Alexa opened her eyes and her jaw unlocked, There was a beautiful, HUGE Castle standing before her, there was a glowing gate with two, good-looking guards positioned in front of it, there were crystal butterflies and the greenest grass, and the brightest sky She'd ever seen, it was breathtaking, All of it

She saw Queen Marleah, Carla and Logan walked through the portal and onto the soft grass, Logan and Carla didn't have the grace of Alexa and Marleah as they walked through, the Queen walked in regally so did Alexa, Carla walked in and tripped on a rock, Logan walked in and tripped over Carla, Making one of the tiny bugs squeak, But she looked closer and it was actually a tiny person, dressed in a flowering leaf dress with a small crystal wand

"That's a pixie fairy, One of the residents of my kingdom," The queen said 

"It's beautiful," She said

"Oh no, This one is Cecilia, That one is beautiful," The queen said, pointing to a fairy fluttering by a purple flower.

"Her name is beautiful?" Alexa asked

"Oh yes, That one is Glory and the Other is Grandeur," The queen pointed, she listed more shiny names but one caught her attention

"Dawn? that's my last name."

"Wonderful! You have a very special name Alexa" Marleah said

"Thank you?" She wasn't sure if she was happy with that comment or not

There was a magical hum as they approached the castle gate, the guards bowed as they opened the gate, Alexa And Marleah were used to this but Carla blushed as she walked past the guards and probably when they thought no one was watching, the guard winked at Carla and She covered her mouth with her hand. Logan whistled as he walked through, Alexa gaped as she walked past beautiful gardens and fountains, 

"You must love gardening" Alexa said to the young queen

"Oh, no that's my mother, When she leaves from visits, the garden is always blooming, it's- her abilities, Alexa, us fantasy creatures-" 

"Im not a fantasy 'creature'"

"That's what you think" The queen cradled Alexa's head, then she gently caressed her ears, she muttered an incantation and tugged gently on Alexa's ears. To Alexa's shock, her ears came loose, her old ears fell to the ground.

Carla and Logan cringed, like they knew she was going to shout, to their surprise, Alexa's next sentence was a whisper

"I'm an elf" Alexa whispered "I'm- and elf!"

Alexa grinned from ear to ear, causing Logan's cheeks to blush bright red, Alexa didn't see this though.

Alexa hugged the young queen as tight as she could

"I'm glad your happy s- Alexa" Marleah corrected

Alexa didn't even notice,

"Can i explore the castle? "
"It would be my pleasure" Marleah said, kissing Alexa's cheek

Marleah toured Alexa around the castle, there was every single room in existence in the castle, she passed bedrooms, living rooms, movie rooms, bathrooms, meeting rooms, a throne room, and many many more, by the time she finished the tour, it was sunset about 5:45 o'clock.

"I'm famished after that tour," Alexa said to Marleah who smiled

"Well, you know where the kitchens and dining hall's are" Marleah offered

Alexa nodded and took off, grabbing Logan's hand too, Carla was walking behind, talking to the queen.

Alexa and Logan laughed and giggled all the way to the dining room
