On an isolated island, a child's crying could be heard.
''Please, you are the only one I can turn to.'', a woman says. She doesn't look well, all the worries about this small child's future can be seen on her face.
The man sighs, ''Alright, I will do it.''
''Thank you.''
''Is there something else, that you want to say before you go?''
''Yes, her name is Branwen.'', after she says that, she gives the child to the man and turns around.
''Where will you go Iris? ''
''Probably back to them. But it doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is her safety.'', and after that was said, the woman went away. Then something started to spark, it was like a little firework,'' You can already use a magic little half elf?'', the baby smiles, watching the fireworks she had made,'' You have that part of an elf. Seems I will become your teacher, but that's in the future.''
It started to snow outside. A red thread, who can only be seen by people, that knows about such a thing, appeared around Branwen's finger and stretched outside, across the sea, to faraway land. The man, whose name is Geirr, could see the thread,'' And already the red thread made its way to the person you are destined to be with.'', Geirr looked through the window at the direction where the thread made its way,'' But it's probably a human, who shares the red thread with you. Humans had long forgotten, that something like this exist, only you will feel the pain, which comes with this thread. With each passing year, the calling from the thread will get stronger. You probably will feel, that you need to go search for something. And that something is your soul mate. '', Geirr looks at the baby girl,'' But now you are just a little half elf, that need to be kept safe.''
And, so it was the first night in the place, that Branwen will call home for many years.
AFTER 18 YEARS.
The door's opens as a girl, with long, curly, blond hair, purple eyes and most visible feature pointy ears, enters the room.
''Lugus! Lugus, where are you? We don't have a time for games. It's almost time for our plan to be set on action. Soon Geirr will be back.'', where is that cat hiding? I really don't have a time for this. It's my chance to see the world.
18 years I have lived in this place. One time, when I decided to climb on the highest point in this place, I seen something like moving across the sea. I wanted to see it closer, but then Geirr showed up and created a barrier around where we live. The barrier is for keeping me in. After I was trapped in a small piece of land, I started to look around it. One of the oldest parts of our house, where Geirr has forbidden me to go, but I was too bored by seeing all the same every day, so I decided to check out that place and there I found a book. The book explained what I saw that day, on the sea. A ship.
I wish to be on a ship and sail to a new land. If Geirr knew about my wish he, probably, would start his famous lecture, that human's bring trouble and would be afraid of me, because I am an elf, well, a half elf . I don't know why just a half elf, Geirr didn't tell everything about elves, but about his own kind, humans, he talks even less. When he talks about humans, then some small detail about them. He says, that humans long ago have forgotten about the ancient times and the magic. They even forgot, that they could use a magic. But who knows, only human I have ever seen is Geirr. But if I want to know, then I need to find that cat,'' Lugus, come out already or no magic cake for you.'', then a 40 kg cat jumps on me. That is Lugus. A snow leopard. My animal spirit.
Animal spirits looks like a real animals, but they eat a magical food, they can eat the real food too. I summoned Lugus when I was 4 years old. I know him almost all my life, so, of course, I will take him with me.
I use telepathy to talk with him.
''Lugus, did you forget what we supposed to do now?''
'' I remember, but it's the last time we will play in this place.''
''Ok, but now we really need to go.''
''Ok, use your magic.''
We go outside. I concentrate. I feel how the magic flows through my veins.
Geirr told me, that I have only a half of the magic, which a real elf would have. But if had the half, that has the long life, my magic would be even weaker. That's right, I will not live for a thousand years. My life is like human's.
Under me a magical circle appears. It shows 9 main elements. Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Darkness, Lighting, Ice, Plant and Light.
The barrier is made of a Lighting and a Light elements. The only way to break it is to use a two elements at the same time. But Geirr didn't teach me anything like this, but last week I found a book, that teach these things. Now I will see if I learned them well.
The Earth and the Darkness elements starts to glow. I send them on the barrier. It's sparks and disappears.
'' I did it, Lugus!''
''Yes, you did. Let's go see the world!''
I grab my backpack. It's full with magic books. I still need to learn so much about the magic.
It's been 8 years since the magic barrier was made. Finally, I will see the world.
I and Lugus run. After some time we are near the sea. Its first time for me to be, so close to the sea. Never ending water. And somewhere there is a land. A land, which I want to see.
