The Return of Avizandum

Silverglove

After a returning Zym back to the Dragon Queen, everyone returned to their kingdoms, all but three.

Rayla decided to show Ezran her home, Sliverglove. "We're here!" Rayla shouted.

"Umm, where?" Ezran asked, looking around. There was only a clearing, trees, flowers, and grass.

"Haha," Callum chuckled. "It's hidden by an illusion. In order to see through it, we need to do a dance."

"Callum's right. Come on, it's easy! Even Callum can do it!" Rayla grabbed Ezran's wrist.

"Uhh, thank you?" Callum asked before following them.

"Here, just follow me," Rayla said as she began to dance. Ezran tried to copy her and Callum tried his best to not make a fool of imself in front of Ezran. As they moved, the tree trunk below them glowed with white runes. Then they held their hands together.

Then suddenly, there were buildings appearing in the clearing. Then Rayla broke free and ran up to the end of the trunk, "This is it. The Sliverglove!"

"Wow," Ezran said.

"Yep! Isn't it amazing?" Rayla asked.

"Um. Rayla?" Callum whispered-asked.

"Yeah?"

"Er. Do you think you're still a ghost?"

Rayla's excited expression fell.

"A what?" Ezran asked.

"A ghost," Rayla said grimly. "It's what happens to the banished Moonshadow elves."

"But... Maybe Ethari will welcome you! I mean he knows you didn't run away!" Callum said brightly.

"Yeah. Yeah! Come on! Let's go to him!" Rayla grabbed both boys' wrists and sprinted up the stairs to where Ethari's workshop was.

At the door, Rayla hesitated. "Are you going to open the door?" Callum asked gently.

"I don't know. What if I get rejected again?" Rayla asked.

"Come on Rayla! You're fearless and a good elf! If they reject you, you still have us!" Ezran said. Callum nodded. "Ez's right. We'll go in together."

"Thanks, guys." Rayla smiled.

They opened the door and there stood Ethari with his back turned. The doors made a swishing sound. Ethari looked back when his doors opened and nearly dropped the sword in his hands.

"Rayla?" he asked.

"Ethari!" Rayla ran and hugged him.

Aww... Rayla must be happy when Ethari believed in her! :)
