Queen Arla three children had been birthed at Quewarnds as she couldn't go anywhere else but there.Before Lord Galdor had gotten banished he'd usually bring in different source of entertainment to get rid of the boredom she felt of being locked in the palace, he pitied her even if all the blame was on him there had been little he could do about it.
Princess Serafina, Princess Amber and Prince Orion were given birth duly her most favorite child was her second daughter.
The day she had been born the dead lanterns lighted up through out the palace, her birth had brought in brightness of which her mother longed to see.
Her first daughter, Princess Serafina had been the most obedient and reserved one amongst them, she reminded the Queen of her late mother unlike Princess Amber who had always been the adventurous, outspoken and talented one despite being courteous like her mother would say she lighted up the darkness anywhere she stepped into.
Lord Galdor had snatched their one and only son from her before leaving with his dragon army he justified it with their separation as he had the right to the custody of at least one child.
Her Golden Scepter of authority had gone missing on that day, she was supposed to forbid his dragon army from entering Quewarnds up until today she had cried and hated herself for being so careless.
Now her dear daughter, Princess Amber had been appointed as the Mistress of Lake Swilock in charge of the swines as a result of her escapades.
Queen Arla had grudgingly sent her daughter away as requested by the Unanimous Elders in accordance with the penalty ditched out for her noncompliance to the rules of The Mist Universe.

*Amber's POV*
Never in my life had I imagined sitting at a banquet with hundreds of joyful Elves dancing to the melodic beats of drums and playing around.
Like in the books their ears were pointy even though they looked bigger their features were still intact.
Both dark and fair skinned Elves trooped in and out of Slvkinles, their little village.
The trolls had barged in earlier to defend me and revealed my identity to the Elves, they had thought I was a human spy from their rival neighboring village who had come to peek for information.They found me in their main warehouse lying unconsciously on one of the newest merchandise placed in a room.
The Elves had narrated their not so good history of the humans, they were not on friendly terms with them right from centuries ago but Queen Arla had tried to fix their relationship by organizing a treat but it had fallen through, it led to fights for borders and lands which ended up in chaos.
The humans had compelled them to vacate their inherited farmlands and assets, only the ruler of the Universe had understood their plight and offered them a sovereign land to call their own in another dimension of the world to live in order to halt the pandemonium.
They respected her till present, they would never have intentions to harm the child of their most cherished ruler.
After apologizing they decided to conduct an honorary feast in glory of the Chosen One, I was gifted a new beautiful dress my hair got styled prettily I looked more like an actual Princess.
The trolls were well disposed to the humans and Elves and they could sense immediately with the aid of their supernatural powers that I was the Chosen One thereby convincing the Elves too.
I made a lot of interesting Elf acquaintances, they all treated me like a royal.
"Princess Amber aren't you bored of sitting let's go and take a look over there the magical show is about to commence." A squeaky excited Elf dragged me along from my seat, she was dark skinned but pretty.
"Gaylia let My Lady be she's not so bouncy like you." An older Elf scolded, he and the other group of Elders were the leaders of the entire Elves.He smiled so kindly at me, I still couldn't believe he was still the same boss Elf who had wanted to burn me alive.
I shuddered at the thought
"Pa Lago it's fine I can handle myself." I defended as I also craved fun pertaining to the dangers and difficulties I had gone through in the last few days I deserved this at least.
"Yes! yes! yes!." Gaylia jumped in enthusiasm, holding on to my hand she hopped along.
"Take it easy on the Chosen One my dear don't be too playful." Pa Lago advised in surrender.
"Ok Pa Lago." She called out as we reached the entrance of the dinning room.
I hastened in my pace to keep up with hers as she was almost running we bumped into some trolls on the way.
"Where are you off to Your Grace?" The leader of the trolls who had saved me asked, unlike the Elves they were more shorter with rock like skins and green in color.
"To the Magical Show." Gaylia retorted in delight.
"Princess it's better to be safe than sorry do not wander anywhere else even if the vicinity is guarded for now." He warned.
