CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
Thirty years passed...
As I make my way down the dark road, a now light rain pattering against the top of my hood, my boots trudge in the mud. As the time approaches the early hours of the morning, the alleys are deserted, which is surprising given that I now walk in the more peaceful Underhill neighborhood.
A hop in my step as I whistle an old fairy tale, I think to myself, "Ah, the fragrance of fresh horse manure and under-bathed creatures."
Underhill is one of my favorite places to visit, despite its filthiness. Not only are the folks here pleasant to be around, but they are also highly appreciative of my earnings. This is the major motivation behind why and what I do.
The sky is still dark, and the sun has yet to rise, making it the perfect time for me to leave. Because no one sees me at night, I always leave at night. They'd identify me if I walked around in the daylight at any time.

As I stroll down the dimly lighted hall, my leaves boots creak, cutting through the stillness as I adjust my veil to conceal my head. As I feel, my course has suddenly changed being grabbed and dragged about my body inside one of the rooms that border the street corridor. My arms are freed from their grip. Swing with my reflexes and grasping a strong blow to the face with a stone. "Who ordered you this?! Let go of me!" I shouted, I was going crazy and they were still trying to pull me away. They covered my whole head with a cloth and I could see nothing but darkness. And I feel like they're lifting me, "Make a report." one of them said. She no longer knew what was going on and why they were doing this to me. "Put me down!" She still tries to shout without knowing that those are Lycans in disguise as an Elf. “Can you take off this thing around my head! I can’t breathe!” she shouted and she passed out due to the lack of air she takes while the Lycans are still carrying

The night sky was a combination of blackness and star poetry. The softness induced the body and mind to relax, allowing the heart to return to its normal rhythm. Night arrived as a sort of pleasure, a sense of calmness above all else."The water is calm," Obligichaun said while soaking his hands on the water."How about the sky?" Legolas said while looking up at the sky. Obligichaun stared too, "I never knew this would be very beautiful but look! Oh— I never realize that it reflects on the water a while ago!" as they paddled and paddled"Well, we have to get ready now. As you can see... that red blood sky looking down that land is welcoming us." Legolas reminded and they paddled slowly witnessing the water getting red as the wind getting an awful smell until they make it from the shore. “Are you sure about this?” Obligichaun said. As they step on the rocky shore, an awful stench from above the alley embraced them, a smelly carcass is emitting a

In my sanctum, I lay calm and silent in the field of dandelions, wrapped by the skin of soil with absolute amnesia of the quick marching of time and deprived of comradeship. This is how I am rooted in the gorgeous part of reality—the flaming brilliance of the sun, proud and powerful in the dispersing clouds, its heat whom my pores embraced with the soft hum of the wind—I imprisoned my mind and fixed my thoughts to where I was, not choosing to slide away towards my rest. How can you manage to be both complex and simple at the same time, life? In the absence of words, I discovered songs that my voice exploits in my solitude, my territory, my precious throne. In the same place where I drank in my madness like a fine wine and summoned death to save my soul, but was ignored by those who claimed I had a lot more life in me than I had ever imagined, It would take a world-cataclysm of epic proportions to enter my lane, which is awe-inspiring in its eager desire to see t

"That's freaking annoying! Where else have you seen ugly pixies and even those headless monsters dancing together ..." Obligichaun said to himself. "But wait, where are they? I need to find Legolas."In Obligichaun's head, a hive of bees began to swarm.A restless and frost-covered clearing was bathed in red moonlight. A bone-chilling breeze spooked the small critters within the long grass, buzzing and chirping insects. These frigid gusts of wind blew in from the neighboring ocean, casting massive shadows across the surrounding terrain, hiding threats and causing illusions to sway back and forth. Large ancient oak trees worked as astute wardens, encircling the field and providing a sense of protection and obscurity, as well as a nice area for any creatures to rest undisturbed but yet dangerous.His cap snagged on branches as he soared past the oak tree, darting around the birch trees' delicate black and white trunks. He came to a complete stop a meter away from

"What are we going to do, what are we going to do?" wailed the leprechaun. "Escaping trolls to be caught by Lycans!" he exclaimed, and the phrase became a proverb, albeit we now say out of the frying pan and into the fire in similar situations."Up the trees, hurry!" exclaimed Legolas, and they dashed to the glade's edge, searching for trees with low branches or slender enough to swarm up. You can guess that they located them as quickly as they could and that they went as high as they could trust the branches. Legolas was perched on a tall larch, looking like a colossal Christmas tree. Charlotte felt more at ease in a massive pine with regular branches protruding at regular intervals like spokes of a wheel, a gigantic pine standing at the glade's very edge. They were almost concealed by the tree's wreaths, but the leprechaun's eyes gleamed in the red moon as he peered out. However, he slid out of Charlotte's shoulder by accident."Legolas!" the princess shouted making

Charlotte stood up and covered her head with her hood when Legolas suddenly pulled her shoulder. "And where do you think you're going?" said Legolas to Charlotte.Charlotte tapped Legolas' hand on her shoulder and said, "You don't know anything there, I'm alive and I'm just doing my duty ...""And what duty‽" Legolas suddenly replied to her and Charlotte stopped walking after she took her three steps."It's not going to end here, Legolas. This wickedness will grow with each victory. We will do nothing if the rules and fates have their way. We'll hide behind our walls, spend our lives away from the light, and let the darkness fall upon us. The only thing that is required for evil to triumph is for decent folks to do nothing... I don't want to sit there and watch and listen to these occurrences. I want to make a change, explore, and find new things, and I will do everything in my power to save the world."Legolas went silent and Legolas faced Allessia and Ara

A burst of yellow fire flared in the sky, and Legolas cowered back, fearful for a minute, speculating into what awful Underhill town Charlotte was carrying them. The little leprechaun scratched his eyes, and when he saw the moon rising above the eastern shadows, almost as full as the western rise of the sun, he rubbed his eyes even harder. “What? What’s happening?” Obligichaun said. Then, the night was still young, and the long voyage to the east would take hours. He stood up straight and talked.'Where are we going, Leggie?' he asked.'In the realm of Sharrveineil,' the wizard answered. 'The other hill is still passing by... we must check on the people. I hope Aradan and the wizards were taking responsibility at a charge.'“Is the moon colliding with the sun? It’s an unbelievable phenomenon.” he panicked.There was a silence again for a while. Then, 'What is that?' cried Obligichaun suddenly, clutching at Legolas

The warm sun that shone down beyond the river but the night part sky is still there as little leprechaun slid down Legolas' shoulder and walked in the glades glowed here on the smooth edges and deeply ingrained pillars, and the wonderful arch with centerpiece carven in the likeness of a crowned and kingly head, as they emerged from the shadow to the fifth gate.The elven guards of the entrance wore silver-green robes, and their helms were oddly shaped, high-crowned, with long cheek-guards nearer to the face, and white sea-bird wings set above the cheek-guards; but the helms glistened with a flame of silver, for they were indeed wrought, keepsakes from the honor of old days. A tree flowering like snow underneath a silver canopy and many-pointed stars were embroidered in white on the silver-green surcoats. This was the heirs' livery, and no one wore it today in Sharrveneil except the fortress guards in front of the waterfall, where the largest enormous tree formerly grew.
