Magic is not everything

CHAPTER 27

The author recounts

A long time ago...

The garden was decorated with  garlands, colorful globes, mistletoe and lights. Wooden tables were full of fried fish characteristic of Mississippi waters, apple cider, wines in glazed glass cups, plates were full of fruit, frosted donuts, roast chicken, muffins, gingerbread , vegetables, mashed potatoes with sauce, apple pies, berries pies, pumpkin pies and so on that Henrietta Burke could not remember all. Although was winter, the spell that surrounded the cabin bring spring in this place.

She sits on a table decorated just like the oders, the Christmas Party was beautiful, gourgeous if she can say, but she not come here to enjoy the party, she had another business to solve and here was the only person could help her. Eric  Williamns. The only problem is this situation was that Eric behave like a whirligig  he don't seat for a second,  he walks through guests make new friends, make sure everything was perfect and everybody was happy, included Esmelarda,  the Queen of Dwarfs and his sons Hamish and Robbie. The Queen wear a  green dress who had attached to her all kinds of toys made of gold such as carousels, dolls or teddy bears all with diamonds and had a red bow at the waist. The queen's crown was inlaid with emeralds that shone in the light of her blond hair. Her imagine remind Henrietta of a christmas tree. Beside her was Robbie,  her the little son, he was wear  his soldier's uniform, white trousers, polished black boots and a light blue jacket with gold medals gleaming and his blond hair was washed and arranged, it was basically a reflection of his mother's image Hamish...Hamish was a pig, a hairy pig.

Henrietta was thinking of really turning him into a pig, and she would have been fine, plus that was her favorite spell, but she don't have time for this. She drinks just a little for the red wine (she don't find water and she was thirsty). Maybe Henrietta  will follow him hope she caught him alone,  she want to discuss with him and she know that the moment is not propriette, but she not had no choice, she raise from her seat, she must speak with Eric and now, she could don't wait any more. 

She walks in his direction when she hit of  someone or he of her and her grey eyes meet a pair of bright emerald green eyes.

His eyes are beautiful, she thought.

Then she looks to the man, he was more tall than her, his red hair was long and curly and tied to the back, tall cheekbones, tanned skin, barely grown red beard, a smile that revealed white teeth, his gala suit showed strong muscles. He was an Adonis in every way.

Green eyes and red hair. Good combination, Henrietta thought.

Henrietta decided to be nice  just this time.

'' I am sorry if I hit you, I was not paying attention.''

To her surprise the man smiles more.

'' Nothing to apologize, really.'' Then he took her hand and kissed her gently. Henrietta was too tired to react on time, she thought he would let her hand, but he didn't. '' You think you could explain me why a beautiful lady like you is alone?''

Beautiful lady, Henrietta refrained to roll her eyes.
She not consider her a beautiful lady, with her grey eyes, dark and long hair and her white skin ( because sun never been her friend) her imagine was associette more with a vampire or a ghost, not a beautiful lady, plus she was very busy to consser about how beautiful she will be in this party Christmas, The Queen Dwarfs worked harder that she did. On the invitations not write nothing about dress code so she chance in a black ( black was her favourite colour) slik drees and so on.

She ignors her interlocultor and look after Eric who speaks with Robbie McLaur about the iron of the dwarves both take over fascinated by the subject and how they can strengthen the resistance of the metal through the magic of wizards. If Henrietta would know about how the discussion with the wizard will take place she would have thought to come earlier, but her children needs her, in the Loris school will come the finals exams for students and she would make sure that her students will be prepared and proud for their results, she stood with them over the schedule  the children proved to be serious and devoted to their purpose, and that made her happy, more happy than be at this stupid party.
