“The elves located us, and came for us,” Ellhan continued, his eyes dark and faraway, “Ellyza begged them to at least let me and her daughter live. They did not listen, but tried to kill me again. I fought my best, but elves had their magic. I was no match for them. I ran from the fight, trying to take Ellyza with me, with you in my arms. Then Ellyza, did something no one expected.”

“What?” I breathed.

“She cast a great spell over the island,” Ellhan said, “elves of royalty do not learn any magic, but from the ancient elvish legends, it is said that they posess a greater kind of magic that is hidden within them, that becomes unleashed when they need it. I believe she used that within her.”

He looked at me sadly.

“The elves were in confusion as Ellyza’s great spell fogged up the island. No magic of theirs could counter her spell. I, too, was in a daze, trying to work out what was happening. Then it was all too late. They left, taking Ellyza with them, leaving me with a tiny baby in my arms- you.
