Chapter 4

When Huor let go, Alex stared wide eyed at his ears. Blinking rapidly, trying to believe it was fake. He turned his attention to the other blonde, his pointy ears peeked out of his hair as well.

Nothing to be afraid of right? Its just pointy ears, nothing harmless. Except that elves belong in fairy tales.. Books, stories, myths..

Huor sighed and looked at the other elf. "Elensar, should we just tell him?" 

Elensar smiled, "Of course." he turned his gaze over to Alex. "We are elves. And you are in an elven kingdom."

Alex slumped to the ground. "Damn it.." he muttered to himself. Alex gripped his hair. "What the hell is wrong with me?" 

Elensar smiled and looked up at the sky with a thoughtful look, "It is early morning now. Shall we get breakfast?"

Huor rubbed his tummy and began walkinf forward, "Yes! We shall, i'm soo hungry!"

Elensar sighed, "He never seems to stop his eating.." he turned to Alexander and smiled again, "Well, you must be hungry too, right?"

"No-" right then his stomach grumbled. Alexander's face flushed red in embarrassment. "Um.."

Elensar chuckled, "Come." he turned his back to him, indicating that Alexander should hop on it for a piggy-back ride. Alexander did, slowly. Elensar straightened his back and gripped the blonde's legs as he began to follow Huor.

'The grass is so green..' Alexander thought randomly, his eyes half closing from instinct. Alexander looked up ahead of them, a town? There were shops of all sorts spotted throughout the town, with a beautiful white fountain, a white angel shooting water out of her bow. It was ..strange. Instead of it being noisy and crowded like a normal town should be, it was calm and peaceful almost. With everyone chatting softly, smiles on their carefree faces.

That music.. Alexander stared at the girl with flaming red hair singing as other elves behind her played instruments he'd never seen before.

Elensar caught him staring. "Thats Leliana. Isn't she a wonderful singer?"

"..Yes."

Elensar shook his head smiling, "We're almost there, so don't fall asleep or anything."

"Don't be silly! I wouldn't fall asleep on you!"

"..I don't know.." Elensar said rather teasingly.

"Hey!"

"Just kidding! Hehe.."

Alexander buried his head in the crook of the other blonde's neck. This was new. He'd never joked around with anyone before. Alexander let a secret smile slip onto his lips.

"Here we are!" Elensar said suddenly- snapping Alexander back to reality. They walked inside a tavern looking building, called 'Sinome Vasa'. It was warm looking inside, with a fire glowing in the back and tables running on the sides with brown padded chairs. 

Gently, Elensar placed Alexander on a chair, next to Huor- who was already eating happily. Elensar shook his head with slight disapproval then looked at Alexander, "I'm going to get you something to eat, alright?"

"Y-Yesh." 'Oh crap..' 

Elensar chuckled, "What was that?"

"I-I.." 

Huor almost choked on his drink as he burst out laughing. Alexander glared at him cutely as a blush dusted his cheeks. "I bit my tongue, by accident.." he said looking away.

"Don't tease him, Huor. I'll be right back." Elensar chuckled and walked to the ordering counter.

--

The whole table was full with food, all of it. Alexander felt full just looking at it. His Father never let him have that much food, just enough for him to keep living. Maybe that's why he was so skinny and tiny. 

In the end, Huor ate half of everything and left some for Alexander. It was fun, they were all talking and laughing. Alexander learned that Huor had an older sister and lived with his parents, who were very respected chief commanders. Elensar told him stories about his childhood, and that he'd never cut his hair since he was five! 

But such fun had to end sometime right? Well it did. An elf with black hair barged into the tavern, disrupting the peace. His eyes searched until they stopped on Alexander's two elf friends. "Elensar! Huor! We must go to the Prince at once! He calls for us!"

Huor stands up, a seemingly out of character serious frown on his face, "Why does he call?"

The brunette elf shook his head, wiping sweat off his brow as he glanced back, "I do not know Huor, but I was sent to get you all. Hurry quickly to the Prince's yard." 

Elensar stood up now, "We are not in uniform, Lein."

"It does not matter!" Lein bowed slightly in acknowledgement at Alexander before he left like the wind.

Huor sighed, "Let's go then."

"What of him?"

"Yes, what of me? Where are you guys going?"

Elensar turned to him, "We'll be gone for a bit, do you think you'll be fine alone? You can explore if you want-"

"Elensar, we must go now, we can't leave the Prince waiting."

"I know. I'm sorry Alexander, we'll be back soon."

Alexander nodded slowly, "Ok.." and they left as well in a hurry. 

A Prince, huh?

Leliana's Song:  Elder your time is come

Now I am filled with sorrow

Weary eyes need resting

Heart has become grey and slow

In waking sleep of freedom

We sing, rejoice

We tell the tales

We laugh and cry

We love one more day
