in the deep forest, stood a large building, surrounded with steel fences and vines covering the entire structure. An imposing gate stood in front, with intricate and weaving bars forming the of children. But the juxtaposition inside couldn’t be large, as it was an orphanage ran by the most loveliest and selfless elf’s. The orphanage was springing with life, the kids learned from Formani, a fair skinned and motherly elf, and Leda who was dark skinned and more strict but caring. The orphans were Formani’s children in her eyes. They played inside and out in the courtyard filled with a playground, and other activities. While the kids had amazing maternal figures in their lonely lives, they wouldn’t have a paternal figure, if it weren’t for Anto, the small goblin, who was the handy man, and a nice, soft man with a small stature, a tad taller the the orphans. Who they loved to talk to, hear stories, learn hard skill and the boys seek for a father figure. But Anto was also partners with Formani, and it was obvious by the way they talked, looked, and stood together.

when the sun rose high peeking its head through the window of the kids bedrooms, they all began to get out of bed, some with fresh awakened vigor, and others lazily slipping their slippers on the wrong foot. As they all headed downstairs, with chatter, and light giggles, their small steps creaking the oak, wooden floorboards leading into the dining hall, with two long tables filled with fruit, veggies, and pancakes. “Morning children, come and eat your breakfast” said Leda with a cold tone, but the end of her lips tugged back. As some of the kids plopped themselves down, a familiar feeling filled their stomach, fluttering when they saw Formani in an adorable, flower apron, “Oh good morning my Sweet little angels!” she said with such enthusiasm, and graze as she ran and hugged each single one, followed with a kiss on their forehead or cheek, causing the room to fill with giggles and went to eat.
