"Hello." I said curtsying. He was taller than I expected and I really didn't understand what a godfather was because I just had a father. Although now I didn't. I smiled at him, but feeling envy toward Rein for having a 'god'father. Geez now I was in a bad mood. Still I acted happy.

"Ryas, Mylinda and Billie are who will be accompanying us." Ryas inspected Billie, noting the way that I had looked at him. "Hello, Sir." Billie said, smiling comfortably at Ryas, whom was the same height as him. "Hello, Billie. I'm trusting that you have taken great care of Rein?"
"Of course, Sir. I would never let harm befall her."
Ryas still looked over Billie, noting how respectful he was. Tall, strong, and handsome, too.
I slid my hand into Billie's, watching for Ryas's reaction to the public display of affection. He smiled and nodded approvingly. "You two have my blessing." He smiled. Then he turned, clicking his tongue. Routinely, four beautiful horses stepped forward. Three white, and one black.
The black one trotted forward, stopping before me. I held out my hand, and the horse dipped his head in a slight bow. I smiled, patting the side of his neck. "Hello, Kain. I've missed our midnight runs."

I stood very still, horses came over, they were tall and beautiful, but I still felt uneasy. I was scared going into a new land and not knowing what to expect. I also knew I would miss Liam and Katlyn terribly. I felt a hand under my chin, Liam pushed my chin up and smiled at me. I hugged him tears streaming down my face now. I didn't want to be a human with a bunch of elves. My dad told me someday I'd meet an elf and all my wishes would come true, but the only wish I had was that my dad was still alive and that's not possible. I let go of Liam and my tears stopped. My hair was knotted in tight curls that wrapped around and around and my dress was ripped in three places. It was the worst day of my life, and yet I didn't feel like it was.

I helped Mylinda onto her white horse, Dorian, and stood on tip toe. She leaned down so I could whisper into her ear. "Don't worry- you won't just be a human in a strange place with loads of Elves. Actually, Ryas and I are the only Elves that actually live in the castle aside from the King and Queen. They have no children. This is a wonderful, joyous place of celebration and peace. You, Billie, and I will wander a bit with the Travelling People, attend great balls, and much, much more. You'll see!"
I turned and swung gracefully onto Kain's bare back, and smiled at Katlyn and Liam. "We'll visit. Royal honor." I crossed my heart, blew them a kiss, and taked Kain into a swift trot back toward the familiar trail to my house.
I entered the door, pulling Mylinda with me into my bedroom. "Rein, what are we-" Mylinda cut herself off with a gasp, staring into my closet. "Here, put this on!" I handed her a knee-length, sleeveless dress of soft emerald green velvet. I pulled out a blue one similar to it, going into the guest bedroom to change.
"Are you finished, Rein?" Mylinda asked me through the door. "Yes, come in." I looked into the mirror, set on combing the knots out of my hair. I looked at her out of the corner of my eye and smiled. Her beautiful brown curls framed her pretty face, and she practically glowed.
I smoothed my golden hair, looked into my own dark green eyes, and giggled, running back to my room, my bare feet moving silently over the worn wooden floorboards. I dug deep into the bowls of my closet, pulling out two pairs of boots and a medium-sized wooden box. I handed the smaller pair of shoes to Mylinda, and she pulled them on with ease.
I did the same, then pulled open the box. Two silver circlets gleamed in the sunlight slanting from the window, and Mylinda stared, openmouthed, at the beautifully made trinkets. I set one upon her head- it had a somewhat large emerald set into it, and tears glistened in her eyes.

I stared at the tiars, it was beautiful. I couldn't except it though. I wasn't royalty. I took it off and put it on the bed. Sitting on the edge of the bed I thought. Thought of all the great things that could happen hear. But I didn't really want to be here. I didn't want to be anywhere, except with my dad. I wanted to cry for him, but I held it in. Rein watched me intently trying to figure out what to do. No matter what she said I will not wear that tiara. It's not mine and I'm not royalty. I wanted to pick it up and hurl it across the room for mocking me, but I didn't because it looked so priceless. Instead I just stared at it.

