Crystal walked to the wardrobe and pulled out a long, beautiful silver and blue robe. Putting it on, she walked to the closet that held her regular clothes and selected an outfit for the day. She put on the long, snug breeches, the sleeveless black shirt, and a mud-softened pair of boots. Brushing her long blonde hair back from her face, she pulled it back and checked her image in the mirror. Once satisfied, she left her room and walked down two halls before reaching Alaeo's room. She loved Alaeo very deeply, as he loved her.
Knocking once, then opening the door, Crystal walked in to find Alaeo still in bed. Thankfully, this time he was alone. Once, that was not the case, but that time was over.
Alaeo grinned at her.
"Five more minutes!" He pleaded jokingly.
"No. You have to go to school." Crystal said this sternly, but her straight face only lasted two seconds after that. Alaeo cracked up as well.
Once they finally stopped laughing, Alaeo swung out of his bed much like Crystal had, and Crystal saw he was actually fully dressed already in a grey tunic, pants, and boots.
Together, Crystal and Alaeo walked to the weapons room. Crystal located her many items, including swords, daggers, a beautiful bow, and arrows, all from her mother, and a rather peculiar item Crystal had yet to use. It was a delicate silver chain, upon which a dark blue crystal hung from. Silver was twisted throughout the whole thing.
Crystal had just recently found out that she had special...powers. She could do several things most elves couldn't do.
And there was the fact she would probably be the most powerful elf in the past two thousand years.
The two left the weapons room, and went to Crystal's own custom gym. Once they got in, they immediately saw Ralinde, Crystal's other trainer. Her long blonde hair was twisted into a braid like Crystal's, and she was dressed similarly.
They walked towards Ralinde, greeted her, and Crystal had just started to ask what they would be doing when a servant hurried in.
"Crystal, miss?" The servant said hesistantly.
"Yes. What is it?" Crystal said impatiently. She was ready to go today.
"There are some... gothwin outside the gym.... They insist on seeing you!" The maid finished
Crystal frowned. Gothwin, or female warriors, were very rare around here. Unlike the other elves, they lived in societies far up in mountains. They were excellent fighters, and they rarely came down to see other elves. They were also known for being almost impossible to find, even for fellow elves.
Walking outside the gym doors on the other end of the gym, rather than the ones Crystal and Alaeo came through, Crystal saw them. Five women, all dark haired and dark eyed, dressed in the same clothes: leather sleeveless tops, leather shorts, soft boots, and bands of leather around their upper arms. They also had body paint around their eyes and below the bands on their arms.
Holding short spears, round shields, and knives, they were extremely threatening. Crystal could immediately see why so many people were so afraid of them.
Crystal had no clue why they would come to see her, and she puzzled over it when one of the gothwin finally spoke up.
"Hello, Crystal of Mirkwood. I am Halia, of the Misty Mountains." She spoke clearly, but with a slight accent. "We have come to see you because we know that you have great powers." The others nodded. Crystal could suddenly see now that they were afraid, slightly, of her. Of her!
"Yes, I do, I guess. But why would that concern you?" Crystal asked, her voice now curious.
"We are fighting up home." Another spoke now. She introduced herself as Lindelle, of the Lonely Mountain. "Of course, we did great at first, but they sent more sankossi." She spat out the Quenyan word for orcs as though it burnt her tounge.
Yet another talked now. As she said two minutes later, Gilraen, also from the Lonely Mountain. She told Crystal how they needed help, and one as powerful as Crystal could save them all.
Crystal listened to the various speakers as they talked about how they needed her help, and they needed it as soon as she could come.
One, more hesistant that the others, spoke quietly. "You will come, won't you?" The others grew very still.
Crystal considered. She didn't want to. She wasn't fully trained. She didn't want to risk it.
Ralinde, who had just come through the doors, spoke in Crystal's ear.
"Your mother would have wanted it." Crystal started, then nodded.
"I'll come."
A/N: Yay! My little people are back! Yippee!