'' So how are we going to get to the other land? ''
'' Well, I didn't think of that. Maybe I should use an ice magic to go on the water.''
''Branwen, we don't know how faraway is the land. Great, our escape failed. Now Geirr will make even stronger barrier.''
''Relax. I will think of something.''
Then Lugus turns his head. Seems, like he heard something.
''What are you hearing? Is it Geirr? ''
"No, it is different. It sounds like you, when you were smaller. A young girl's voice."
''We should check it.''
I follow Lugus to place where he heard the girl's voice. And there she was, a young girl. It's the second human I have seen, after Geirr.
She is jumping on the stones and was saying something about finding the sparkly thing. Could she be talking about the barrier, which I destroyed?
''Lily, be careful.'', I see two more humans nearing. So, her name is Lily. But then I see Lily nearing a place she should not to. The ground there is not stable. She may fall into the sea. But, she is not stopping! I run to her.
''Branwen, what are you doing?''
I run as fast as I can. I see that the ground breaks under the girl.
''Lily!'', I hear the humans screaming.
Magic flows so fast through me that it almost hurts. The magic circle appears and the air element starts to glow. I jump and the air flows around me. I catch the girl.
After getting on a safe place, I put her down. The two other humans are nearing.
The girl starts to speak,'' You saved me.'', and the two other humans looks at me. I feel, that the girl is touching my ears. O, no. They saw my ears,'' You are an elf! I was saved by an elf, that's so awesome!'', Geirr didn't tell anything about this kind of reaction after humans discovers, that I am an elf, but I am not,'' I am a half elf.''
'' What is your name? '', Lily asks.
''It's Branwen.''
There was a minute of silence, but then the man starts to talk,'' Branwen, is there anything we could do for you, as a gratitude for our daughter's saving?'', it's their daughter. I should see that, but I don't know much about a family.
'' You could ask, if we can travel on their ship.''
''Branwen, there is a beast, save us!'', Lily says, scared.
''Don't be afraid, that's my spirit animal. His name is Lugus.''
''Oh, can I pet him?''
''Only if you will ask about the ship?''
'' Well, there is something, that I and Lugus want to ask you. Do you get here on a ship?''
'' Yes.''
'' Well, don't let the chance slip away.''
'' Is it possible for us to travel with you?''
'' Yes! Mom, dad, please!'', they look at each other and the woman speaks,'' I think, it's possible, but we should hide, that you are an elf.''
'' Of course. ''
''No time to waste. Let's go to the ship.'', Lily says cheerfully.
Finally, I see a ship, so close. Its art made of wood.
As we enter the ship, people starts to look at me and Lugus, but the man orders them to go back to work. We enter a room, where is a girl, she addresses the man and the woman as King James and Queen Isabella. So, Lily is a princess. The girl is their maid. Her name is Chloe. She wrapped my ears with fabric, so I could hear, but the pointy ears could not be seen,'' There everything is ready. Now you can go out. The people will not see your pointy ears. But I have to say they look cute.''
'''You already have charmed her, the trip isn't even started.''
''What are you talking about?''
'' Didn't you hear what the maid said, we can go out of this room!''
'' Let's go outside.'', I say out loud.
The wind is strong. The ship was already some distance away from the island. Goodbye Geirr. Sorry, that I could only say that to you with a letter, but you would not let me go. I hope we meet again. Then I look at the other side.
''Hey, Branwen.''
''Princess Lily.''
'' You can call me Lily. So are you excited? I am. This is my first trip.''
''My too. Interesting, where are we sailing to?''
''To Arendelle. Mom and dad will have some trade discussions.''
''Arendelle.''
Maybe, if Lugus would look at Branwen in that moment, he maybe would see the red thread for a split of second near Branwen, but no one on the ship seen that red thread . A man who was holding a letter and an eagle, that were on the island, seen that red thread.
''The ship isn't so far away. You could still stop her, Geirr.''
'' No, I have already lost the battle with the thread.''
The eagle started something like a laugh.
''And what's so funny?''
'' I remember, that you said, that you will not take to close to heart the baby, but now she is grown up and you can't let her go . In the end she became like a daughter to you.''
''I should told more to her about the humans world. She maybe is grown up for the island life, but for a humans world she is just a child.''
''She will need to grow up, no matter how painful it will be.''
''I hope, that you will find your soul mate and somehow your soul mate will see the red thread."
