The walk from the throne room was too quiet. Atheline looked around him in awe. He's heard about the dark elf palace but he's never imagined it to be magnificent.
Built deep within the third mountain and the tallest it was a marvel to even walk in. Dark halls with luminous small blue and violet vines snaked around the hallway while others hung from the ceiling providing a lighting that was just perfect.
Beside him Lilith glowed over the light, her grey skin reflecting the light, it looked like she was absorbing it even.
"I need to return," Atheline said breaking the silence.
"No, you will not," she refused immediately.
She didn't look at him but continued as he came to an abrupt stop.
"You know I need to inform my parents, I'm sure everyone thinks I'm missing," he tried to convince her.
She stopped walking and turned to look at him.
"I've already informed them and I do not trust you alone."
Atheline looked at her in surprise.
