Emily was a human. Her elf guardians told her the story of how she came to the village the day she realized that she was different. About 13 years ago, a mysterious portal opened between the human world and the elf world. While the elves had been examining the portal and trying to figure out why it had appeared, a small girl around the age of 3 had walked through it. The portal had closed behind her and had never appeared again since that fateful day. The elf tribe was unsure what to do with little Emily. The tribal leader and his mate decided to take the girl in as their own. They raised her as if she truly was an elf. Sometimes, Emily wondered what her life would have been like if she had never the left the human world. Then she thinks how wonderful her life has been in the elf world and she is happy that this miracle happened to her.
A week after her hunting trip, Emily was getting ready for her first scouting trip. She and 5 other scouts were to take a 2 day trip to the far east side of the land to see if there were any dragons roaming wild there. Emily finished packing her bag and went to tell her parents goodbye. She met the rest of the scouts right outside the village. They loaded their horses with their gear and checked one last time to make sure they had everything. Emily and one other elf her age were the only newcomers to the scouting party. The other 4 elves were highly experienced and well trained. They were the scouts that usually took the new recruits on their first trips. Emily and the others mounted their horses and set off towards their destination.
