Fantastical Faralee

For The Forest of Faralee, when the season turns to autumn, the leaves change color from green, to red/yellow/orange/purple. They fall down with the wind and rain normally, and when they do, they stay on the ground, until the very  last one falls. When the last one falls the forest senses it, and during that night the magic of the forest puts the leaves all back on the trees, with all their vibrant colors still. They stay there all winter, and even when there's huge gusts of wind and intense snowstorms, the leaves do not leave the trees. When the time comes in spring for new ones to grow, they suddenly disappear during the night once again, leaving time and room for new ones to grow. The leaves start to change colors in the month of Windfall, sometimes late Brightfrost. (See earlier post) Pictures of the leaves in the Forest of Faralee down below. Beautiful leaves up above. A secret path in the woods. A leaf that has fallen.

  Another picture that reminds me of a place in the Forest of Faralee.  By the way, feel free to comment on any posts anytime you would like to! :)

Sam's longbow and quiver with some arrows he uses, lying on the forest floor. His arrows usually have yellow fletching, so these are not specifically his. Just ones he has to use at some point. (Sam Rejes is the main character in the books.) See the post called "Samuel Valor Rejes" to learn more about him and his life. 

Fanor is a young elf living in the Forest of Faralee. His family is nothing special, they're just normal elves living in the city. The only thing relatively unique about the Cenners is that they're good friends with the elves' Warrior's Master, Emo Eellee. Fanor is a warrior's apprentice and is a quick learner when it comes to fighting, whether it's with his fists or his sword and shield. The Warrior branch that he trains in is called the Lion. (You can see the post about the guilds to see what that means.) One of Fanor's best friends is Noriel Deckrien, the two grew up together and he has known her for a very long time. But when Sam and Sophie enter Faralee, Fanor immediately becomes great friends with Sam, and soon over time, with Sophie as well. In Fanor's first year training as a warrior he went exploring in some caves on the coast of Faralee, and in one of the caves he had found a special sword. The sword was a normal steel sword, but also magical. ...

Sophie is the younger twin sister of Samuel Rejes, who is the main character in the Forest of Faralee book. She is sixteen years old, and has lived on the streets of the city Clapcot in the country Ellmathaw with her brother since she was 8. Her parents died in a fire at their house when she was 8 and ever since then Sophie has been able to summon fire. For nine years whenever she was upset she would have seizures and fire would shoot from her hands and eyes etc. Engulfing and burning everything around her. That was until she and Sam enter the Forest of Faralee and they discover that she is a burner , the branch in the wizard guild that controls fire. It is very rare for humans to be able to wield magic, so many things about Sophie are mysterious. Such as why can she wield magic?  That is something she has yet to find out herself... As soon as she and her brother enter the forest, she becomes instant best friends with one of the elven princesses, that's, Princess Carla Dane.  ...

  You are mine I am yours. Just like the stars we both adore. The bad times are gone, only we remain. And away is our every bane. Stay with me darling, stay with me forever. Or at least until we all feel better. Only our love will be our guide. And a shooting star our only ride. Stay with me darling, stay with me forever. Or at least until we all feel better.

  Comment what you think down below... about the story, sense there definitely needs to be some spelling changes and it hasn't been edited yet... I will be posting little by little of the book now, Prologue   The wind blew in the man’s face, making him shiver in the cold, as he made his way through the brightly lit cave. One of his men had reported that the master had wanted to see him. Even being far underground in the secret caves could not block the wind from getting to them. Yes, the rain could not reach them there. But the powerful wind could. Asklif and his men were hiding in the caves far below the surface of Faralee, where only a few special people would know to look. Asklif stopped when he reached a tall bonfire far from the other fires. Standing in front of the fire with his back to Asklif was his master the Superior Alpha of their group. The Alpha was dressed in all black, and topped it off with a dark cowl covering his head. “I hear you bring news… Scarface...

This type of armband is called a Lapha. Only wizards have them, it helps harvest and control their power. Each Lapha, has a word on it that indicates the owners branch in the wizard guild.  For Burners its Flames. Tiders its Waves. And Gliders its Gust. Every wizard's Lapha is designed for the persons personality, and interest. Every elf have its own personal color symbol, and has a jewel of that color. The character of Sophie's jewel is a purple color, shown in the picture. In the first picture there are four sequins. Those four identify how many years she has been an apprentice.  Every wizard's Lapha has their initials on it. This one is SSR. Sophie Rose Rejes.  There is a string hanging from the armband. Tied to that string every wizard has three or four of their alakrie's (word for Pegasus) feathers. Sophie's alakrie's name is Beroke, (meaning Silver), with hot pink colored feathers. Tied to the string with the feathers, is the wizards small luck charm/ke...

The Forest of Faralee is a magical forest set in a continent called Ellmathaw. It's right outside of Ellmathaw's capitol city, Clapcot.  Faralee is home to the elves, that rule the kingdom, it's also home to the Alakrie, (pegasi), Nenlings, (giant snakes), and the Lilharie pack, (a pack of white wolves).  Everything thing in Faralee is magical, from the trees to the creatures.  Around the forest is a magical barrier called the Sheal. Normal animals from other parts of Ellmathaw can pass through it, but humans cannot. The Sheal hides things that go over the trees, such as the palace of the elves, called Thunder Palace. In the autumn the leaves turn color, and fall from the trees, but the next day after all of the leaves have all fallen they are back on the trees. They stay colorful and on the trees all throughout the winter.  One side of Faralee is a beach that is at the sea, and there lives the Nepheny (water spirits that take the form of horses). They are playful t...

