At the dawning of the moon, the elves came together in a large cirlce, palm against palm. A single elven child stood in the middle of the circle, bewilderment in her eyes.

After a few moments of glorious silence the elves began to sing a sweet melody. The song was...beautiful...it was sad and mournful, yet skipping with joy, I never felt such emotions in myself when the words escaped their lips. The girl began to glow until she was a calming colour of silver and greys. Then she started to dance.

Light flittered from the souls of her feet, and the air around her glittered with a deep magic. Daraunde and I were frozen to the earth, we couldn't keep our eyes off of them, but we didn't want to look away anyways. Lunethia walked beside me and held the pant of my legs with her hands, in fear? Or wonder?

We stood for hours, minutes, days...we didn't know, it seemed as though all time was lost in this most sacred of events.

The elven child danced a dance of fury and hatred now, I could see tears running from my face...then before she hit the climax of her dance, she fell to the ground...she then lifted her small head and looked out to Daraunde and I, whispering something all the while.

One by one, the elves turned to look at us, their eyes peircing through the very core of my being. They stepped gracefully out, extending their arms and hands to us.

As skin met skin I felt a burning yet pleasureable feeling surge through out my body. I flenched, but stood my ground. Daraunde was buried amongst the hands, so I could not see what was happening. The burning sensation quickly turned into an icy cold blanket, covering my body. My skin was like ice...but it felt so good....I gasped for air, trying o see if Daraunde and Lunethia were alright, but then everything went soothingly black around me...

I woke later lying on the mossy ground, Daraunde and Lunethia by my side. All was quiet...all was still. "What has happened...?"
