Trees towered hundreds of feet into the air. Their massive leaves and branches gently swayed though there was no wind. For as long as Blanc had been alive, it was told that they moved with the circulation of magic that swam in the air. The forest Blanc was in was dense. No one in the Elven dome bothered cutting down the trees because they were so massive. Instead, they built on the trees; numerous amounts fragile bridges made from agriculture connected colossal branch to colossal branch. But that was only, roughly, forty-five percent of the dome. The rest of the dome was left un-tampered with.

Somehow Blanc found herself again at the edge of the dome, kneeling. Her small, pale hand traced along the curved wall.She was thinking absently; her mind wondering from herbs, home, and what was outside. Somewhere, she knew, was a tunnel out. But the tunnel system had been done so long ago its location was lost. Blanc's skin caught goosebumps as two tiny things fluttered near her ears.

"You should be working, not daydreaming!" Anette hissed in Blanc's ear. Frussia, Anette's sister, snickered in agreement. The small faeries circled around Blanc's head as they continued to whisper. "What will you do anyways if you leave? You're magic is practically useless outside these walls!" Frussia stopped in front of Blanc's nose. Blanc went cross-eyed as she tried to focus in on the small blue thing. Anette arrived beside her sister, and they both managed to say in unison. "Don't be selfish!"

Blanc swatted at the sisters. She knew the possible outcome of her abrupt disappearance. But could that really stop her from leaving? She craved something new, an adventure. Blanc lifted herself from the forest floor. Blades of grass stuck to her knees. She happily wiped them away. "Please collect twigs from the Merde bush. Along with the usual berries." Banc's voice was barely audible. For some reason she's always been like that-soft spoken. Blanc spun on her forefoot and began to move. It would be awhile before the faeries got back to the treetops.