"Toki I'll be alert and won't go off from here." I assured him with a gentle smile, they nodded in unison bowing slightly before we proceeded to part ways.
"It's going to be so much fun I tell you." Gaylia said happily as we approached a small gathering of joyful chattering Elves.
"I hope it is are they going to performing any spells like turning a frog into a princess?" I enquired elatedly since I was in an enchanting world I guessed anything could be possible.
"Oh no we aren't allowed to cast spells like that randomly except for an important cause but you'll get to see amazing tricks." She replied acutely winking at me I nodded knowingly maybe I was being so over the top.
Gaylia informed the Elves of my presence at the top of her voice of which they created a path for me within themselves, they fixed a seat for me to comfortably watch the show.
My heart sang gladly in anticipation, I seldom left the mansion back at home so this privilege meant the world to me.
Few Elves enjoined their arms and legs into one another in the middle of the gathering, fire flies flew around them dreamily soon they turned into a sole giant Elf I gawked in astonishment.
I scanned the Elves reaction they just clapped in exuberance, I got rid of my dazed facial expression as it felt like I was the only one perturbed stupidly and this shouldn't be expected from a royalty.
Since when did I even want to act like one? I asked myself
"It's okay to feel that way after all it looked magical." Gaylia giggled observing my countenance, she was seated beside me.
"I recently lost my memory and powers so things like these enthrall me even if it's not supposed to." I said in defense
"I understand you uhhh I got to pee keep enjoying the show I'll be back stay right here." Gaylia blurted out suddenly rushing away
"O.....k" she didn't even wait to hear my reply before disappearing.
I looked on, the Elves were increasing in number in a jiffy the area became crowded I had to stretch my neck to get a view of the performance.
"My Lady is it inconvenient for you?" Gaylia asked in a calm tone.
I was startled how did she appear here so quickly? I thought in surprise I had probably been so distracted.
"What?" I didn't know why I felt so lost but she used to sound very informal despite the knowledge that I was a Princess now she called me 'My Lady'????
"Oh it's must be so suffocating in here since everywhere has been occupied." She said walking towards me in a steady manner.
"Yes I guess so are you okay?" I inquired because she seemed more composed than earlier.
"Of course do you wish to see something more thrilling My Lady." She gestured towards me to come along.
Wow so she could be this comported I thought puzzled.
"Oh really let's go for it then." I agreed, we squeezed our way through the gathering, she showed me to a dark narrow path.
Though she was quite ahead of me, weirdly that horrible odor of which I usually smelt when a bad energy lurked came to me.
I paused in my track in realization, she could be a grotesque in an Elf form, my bone froze in fear it wasn't too late though.
"Why did you stop My Lady is something wrong?" Gaylia asked in a cold voice without turning back she halted.
"Nothing I bumped my leg onto a stone don't bother about me." I replied in a shaky tone gripping the hem of my dress I felt the atmosphere change it's temperature, the cold air blew into my nostrils.
'It was now or never Amber run' I warned myself, I didn't wish to alert this cunning grotesque, slipping away quietly would be for the better.
"Why not? you are my business." She answered slyly, her head twisted backwards leaving out the rest of the body, emitting an evil laughter.
My being stopped dead, it was like I couldn't move my limbs again, She transformed into a gigantic monster her black aura flowed beneath.
I screamed in horror tripping I blocked my face with my arm as I felt it advancing towards me.
In a moment the earth vibrated roughly below me, the grotesque vanished as I couldn't sense it presence any longer.
"My Lady are you alright?" Pa Lago hurried to help me up from the ground.
I nodded speechlessly my whole body still trembled from the shock.
"We found Gaylia lying unconsciously by the corner of a building that was how we suspected that something might have happened." Toki explained to me as we made our way to the main room.
"A shapeshifter grotesque tried to assassinate you I think there's a plot against the Chosen One." Pa Lago reasoned aloud, the trolls shook their head in affirmation.
Who could it be that desires to murder me so desperately? I though dreadfully
Where the hell was Loel? I cried
