[Alatariel Telemnar]

She rubbed her fingers across the locket, and began to daze off... She thought about her past, her mom, her life, her journey from the time she left to know. There was a flash of light. Alatariel was sitting in her old house, in front of her mom. She was short for an elf, with long flowing brown hair, and stunning green eyes. Alatariel's hair was being brushed by her mom. She was only the age of 15. They were talking merrily. Alatariel saw another flash of light. She was now in the woods, by herself, only 16. She wondered astray from the house, leaving it behind unintentionally. She walked in the opposite direction of the house. Soon she had wondered into a completely different place. Lost....

There was a sudden flash, and Alatariel was back into reality. She looked down at the locket and put it around her neck. She looked around her. The elf that was sitting next to her had opened an envelope and started to read the beautiful gold letters. Alatariel continued contemplating her past. She remembered never seeing her father, not knowing who or what he was. She longed to see her family again, but did not know where to look. All her life she had been endlessly searching for something she did not even know was real. But we put our past behind us, she thought and began to sip her drink. Somehow she could not get her mind off of her past.
