My mother held tightly on to me as we were being teleported to Tirion castle. The time of the teleportation was not even a single minute, but it felt like it was five minutes. My sister was really enjoying the teleportation, while Echo and Aria where laughing at our reactions especially the one of my mother.
“We are almost there Sophie you don’t need to hold so tight onto your kid it won’t help.” She chuckled when my mother almost dropped me while trying to let me be able to breath.
“S-Sorry”
“You don’t need to apologize, she just said that so Orvar won’t die because of you, mom” My sister mixed with the argument.
“H-“ Our mother was cut off by the end of the teleportation.
“There they are it took them sure a long time.” A female voice said from behind the curtain of purple light.
“Mom!” Echo said while taking Arora through the light to the other side.
“You want me to take you too or can you walk yourself?” Aria asked my mother.
“I-I think I can do it myself.” She answered nervously.
Aria waited for my mother to walk off the teleportation circle. When my mother finally found the courage to walk off the teleportation circle. Aria gave her a little push to tease her. She didn’t had a choice but to walk, she walked through the circle and found herself in a room with many guard’s located. In the middle of the all the guard are standing two people a male and a female.
“It’s good to see you your highness.” My mother said with a small bow.
“we told you, you don’t need to bow for us. We are friends just like our daughters. In my opinion our friendship is really important because, everyone knows the relationships with the races isn’t going well and every day a war could break out.” The man before us told her. He was very slim but tall he is the tallest person in the room. His hair was light brown almost blond while his eyes where a piercing yellow.
“You don’t need to say that every time you see Sophie!” The woman said to her husband with a clear voice before turning to my mother. “I am sorry about Eric. Sophie you also know you don’t need to call us your highness.” She said to my mother with a very calm and warm voice.
‘What is going on? My mother is still nervous about the teleportation and the two elf’s where almost fighting each other about nothing.’ I thought while I couldn’t understand the situation.
The women with her long red hair who had her hair in one single big braid. Began to talk again. “Come in I think Aria asked you to come for dinner?”
While I looked around the room to find my sister and Echo, I couldn’t see any of them neither Aria was still here. ‘Where did they go?’
“Follow me I will take you to the dining room.” The man named Eric signed us to follow him while walking away.
As we were following him to the place we would be eating, I looked around the castle. The castle was huge, we were only walking for one minute and I already saw more than a hundred guard who were guarding doors and hallways. My mother was talking with the man and the women, I could feel the purple eyes of the women almost piercing through my head. After some time we walked through a big door, behind the door was a table in the full length of the room. Echo and Arora where already here with Aria.
“It took you long enough to come here mom.” Arora said to my mother when we walked in the giant room.
“Take a seat, Sophie you have walked enough today.” The woman said to my mother while pulling a seat back so she could sit.
Every one talked while we were waiting, until the woman stood up and walked away.
“What is Violet going to do?” Aria asked to Eric
“I think she is going to get Evelyn but that is just a guess I don’t know for sure like you I could also be wrong. So she also could be doing something else.”
“Eric.” Aria said trying multiple times to cut him off.
“Yes, What is it mother? Is there a problem?”
“You talk too much you really need to talk a lot less then you are doing now, It can be really annoying.”
“Sorry.”

My mother set me down on the ground so I could crawl around and do my own thing.
“Arora can you be careful for your little brother please. So look where you walk and where you play and no magic in here okay? You can use magic again when we are back home.” My mother warned Arora.
“I will watch out for him while I’m playing and I know I’m not allowed to use any magic anywhere else then at home.”
My mother continued to talk and my sister continued to play with Echo. I was looking for something to do, I was looking for a bookcase with an interesting book about the royal family of the elf’s. After I looked around I found a bookcase with books in it. It cost me some time to find the book I wanted, but that wasn’t the hardest part. The hardest part was getting the book from the shelf.
I tried my best to grab the book but I couldn’t reach it, I tried to get Arora her attention so she could get the book for me but she didn’t even notice me. I was on the point of making sound to catch attention from an adult when a little girl walked passed me.
It was a smaller copy of Echo the same golden hair and also the purple eyes. She looked like she was a year older than me.
I looked at her confused not knowing where she came from but when I looked at the adults I saw that everyone was looking in our direction. My mother was enjoying the sight of me being confused while Eric and Violet where proud of the sight that there youngest child is walking.
