Ilmatar | The Shield-Maiden Saga
“Where I though I would have found the fallen dragon, was something much smaller and brighter instead. A lady? No this was no mortal woman. I could see her väki. It was so strong and bright it shone through her bones and skin. Her long hair seemed like real gold, glimmered like metal, and yet it seemed so soft. Her skin was in unnatural colors of soft lavender, cold cyan and warm pink.
It dawned on me. I was looking at a real life elf. The most beautiful one, I was sure.”
