The sun rose and the rays of the sun tickled everyone out of their lovely sleep.
But I woke up with a loud, exhausted scream-
"Aaaah!", I had against this nightmare, in our green,
wonderful forest but there was also the `other side`, the so-called" forbidden forest ".
Dark figures live there and everyone who has entered it until now will never return from this darkness. So I dreamed that I was there and the dark figures stared at me with their blinking yellow eyes. They attacked me all of a sudden and robbed me of all my energy and thoughts and I felt an emptiness in me, just like I felt when my sister left at the time.
A real nightmare! I got bathed in sweat from my flower bed, which really looked like a flower. I was lying on a yellow and soft pollen mat and on the outside there were two long petals that were green and gave me warmth in the cold night.
I stumbled a little sleepily into my little bathroom next door, where I took water from a thimble and threw it into my tired face. Back in the bedroom, I got dressed.
Mostly it was my sister's things because mine didn't fit anymore. I put on a purple dress where the sleeves were on the outside of the upper arms. Then I tied a purple headband around that served like a hair tire. Then I took a shower to freshen up and straighten my long blonde hair. Finally I had to clean my wings of dirt and straighten them again. Well, you have to get used to going swimming with your clothes, but we are in the rainforest, the temperatures here are from 40 ° C. My little kitchen was down in the flower's cup. Where I had a large bowl of seaweed for breakfast.
Then I had to go to school. But school with us was completely different than with you, it's just ... Magical! At least then, now there is only theory that is completely caustic.Along the way in the clearing, I met Jinny, my best friend
"Wulla Wulla, July!",
"That too Wulla Wulla Jinny!"
You are probably wondering what this is about, well that's our greeting a bit childish but it was my sister who invented it back then and we didn't want to let her traditions go to waste.
Jinny, like me, was a wood elf, she had short orange hair and also wore tattered clothes, only they were black. Her element was water that she could take from rivers or even from the air. Well, I won't tell you more. We always flew to school together, that was also a tradition. After we flew along the river we saw our school on the left side. It was a huge banana bread tree and since more elves went to this school and we always gathered at the tree at the beginning of the lesson because of the grouping.
It always looked like the tree had a string of lights around it. Because each elf emits a brightly colored light, each in its own color of the element. But if that light were ever to go pale, the elf would die. As far as the teachers came, since we had different classes every day, we also have a different teacher. Haute was on Geography for Frau Grafics.
When she called us we followed her closed and decent into the classroom. The room was like a sunflower. The tables and chairs were made of small yellow and white flowers and the table was decorated with green leaves.
“Today we're talking about the forbidden forest.” The teacher began with a groan.
"Not already against." I thought, enough that I'm there in a dream.
I could even take a guided tour through the forest because I dream about it all the time.
The teacher started to write something on the blackboard that she took from a very new book.
"There are dark figures living in the forbidden forest, nobody knows what for which, because nobody has yet managed to return from the forest."We wrote everything down diligently.
"But when you are inside, keep calm and give them no reason to attack you,
because they smell blood and your fear! "Ms. Grafics explained to us, looking over her glasses.
"How does she want to know that you can feel our fear if no one has ever returned from the forest. I think she just wants to scare us!"


I whispered to Jinny who was just wrong with her thoughts,
"... behind the forbidden forest is Lord Victor's castle.
Only him are the dark figures feared, "she continued.
“More like Lord of Darkness!” I called into the room, everyone laughed.
"Quiet please!" Shouted the teacher. The bellflower rang.
"Good, class is over! See you next time."
We left the classroom and then school.
"God that was boring again!" Jinny rolled her eyes that flew behind me.
"What should we do ?! Since this Victor is in power, doing magic is strictly forbidden." I added hurt. Then we flew side by side across the river in silence
until we got to my house.
“Everything's going to get better!” Jinny beamed at me and then flew away without saying goodbye.
I walked slowly into the house, flew into the kitchen, put my bag on my chair and flew into my room and got the laundry that I had to do. I took the basket where the dirty laundry was and flew down to the river. There mopped my clothes. The water was clear, clean and nice and cold.
I enjoyed doing laundry in the cool water on such high heat.
Although it was often difficult to get the stains out of the fabric.
But of course I was not alone, after all, the river was very long and wide and so many forest dwellers gathered who wiped their clothes themselves or went swimming, scooped up water with buckets for dinner or to get some refreshment. And that's exactly how conversations arose in which all sorts of things are talked about.I overheard one of the conversations by chance.
"Have you already heard what should happen to the prisoners of Lord Tailgate ?!"
whispered one woman to another.
"No, what should happen to them?" The woman looked at her in surprise.
