Avalon
"Nelek? Nelek was my grandfather. Well atleast thats what my mother said. I have heard of Rark, my father told me stories about him. They were once friends. Both of them traveled together. To me Rark was the uncle I never knew." Avalon looked down at the dwarf. She couldn't believe that Dwaline had known her grandfather. She had rarely ever talked about her parents after all both of them had been black as the night sky. "My parents didn't want me to be white. They figured that if I was the way I am then perhaps some of my grandfather is actually in me. Perhaps I am suppose to meet you."
Avalon went on to talk about how she had met one human that treated her with respect. Cree had been the only one that listened to her when she needed someone. It was Cree that showed Avalon that not all humans are mean and cruel. "Cree was the only elf that ever showed me that I was not different. But she left me. I needed her and she needed me even more. Now she's gone and I am once again left to wander this world alone."
