That was my cue. I quickly got up and started my routine. A leap here, kick there and spin. When I finished my routine, I jump down gliding gracefully onto the stage. Everyone cheered and clapped as I landed. I gave them a curtsy and waved. "Allzeh the cloud dancer! I must speak with you!" Said a voice from the crowd. "Who must speak with me?" I asked. A woman emerged from the crowd, she a green cloak on the hood was up I could not see her face. I put her hood down and I gasped. "I am Nínimel the elven Queen!" The woman shouted. Almost immediately everyone in the square dropped to their knees in a bow, including me. Queen Nínimel laughed, "Stand up! I do not care for such formalities and besides here I do not rule." I stood up and jumped off the stage. "Come, your highness, I have a room rented at a local inn," I said. "Lead the way and Nínimel will do just fine." Queen Nínimel said./p

"Thank you Allzeh," Nínimel said. "Why have you graced me with your presence?" I asked. "Yesterday I received a message from a knight of the water, it said to bring you to my castle and wait until the Knight known as Edlin came to speak with us," Nínimel explained. I nodded. "Let me pack my things and we can leave tonight."/p

I heard a strange noise come from the front of the carriage. I walked up to see what caused it. I saw huge beasts with giant antlers and birch wood colored fur. "Beautiful aren't they?" Nínimel asked. She put her forehead to the forehead of one of the great beasts. She smile and the animal snorted. She backed away. "What are they?" I asked. "Grand Elks. They are the royalty of the forest creatures." Nínimel bowed to the elk she had smiled at and the elk bowed back. She walked climbed inside the carriage and I followed /p

"Whoa! We were in the center of the Wind realm! That's like at least a days journey." I said. "The Grand Elk like to travel fast," Nínimel said with a small smirk. The carriage stopped suddenly. I watched as Nínimel's ears twitched. "Ruffians." She whispered. "Ruffians?" I asked. "Yes, they are outcasts not allowed in any villages or within 3 miles (about 4.8 Kilometers) of the Castle. Usually, they are criminals with more than 5 infractions." Nínimel said. "How can you tell the Ruffians from the Citizens?" I asked. "They have the tips of their ears cut off." She said. I gasped. Elves took a great deal of pride in their ears. It showed that they were greater than the humans and the tips of their ears are extremely sensitive to changes in magic among other things. They were probably the most important thing to an elf. "Guards! I need my dagger!" Nínimel shouted. "Yes, your Highness!" Someone shouted back. Nínimel opened the doors and jumped out gracefully. A guard threw her a purple sheath and from that sheath, she pulled out an elegant looking dagger with a purple hilt. I look out the window of the carriage. A bashed up looking face popped up and I jumped back screaming. The ruffian had a face that looked like mashed squash and where the tips of his ears should be are pieces of cloth. I heard The Queen chanting something I could not make out. The next thing I know a group of pixies is in the face of the ruffian by the window. I hid in the corner of the carriage far away from any window. I heard the sounds of a fight. The clashing of metal on metal. The anguished cries of the wounded. The shouting of commands./p

The carriage door opened and I quickly did a twirl knocking the intruder back with a gust of wind. I heard a feminine grunt and knew I had just attacked Queen Nínimel. I quickly got out of the carriage and saw the guards helping her up. I dropped to my knees and bowed. "I am so sorry! I was not thinking your Highness!" I said in hopes that she might lessen my punishment. I just heard laughing. I sat up to see Queen Nínimel clutching her stomach laughing. I sat there utterly confused. "Do not be sorry! That was probably one of the greatest surprises I ever got from opening that door." She said still laughing. The guards look just as confused. "I don't get many unexpected surprises so that was a nice change." She explained. I started to laugh with her./p
