Work Text:

She teaches them, the daughters of dryads and dwarves and giants, who are bold enough to search for her and strong enough to learn. She does not give any of them enough knowledge to set themselves as rivals to her, but her tradition grows until it can stand without her, and when she goes south to conquer the lion’s country she knows she leaves a legacy behind her.

Not that one such as she, who has eaten of the fruit of the Tree, would ever need a legacy; but even with immortality she cannot be in two places at once.
