her had the elf's blood because she had children with a man who was not of the elven roots, so this exceptional ancient magic had to skip three generations due to a curse. Now the magic has been passed on to you, which explains your Father's words. With all the power you possess, it shouldn’t be too challenging for you to face this blood-curdling dragon!”
“Do I have elven blood?” repeated Aldrich, startled by the news. “What does that mean for me?” No one has ever seen elves for centuries, so it was presumed that they had died out. Optimists claimed they simply had moved elsewhere, but the general opinion was rather unified. The gnomes sighed and said, “It is hard to recall them as they have always been so secretive, but that would explain you seeing Jerreck when no one else could, wouldn’t it?” Obviously, they weren’t sure either. The prince felt so lost, but it was too late to turn back. He couldn’t come back without accomplishing his mission as his royal pride wouldn't allow him.
Aldrich, ripe with the passion to fulfil his duty, made his way to where the dragon had been residing. He looked astonished as the menacing cave was cloaked in shadows, which seemed darker than the night itself. Looking terrified, he knew he had to do that, so he daringly made his way into the dragon’s den of terror.
