The heart of the forest

(Amelia)

It was time for me to attend the ceremony, and I was extremely nervous, worried even. I wasn't sure how the elves would react if they found out that I was the princess. So, I had been skeptical about this until Sig came and pulled me away. 

After I told him everything about being the princess, he told me that he had something to show me, that he had wanted me to be the very first to witness something magical.

I laughed as he continued to tell me jokes about his past and the trouble he used to cause as a child. 

Sig guided me to the same lush garden where we had first come to. 

The vibrant colors of the flowers seemed to shimmer even more brightly today, and I felt a strange, tingling sensation in the air. 

As we approached the center of the garden, a sudden surge of energy pulsed through the ground beneath us.
