Days you walked on, following a strange Elven Princess, FireStarr, as she told of an even stranger story. Mystical creatures you believed were only myths, wars, strange majick, beings orphaned by the battles between the Evil and Goodly Races and more things that you would have never believed. The Princess's speech is very fast and quite soft in tone, while high in pitch. Such a combination makes her difficult to understand. You know there is much ergency in her tone and that your help is needed. How you are to help your not sure yet, you hope to figure that out when you arrive. You have also understood that while she is leading you, most who inhabit your destination would surely not welcome you.... even if they knew you were coming!
Arriving, after such a long trek through the old forest, you blink many times as you take in the sight of the Mystic Grove. The description of The Grove by Princess FireStarr was remarkable but still does not come close to the beauty before you.
Many Elven Maidens and Fairys move about quickly and with great purpose. Some appear to stop and inspect a large tree before moving on. The ground, plants and sky all seem to glow from their own design. A few unicorns stand at guard around the edge. You also notice that something large seems to be flying over the trees, it's shadow hiding the moon at times. What it is you can not even try to guess.
The river appears as flowing diamonds, sparkling from an inner glow. Gemstones, you realize, are flowing from the water to the shore. It is the gemstones that are are main concern of these mystical creatures. You look to Princess FireStarr for guidance but she is gone. A few of the gemstones are making it to the very edge of the grove near you before washing to the shore.
Do you pick one up to see what all the excitement is about?
