Elisa quickly picked up her pace. She finds a blonde man smoking a hookah. The two stare at each other in silence for some time. Them the man addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice. "who are you?" "That is hardly any way to start a conversation," Elisa replied rather shyly. "And who are you to question me!" "W-well I.." "Exactly." He put the hookah back in his mouth. Then he blows a puff of smoke at her. "Where are you going?" I'm moving across a giant chess board you see, and.." "I do not see." "Well to put it simply, I'm in a game of chess with the Queens." "Why?" "The red Queen offered to make me a queen if I made it to the eighth rank." He nodded, "my question still remains. Who are you?"/span/p

"Well my statement remains the same. That is no way to start a conversation." At the moment it sounded right but as she said it it just seemed dumb. And because she couldn't think of anything else to say she stormed off. "Wate! Come back! I have something important to tell you." Elisa rolled her eyes and walked back. "Keep your temper." "That's all?" "No." He blew another puff of smoke in her face and this time Elisa coughed. "I believe that the next rank is that way." He pointed his hookah in the direction of the Tulgey wood. Elisa followed his direction./span/p
