ON WITH THE STORY!!!

***********************************************************************
He brought her to a pair of large, oak doors. He motioned for her to go in and said, "I'll wait here."

Dasani nodded and walked through the doors, and into her past, present, and future . . .

. . . . Inside the hall was a gathering of elves. There were about ten, both male and female elves standing near a long table. At the head of a table sat an elf so ancient, he looked unreal (For an elf that is) Dasani spotted Arlen gesturing for her to come forward and she walked to her cousin's side.

The Eldar Elf was sitting in that chair at the head of the counsel table in the Eldinavien. He was watching his many-times great-granddaughter walk towards him. As she observed her surroundings he observed her. He saw in her a spirit such that the race of Elves had never seen. She would bring many unexpected things to his people. He also saw her pale green eyes, that marked her for what she was. The pale green was a color seen only by few, in all time. He noted the way she took in her surroundings with wonderment, but also recognition. She was remembering the short time she had spent there. The ancient elf recognized that she was beginning to look more like her people. When her mother had left his halls, the Eldar had been less than pleased, but none were able to stay angry with Faye long enough for anything to come of it. So, when she had returned to the halls with the small child, he had been overjoyed; children were becoming few in the lands of Elves. Their lands had been waning in the last few hundred years. Cian remembered that when he had first seen the child he had not seen anything special about her. They had all assumed she would be just another half-elf. When one of his scholars had brought to his attention the fact that Kaemon Bradford had Elven-blood in his veins, he had not believed it. Not until that day when the small child had opened her eyes, the eyes that had been the brightest blue ever seen on any Elven child, and they changed from blue to pale green. They knew then, what she was and would become. They had sent her away from the realm of elves, to be raised by those who knew nothing about her; and now she returned.

Dasani was indeed taking in her surroundings. She noticed how those present looked upon her with a feeling of hope, and of care. She looked around until she met the eyes of the Elf in the chair.

The Eldar Elf stood then, and looked at her fondly. "Well met Dasani, well met Thaeluine. I am Cian, the Eldar Elf. You have heard from Arlen about our prophecy. I do believe he may have exaggerated the situation. He has a habit of doing that when it comes to you."

Dasani looked down at the old elf. (Yes down, she's taller than him)

"I believe you would like to get accustomed to the Haven. I am sure that Arlen wishes to . . .shall we say, reacquaint you with a few people." Cian said. He gestured for them to go.

Dasani allowed herself to be led out of the room by Arlen. He led them back to the room where she had slept.

"This is your room Dasani. Your friends rooms are across the hall." Arlen said.

"Do I HAVE to wear this dress???" Dasani complained.

"Nai. There are other clothes in there" Arlen replied. He pointed to a wooden cabinet similar to a wardrobe. "I will wait for you outside in the hall."

Dasani quickly changed into a sleeveless green tunic-like garment and brown breeches. (A/N: Stop laughing or scoffing please Alf -_-0) She belted then and set down Elven, but then thought better and picked it back up. All in all, she looked as if she would be putting on armor and going into battle, what with her wrist-cuff and longbow. She walked outside and Arlen smiled when he saw her.

"Come," He said, still smiling, "I shall show you your horse."

Dasani was led to a field where many horses grazed. She saw the ones they had ridden last night. Standing side-by-side were the black and white ones, and next to them were her friends. Dasani grinned and strode over. She saw that Lily was outfitted similar to she was, though the clothes seemed a little large, and that the four boys all wore outfits similar to that of Arlen. Dasani tried not to laugh at the frown on Anthony's face. All the boys were wearing long, tan-colored pants . . . . . and shoes of course.

"Dasani!" Lily exclaimed. "We've been waiting for you to show up."

"Do you think there's any way you could get them to give me a SHIRT!?!?!?!" Anthony asked annoyed.

"Why ever would you want one of those Anthony???" Dasani said grinning.

Anthony scowled at her.

"Dasani, this is Lunar Shadow. He is your horse." Arlen said, patting the huge black horse on the flank.

Dasani looked wide-eyed from the horse to Arlen.

"You expect her to ride . . . THAT???" James asked incredulously.

"He would not willingly let anyone else ride him alone." Arlen replied, "I myself was not pleased when I found out. However, there is no surer mount."

Dasani grinned and went up to Shadow. She wrapped her fingers in his mane and pulled herself onto his back. "Want to go for a ride Alf?" Dasani asked Anthony.

