Okay well, this is my first story I've submitted, and it is about a webcomic of which I am a big fan called "Mystican Dreams" by a very good friend of mine! I really enjoy the comic, and I recommend you read it before you read this, as it's really much easier to understand.

'The time has come at last. Perhaps now… this terrible war can stop.' As King Casaelas, King of the Gold Elves, sat upon his gilded throne these thoughts and more whirled about in a frenzy within the confines of his psyche.

The treaty had finally been agreed upon. The Golds and Silvers would now finally have peace! Nine hundred long years… and now it was finally over. All that was needed was for the treaty to be signed, and it was done!

'This is it, my love.' He thought, reminiscing, thinking of his lost wife, killed in an assassination attempt. 'This accursed war… the war that claimed your life… will at long last be over and done. And our little Echo will live a good life. Just as we wanted.'

As if on cue, a small voice called out to Casaelas' left.

"Daddy!"

Coming out of the hall to the royal chambers was the very 72 year old he had thought of. (that'd be about 9 or so in humans) Almost involuntarily he smiled. "Hello Echo, my dear."

She ran forward, herdress-skirts almost tripping her once, before jumping up and landing in her father's arms, beaming with excitement.

She was dressed in a very stylish violet blouse and her skirts were lavender. Her almost crimson red hair was freshly combed, and her sparkling blue eyes made just about any adult's heart melt. Casaelas liked to brag to himself that he had the prettiest daughter in all the kingdom.

"Why's everyone so excited, Daddy? Nanny Ena woke me up and said to hurry and get dressed for guests coming! Who's coming, Daddy? Who, who, who!" she was practically bouncing with eagerness!

Laughing heartily, Casaelas grinned to match his daughter. "Very important guests, Echo! The Queen of the Silvers is coming!"

"What for? Aren't we fighting the Silvers?" Echo looked profoundly confused.

Casaelas chuckled. "Yes dear, but that's WHY she's coming. We are going to sign a treaty that will end the war!"

Echo's eyes widened. "You mean… no more danger? No more fighting, or invasions?"

"Yes. Exactly."

Echo looked positively ecstatic. "YAY!" She rushed around the room, jumping and laughing, and tripping over her skirts several times…

Laughing at his child's antics, Casaelas thought. 'That's right, my little one. No more danger… no more fighting… no more fear for you. Only happiness. Or at least,' he frowned, 'I hope it turns out that way.
