I was actually thinking of a fish mutant, but I guess a mermaid is acceptable."Haven't you seen one before?" She said and flipped her hair.I closed my mouth then - not trusting myself to speak - and shook my head.Her eyes cast downward towards the bota bags beside me and her eyebrow raised. "Getting some water?" She asked.I nodded my head as my answer."Well then. Let me help you with that." With one powerful push of her arms, she hauled herself up, scooped the bota bags and swam a semi circle around the lake at an amazing speed before coming back again. "Believe it or not the water is fresher at the center. You're welcome." She said and placed the now filled bota bags beside me. When I didn't speak, she started to frown.

***ROSE***I sat and stared frightfully at the thing that was staring at me. The little brown spirit wolf that has been following me since passing the ruins of Gija is now staring at me."Dude, I don't know why you are following me, but this is starting to get creepy." Not to mention that it's like I am in a real life horror movie!The little brown wolf shifted on its feet and wagged its tail excitedly when I spoke to it and started barking.I let out a little cry of fear when it kept barking at me. I didn't even do anything! "Please go away." I cried and moved farther back into the shell bed. "I don't wanna play with you!" I said.As if it understood me, it started to whimper and it's ears folded in sadly. Looking at it, I kind of started to feel

We arrived in Tordis quicker - as Nate had planned - by only taking a few breaks and travelling the whole night. Looking at Ace's kingdom, you could really tell that it was truly a magnificent place for the elves. The area itself already looked magical with an alternating jagged tree bark surrounding the whole area as fences. The tallest bark stood at the farthest; near the castle coming smaller and smaller as it surrounds the entire kingdom until it just stops and vanishes into the ground – didn't even make a full circle."This is the place where the once great oak tree stood. It was once inhabited by the whole elven kingdom." Ren spoke behind me as if sensing my wonder regarding the tree barks. The whole way to Tordis, I took a ride with Ren since Ace was too weak to transfer on Midnight. Also, I was too scared to ride on Ace's horse. Trust me, it's like Ace and his horse buddy are one for they sha

"In the garden. There's a spring that can help with the healing. Take him there." Queen Siera ordered.In that instant his brothers started to approach him but he waved them all away. "I can walk by myself." He said but the moment that he took one step forward his legs gave out and he fell on the floor coughing. He groaned in pain and I could tell that he was trying to hold it on. His brothers were right there beside him and helping him up. As soon as Ace raised his head we all gasped.Not only was his nose bleeding, but he was crying out blood too. My heart pounded at the sight. Are we going to lose Ace too? At the thought, my hands started shaking.No. I don't want that."Get him in the garden! Quick!!" The queen ordered.W

The next morning, I woke up early because of the loud chirping of the birds outside of my room. Normally I would throw a fit because I am not a morning person. But as of now I could barely sleep because I am still worried about a certain prince.I took a shower and got dressed for the day. One of the things that I love about this place is that the Elves respect your privacy - not sure if this is the right word. When I woke up, they simply had everything prepared for me. From the dresses to bath essentials, but I have not seen any Elf in my room. Then I thought about yesterday how a group of Elves simply appeared before the princes and I.The dress that I got was a very silky peach that looks like an evening gown but more flowy and elegant. Somehow it reminds me of what the Romans back on Earth used to wear - according to books and movies anyway. I started pacin
