Sorry it's been a while but sister has been hogging the laptop trying to book flights for her holiday :( but I've continued writing and this is what I've come up with :) please forgive spelling mistakes and good luck :P
"She's an Eletian princess?"
"No," Ealdaen snapped almost before she'd finished asking the question. "Her tale goes back long before the great war."
"All the way back to when the Arcosian people were just beginning to make huts." Telagioth added in.
"There was two differen immortals that wandered this land. There was the Eletians," Ealdaen took a deep breath, "and the Elves."
"Elves?" The word trickled off Karigan's tongue. It was magnificent. The word was full of wonder and she couldn't believe she'd never heard of them.
"There were many similarities between the two. We were both immortal but as we used magic every day, our armour, our weapons, our houses, the elves were made of magic." Ealdaen explained.
"An obvious difference are their ears." Karigan frowned at Telagioth's words. "Elf ears are pointy." When he pulled back Annora's hair they could see the difference.
"Annora is only half elf. So her ears aren't as pointy." Ealdaen explained.
"So what happened to the elves?"
"There was a war. A war between Eletians and Elves. When the long war started Queen Yulania and King Santanara made an alliance. Our two people were now working together." Ealdaen answered.
"But the peace was not meant to be. Queen Yulania was wounded. So wounded she was about to die." Telagioth continued.
"We brought her to Eletia. What you must understand is that when an elf has a child, half the mother and father's life magic moves into them. The more children they have the less magic they keep." Ealdaen spoke to Karigan like he had been there.
"Queen Yulania had already had one child. Princess Renell, who later became queen. When the queen died her power would flow back into her daughter, but instead of leaving her power to her daughter she gave it to the king. She gave her life magic to King Santanara and because of that the war against Mornhavon was won."
"But the elves blamed us for the death of their queen and once King Santanara retreated into sleep they attacked. The young Queen Renell tried to bring peace to her people but we can't live side by side. So the elves left this place and traveled west and away." Telagioth continued the story.
"But how is Annora their princess?" Karigan questioned.
"The queen and a few others stayed back in Blackveil to keep an eye on Mornhavon. It was decided that the queen stay back because he was killed with her mother's life magic, which meant part of her magic. Their magic flows through everything about them so touching his skin with hers made the pain flare again." Telagioth answered.
"Queen Renell was injured and she fell in love with a black shield and they had a daughter, but the queen died in child birth." Ealdaen looked down sadly.
"Immortals can die from child birth?" Karigan thought that it was strange that they could die from something so common.
"Yes. Annora was given to another elf who kept her safe, but we recently found her dead. If Annora died then the elves will come back in anger for revenge." Telagioth's words sent them into silence.
"Why is it the Eletian's fault that they've died?"
"They blame us for the war." Ealdaen shrugged.
"What is this place?" Karigan tried to lighten the mood.
"It's a safe haven. It was made by the elves." Ealdaen answered.
"You can tell by the way the magic is still as powerful today as it was when made." A voice rang out through the clearing and two men, who could only have been elves, walked in.
They were tall with long hair. Their hair came to their stomachs. One was blonde while the other had brown hair. They wore armor not like Eletians but more human like, but made like nothing Karigan had ever seen. They wore cloaks over their armor and had swords and bows.
Ealdaen glared at the blonde haired elf that had spoken.
"What are you doing here, Drandamir?" Ealdaen demanded.
"We are here to protect our queen." The blonde whose name was Drandamir answered.
"How did you manage to get here?" Ealdaen asked.
"A boat came here. There was seven of us but, but we were the only ones to make out of Blackveil." The brown haired one spoke.
It was impossible to tell their age. It's hard to tell an Eletains age but not impossible. Karigan thought that the brunette could have been younger but she had no idea.
"My name is Drandamir. This is Helmond." The two elves bowed.
"Karigan G'ladeon." Karigan managed to just introduce herself.
"You're Lauralin touched, interesting." The elf named Helmond mused.
"In Blackveil we ran into an Eletian of the name Lhean. We healed him and sent him on his way. He's safe in Eletia. You're not going to succeed, you know that?" Drandamir asked.
"We have to try." Telegioth told him.
"But you are_," Drandamir stopped when he saw Annora move.
She was waking up.
Disclaimer: I own all elves and Annora :)
So, what did you think? Did I explain it well or is everyone confused? Please tell me if there is something you don't get and I'll explain in the next chapter :D sorry if the elves were a bit Lord of the Risngsish but I wondered why Kristin Britain called Eletians Eletians and not elves :P
Please review and I'll continue to update!
