Book 5: Chapter 10
The horses slowly made their way across the lush green plains and up-heaved a bit of the soil when it trod through the fields. There was smoke coming from within the forests in the distance.
“Have a rest here for now. We’ll arrive at Galle Village tonight.”
I dismounted and let go of the reins. The horse neighed like it was stretching out and then paced over to an open spot to lazily curl up on the grass.
Freya carefully helped Luna dismount.
Luna looked at the fire in the distance with excitement. She jogged over to the edge of the soil, opened her arms wide, and spun around with a smile. She held my hand, excitedly pointing at the smoke in the distance.
“Your Highness, that is my village. Look at the smoke over there. That is the gathering spot, and over there is the lake. Can you see that bright line? If you continue forward from there you will reach our temple. I can almost see the gold roof over there!” she exclaimed.
I smiled and followed the directions she pointed in. In my sight, I caught the large land and forests extending into the distance. Next to the lake was a green lawn that was augmented by the colours, which made it look as beautiful as a luxurious single-colour carpet. That must have been the temple Luna lived in.
Freya walked up to us and narrowed her eyes to take a look. She then sighed hopelessly and said, “Why can’t I see anything? I just see a sea of flowers.”
“That’s because we are elves.”
