Anyone who had seen Lancashire would most likely describe it as "A world full of greens and browns". The Elven forest was pretty much closed in by trees, so, it was like it was in its own little world outside The Springs. Green an amber leaves scatter the forest floor, whilst tall trees with dark green leaves loomed over the top of you like giant umbrellas. Only a tiny bit of light is able to seep through the leaves, gentle and soft like the trunks of each tree. The base of these were massive, and if you cut out the center at least two people would be able to fit in it. In here is where the adventurers would find the elves, and, the departed pigeon.
Alana and Moonshine walk slowly through the forest of Elves, it was unlike anything you would ever see in your whole life. The trees looked like they could reach the heavens, the leaves covered the sky as rays of light washed down from the open areas, the sounds of birds chirping and small hooves running through the forest made the area seem quite relaxing. "Stick close, sometimes the Elves don't like people wondering around in their ancient lands." Alana warned her companions behind her.
Whispa nodded. She had known an elf there, but she too had disappeared long ago. The elves could be extremely aggressive when it came to defending their territory from strangers. Luckily they knew a few people from Redwater, those including Alana, Whispa, and funnily enough, Bob, who had an extremely soft side for them.
The three adventurers plodded on over the crackling of the dead leaves. "We need to hurry if we want to save the mage... whoever this guy is." Bob said. He was a little bit older then Alana and Whispa, and he had met the mage just once when getting a sleeping potion for King Kyne after the death of his Queen. Although he never really knew the mage, or even his name, Bob was still determined to help save his life.
Alana nodded in agreement, "I know this, but in order to find this place we need acceptance to enter Lancashire from a elf." Pointing forward, "We will always walk in circles without finding the palace. It's how the elves keep their home secret from wanderers that stumble into their forest." Shrugging as she stopped Moonshine, "It's pointless to keep going forward, we wait til an Elf assists us." Alana spoke calmly as she sat there not moving.
Whispa thought, her serious face turning in to a big grin. "Hey, they know you, right Bob?" She asked, chuckling. She then hopped off her horse and slowly walked over to Gypsy... Being sure the leaves didn't crackle under her feet. When she was near the horses rare, she gave it a hard slap, sending the horse whinnying, who kicked Bob off her back by accident. "AAHOOWWwW" Bob yelled. The elves surely would've heard his "Cry for help" now, and would have hopefully come running.
Alana turned her head sharply to see the act, "What are you doing?!" She said in a angry tone. Moonshine seemed uneasy all of a sudden. The wind died down and it went silent, Alana frowned before looking around the forest. The leaves stopped moving and it grew uncomfortable. Whispa smiled. "Don't you get it!? The elves will come running and see its us. They'll probably think Bob's fallen off his horse or something!" She said, watching Gypsy nudge Bob, who was still sitting on the ground. "She has a point". Said bob, mumbling as he slowly stood up.
Alana sighed, for once her friend actually had a working plan. In the instant Alana let her guard down two Elves sprung from the trees, dressed in all green with their blonde and brown hair either tied or braided out of their face. Alana looked up to see them and with a small gesture the Elves lowered their swords. "Alana of Redwaters." One elf stated as he looked at the other two, "We were not expecting you to make it here so quickly." He continued as he held the small note that was attached to the bird who was sitting on his shoulder. The bird chirped happily as it flew towards Alana and perching on Moonshine's short mane. "It was important, we have no time to sit here and talk, please excuse our bad manners but is Lasinda here?" Alana spoke calmly towards the two elves. One elf looked towards the other one before nodding, "Yes she is here, we can take you to her." He said friendly as he pointed towards the west.
