"Mother!" calls a small girl, her silvery blonde hair streaming behind her and she comes tearing toward her mother, bare feet pounding against the dirt.
"What do you need Lillea (Lil-LAY-yuh)?" Arya responds, not unkindly.
"Can we play swords?" Lillea asks, shy now that she is directly under her mother's gaze, kind yet intimidating. "Please?
"I suppose I'm free at the moment," Arya replies with a soft sigh. "Let's go."
At 115 years old, Arya is quite young for an elf. At only six, Lillea is the youngest elf in Ellesméra. At least, she is mostly elf. Nobody can yet be sure if she possesses the longevity of one, but it seems promising as she has the pointed ears and all the physical attributes of an elf. For though Arya is a full blood elf, Lillea's father is somewhat of a cross.
Though only a game, seeing Lillea fight with her toy sword invokes pride in Arya. Even though so young, Lillea is already a fine swordsman. She possesses determination Arya has only ever seen in one other before: Lillea's father.
