You walk through the green lush forests, the mossy trail padding your feet and making your steps silent. The morning mist through the trees makes the rays of sunlight visible as they drift in through the green canopy and adding a golden glow to the trees. Birds flitter through the silence, but only a few calls are heard and the morning is mostly a peacful and serene silence. It almost seems like you would hear a harp or flute playing in the shadows, and then suddenly to your surprise, you do! A haunting and lively melody drifts through the trees to your hears, and at first you don't believe it. Soon your round a corner and see a teen girl playing a mandolin of sorts on a rock. Her eyes are closed and she concentrates on the lovely peice. Suddenly she stops and looks up at you with a smiling but surprised look. Good day, I hope you don't mind my playing. you shake you head and say you quite enjoyed it. Why thank you, it's just a hobby of mine, but I don't get many listeners. My name is Kiarnta, I live in the woods as my family has ofr generations. as she walks up you notice she has pointed ears, and remark in surprise "You're an elf!" then immediately regret it. But she smiles and nods Yes I am, but only half elven. My great grandmother was a mortal, and so was my godfather. you blush and applogize for saying that. It's no problem, in fact, it was nice to hear a surprised voice. It's usually so taken for granted here that to have someone remark that is a nice surprise. You ask her if she lives alone, Yes, in this section I am the only one. But my parents and grandparents also live in this area, so I am not always lonely. she smiles and thinks for a moment, My family also owns quite a few Kinsarian Flits, a draconic bonding specie. I am the only one who doesn't have one, and am waiting for the next clutch so I might have a bonded flit. We are almost known and the breeders of the forest now, but my parents don't take it to their heads, and rarely have a clutching. she goes back into thought. If you;d like to know more, I can give you this; and she hadns you a slip of paper. The sun begins to deepen and grow warmer as you are there. And with a pleasant farewell from Kiarnta you walk on into the forest, and after a few mintues you hear the same flowing melody pick up and drift through the large forest.
