Volume 2 Chapter 5 (2/2)
“Cohen Kheda!”
“Liar! Kohen Kheda has black eyes!”
I didn’t have a choice and removed my lenses
To my surprise, what elf's place looked like was far different than what Winslet has shown me
The elves built their shelters as tree houses interlocked by vines They stood harmoniously without toopersonality I guessed
Winslet certainly looked joyful She talked a lot on the way
“There’s e tree house, “Mom’s at home”
“This?” I asked, “It's so er than the others”
“That’s where the elders usually meet with mom”
“Meet with your et her, “You mom is one of the elder elves?”
“No!” Winslet said with a smile, “She… is… the… queen!”
“Queen!? Then, Winslet, you are… a princess?”
“Can’t I?” Winslet floated into the air, “Don’t I look like a princess?”
“En… headache…” To think that an elf princess has been playing with me for years and I've been unaware of, it was like a slap in the face “Then Manta and Dimmock…”
“Manta is the son of the Dwarf king! Steven, he’s also the son of the winged-man leader”
“What… gosh… they’ve kept h she fleay
“Ouch!” When I finally caught her, I fell into a door
“Moot away and flew beside the Elf Queen
“Here you are, Cohen” Madam Elf looked beautiful as ever She offered her hands, “Are you hurt? Let me see”
“En, don’t bother I’ her hand I was still a teenager thoughtouched on the head by a gracious adult elf was sohness”
“Huhhe” She chuckled, “You’ve grown up, Cohen”
I smirked
“Winslet, on your ith Cohen, dinner is ready” The Elf Queen said, “I have another ht”
Then I spent dinner flirting with Winslet
“You stopped at Lvl3?” After a thorough examination, Winslet’s mother asked, “How do you feel?”
“Indeed, I had no proble any spells under Lvl3” I recalled, “Then becauseabove that”
“Are you having trouble doing Lvl3?”
“Not at all!” I shrugged, “I could make several fireballs”
“I see” Madam Elf fawned, “Give me some days”
“OK!” I said, “Take your time”
Her Majesty left, then I exited the treehouse It hurt not having a light walk after dinner
“Where are you going?” Winslet appeared, “Care to see my friends?”
“Sure!” I was free anyways
Winslet took une with a proud look
“Isn’t the lake you stayed when you were young?” I asked
“More to that!” Winslet hurried and said, “One moment!”
I laid cozily on the grass and looked at the starry sky, “You are waiting?”
“Here they are, look!”
In the starry surass Everywhere were filled with tiny lights
“Shh” Winslet put one finger on her lips, her eyes lit up and slowly moved to my side, “Don’t scare them out”
I can’t deny that such vieas indeed beautiful, but what’s hted no sign of blue but joy and happiness
“Re of my name?” Winslet whispered
“I do” I said, “It’s those flying things”
“Stop that It's firefly! They are my friends”
“I know that”
“What do you know, black eye?”
“I know,” I said, “Fireflies are you friends, the lake is your friend, the stars, the ht, and the breeze are your friends”
Stunned by her look, suddenly I discovered, she was beautiful
“I have a song, do you want to sing it with me?”
“What is it?”
“Dark sky dawned, starry night falls,
Fireflies, Fireflies, where’s your memory?
Where the star tears, rose grows,
Cold breeze, cooling breeze, where is my love?
Fireflies, flower dreams, two makes one
Darkness breaks hearts
No what,nowhere…”
Winslet whispered her song and head on my shoulder, dreamed away
