“Your highness, can we really?” One of the hyter sprites, Nia, asked me and I nodded. Hyter sprites are sort of fairies that can shape-shift into sand martins. They usually help out lost kids.
I stood on the big tree stump while I addressed the dwellers of the forest. I told them it was fine to come to the palace and there was no longer any need to stay away.
“Your majesty, you’re no longer angry?” A selkie asked. Selkies are seals that have human form on land.
I took a deep breath, “I wasn’t angry.” I knew I spoke harshly with them and I owe them an apology, “I’m sorry I spoke harshly, I didn't mean to.” I looked at them all, “I was just worried.”
“About that human?” An elf, Nistim, spoke.
“Yes.”
“Your majesty may I ask?” Nistim spoke again.
“Go ahead.”
“Is that human your fated partner?”
Nistim’s question alerted everyone and they all exchanged glances among themselves and then looked at me. Eyes wide with expectations and curiosity.
