Eyeing the mountain as she waits for the suns to rise there is a beautiful mix of pinks and oranges that make her wonder why she couldn't just pause this moment. Today is a day that she only saw in her dreams where birds sing their mesmerizing songs of dawn. While, small animals run around as if to be playing a game of tag. From the south she could now see all three suns peeking above the mountains from the south.

The elven army is drawing near. She could feel the vibrations of their battle drums as if they were coming from the core of their world. The Higher ups knew the cost of this was going to be large yet they still sent them. Sent 2,000 fae to draw their swords for a battle they were destined to lose.

I need to figure out how I can end this madness, Echo panics in her own mind , I must know something that can possibly help my people. I am done watching my friends die in vain. Done, watching them die for a cause that we do not understand or even know. All we know is if we do not obey them. We are threatened with much worse than our own deaths.

That's when I saw them. The elven army. Flags of gold and green slowly moved closer from the horizon that once looked so calm and gentle. But now that horizon brought death and suffering. I can't just stand her and do nothing. I need to use that spell no matter the cost it will ultimately bring me.

She raises her hands above her head and slowly begins to whisper the incantation she had learned in case of anything dangerous were to happen. She had to find someone to help them. Even though she can not be the one to choose the person meant to help, she knew the spell would choose someone who, in the end, would put her people first and help her change the fate of this world.
