"Ann, Leigh, get back!" yelled Damon as the owner of the silver eyes jumped out of the bush.  Damon quickly drew his sword.  Ann and Leigh jumped back.

 

    A loud squeal came from what ever it was and it said,"Hey!  Be careful with that thing!  It's sharp you know." and it fell to the ground. 

 

    "Oh my, it's an elf!" yelled Leigh as she bent over looking at it.  "The poor thing, I think you hurt it Damon!"

 

    "Watch out Leigh!  not all elves are good!"

 

    "Oh, but I am a morning elf, you need not worry about me harming you.  All I wanted was one of your jaguar friend's whiskers." he said and looked at his side.  There was a huge gash from his hip to his belly button.  "Oh dear, this isn't good."

 

    "Calm down and relax your mind." Ann said as she moved to his side.  Gently, she placed her hands on the cut and it started to shine light.

 

    "That feels so...wonderful!" said the little elf as all of his muscles relaxed.  The cut started to slowly disappear and soon it was completely gone.  "I really don't know what you did, but thank you!"

 

    Isis, still curious, walked up to the elf,"Oh, I forgot to tell you, my name is Morning Star."  he looked at Isis and continued,"Can I have this?" and yanked a whisker from Isis' face.  "Thank you.  Now, tell me what you're doing in these woods."

 

    Damon told him about the unicorn, Dmetri, the acid pool, Isis, and the clearing they slept in.

 

    "A unicorn?  Really?  Well, I don't think I can find you a unicorn, but I can give you a place to sleep.  Follow the blue stream until you come across a little cottage.  Thank you again for healing me young lady, I am in great dept to you." and he jumped back into the bushes.

 

    "Ann," Isis said,"now I do believe you are pure magic," with a gleam in his green eyes.
