Onward

Elf brothers, a strange new world

What happened to Emma? Let's find out in her Point of View.

I opened up my eyes and lifted my head for a moment.  I didn't know what had happened or why this magic spell did. I remembered getting these presents for my 19th birthday and this magic staff. And when the gem on the wand glowed, I got teleported here. I lifted up and looked around for my new surroundings. I was in a closet. A rustle behind a pile of clothes caught my attention. A pair of legs and kanky pants and dress shoes kicked out. The legs reveal to have no upper half. For a moment, I heard someone. The legs slowly came out of the closet, slowly. I then crawled carefully before I poked my head to the room. Two elves were staring at me. Each of them are blue with dark bluish hair with pointed ears with a pinkish tip. Both of them had clothes. Modern day clothes just like what I wore.

The elves watched, horrified as the legs walked around the room. I didn't even move. I was too scared. The youngest elf keeled down and reached out and ram his hand to the area of the missing torso. One of the legs began tapping around as if he was trying to feel. The elves watched me as I climbed out of the clothing and looked at them. They were scared at me for a moment and the boy looked at me for a moment.

IAN: Hello?

I gasped. The boy can speak English just like me.

BARLEY: It's really him.

The boys watched amazed and then the legs ran into a wall interrupting the moment of wonder, and he stopped and he searched with his foot again clearly confused. He was lost. He was trying to feel himself around with his foot. And for humans, like me, they have never seen a real human being.

BARLEY: DAD! You are in your house!

For a moment, I bumped into a dresser and a bunch of books fell on top of me, knocking me down.

IAN: Whoa, whoa!

BARLEY: Oh boy!

The boys raced over and helped me stand again, but I scrambled away from them.

IAN: Ah, he can't hear us, and this human is scared of us.

The elf walked over to the legs and slowly began to tap on his foot. The youngest elf watched curiously.

IAN: What are you doing?

The oldest hummed the first five beats. The legs leapt back. It tapped the final two notes of the song and touched his feet with his foot. My hands shake a little until I gently tap my fingers. I felt my hands touch the eldest elf's hand.

BARLEY: That's right. It's me, Barley.

EMMA: Uh...

I looked at the youngest elf and gave his foot a tap. My fingertips slowly touched his. The legs follow.

BARLEY: Yeah, that's Ian.

IAN: Hi... Dad.

EMMA: He...Hello. I'm..Emma.

IAN: Emma...

My eyes begin to glitter. He put his hand on dad's foot, wishing he could give him a hug.

IAN: Oh... I messed this whole thing up and brought a human being here. Now he's gonna be legs forever!

Barley looked at the spell.

BARLEY: Well, not... forever. The spell only lasts one day. At sunset tomorrow, he'll disappear and we'll never be able to bring him back again.

He showed Ian and me two illustrations. The first is a man standing by the sun and the second, the sun setting and the man vanishing.
