Character's Story:
I was born a dream elf, raised a dream elf, and live as a dream elf. My name is Mareo and I have finally reached the age where I can go off and live on my own. The dreamer I chose? A young girl with ambitious dreams. As I sit upon the rock, looking out over the waterfalls and vast fields of beautiful flowers and plants only seen in the midst of someone’s imagination, I wait for her to come again. She is a few years younger than me, but her mind is pure and innocent; dreams alike. Every night, she comes and sings and dances through here, while I sit behind a tree, making myself as invisible as possible. Dream elves are not allowed to show themselves. They are only there to add that little bit of magic into someone’s fantasy. Sometimes I long to come out and sing and dance and play with her too; enjoy the fun. I want to comfort her when she’s crying, and laugh with her when she’s happy. I want to be with her forever and always, or at least as long as the dream holds. She comes now, appearing out of the clouds, like an angel flying down to swoop at the water of the lake. She has beautiful long hair that shines gold in the light of the sun. Her blue eyes sparkle like the water she is drinking. I sigh and suddenly she turns around to look straight in my direction, as if she heard me. Quickly, I hide behind the trunk of the tree, alarmed at her keen sense of hearing. “Who’s there?” she asks with caution but still the innocent curiosity shows through her voice. I hear her rustle around a bit, and I am guessing that she’s coming over here. I know I must hide, but something inside stops me. If I make it seem like an accident that she met me, maybe I won’t get into trouble. “Hello.” I gasp as she is standing right in front of me; her eyebrows raised a little; her face angelic. “Well, say something,” she beckons me. I try to swallow the gulp that’s forming in my throat. Then I remember, I am a dream elf. I am quick and witty and have been taught how to handle any kinds of situations. I smile graciously and bow. “Hello,” I reply back to her. When I get up from my bow, I can see her staring at me, very entranced. “And how are you this fine night?” I ask her, trying to keep my cool. There is a short moment of silence, and then still amazed she asks me, “Who are you?” But it’s not a rude question. I don’t believe that she is capable of saying anything rude. “My name is Mareo,” I answer her politely. And then just for fun add, “Pleased to make your acquaintance.” “Are you…” I watch as she struggles to find the right words. “Are you real?” I smile mysteriously. “I am real to those who wish to believe in me.” Then I jump up on the rock that is behind me and extend my arm out to her. “Would you like to join my adventures? Just for tonight?” When she looks doubtful, I say with a grin, “I promise to keep you safe.” I don’t know why or how, but at that moment, I was overcome with something I’ve never felt before as she smiled at me. Slowly lifting up her arm, she put her hand in mine. “Just for tonight,” she says. Nodding softly, I close my eyes. And together we dream.

Comments: Yes, I won't waste your time with my excuses, you can make those up yourself. ^^;; It was kind of strange writing in the point of view of a guy, considering I'm a girl.... But I got into character quickly and just let my imagination wild. XD Although I'm not quite sure it makes sense. Oh well. Hope you enjoy! And hope I'm not too late to submit... >_<;;
