The kingdom of Lucio is truly a sight to behold. All the buildings are straight out of the woodwork and there's plants growing wild everywhere yet in a controlled way. There's trails everywhere that act as roads. I'm so excited I can barely contain myself. I only hold back because of Philia's warning earlier. I fall into step with Owltree.

"Where do you reside if I may ask Elder Owltree?"

"Inside castle grounds where we are headed. You will see." he says. The others leave us at the castle gates. Owltree, Philia, and I continue on going inside the palace. They lead me to the parlour and she turns to me.

"Wait here while I go get the Queen."

"Yes Princess." I say and she leaves.

"I have buisness to attend to so I will see you later." Owltree says and I nod.

"Till later then Elder Owltree." I say and he leaves also. I stay standing and wait for the Queen''s arrival. I don't relax my posture at all and stay away from the mantle. You never know if someone could be watching when it comes to the elves. I take out my paper and a quill pen and do a sketch of the royal family from Morning and as I'm nearly finished I sense someone's prescence.

I of course don't give myself away and continue my drawing. When I finish I place it on the table to dry and pack my quill pen back in my bag. I walk a few paces away from it and sigh like I'm getting bored. I walk back over to my drawing and the prescence is stronger.

"Do you like my drawing?" I say and the prescence draws back. I wait and then she appears. Just as beautiful as her daughter, my goodness. I struggle to keep a straight face and bow to her.

"It is an honor to meet you. If I may ask your name."