I sighed heavily. "Come along, then. Billie and Ryas are waiting."
Solemnly, Mylinda stood, following me to where they stood, now accompanied by a large gatherng of townspeople. I swung onto Kain's bare back, twisting his mane around my fingers and tsking him into a swift trot. I wanted to get away. To go home.

I stared at the tall horse still I didn't want to go, but I knew I must. I stood petting her, trying not to cry. Someone behind me picked me up and put me on the horse. I looked down, Billie looked up at me. "Thanks." I said. Looking around I sighed.

It didn't take long for our small entourage to come upon the makeshift camp Ryas and his soldiers had made. I slid off of Kain's back, letting Billie help me to the ground. Hugging him fiercely, I watched from the corner of my eye as Ryas helped Mylinda from her horse's saddle. I felt horrible, thinking of what had happened to her recently. It didn't help that I was displeased with myself, after I had failed to find our way out of the forest earlier. I squeezed my eyes shut, fighting away tears. Then, I took Billie's hand and waited for Ryas to tell me where to go or what to do....Anything to get my mind off of leaving Tirilyn.

I thanked Ryas for helping me down. Sitting on a stump I kept thinking of my father. I was leaving behind everything that contained memoryies. That's when the tears came. I couldn't control them at all. I just sat on the stump crying aware my cutrls were getting tangled from the wind. I missed everyone.

I knelt down beside Mylinda, wrapping my arms around her in a tight hug. "What's a godfather?" She asked suddenly, looking at me strangely. I swallowed hard and looked down, avoiding her eyes.
"A godfather is a man outside of your family who becomes your guardian once you have no one left..." I said softly, sitting back on the grass. "Oh. Oh! I'm sorry, Rein, I just didn't know it would bother you!" She cried, pressing a hand to her mouth.
"It's okay." I smiled, forcing back tears. There was still a sore spot on my heart, left over from the accident that killed my mother, father, and baby sister, Anastasia. I turned abruptly, hearing the rustle of footsteps in the grass. Billie smiled down at me, offering his hand. "Ryas wanted me to come and find you both. Follow me."

We stood and I wiped tears from my face. Stupid wind made dirt marks all over my face. Trying so hard not to burst into tears, I realized I was not waling anymore. I began to walk again, but I couldn't I looked down realizing a snake had wrapped itself around my leg. I stood not daring to move. Quietly I called for Rein. She turned around surprised to see the snake. It's then when I looked around. There were snakes everywhere. Another one wound up my other leg. I stiffened and begun to fell weak.

"Hold still!" I hissed, weaving my way around various snakes to get to Mylinda. Gently, I grabbed the two snakes by the backs of their necks. More of them becan to race toward us, and Mylinda screamed loudly.
"RUN!" I roared, nearly trampling four or five snakes as Mylinda and I fled. Billie appeared from around a tree, and I ran smack into him, both of us tumbling to the ground. I could feel Mylinda's foot connect with my side, as she, too, fell on top of Billie and me.

"Ouch." I said, rolling off of Billie and onto the floor. Then remembering the stupid snakes I stood and looked around. They slithered slowly toward us. I backed up against a tree saying,"stop, stop." over and over again. The snakes stopped. I looked at them curiously. One snake slithered forward and raised itself so it was looking at me from a reasonable level. "You called us." the snake said. Seriously I must have been dreaming cause no snake can talk. I shook my head. "Yes, you did. You were crying for your father and needed comforting. All the animals of the forest are here to comfort you." I looked around, they were everywhere. Animals of all kind had come. A monkey swung down from one of the trees and hugged me. I didn't understand why this was happening, but it felt good to hug someone, even if it was a monkey.

I smiled at Mylinda and her monkey. She giggled, hugging it happily. I frowned when a snake slithered across my shoulders, so it could whisper raspily into my ear: "You best move along, Princess. Dark times be coming soon; Gather your forces and hold your head high." It settled around my shoulders, clearly deciding to come along with us. My mouth in a forceful, determined line, I set off to find Ryas.

Walking with a monkey around you was very sweet and then when you have a trail of animals, each rubbing against your legs, well let me tell ya it's hard to walk. Although it felt very nice. I just followed Rein toward camp.
