Two figures rode slowly through the deep green wood of their home. The trees on all sides seemed to bend and sway with their passage, almost paying homage to the two and how right they should. Not only were the two figures of the fair folk but these were the elven prince and princess. Dearest friends as well as brother and sister. They worked Constantly to help others that lived just outside the realm of their kingdom, their own home was well cared for and the people were happy beyond imagining. However around their kingdom they could find many people that needed the help of two such gifted individuals.
Alton, prince of the elves, rode with his back straight a cloak flowing down his back with the hood thrown back letting his long blonde hair spill out around his shoulders. His dark emerald eyes looked over at the shorter companion with him. They didn't feel the need to travel with any guards, considering they were both skilled with the use of magic and Alton was just as skilled with the blade as he was with magic. It was unlikely for anything to attack them out on the open road of their own kingdom anyway.
The two of them crested a hill that would let them get their first look at the great castle of their father. Normally the stately tree rose high into the sky before them as they crossed this last hill. The tree rose out of the great castle that their father had built around it. It rose out of the throne room itself higher up then any of the other trees of the forest. The walls would shine and glisten on a normal day with the polished steal of the guardsmen stationed there. The sight that waited for them was one that sent a chill through Alton. Smoke rose from the castle, not from just outside the walls or just inside them, but from around the hole that the tree came out of. The castle was under attack though from the look of it, that wasn't quite right, the castle had been attacked and was now captured.
All around the castle a horde of dark elves and orcs moved clearly celebrating their victory. Alton just continued to stare shocked to see the proud kingdom that was now in the hands of such vile creatures. He could only guess at what had happened to their family that had all been at the castle. The truth was they should have been back yesterday as well but had taken a little extra time on the journey. He was now glad that they had but he wished he had been there, maybe he could have done something. He was so lost in his own world for the moment that he didn't pay much attention to how his little sister was taking this.
