Dinner With The Elssar
The evening was filled with mirth and conversation. The humble Elssar intently listened to each story given by the entourage, asking questions born in genuine curiosity in extreme politeness. It was rather strange, yet oddly fascinating to them that finally, after all these years, magic and non-magic was brought together once again for a truly noble cause. High Elssar Navier did not hesitate to ask them how they felt about working together as a unit.
Dinner came to a close with the aroma of baked apples and cinnamon, and twelve younger Elssar emerged from the kitchen bearing twelve pies, all placed around the tables evenly spaced. Each pie had intricately decorated crust with woven dough and carved floral patterns reminiscent of the flowers within their garden. It was truly a form of art, and it displayed the nature of the Elssar completely. They took great care in everything they did.
As the pie was sliced and served, High Elssar Navier stood once again, a smile upon his aged features as he gestured openly with his arms. "Friends," he began, "I do hope you have enjoyed your meal thus far. We are delighted to present to you our best apple pies, the apples of which come straight from the tree within our courtyard garden. That very tree was a gift to us presented long ago by one of the last Dragon Wardens of our time, Wuld of the Former Council. We have always been blessed with the fruit the tree bears each year, and hope that you enjoy it as much as we have in our time."
Sitting down once again, he dug his fork into the crisp crust of his slice and ate a mouth full of the pie before speaking again to the entourage. "I do love apple pie," he said, a smile upturning his thin lips. "Now, as promised, I have seen your futures, and wish to relay my visions."
As High Elssar Navier spoke, his voice would become muffled and muted as the world blurred. The entourage would find themselves suddenly feeling tired and unable to stay awake. Their lids would feel heavy. Their bodies would feel relaxed. And then they would fall swiftly into a deep and dreamless slumber.
