A beautiful laughter was heard through the waterfalls the sound was like that of birds singing to the morning sun. A young girl ran faster than any human, she jumped from rock to rock until she got to the lake that was formed where the waterfall crashed. This was her favorite place to be, there she could swim, run, laugh, sing, and do whatever she pleased without having to worry about the other elves. She had found this hiding place one day when she was running away from her city. She took off her skirt, and stood with only her leggings then she dove into the water. The cold hit her, but it took a few seconds for her body to get used to the temperature. After a while of floating on her back she got out of the water and started climbing the waterfall. Once she was at the top she lunged herself forward and fell through the air. After a few seconds of flying she hit the water. Unlike most of the elves she loved flying, which is why she visited that place so much. When she was here she could jump from the waterfall as much as she liked and swim which was the closest she got to flying. She spent long hours there simply enjoying the freedom. The place was green, except for the waterfall and occasional rocks. When she first got to that place it wasn't as green, but after years of singing to it grass and plants had grown nonstop. It was her very own paradise and she had worked hard to make it that way.
She swam a long time, and then decided to jump again. She climbed, and once at the top, instead of lunging forward she just stepped. She fell very close to the water something she had never done. When she hit the lake she sunk to the bottom and stepped on a hard friction-less surface. Scared she swam upwards, it wasn't as anything she had ever felt before. Curiosity overwhelmed her and she decided to discover what had been that thing. She dove into the water and once she was at the bottom of the lake she looked for the thing. After searching for some time, she had to get some air again. She tried again, this time succeeding. With the lump in her hands she went to the surface and out of the water. Once out she turned to discover that what she had hit in the lake was a large purple rock with a tiny white mark on top or it. She had never seen anything like it. She extended her mind towards it and felt energy within. A rock shouldn't have energy she thought puzzled. After examining it a bit more she thought it must be an egg.
