My Fantasy Story (Part 4)

Emily felt her magic sending her a warning. She almost began to cry at her sudden spark of good luck. Unexpectedly, Emily dropped from the branch she was standing on and landed lightly on the ground. Before the dragon realized what was going on, she slipped into a niche in a hollow tree. The dragon circled around a few times, but could not figure out what happened to Emily. To her utter despair, the dragon, instead of flying away, landed on the top of the tree right next to the one she was hiding in. Emily, once again had no idea of what to do. She began to mentally search her mind of any magic spells that could help her out of her predicament. Emily smiled as she remembered one that could hopefully save her life.

She began to recite the cloaking incantation that she had learned as a small child from her Elven father. Even when she was young, Emily had a knack for getting into trouble. Her father had hoped that this certain spell would be able to save her life one day. Emily prayed that in would work for her now. When she was finished saying the spell, she looked down to make sure her body was invisible, and it was. Emily began to slowly exit the tree and walk quietly across the ground and through the trees. She prayed to any and every god that was listening, hoping that the dragon would not hear her or smell her. Emily jerked to a sudden stop when a twig snapped under her left foot. The dragon stayed where it was and she continued her escape.
