Royal Jelly

Once in the relem of darkness Neighthan looked around and was surprised as it looked like the world he came from only it was permanatly night time. He made is his way to the Nightshade Forest and stopped out side the entrance "It looks like a maze in there" He didn't see the elf sitting in the tree above him "It is my friend, but I know my way through it" Neighthan looked around "Who said that?" The elf dropped down in front of him "I did, my name is Lucas, what brings you here as I can tell you are not from here" Neighthan looked at him "My name is Neighthan and I came here looking for the shadow bees, my ghoulfriend...er girlfriend Alana is very sick and her dad needs some of thier royal jelly to make the medican for her" Lucas looked at him and realized he was speaking the truth as he allowed a tear to slide down his cheek. Lucas went and pushed the gate open "Come on , I'll take you to the tree, I'm a dark elf, we are one of the friendly races that live here and I know you speak the truth as if the illness it what I think it is, it has claimed many lives already" Neighthan thanks him and follows him into the forest. After what seemed like walking forever they came to the clearing where the huge tree stood. Neighthan walked up to the tree and looked at it "Wow I have never seen a tree this big before" Lucas walked up beside him "The bees take care of it and return it provides a safe place for thier hive" A drone bee flew up to them "What brings you here?" Neighthan then explains everything to the bee and that thier royal jelly is needed to help made a medican. The drone bee flies over and opens the tree "Please follow me, I will take you to our queen as she is in charge of the royal jelly" They follow the drone bee through the hive and into the queen bee's chambers. The drone flies up to the queen "Pardon the intrusion your highness but Lucas brings a friend who is seeking your help" The queen grants Neighthan an auidence with her. Neighthan walks up and gives her a proper greeting in which she returns showing she accepted it. "Tell me young one why do you seek my help?" Neighthan looks up at her "My girlfriend back home is very sick and we need your royal jelly to made the medican for her, if we don't give her the medican then she'll die" And after he said that he broke down in tears and Lucas comforted him. The queen got off her throne and went to Neighthan and patted his back "There there young one, nothing is going to happen to your girlfriend, you and Lucas here have been the first ones to seek our help by asking rather then bursting in here and trying to steal it" she turns to the drone "Go and fetch this young one some jars of royal jelly" the done nods and zips off into a room next to the throne room. The drone comes back carrying box and he presents it to Neighthan "Here's the royal jelly you seek, we usually only give one jar, but you are a special case and we're giving you a box full to make sure you have enough and don't worry about breaking the jars, they are enchanted not to break" Neighthan wipes his tears away and takes the box "Thank you so much" The queen tells him he's very welcome and warns him to be careful that there are others who favor royal jelly and will attack him for the box. Lucas says he'll escort him back and keep them away and with that they leave. Once outside of Nightshade Forest, Lucas guides Neighthan back to where the portal is but on they way the had some trouble as some kind of imps attacked trying to get the jelly but Neighthan refused to give it up and got scratched in the face and he told Lucas not to worry about it as he could heal it and with that he thanked him and ran through the portal back to my dad.