I couldn’t let this opportunity lie and don’t do anything about it. So I signed to my mother that I wanted to get a book but couldn’t reach it. She didn’t help me, she didn’t even move the only thing she did was smile.
Trying to hold my annoyance inside myself I turned around. Before I was fully turned around someone grabbed me from behind. Not knowing who it was I tried to hit the person that was holding me.
“Orvar aren’t you happy to see your father?” He plead carrying me so I could grab the book.
‘If you grab me from behind out of nowhere I am not happy but you made it up with helping me get the book.’ I answered him in my mind.
He put me back down.
“If you need me or anything you can just call me okay Orvar?”
“Matthew! He still can’t talk try to remember that okay? He is only four months.”
“Yea sorry I forgot, honey.” He answered her.
After the discussion of my parents about the fact that I could answer their questions, I crawled to a quiet corner to read the book about the royal family of the elf’s.
The elf’s have a kingdom with Tirion as there capital city. There kingdom is called Lórien the queens and kings who are relevant are Aria Elsheir she was the 36th queen of Lórien and now Eric and Violet Elsheir they are the 37th king and queen from Lórien. Eric and Violet Elsheir have two children the first and oldest one is, Echo Elsheir that is the girl where Arora is playing with and they also know each other. And their second child is Evelyn Elsheir that is the little girl who walked passed me at the bookcase.
Talking about the devil Evelyn Elsheir is sitting next to me reading the book with me, she sits on her knees trying to hold her blue with pink dress clean.
‘Isn’t she one? She can’t read yet why is she reading with me?’ Then I realized. ‘I’m not even one year old and I’m reading this book so I shouldn’t talk.’
I looked around trying to see what the adults think about this but they are just watching us in awe.
When I looked back I saw that Evelyn was staring at me and at that moment I understood there awe. She really looked cute when she looked at my face especially her tiny red almost pink cheeks.
I couldn’t ruin this moment not for my parent or Her’s, how bad I even wanted to.
But then my sister came to us.
I thought. ‘Don’t come here do not ruin this moment-‘ I stopped thinking.
I felt a hand on my forehead. Evelyn was patting me I couldn’t lie but this is really cute. Both our parents where in even more awe when they saw her patting me. I didn’t notice my sister coming to us anymore, not until she began to talk.
“Ahw. They are so cute like this. Look at her little hand patting Orvar’s little forehead. Everything is just so cute and small!”
“Arora. Are you coming to sit at the table we are going to eat soon.” Our mother called out at her.
“And those two then?”
“I don’t want to ruin this moment neither do you I think.”
“That’s true.” Arora answered in disbelief.
A moment later both me and Evelyn were taken to the dining table to eat diner.
While eating dinner our parents where just talking about how they have been and what they have been doing in the last few years. Arora and Echo where also talking with each other while they where eating. My mother was feeding me while Evelyn was staring into my soul.
She kept staring and didn’t stop. I tried to make it obvious that she was staring at me, but no one seemed to notice it. All my attempts failed I tried to be able to let my mother see her staring I even tried staring back but nothing worked. She just kept staring.
“Orvar your last bite of food left on your plate. So open your mouth.” My mother said to me with a soft voice while feeding me my last bite.
I ate the last bit that was left on my plate.
“Good job your plate is empty you have done great!” She said proud while giving me a kiss on my forehead.
My mother turned to Eric and Violet.
“Can Orvar sleep somewhere in the mean time while we are eating? He had a long day”
“Of course he can sleep, he can sleep in Evelyn her room if you want, her room is the closest by.” Violet answered before her husband did, so she could avoid the long answer.
“Thank you I think he will be happy with it as well.” She looked at me before lifting me up to take me to Evelyn’s bedroom to let me sleep.
“I will guide you there.” Aria said while standing up.
My mother followed Aria while carrying me. Behind us my father also came our way to take me to bed.
“We are almost there.” Aria said while looking back to see if my parents where still following her.
We reached the door of the room where I was supposed to sleep in.
“I will leave you three be for now.” Aria walked away after we entered the bedroom.
My parents did the usual thing before I always go to bed, like changing my clothes and washing me. After that they put me into bed and left the room.
I took a small book from under the bed. I hid it there before they changed my clothes. The book was about many different ways to gather mana to lose your shells.
‘This will be important for me if I want a mind core at a fast rate.’
After some time I fell asleep not expecting what will happen the next morning.
