activities. Most, if not all of them are very lazy with that rule and try to use magic discreetly and in small unnoticeable ways. It’s only when they get caught that they get punished and then very quickly return to using magic, although the Elves would tease Fae for being in contact with a human, they are secretly jealous of her for being able to practice magic to the extent she does with Ellen.
Although the Elves know very little magic only enough to make little things levitate and small time spells and pieces of their ancient language long forgotten except for the fact that Fae and Ellen can still utter most of them because the Elders decided that leaving magic behind completely could have inconceivable effects on their entire community and even their race as a whole.
Now Ellen really doesn’t go out of her tower of power very often and leaves gathering of ingredients for her many concoctions up to Fae and her Elven friends or acquaintances. They are always trying to find out about things and learn as much magic from Fae as Elvenly possible, to help make their lives that little bit easier.
Even though Fae would never admit it, she does sometimes need the other Elves help with gathering ingredients and getting out of trouble she gets herself into. Although she is smart and knows a lot of magic she is a mischievous elf which is not surprising after all she does talk too much.
“Look Fae, here comes Ellen.” said Kyle.
“Hello Fae, how have you been, have you been avoiding me lately?” said Ellen.
“No, not avoiding you. I have a better understanding of why Mitchell just says very little to me, I think he’s avoiding me, the others explained to me that we aren’t exactly the same as humans and now I know how I would respond to an Elf that can talk to me to some extent.”
“Yes Fae, I know the translation is a lot to be desired but the machines were created by humans and elves and whoever knows what else, many moons ago.”
“I will only say “Hi” today and that will have to be enough.” said Fae.
“Or maybe you’ve said too much.” said Kyle, in a cheeky tone.
“That’s good I need you to go and gather these ingredients for me,” said Ellen.
Ellen hands Fae the ingredient list.
“Can we go and check out the old machines after we find them all?” said Fae.
“Yes, I Suppose So. But don’t let the Elders see you scavenging about there, I will get the blame.”
Ellen fades off into the distance and Kyle waits patiently to make his remark.
“She said it, she will get the blame,”
“Yes, but we don’t go out and intentionally get caught, do we?” said Fae, glaring at Kyle.
With that Kyle and Fae and the others go out and collect the ingredients, Ellen doesn’t tell Fae what the ingredients are for or any of the finer details and won’t until she returns with them. She figures what you don’t know won’t hurt you, and if she doesn’t know then the other elves won’t pester her to give up more information then she would normally. Fae knows that if Ellen gets caught then so too does Fae and the Elders although they don’t use magic to lead by example, they do use one of the most ancient spells known to Elves and that is Shackle’s.
When Fae gets into trouble she finds herself in a room by herself with icy shackles and no way to even move let alone free herself, and she doesn’t look kindly at anyone who puts her there.
Now they find themselves at the half human and half elven machine which nobody knows what it’s called exactly. Well that would be by design because of what it does.
Although it’s a machine it’s more magical then a machine and contains all manner of incantations on it.
It looks like a spinning sphere and has two rock monsters known formally as Golems to the Elves. It’s as large as the building that contains it which is the only human part about it, basically.
The Golems
