Outraged yet at the same time amused by the audacity of the child, and yes, in comparison to her she was but a child, Faeirex began to laugh, a low throaty chuckle. It seemed there were things that needed to be said.
"Legolas, the girl and I need to talk. There are things she does not understand yet, and she needs to know them. You agreed to respect my wishes not to tell you more about myself, so I have to ask you to leave us alone again."
Despite the formal, civilised tone of her voice, there was no mistaking the order implicit in her words. With a long, hard look at her, Legolas turned and strode off into the distance.
The faery made a move to follow him. Faeirex gave an almost imperceptible movement with her hand, tightening her will. She froze the air around the little creature, holding her immobile.
"I know that part of history has been lost, girl, and part of that history is my own. It will stay that way. I know of the faeries, and nothing you have to say can surprise me.
Look beyond what your eyes tell you. Elves were the first beings to walk this earth, and I am one of the first of those Elves. You see a part of my power now for yourself. Even if you do not know my name, be sure the faery king does. I am thankful that Cellius has followed his pledge to keep silent about me, but now he has erred. If he knew that I was involved, he would never have sent you here.
Go home, and tell him that Faeirex knows of the danger, and Faeirex will deal with it as she sees fit. The time of faeries and of elves is over, but be sure of one thing, my time is just beginning."
She released the air holding her captive immobile. How would the faery react? Faeirex couldn't be sure. It mattered little. However the girl responded, she would be thwarted. The she-elf had control over the oldest of magics, and she would use those ancient powers to ensure that the faery returned home, her message undelivered.
