The Carnation's Allure

"An elf?"

He muttered, gazing at the lady's verdant attire. Her neatly tied green hair looked like life-filled blades of grass as her cute face tickled his protector's instinct.

He noticed her fidgety fingers and slipping eyes, a bad feeling encroaching on his soul.

'I hope she didn't recount my story like an epic as she did with Selene's.'

"I'm Lena Sunfire. I enrolled in the Academy of Transformation this year." 

Her earth brown student's robes fluttered as she offered an elegant curtsied.
