge off. How about you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Galadriel raised her eyebrows at Gandalf. Did he just say what she thought he said? He did. "No, thank you," she replied. "I should be going anyway. I have clients to see," she said. "Thank you for stopping by, Gandalf." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Even ringkeepers need to relax," He reminded her as he stood, "And who knows what new things we might see. It worked for Frodo. It was a pleasure to talk with you. We may need to keep in contact." He made his way to the door, conveniently forgetting on his chair a little baggie of the same stuff that had taken Frodo on a trip to Lorien. (Reply to this) (Parent)