"There's no way in hell that I'm riding that thing again!." Anthony said matter-of-factly.

Dasani laughed. In the meantime the white pony had come up to Lily and started nuzzling her hand.

Arlen turned to her, "That is Solar Flare. He is yours."

Lily squealed with delight and beamed.

"Dasani, we must move on, there is much to show you." Arlen said.

Lily, James and Remus decided to stay in the field, but Anthony came with Dasani and Arlen.

"I could be doing worse things; besides, I have nothing better to do." He said.

Dasani raised her eyebrows at him and he scowled back.

"Shaddap!"

***********

Arlen led the two to a large room in the haven. Inside it looked like a library.

"This is where Riardan spends most of his time. He keeps records and such."

"My dear Arlen! I do not keep 'records'! I keep history! I even have a picture of your parents young Thaeluine." An elf with an air of wisdom said, coming our from behind a pile of books. He rummaged through some piles and soon came over with a dusty scroll. He opened it carefully and almost lovingly, as dust fell off. They found themselves staring at a sketch of woman. She looked similar to Dasani, but with a greater, unnatural beauty. Just looking at the picture, you could imagine that you would only want to do good to her.

"She was revered, your mother." Riardan said wistfully, as if he was remembering the days when she used to come and seek knowledge, or advice.

Dasani looked at the picture oddly. "Who drew it?"

Riardan looked surprised at the question. "Don't you remember? You drew it."

Dasani's head spun as she pitched forward. Anthony was at next to her and help her arm so she would not fall.

"Dasani?" He asked, concerned.

Dasani smiled at him, "I'm fine." She turned to the elf-scholar. "But how could I have done it? I- . . . . I'm not- . . . ."

Arlen shook his head quickly. "You are no older than you think you are. A few years ago you drew this, and then left it. I brought it here; I did not mean for you to find out" He almost glared at Riardan.

"Well, I am sure you have to be off, and I have much research to be done." Riardan said, pushing them out the door, which closed rather abruptly behind them.

"Well he was NICE." Anthony said.

"Do not mind him, he means well." Arlen said.

***********************************************

A week later the friends had settled into life at the haven rather nicely. They had gotten used to the differences. They were being taught the ways and customs of the elves at the haven. Dasani and her friends were most surprised to find out that the Haven or Eldinavien was not the only central place of elves. So, naturally, they were even more surprised when they met in the hall one morning and Arlen announced that they were going to travel to another corner of the Elf Realm. Arlen had already packed their bags, which were sitting on a table when they entered the Hall.

"We are going to travel to Dureth, the forest kingdom. We have been invited. We leave immediately." Arlen announced. He handed them each a heavy travel cloak. Grey to Remus, James, Anthony, and Sirius; white to Lily; and a very long black one to Dasani. Dasani put hers on and pulled up the hood.

"What is this so we are not recognized?" She joked.

"Hai." Arlen replied.

Dasani let the hood fall in astonishment and the others got their own surprise. Standing before them, where Dasani had stood seconds before, was the exact likeness of Dasani's mother. She had midnight black hair, with blue-grey eyes. Her face was every bit as serenely beautiful as in the picture her daughter had drawn. Around her head was a circlet of silver.

Arlen stared in awe.

The figure looked puzzled for a minute and then caught sight of her reflection in a pool of water that stood nearby.

"Bloody hell!" The figure said in a musical voice.

"Dasani? Is that you?" Lily asked.

"I THINK so . . . ." The voice replied. "Arlen what kind of magic is this?"

"I do not know." Arlen whispered.

The woman pulled her hood up and took it down again. Now in front of them stood Dasani, but she had a more elf-like appearance. Her ears were pointed and the clothes that had been bland a few minutes ago looked as if they had been made by magic, which between you and me is rather possible. Her eyes sparkled with the light that was always there but not usually visible and a circlet of gold sat on her forehead.

Arlen smiled faintly and bowed, "Thaeluine, Ithaeluthe thu."
[Tall One I salute you]

Dasani grimaced and said, "I think it makes me look as whoever I'm thinking of. Hold on." Dasani smirked as she pulled up her hood once more and let it drop.

As her hood dropped, so did Anthony's mouth. Lily, James, Sirius and Remus started laughing. Standing where Dasani had been was . . . . . Anthony???

Dasani laughed and pulled the hood up and down once more. She looked as a typical elf women. "So we- . . . . I must go disguised?"

