She woke up by being shaken by one of her servants whom she told last night to wake her before dawn so that she may be gone before most of the kingdom would be awake. She quickly got up and told her servant to leave her and to get the horse ready by the time she got there. The servant left quietly while she started getting dressed in her riding clothes for this is going to be a long 3 days.
When she was finished getting dressed she walked out of her room swiftly making her way through the halls and out to the stable where her servants have the horse ready. She told her servants that they may go back inside and finish what they were doing or to go home to their family. She slowly got herself ready as her servants started to leave but one amongst them stayed in the middle of the room but she was holding something in her hands.
Elararion moved away from her horse and up to her servant and held out her hands. The servant moved so quickly that Elararion couldn’t see what she put in her hands and she disappeared as soon as she let go of her hands. Elararion just stood there with her hands still held out in front of her and finally after a while she moved them back to her sides and she realized that there was nothing in her hands. Still dazed she slowly got on her horse and she slowly had him walking away from the stables.
After a while she noticed that the sun was coming up and she snapped out of her dazed and made the horse hurry up and out of the kingdom before any would noticed and continued on the road to the Kingdom of Llya. When she knew she was a safe distance away from her home she slowed down a little and slowly made her way through her favorite forest which laid between her home and the next kingdom which was hours away.
She stopped when she was half-way through the forest near the waterfall which flowed into a lake which she let her horse drink from. As her horse was drinking from the lake she remember the stories of the forest and myths about the lake. She remember that her people said that if any traveler that drink from the lake will be watched over and have a safe journey.
So while her horse was resting she took some water and took a drink as well just in case because her father did say that it was going to be dangerous. When she lifted the water to her lips and took one sip she felt instantly better like she never was tired, dazed or scared. She didn’t really remember where she was or how she got there but then after a while that feeling past. She slowly moved away from the lake and over to her horse which stopped eating and was waiting for its master to leave.
Elararion slowly got up on her horse and slowly had her walk away from the lake and the waterfall. She didn’t feel like rushing today since it was suppose to be a dangerous journey she planned on getting to the next kingdom by nightfall so she could rest and worry about the dangerous part for the next day so it could be during the day and not during the night.
She thought that the Lady of the next kingdom would be kind enough to let her stay for the night and rest her horse and her body for the next day journey but again she has a couple hours before she reaches the next kingdom of elves. She looked up and realized that it was only mid-day and she was almost to the next kingdom and she started getting worried. She didn’t want to go that fast but it seemed like the horse didn’t want to be near the lake.
She sat there and wondered why the horse was frightened so much about the lake and realized that part of the old myth it said something about animals. She tried to think back on the myth but only remember that animals do not go in there much because of something hiding in the waterfall that scares me them away for being there too long. Then she started thinking that the reason why her horse was scared was because of that reason but she can’t think of any reason why it would affect her.
As she continued on the forest started to grow thinner and thinner and she thought that this wasn’t normal. She started reaching for her sword when out of no where an arrow came flying through the air past her head and hit the tree next to her. She quickly reached for her sword and held it up and looked around but saw on one. After a while she decided to yell “Come out and fight me”
