Chapter 3

"You're really leaving me in charge?" Luna asked.

"Yup" I said popping the 'p'.

I was all ready to go in the elf world and I told Luna to watch the place.

"Okay but if I burn down the place we know who to blame" she teased.

"Jasmine you ready?" I said trying not to sound annoyed. I just didn't trust her.

"Yes" she said.

Yes, who says yes, it's so formal, I mimicked in my head. I know I sounded like a total whinny bit-

"Arina?" Sage said snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, right, portal, open, me" I got out.

I sounded like such a dork. I face palmed in my head, a dork that talks to herself, great.

A second passed and then the portal appeared. with a quick goodbye to Luna and Alex, I stepped through with Sage and Jasmine close behind.

Going through portals had become a normal thing for me. So normal that I didn't land on my butt when going through. However Jasmine and Sage weren't as lucky. I held back laughing at Sage who fell face down.

"You okay?" I asked him in between laughing.

"Fine" he mumbled.

Even Jasmine was smiling a little, "So where to?"

"According to my guessing, Aylward should arrive here since we triggered something by randomly appearing" I guessed.

"Who's there!" a voice yelled.

I shook my head smiling, "and there it is."

Aylward emerged with other elves with him. Aylward still looking the same, his silver hair slightly shorter as his eyes still shone their silver also.

"Hey elfy!"

Aylward glared at Sage, he hated the nicknames Sage came up with.

"A pleasure as always Sage" Aylward remarked with much sarcasm. Sage teasingly bowed.

"Who is she?" one of Aylward's men asked.

"Hey, I'm Arina, hybrid of elf and hunter" I introduced. "That's Sage, hunter and Jasmine, fairy."

Sure it's funny how we introduce each other weird but it's polite to state what you are.

"Welcome to the elvin lands" another man or I guess elf said.

"What brings you here?" Aylward asked.

"I was hoping the check out red eyes old castle" I replied.

Sage smiled his goofy smile, "I'm here just for the adventure."

"And you Jasmine?" Aylwadd asked.

"I was hoping to explore and learn about the elf lands" Jasmine looked shyly at the ground.

"Well then, why don't we start at the great one's old castle" Aylward said mocking the title he used for Red eyes. No one really liked my red eyes joke, well depending on their mood.

We began walking in silence. Sure it was a little awkward but the silence was nice.

"The castle will take a few days to get to. I suggest we stop at the elvin castle for supplies" Aylward stated. So much for suggesting. Nevertheless we all nodded, agreeing on what he said.

I thought about the elvin castle. Honestly, last time I was there was when I saw my mom, Nadina, but she wasn't alive anymore. I knew that. Now it was Edrick who ruled and I know he would press me being the only heir carrying royal elvish blood. Well half royal blood but you get the point. I didn't want that though. I didn't want to rule. I suggested he find someone else to... Help make an heir. Also, Ren was detained so no talking about that with him.
