Chapter 23: Dream

"The Eithra crystals are the product of magic reaching its peak,” Kara recited as Mrs. Karvonen listened attentively. “When the magical energy released by the trees reaches its climax, the crystals form at the roots of the trees and the depths of Lokney lake," she explained.

Mrs. Karvonen nodded in agreement. She was teaching Kara about the Eithra crystals, the trees, and the elves from the other three kingdoms.

She had been receiving lectures for the past few days about the Eithra crystals, the trees, and all the elves of the other three kingdoms. Particularly, Kara wanted to know about the winged Elves of the Ejken tribe. She was certain they had enough secrets that had carried them through thousands of years.

“Magic flowed like air,” Kara continued. “To be used by elves and then to return afterwards. The dark elves of the Ejken tribe sought power and found ways to break the circle of magic, using it to fuel their maleficent plans.”
