In a kingdom far away, the Crystal Elves lived among the rarest elves in history. They resided in a secluded region surrounded by towering mountains, shielding them from the prying eyes of outsiders. The Crystal Elves possessed a magical artifact known as the Threshold Crystal, which granted them access to a mystical portal, their key to traversing realms.

"Father Haw, how did you manage to gain entry? You're a human," someone inquired.

"Well, that is a tale for another time," Father Haw replied cryptically.

As the Crystal Elves flourished in their secluded enclaves, their peaceful existence was shattered when unforeseen events unfolded. Human forces, driven by curiosity or greed, discovered the whereabouts of the Crystal Elves and sought to claim them for their own. In a desperate bid to protect themselves, the Crystal Elves sealed off their magical portal, hoping to safeguard their way of life from the encroaching threat.

As the Crystal Elves lived in peace, the king passed away, and his son ascended to the throne. A few years passed, and he had two daters the ledes named Jole and the second name is Jane    The eldest, named Joul, and the younger sister, Jian, grew up happily together. By the age of six, Joul could name all of the kingdoms, and by nine, she could recite them well. Meanwhile, Jian was learning how to shoot a bow. Their mother taught them all they needed to know.

"Come on, Jain, you can do it. Just aim for that apple right there," their mother encouraged.

"Yes, Mother," Jain replied, focusing on her target.

 Jole started to show her mother and her sister her skills.

"Go, Jole, you're doing great," Jane said, cheering on her big sister.

"Well done, Jole, you've gotten even better like you said," added their mother.

"Thank you, Mother, and Jane, you did well," Jole replied.

"Well, girls, I think we need to get back to the castle," their mother suggested.

"Yes, Mother," they both said in unison. As they got to the castle, they heard someone coming.

"And where have you three been?" the King said.

"Well, I was teaching them how to use Crystal Magic," the Queen replied.

"Well, Jane was supposed to come and get her studies done for the day, and Jole was supposed to read the Crystal Law book," the King retorted.

"I read it 200 times, Father. Jane didn't even read it once," Jole defended.

"Hey, I did too," Jane protested.

"Okay, girls, off to bed," the Queen interjected.

"Good night, Mother and Father," they both chimed.

"You need to stop going off, and they do need to know all of this. Jole will be queen one day, you know that," the King reminded the Queen.

"Yes, and Jane will be queen of another kingdom. I know, but they are still little girls," the Queen acknowledged. "Well, are you going to tell them a story?"

"Good night, my King."

"Good night, my Queen."

She went to tell her daughters a story. She saw that Jane and Jole were ready for the story.

"Okay, girls, are you two ready?"

"Yes, we are, Mother."

In the heart of Eldertree Forest, under the canopy of ancient trees, Lyra sat with her elders, recounting the tale of her unlikely friendship with Lily, the human girl.

Her voice, soft yet filled with conviction, wove a tapestry of words, painting vivid images of their adventures together. The elders listened intently, their wise eyes twinkling with interest as Lyra described how she had found Lily lost in the woods, her heart reaching out to the frightened child.

As Lyra spoke, she could feel the weight of her words, knowing that she was challenging the long-held beliefs of her people. Yet, she pressed on, driven by the memory of her friendship with Lily and the lessons they had learned together.

With each passing moment, Lyra's story illuminated the depths of their bond, showcasing the power of friendship to transcend boundaries and unite even the most unlikely of companions. As the tale unfolded, her elders began to see the world through her eyes, understanding the value of acceptance and compassion.

In the end, as the last echoes of her story faded into the whispering wind, Lyra looked to her elders with hope in her eyes, knowing that she had shared not just a tale, but a message of unity and understanding that would resonate throughout Elvoria for generations to come and that is the end for to good night girls
