The Blessed city

When I woke up, I wasn’t in the desert any more.

My wounds were healed.

I was in a sort of golden palace. The place had all sorts of artefacts and jewels. Judging by the craftsmanship and their splendour, they were likely made by master craftsmen.

How did I get here? …Under normal circumstances I feel like it would be more in character for me to start fan girling like crazy at this. But, I must remain calm and assess the situation. I feel like I’m forgetting something? Something important.

I should ask Teach.

Teach…GAAH!

Teacher!

HUUUH!

Where is she?! Where’s Teacher!

“TEACCHERR!”

“You can stop shouting I’m right here. Tact isn’t your strength but, we’re in the presence of the queen of this country try to act a little more dignified.” 

A silver haired woman gave me a stern warning.

Great! Teacher’s okay.

“You’re alive!”

“Unfortunately.” She said.

“Where are we?”

“Eridu. And that is the queen.” 

Yikes! After Teach mentioned it I noticed the guards surrounding us on all four corners of the room. A woman was seated on a golden throne. This was really the kingdom of legend.

“Welcome!” The queen said.

The Queen walked down her throne casually and came straight toward me, a smirk on her face.

She was radiating magic like crazy! My precious little sis Charlotte was an A grade witch but even she didn't have this much magic BO. The queen of the elves was fo sure powerful. 

The Queen began to scrutinize me heavily.

She resembled a young girl, younger than me, with distinctive sliver hair. And golden eyes. Her face was angelic and perfectly round. She kinda looked familiar.

The Queen was around one head shorter than me. For reference, Fluffy pink hair and I were about the same height. And Teacher was slightly shorter than me, but just about the same height as my darling sister Charlotte.

“Oh, my!” the queen of the Elves exclaimed, blushing a little. “You’ve brought such a cute girl with you Tuilë!”

Cute? Me?

No, no she has a point. But then again.

 Well, I mean yes, yes, I am! Heh-heh-heh…heh-heh… Haaaa-ha-ha-ha! I could almost feel myself smirking. All the historical books I read said elves hated the other races, but they were all clearly wrong!

Elves are actually pretty cool if I do say so myself.

Heh-heh-heh.

“I didn’t come here so you could admire my student’s stupid grinning face.”

Stupid!?

“Is that so?” The Queen replied as she stopped giving me head pats. DON'T STOP YOUR MAJESTY! And did teacher just call me stupid!

“I’m not stupid!” I said, but was ignored.

“Then let me ask you a question.” She walked back to her throne and sat cross-legged. “What do you want!? What business do you have coming back here after 2000yrs?”

“You left without a word and now you come back with a human!” She continued.

I could feel myself trembling at how sudden and intimidating her voice was now. But Teacher was as cool as a cucumber, like always!

“Has it really been that long, mother?”

Wait. 

“H-hey Teach...The queen is your...“

MOTHERRRRR!!!!?
