201 Chapter 201: Infectious joy

Elize peeped out of the window stealthily. The noises coming from outside was making her curious. She could hear people singing and laughing. Children squealed in joy as they ran through the crowd. The street outside the building was bustling with elves. She spotted a dwarf or two and even a few pixies flying around. Milethnor was unusually jolly for a place that had just come out of a hostage situation. 

"Is it because it's Christmas?" She wondered aloud. 

But that couldn't be so. The fae worshipped the sun and the moon. They couldn't possibly be tied with anything so human, she thought to herself. But seeing the small red paper lanterns that hung on strings of light on either side of the street, she doubted her reasoning. It was definitely December 25th. She hadn't lost count of the days.