" You can't hide power, because it shows itself in your  actions". (quote by Princess Carla Dane). Carla is one of the two elven princesses of Faralee.  Her older sister is Princess Jemier, and her mother and father are King Harwen, and Queen Areona. Carla is described to be a tomboy, she often skips out on royal meetings my sneaking out through the Vent, (the magical tunnel out of the castle using the tunnels underground). She has sun-streaked blond hair, and intense gray eye's, just like her father. She is also very short in height, standing at 4 feet and 11 inches tall. Carla is a tider wizard, and is very powerful with the water. When Sophia and Sam Rejes arrive in the forest she and Sophie instantly become bestfriends.  Carla is very scared of heights, except for when she is riding her alakrie ( a Pegasus) mount through the clouds, her alakrie's name his Mera (meaning ash) as her hide is a gray color.  She usually feels like she doesn't get taken s...

The girl sat cross legged on the cave floor, the boy Kinz sat across from her, they were both young, only the age of nine . "Come on you can do it, if you don't they will kill us" he said, the girl shook her head "They won't my mother would never allow it, besides they need us, and I can't" she answered.  He rolled his pale eye's, "Oh you would be surprised, besides you can Star you can. You have to" he replied using her nickname.  She closed her eye's and scrunched up her face, after a while of concentrating she opened her big eye's again, "I can't" she repeated. Kinz sighed, he waved his arm's around, this way and that way. Glowing yellow stripes appeared where his arm's had just been, it was a magic spell of confusion, made to distract your enemies eye's so they couldn't hit you. Kinz snapped his fingers and a glowing yellow wall swept over him blocking the boy from her view. When the wall was finall...

Samuel Valor Rejes is the main character in the Forest Of Faralee series, he is a human boy that is sixteen years old in the first book. He is tall for his age with short curly dark brown hair, and blue eye's the color of the ocean, with a small amount of freckles on his nose, and dimples on his cheeks. His twin sister is Sophia Rejes , the siblings are very close, because when they were eight years old their parents died in a fire, so for nine years all they had was one another. They live in the streets of Clapcot city, (capitol of the land Ellmathaw ). Sam steals food and, hunts illegally in the King's Woods to keep he and Sophia alive. As soon as Sam enters Faralee, the realm of the elves he feels a strange sense of belonging, and like he was coming home. At the end of the first book he becomes a scout's apprentice, as he has a natural skill with a bow, and has been hunting sense he was nine.  Sam is deathly scared of fire because he was there when his parents died, and ...

Clangs echoed through the cavern, as two figures covered in black clothes circled each other, swords pointed towards one another. "Keep your sword up!" a clear voice shouted above the noise, the voice did not come from one of the figures but somewhere in the corners of the cavern where there was no light. One of the figures charged at the other, and they clashed together, the way they moved they were both obviously girls. The girl who had charged knocked the other's sword clear out of her hand and it skidded across the cave floor. "Stay focused!" came the voice again, "Hold on" the girl without the sword shot back, she dove to the side towards the sword. She snatched the sword while in a summersault and stood holding it high above her cloaked head. A laugh could be heard from her hood as she did it "You won't win" the other girl said snarling. "Come at me than" the first girl mocked her, with a yell the other charged, the first ...

The girl ran blindly through the dark forest, branches and weeds whipped her face and arms hard. Tears sprang down from her eyes, and fell down onto the dead leaves underneath her feet, as the cowl of her cloak flew off her head, and blond hair flew out behind her. A horn sounded behind her, loud and clear, this is it thought the girl. They're going to catch me, and it will all have been for nothing . The hunt was coming after her not far behind, she had to leave after seeing what her family truly was, what they all stood for...What she had stood for. The sixteen year old girl reached a dark valley, and ran down it, waiting at the bottom of it was a pool of dark water. The Shadowmoon. She crouched down, placing her hand, palm down on the cold black water, it rippled underneath her touch and a wispy black horse leaped out of the water. The horses red eyes flickered from the bright fire inside them, Sorcerer , was the horses name. He was a shadowspirit, made from pure shadows. ...

Darkness surrounded the young girl as she ran through the cavern, kicking up dust behind her, the girl was young only the age of seven. She felt the ground move underneath her bare feet, as snakes and spiders scattered, the girl finally stopped to catch her breath. She looked around in fear, her glowing green eyes wide, "Ma da?" she called "Where are you?", there was no comforting answer in the blackness only the squeal of bats. The child shuddered and collapsed to the ground, one thing she hated was bats. All she remembered was her mother telling her it would be alright, than a rough voice had said "Its time", than darkness... Tears streamed down her cheeks, she was alone. Utterly alone. Choking on tears the girl recalled her mom drilling into her, never to cry because it was weak. Furiously she wiped the tears off her face, there was a rustling noise like a creature coming towards her, she shut her eyes tight and pinched her arm, hoping that it was all j...

These are some pictures that remind me of the Forest, Faralee. Just pretty pictures of the woods that give me the elvish kingdom's vibe. Refer to my other post I have about Faralee on this blog to know what it is and what it's all about! :)

Thick snowflakes fell down from the cloudy sky, as four figures, all dressed in black trudged through the knee deep snow. Two of the people were tall, clearly adults, while the other two were very short. Young children by the looks of it, "Where are we going?" asked one of the children in a high pitched voice that marked it as a girl. The girl tripped and fell into a deep snow drift, the adult figures didn't even turn to help her, but kept on walking. It was the other child that helped her up and brushed the snow off her wool cloak.  "You shall see soon" came a raspy voice from the hood of the tallest person. "I want to go home" the girl said, shivering from the freezing weather in the blizzard, even though she new her home was to far away to go back to. "Be quiet, we are almost there" the adult that had not spoken yet snapped. "Almost where?' asked the other child, by the voice this one was a boy, not much older than the young girl....
