The cool, crisp dawn broke with the birds singing loudly as they awoke and went about the business of feeding themselves, and their young. Near the elementry school in winston there was an old oak grove. It was so old that the people in the town had just began to say it has always been there. At the center of this grove was a clearing with tall grass bent heavily under the dew that had accumilated on it during the night. Around the clearing was a small stand of ash and thorn trees to compliment the oak grove. At the very center of this clearing the air shimmered heavily as if a think heat wave occupied the space. Then suddenly the air was normal, and a small figure stood there huddled in its cloak of green that seemed to naturally blend with the color of the grass.
Next the cloak was removed to show a young slender girl who was just beginning to blossom into a woman. Her appearance was normal except there was something different about her ears. She was dressed the same as any 12 year old who attended the nearby school. Her long flowing hair was a pale purple, and her eyes were a passionate lavender, though most didn’t notice the odd color. She carefully packed her cloak into the back pack she removed from her back. And removed a black fake leather jacket, with faux fur lining the collar, wrists and waist. She donned her jacket and and began a treck towards the school. She could already hear the other children palying, waiting for class to begin. She was a little bothered about taking the courses offered at this school as they were to easy for her. It was however better then , not getting to play soccer. She enjoyed being the star of the school team because of her agility as compared to the human children, though at home she was just average. Here she could be a star, as long as she remembered not to use any magic, she was safe with her secret. She had even found a family of wiccans who pretended to be her parents in exchange for her using her magic on occasion for them.
In reality she was an Elvish princess named Lamairne, whom was 110 human years old. Her education in her own dimension was still ongoing but due to the flucuations of time between her world and this one she was able to attend both with no problems. Though it did tire her on occasion, it was worth it. To think that someday she would be equipped to bridge the gap between the worlds had not entered into her mind. Though her parents in the Shea had seen the good that could come from her extra curricular activites. Though she herself was unaware that they even knew what she was doing. It had taken her awhile to learn the english that the humans used but she had mastered it, and had taken on the english meaning of her name as her human name. She was known to the humans as Jetty. The americans were fun, but at least the irish spoke the same language as her. From what she had learned though most people in the world new english even if it was a second language.
She arrived at the school yard, and saw her friends waiting for her by the bleachers in front of the soccer field. She ran to them as excited to see them as they were her.
