I still need a proof reader! Hehe. Any volunteers? Anyone?...no?...darn.
All was quiet in the dark blanket of night.. No light, sound, or motion. All was still. Only one person was awake at this hour. A young girl, elva, sat at her window sill looking up at the night sky. She stared into the moon with a delight only a child can deliver. Her raven black hair falling down her back in shiny waves, her ears tapered into they're tips, she was an enchanting sight. A look of sadness overcame the girl as she began to speak.
"O, beautiful Odessa, hear my call! I have awaited your return.. Your dreams Plague me ever more and I wish to know why! Why do I suffer so? Have I wronged you Odessa? You told me while I was in the womb that I would be happy yet all my life I have been in despair! Why Odessa? Why!"
The girl,looked down with a tear in her eye as she climbed off the window sill with a shallow thump when she hit the floor. Sighing, she climbed into bed and closed her eyes. All of the elves where in utter despair, for the first day of the thousandth year had come and gone yet no hope was brought. Thinking of this, elva began to drift into a waking dream that held her sleep.
In her dream she was with the ones she called family. Her mother and father, and someone she couldent explain. She felt she should know them, but just didint...then her plesent dream abruptly turned dark, and around her flames grew tall. She screamed out, scared. She looked around in a wild panic, only to see that her parents and the mysterious figure she knew so well where gone,replaced with flames in the shape of people. Her eyes widened and she screamed again, only to find there was no sound. She was terrified. Then, suddenly, the flames where gone, replaced by a single person towering over her. " child, as you have called, I have come." The figure said. Elvas mind raced. Who? Called? She began to recall she was actually asleep, and smiled as she relized she was speaking with the being known as Odessa, guardian of the elves. "Oh Odessa! Thank you!" She cried. Odessa nodded. "Why have you called upon me little one?" She asked calmly, but with a smile. Elva chose her words with careful caution, knowing one slip could be a big mistake.
" you told me, long agao, I would be very happy in my life. Yet I have nothing but despair... My family stolen from me, and no friends to call upon... Where you speaking in riddles Odessa?" The larger women smiled and shook her head."child, when you awake, you will find what I meant so long ago. I can give you only a small piece of advice child. Be patient, be calm, and DONOT be afraid of what you encounter, for if you are, all hope is lost."
With that, the dream began to fade..
Elva woke with a start, sitting straight up. She was used to these dreams, , but she had never dreamed of odessa before climbed out of bed, only to fall when her foot slipped over something smooth and round that hadn't been there when she went to sleep. Crawling over to it, she found it wasn't round, but long like a birds egg, but incredibly smooth and without falt. She picked it up, and found it was heavy. She knocked on it once to find that it sounded hallow. Wondering what it was, elva looked closer to see a lighter colour then the stone running throughout it. Like veins covering every inch of it, but leaving enough space for the dim blue to show. Shaking her head, she climbed back into bed, with the stone still in hand. She laid it next to her as she drifted back into sleep, but for the first time in years, her slumber was not plagued by any unpleasant things, but rather, of sun and grass, and long stretches of sky that went on for miles and miles...
