Chapter Five
Third Person POV
Aliessa was explaining everything she knew about the Labyrinth to Lily, who was trying to keep up with every word. Her mind started to wonder as Aliessa started to talk about the different races that were found here in the Goblin Realm. She started to think about the Goblin Kings gift.
She kept wondering why he would give her part of her memory back. She came up blank with every idea she came up with.
"Did you hear me?" Aliessa asked, bringing Lily out of her thoughts. Lily looked up at the small pixie and gave an apologetic look. "Sorry. Lost in my own thoughts." she said. Aliessa just rolled her eyes and repeated herself. "Ever since realms have been loosing their magic, the races that live there are forced to move into new realms.
"That's what happened to the pixies. Our realm dried up and vanished. We decided we liked this realm and, with the blessing of the king, we came here." Aliessa told her. Then she started to go into stories told to pixie children about their realm and its magic.
Lily stopped listening to Aliessa when a small crystal ball rolled past her feet and down a dark pathway to her right. It looked like the one the Goblin King had shown her, her curiosity got the better of her and she went after it.
The pathway was completely dark and Lily stopped because she was starting to feel scared. As if sensing her fear, the crystal stopped rolling and started letting off a light glow, lighting only a small portion of the path.
Just as Lily went to step forewords, towards the crystal, it moved again. She soon realized that it only moved if and when she did. She came to the conclusion that it wanted to take her somewhere.
Up in one of the trees, an owl was perched and watched the girl follow the crystal with big, mischievous eyes. When she was far enough from the pixie, the owl flew from its perch and followed her at a distance.
