The Hamlet
"It would not be the worst idea in the world to sleep with a few blankets," Nimuel grinned at Aelanor, "I know how cold your feet gets."
"I am not afraid, and I am not admitting anything of the sort to this to this little hooligan," Aelanor huffed.
"He is adorable," Nimuel smiled, "and he's got you."
"He has not!"
Khoral gave a shivering neigh, and Aelanor looked at him, worried. "It's not for me, but I suppose I could say it for all of you."
"You are unbelievable," Nimuel snorted.
"What? You think I would give a child half my size the satisfaction to see that he has gotten the best out of me? Think again," Aelanor rolled her eyes.
"You do realise that I can hear your whispers, do you not, Princess Aelanor?" Haz'th laughed softly.
"Oh, how he infuriates me!"
There was a silence, as Aelanor seethed, and Haz'th sniggered; Nimuel just smiled at the two of them. The horses neighed again, a tiring sigh, and Aelanor g

Propping herself on her elbow, Aelanor looked out to her sleeping companions. The horses were snoring peacefully in a makeshift stable, and Nimuel was curled up in a thick blanket; but Haz'th didn't seem to need one. He was sleeping on a pile of straws he had fashioned into a bed, and overrode all their objections saying that he is not able to feel the touch of dry grass, thereby, it didn't matter to him where he sleeps. Smiling slightly, Aelanor fell asleep in a comfortable sleep.The crowing of the rooster woke Aelanor up. She could hear the cutlery clicking against the pots and pans, and the smell of fried egg wafting towards her and knew that Haz'th was already awake. She wondered how the rooster knew it was morning since there was no sun in the sky.She wondered a while about the kid. He was the first and still the only humanoid they had met in this strange land, and the land itself was strange. According to Haz'th, people were scared of the ruler, but why would t
The Elven Princess Ally
A cold sweep of air passed through as the she-creature sat on the throne, looking down at the group, her face devoid of expressions. Wondering if any of it is a threat, Aelanor and Nimuel looked at each other. "We understand that, Princess," Haz'th addressed her. "Yes, we do," Aelanor looked at her, "and we can ship gold, or jewels, from our lands." "I have no use for gold, Princess Aelanor," Princess Saayan replied, her voice devoid of emotions. She looked at the trio in a appraising manner before continuing, "But I do need a personal favour." "But, we will come back to that later. First, tell me, Princess, what is it that you need, and have travelled all the way to this notorious land for?" Aelanor looked at Nimuel, who gave her a nod. "Princess, you must be well aware of the curse that is going on around the Immortal Lands, hurting and destroying the immortal beings." Princess Saayan nodded. "My own mothe
The Elven Princess The Ceremony
"I cannot take these, no!" Aelanor said, "And where did you even get these dresses from? I thought shadow creatures don't need clothes?""I am a vessel for the worlds- the reason why I can change into a solid being, like yourselves, or shadow at will- which, I was sure you would have guessed if you were as clever as you look, Princess."Aelanor had had enough. Curling the black dress into her fists and quite forgetting that she was a Princess, she threw the lot at Haz'th, who ducked."Aren't Elves supposed to be fast?" he laughed.Nimuel entered the cottage to find Haz'th dodging objects in the room with apparent ease, as Aelanor ran behind him like a bull shown red. As Haz'th reached Nimuel, she put a protective hand on him and pulled him behind her, as Aelanor tried to grab the kid out of her hold."Stand aside, Nimuel. This midget...""No, sister. Step back. He's a child," she pushed her gently, still laughing."This child is
The Elven Princess The Plan
”So, if I understand this correctly,” Saayan was saying, “this supposed sister of yours could be the carrier of maladies to the Palace, and your father closed the door to the outside to stop it from entering the Palace? It seems to me that common sense might not be your father’s strong suit.”Saayan was sitting on the dinner table with her guests just for company, but Aelanor noticed that she did seem to look at their food with something of a longing expression.“Mother believes that father was hoodwinked by Moraen’s magic, and that rendered his judgement erroneous,” she replied.“Yes, banishing his only daughter to face death all those years ago certainly seems like the judgement of a man in possession of his mental faculties," Nimuel scoffed.Aelanor shoot her a look, and Nimuel went on to concentrate on her bowl of beef stew, intending to whisper something to Haz'th. To her slight surprise, she saw Haz'th look at Saayan with something like anger, and perhaps sadness too. The latter
The Elven Princess Forward
Spoons hanging in air, the females at the table stayed still for a second, which seemed like an eternity to Aleanor. Even though everyone had already started feigning an indifference to the apparent fact that their new friend was the Princess' offspring, Aleanor felt that the slight moment that had passed between the two seemed indecent. She was unable to look at the child, though every inch of her being wanted to. And it was not about the fact that Haz'th seemed to be a bit resentful towards his mother, or even that she now knew what the wheelbarrow in front of his house was for. She just knew."So, what do you suppose our next stop should be? Should we continue towards the Misty Mountains of the Dream Isles, as my mother suggested?" Nimuel asked."I see no other alternative. I would visit the place, if I must." She sighed."What is wrong with the Misty Mountains? I thought it is a good place, my mother said that so," Nimuel asked."I am not sure how good the place is," the Princess
The Elven Princess Elgarest
A path of light shining above them, the crew started their journey to the mysterious land of Misty Mountains. Since Saayan and Haz'th could move without any physical fatigue, and Khoral and Nexus had rested well, so their journey forward was smoother than they could have hoped.After a few days journey, they came across a bend in the road that was enveloped with lush trees from all sides. The clearing was so thick that the base of the mountains was not visible until they had come close enough to climb them. The journey upward took a few more days, but their ration and energy still felt full.The Misty Mountains of the Dream Isles was unlike any other mountain they had ever seen. It was white, and the rocks on the mountains was entirely marble. It stood in contrast with the other mountains around it. After five days, they reached the capital city of Elgarest. It wasn't like the rest of the Dream Isles at all.A sprawling castle could be seen from about 2.5 km from outside the city itse
The Elven Princess The Helper of All
Pylaieus lead through a castle made entirely of blue ice, and Aelanor shuddered. She hated the cold winds in these high mountains, albeit it was considerably lesser than what one would expect at such height. There was some magic working in whole of the Dream Isles that kept the frozen water warm enough to walk even barefoot. The group made it to the Queen's chambers . The huge silver door opened to a ballroom, at the end of which were two giant claws of white ice, each two feet wide . And in between was a sparkling chandelier made of ice, with shards poking out every which way. Beneath the chandelier that was entirely made of icicles, was Queen Elektra. The Queen's azure eyes travelled over to the group, and her lips relaxed into a smile. She got up from her throne and approached the party. She was draped in a periwinkle dress; her silver hair flowing behind her and radiating an unearthly glow. Her pale skin looked translucent in the bright lights of the court. She held out a h
The Elven Princess Betrayal
The adornments around the icy hall took away the breath of every creature that beheld it. Towering blue icicles running down from the ceiling to the floor giving off a bright golden glow constituted the numerous pillars inside. The hall didn't look anything like its name- it was essentially a cave. Silver, blue and white- uneven walls and passages made it eerily charming and almost too easy to get lost inside the giant hall. There were thousands of stalagmites and stalactites around the hall, and the guests had to keep a very sure feet to make sure they didn't stumble on any of them.It was a relief when the chief part of the hall came into view. It was a stretch of sparkling blue ice, with tables and chairs made of same. The dishes too were made of ice, but the food was not cold, nor were anything else. A wall of blue satin waterfall poured forth from the wall of a cave at the far end of the hall. The lights bouncing off it looked like silver silk threads embedded.Elektra was standi
