A Trip Away From The Castle

Ella gets up and goes to the desk in the left hand corner of the room, finds a quill, ink and paper and writes Char a goodbye letter. At first Ella wrote about what Edgar had told her to do but Benny told her to omit that. She rewrote the letter and turned to go, leaving everything behind her as she left.

She just walked right out of the castle and was never stopped by anyone. With nowhere in mind, Ella walked away into the forest and disappeared from the view of the castle. She just kept walking ignoring the slight pain in her feet as she somehow managed to get small stones in her footwear.

Only when she felt a discomfort did Ella stop. Taking a seat on a fallen log by the edge of the road, she took off her footwear and turned it up and shook out the stones in them. As she went to put the footwear back on, she heard a voice from behind.

“So what do we have here?”

Looking around Ella just caught a glimpse of a fellow dressed in all green. He was as tall as Slannan, just as built as him but this one had green on his face. If it wasn’t for the white glare off his teeth and the blueness of his eyes, Ella would have thought that she was hallucinating his appearance.

“Who’s there?”

The hallucination came out of the woods and stood in front of Ella “Why me! Wooden and who are you?”

“Ella of Frell”

“Pardon me but aren’t you a long way from Frell?”

“Oh I’m on a quest to find Lucinda and have her remove a gift she placed on me years ago!”

“Oh and pray tell what would that be?”

Without even being told to tell him. Ella blurted her secret out “To Obey anything I’m told to do!”

“What, like touch my elven cock!”

Ella dropped her footwear and reached out her right hand and placed it on the cook in front of her! The green elf started smiling as others came out from the woods!