Arlen nodded as he said, "Yes, it must be so, fro those of the forest kingdom do not take kindly to those of the Haven, even ones such as you. It is good that you have discovered this secret. It will make travel much easier."
Dasani nodded and they set off.

They were traveling as they had to the Haven, on horseback. This time though, Remus had his own mount, but Anthony refused to ride one. Therefore he found himself on Shadow with Dasani, a trifle that amused Dasani to no end.

"I swear Dasani, if you make this thing . . . . . buck me off or something!" Anthony threatened.

Dasani just grinned and replied, "Shadow would not do that. At least not when he's only trotting."

The group found themselves leaving the somewhat mild land that surrounds the Haven and entering a very large forest. They periodically felt that they were being watched, but there was no attempt made to stop them. They saw signs of life every one and a while, but no actual animals or elves. They stopped once to eat, but continued right after that. Soon after Arlen told them quietly that they were entering the boundary of Dureth they were surrounded by armor-clad warriors. They found themselves at spear point and bow-point.

One stepped forward and demanded in Elvish, "What right do you claim to have to be trespassing in these lands?"

Arlen answered at once, "We have done no harm. What right do you have to persecute us so?"

The elf scowled and surveyed the group, "I see five MORTALS, one proud, arrogant child and a wench, who is most likely even more arrogant as her consort. Do you dare defy me?" He snarled at them, suddenly he took a look at Dasani's horse. "A wench riding a warhorse none the less! I shall bring you to the lord, he shall reward me greatly for finding him a mount such as this! Seize their weapons!"

The other warriors came forward before the group could respond and took all their visible weapons. They obviously did not see Elvin for what it was and did not see Dasani's cuff, for there was no mention of it. They neglected, however, to confiscate the teens' wands, which they quickly discovered when they sent curses flying at their captors. The elves' leader soon realized what was happening and had the wands taken away by those that had not been cursed.

"Ugh! Worse than just MORTALS!! Mortals who think they know magic!" He said.

Dasani decided she would rather wait until she was in front of his lord to show this . . . . disgrace of an elf who she was. The elves that had captured them led them through the forest until the teens were all sure they would not be able to find their way in it if their lives depended on it, which may well be the case. Finally a large grove of the tallest trees they had ever seen came into view. It looked as if the trees formed a circular barrier for something, and as they got closer, they saw that this was indeed the case. They were admitted between two of the immense trees by a guard of about fifteen and made their way into the stronghold of Dureth. They were led to the central building which was obviously where the 'lord' that they were going to meet was. They were pushed inside and the leader of the group of elves brought Shadow in as well.The black stallion hardly fit through the door and had a rather nasty disposition that he had caught off of Dasani in the time that had elapsed from the time they had been captured. The six companions found themselves rudely pushed in from of a throne-like chair that sat by itself except for a smaller one a few steps to the side. In the throne sat a noble-looking elf. He had pale brown hair and noble brown eyes. In the chair to the right sat an elf woman with similar features, but with wistful blue eyes.

The leader of the band of elves addressed the elf in the throne. "Lord Anierin, I have found these trespassers in our lands, they had this steed. It is obviously stolen."

The one called Anierin scowled at the leader, "Did they trouble you? Did you bother to ask who they are? You come in here bringing mortals and two elves, one shrouded as though hiding knowing not who they are and what their purposes are?"

"I- but I thought . . . ."

"You obviously did no such thing!" Anierin turned to his captives and adressed Dasani, who had her hood over her face, "Who are you to go shrouded in the presence of a lord?"

Dasani pulled off her hood and looked like her mother. "Who do you think I am?"

Anierin looked at her dumbfounded and the women, obviously his wife, sprang up, "Faye?!"

Dasani shook her head and said, "I am not Faye. I am her daughter."

The elf woman nodded, "You are. I welcome you to my home, you and your companions. My name is Aranrhod and this is my husband, Anierin. Who are you and your companions?"

"I am Dasani and this is my cousin Arlen. This is Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, and Lily. That, " Dasani continued, pointing towards Shadow, "Is my horse, Shadow."

Dasani had said nothing about she being the one prophesised about, and she was not planning to. Arlen had cautioned them not to say any more than was necessary, which was why Dasani was still disguised as Faye.

The woman nodded. "Give them back their weapons!" She commanded the band of elves.

They reluctantly obeyed, but as Dasani was being handed back Elvin an ancient elf that was even older than Cian walked in.

"Stop!" He said, "They are not what they appear!" . . . .
