Chapter1: The Preparations
Halith danced about merrily on her bed. Tonight was the big party for
elves and men of all kind. The king had invited everyone in the land. Halith lived in the town Fornost and loved it. This was a town where elves and men live together. Best of all, every year the king had a grand party. This year though the Prince of Mirkwood was invited. She had heard so many mysterious things about him. Oh how she wished he would notice her, dance with her, take a walk with her, anything. She wanted to do something to get his attention.
Halith's family was one of the wealthy elf family's in Fornost. She had long dark brown hair, which she always braided and then put up in a bun. She had bright blue eyes that shimmered in the moonlight. She danced so divinely that she never missed a step. Yet, she was not perfect. Her elven mother had married a mortal man. She was immortal and had the beauty of an elf, but was not perfect. She hoped this would not affect a relationship with the Prince.
Just then her servant Ceng came walking in with a silk dress in her hands. Halith stopped dancing and jumped of the bed. She felt the dress for softness and nodded with approval. A sudden look of relief came upon Ceng's face. If Halith learned one thing during her life it was this. Don't make Ceng upset. If you do you won't see her for three days.
" Thank you Lady Halith. It has been a great honor working on this dress for you. If anyone compliments on it you will tell them I made it won't you?" Ceng asked with a pleading look in her eyes.
"Of course I will. I always tell people that the dress was made by my Beautiful servant." She said.
Lesson number two always compliment her. Never insult her. That just Makes her angry. She'll yell words you never thought imaginable. She actually Gets scary. You don't even know sometimes what you said.
" Do you think you'll enjoy tonight? I heard it was to be a party of the highest royalty." Ceng said.
" Yes I do." Halith said. " If you promise to be good I promise to bring home a piece of cake."
" Oh, I promise." Ceng said her lips already moist with drool.
