The Overlooked Elf
I never thought I’d fall in love with an elf.
I mean, I’m just an average guy from another world.
But when I saw her, I knew she was the one.
I just had to convince her of that.
And then I had to convince her family.
And then the entire elven city of Silvendell.
No big deal, right?
It all started when I stumbled upon the city during my travels.
The locals were having a festival, and I decided to join in the fun.
That’s when I met her.
She was sitting alone at a table, sipping a drink and watching the dancers with a wistful expression on her face.
I couldn’t help but be drawn to her, so I went over and struck up a conversation.
We talked for hours, and before I knew it, the sun was coming up and the festival was winding down.
I didn’t want it to end, but she had to go home, so we exchanged numbers and promised to keep in touch.
So when I found myself back in Silvendell a few months later, I reached out and asked if she wanted to meet up.
She said yes.
And that’s when things really got interesting.
The city of Silvendell was alive with color and music.
Everywhere I looked, people were dancing and laughing, their faces flushed with joy.
I had stumbled upon the city’s annual cherry blossom festival, a weeklong celebration of the trees that lined the main square and the beauty they brought to the city.
The festival was famous across the land, drawing crowds from far and wide, and it was easy to see why.
The buildings that surrounded the square shimmered in the sunlight, their luminescent stones covered in intricate designs that seemed to change and shift with every step I took.
The elves were known for their craftsmanship and beauty, and Silvendell was a testament to both.
As I wandered through the streets, I passed dozens of food stalls and shops, each one offering something new and delicious to try.
I was tempted to stop at one of them and grab a bite to eat, but something else caught my attention.
A group of elven dancers had set up in the square, moving to the soft music that played in the background.
Their movements were so graceful and flowing that it was hard to tell where one dancer ended and the next began, and I found myself mesmerized by their performance.
But as beautiful as they were, they weren’t what had caught my attention.
It was the girl sitting by herself at one of the empty tables, sipping a drink and watching the dancers with a wistful expression on her face.
Her average looks had a kind face and gentle eyes; her hair fell in gentle waves around her shoulders, framing her face perfectly.
She looked different from all the other elves at the festival—smaller and less imposing—but it wasn’t just her size that set her apart.
It was something about the way she held herself, as if she were separate from everything happening around her, an island of calm in a sea of chaos.
I could have sworn I had seen her somewhere before, but I couldn’t place where.
Maybe she was a regular at the bar I’d been to last night.
Or perhaps we had crossed paths at the festival before.
It was hard to say.
Either way, I wanted to meet her.
So I walked over to the food stall and ordered a drink and a plate of meat and cheese.
Then I made my way over to the girl’s table and sat down across from her.
She didn’t look up when I sat down, but I could tell from the way her eyes flickered toward me that she had been aware of my approach.
“Is this seat taken?”
I asked, gesturing to the empty chair opposite me.
She shook her head.
I set my plate down and took a sip of my drink.
We sat in silence for a minute or two, watching the dancers in the square and savoring the warm spring air.
The food was good—better than I had expected—and it wasn’t long before I had eaten my fill.
But I wasn’t quite ready to leave yet.

The girl across from me was still watching the dancers with a wistful expression, and I couldn’t help but wonder what she was thinking about.
“So,” I said, breaking the silence between us, “what are you doing at the festival all by yourself?”
She looked up at me, her eyes wide with surprise, as if she hadn’t expected me to speak to her.
“I’m not much of a dancer,” she said, smiling sheepishly.
“But I like to watch.”
“Me too,” I said.
“Although I have been known to cut a rug from time to time.”
The girl laughed, a soft, musical sound that sent a shiver down my spine.
“I’d love to see that sometime,” she said, “if you’re any good.”
“Well, you’ll just have to wait and see,” I said with a grin.
“But for now, how about we watch together?”
She hesitated for a moment, biting her lip as if she were considering my offer.
“I don’t know,” she said at last, “I should probably be getting home.”
But I wasn’t ready for the conversation to end.
Not yet, anyway.
So I leaned forward in my chair, and locked eyes with her.
“Come on,” I said, “you know you want to.”
The girl bit her lip again, but there was a mischievous twinkle in her eye now, as if she was playing along with me, and for some reason, it made my heart race even faster than it already was.
“I guess it wouldn’t hurt,” she said, “but just for a little while.”
“Of course,” I said with a smile.
“Just for a little while.”
I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was the girl I had come to Silvendell to meet—that somehow, our paths had been destined to cross at this festival and that this moment was the beginning of something extraordinary.
But I didn’t want to get my hopes up.
For all I knew, she already had a boyfriend, or she wasn’t interested in guys like me, or she was a secret axe murderer or something.
Anything was possible, after all.
But I had nothing to lose by trying, so I took a deep breath and forced myself to stand up from the table, my palms clammy with sweat and my heart pounding so hard that I was sure she could hear it from where she was sitting.
“Are you coming?”
The girl looked up at me, her bright green eyes wide with surprise, as if she hadn’t expected me to take her up on her offer.
But when she saw that I was serious, a slow smile spread across her face, like the sun breaking through a storm, and my heart skipped a beat all over again.
“Just for a little while,” she said, standing up from the table and taking my outstretched hand in hers.

I tried to think of something clever to say—something that would make her laugh, or give me an excuse to put my arm around her—but my mind was a blank slate, and all I could do was sit there like an idiot, staring straight ahead and trying not to fidget too much.
The girl bit her lip again, then finally spoke up.
“I’m Elara Thistledown,” she said, “and you are?”
I turned to face her, finally giving myself permission to get lost in those emerald green eyes once more, and this time it felt both completely surreal and perfectly natural at the same time.
“I’m Theron Oakenshield,” I said with a smile, “it’s nice to meet you.”
“Likewise,” Elara said, flashing me that same radiant smile that made my heart do somersaults inside my chest, “so what brings you to this part of the world?Are you here on business, or pleasure?”
“Neither, actually,” I said with a shrug, “I’m just traveling around for a while.I’ve been on the road for about six months now, visiting different places and seeing what the world has to offer.”
Elara’s eyes went wide with wonder, like a child opening a present on Christmas morning, and for some reason, it made me want to tell her everything.
“I grew up in a little village near the mountains,” I went on, “but I’ve always been curious about what lies beyond those walls, so when I turned eighteen, I decided to leave home and see the world for myself.”
“That sounds amazing,” Elara said with a wistful sigh, “I’ve always wanted to travel too, but there’s so much that needs to be done here, and well… you know how it is.”
I didn’t, actually, but I nodded along with her anyway, not wanting to break the spell or ruin the moment.
Elara smiled up at me through her long lashes, and took a deep breath.
“So tell me,” she said, “what kind of places have you seen so far?What’s been your favorite part?”
I shrugged my shoulders again, some of my nervousness fading away under the warmth of Elara’s encouraging gaze.
“I don’t know if I could pick just one,” I said at last, “but back when I was in Caden’s Crossing, I met a bard who taught me how to play the lute, and we spent an entire summer wandering around the countryside together, playing music for everyone we met along the way.It was one of the best times of my life.”
Elara’s eyes were wide with wonder now, like a child listening to a bedtime story for the very first time.
“That sounds… incredible,” she said, almost breathless.
