Standing on the edge of the forests gives me this exciting rush of energy. I grin and drop my things and start running. I go a couple steps up a tree to jump to the one next to it and grab a low hanging branch.

"What are you doing." the Princess says, her voice freezing and I stop in my tracks then drop down.

"I'm sorry my liege. I just got very, excited to see all the forest." I say.

"Ask your forgiveness for harming the Great trees."

"You really know a lot of the elves for a human." Philia says. I don't say anything and remain bowed.

"Rise and explain yourself."

"I'm a quarter elf blood and my grandmother taught the ways of the forest."

"You know magic?" Owltree exclaims.

"Very little."

"Enough of this, let's go." Three miles later the shapes of trees start to change.

"We're close to the gates my boy." Owltree says hitting my back.  Really annoying. We stop and guards appear. Some hiding others using that invisibility power. They check all of us including Philia with permission.

"Welcome back Princess and the anointed one." The elven guards say. Huh.

"Holland come here to my side." Philia says and I do. The others line up behind us and the doors open.

"Welcome to my home, to Lucio."
