Landsbyen -Into the North- An Epic Poem 28
The elves left separately and reconvened in the safe room. If Rian was aware of Joulupukki's presence in the Village, they did not want to give away what magic he had. When Joulupukki entered the room he immediately realized how much larger it was then before. It was almost the size of a longhouse with strange symbols covering its lengthy walls and a large circle placed in the center with runes scribed in the lines of the circle. DynDoeth had changed into what he thought to be a warriors cloak and was standing in the circle holding two staffs in his hand, one he knew, was his father's staff, the other that looked equally impressive was DynDoeth's own. “Come,” said DynDoeth with urgency in his voice. “Step into the circle. Notice the runes written into the outer bands. You must at all times stay within these runes while practicing your magic. They will contain your magic and keep you safe. They will also keep those of us outside of the circle safe in case you lose control. Last, they will keep your magic from being felt outside of these walls.” Joulupukki, stepped into the circle. When he did so, the crystal on his father's staff began to glow which took all of the other elves present by surprise, several gasping at the sight. Joulupukki looked at them. Seeing the confusion in his face one of the Elders, the one he knew only as Pukki explained. “Most elves of power, upon their becoming an adult, are tasked with a journey that they must take alone. They are accompanied to the mountains in Jotunheimen where each is left to traverse the peaks until he has discovered his Livets Perle, his life's gem. Most with powerful magic find what they seek in a manner of days but some never find it. Some die in their quest. The crystals glow when the magic they are attuned to is present. Each elf's magic is different. That means that only one crystal will react to one elf. It is unheard of for two elves to be attuned to the same crystal, not even father and child. Do you feel the pull of the crystal as it starts to glow?” “Yes,” Joulupukki said, “it pulls at me very strongly.” “Hold out your hand.” Joulupukki did as he was asked. “Let go of the staff DynDoeth.” The old elf said. As soon as he did the staff flew directly into Joulupukki's outstretched hand, and all of the startled elves gasped again. “What does this mean?” The half elf asked. “This should not happen.” DynDoeth responded. “Even the strongest elves take months to learn how to summon there staffs and this is not even your staff. Concentrate a tiny amount of energy into the crystal.” He did as he was asked. The staff's crystal began to glow brightly. Lumi yelled, “DynDoeth,” and pointed at his staff. The deep amethyst crystal was glowing as well and so did all of the other crystals in the room. “Stop, Joulupukki, Stop!” DynDoeth's tone was urgent and Joulupukki let his magic dissipate quickly. “Have I done something wrong?” he asked. “No, no the Elder Elf said, “Let's try something different." He called over one of the other elves, “let me have your staff,” he asked of Joulupukki. He gave it to the elf and instructed him to take it to the outer extreme of the cottage and create a wall of protection around it. The elf hurried out to do as he was instructed. “Stay clear of the staff he called after the elf. Now, Joulupukki take my staff.” He handed it to the half elf. Erlenkönig's staff will be placed in a safe area where your magic should not be able to influence it. All of you,” he instructed the other elves present, “place your staffs inside of the circle and stand well clear of it. I think we should be ready, now. Joulupukki, what I want you to do is concentrate on the amethyst crystal in my staff and using a very small amount of your energy create the northern lights on the ceiling. You must concentrate on the crystal but draw the northern lights in your mind. Be careful, if you feel the magic getting away from you, let it go immediately.” Joulupukki looked at the crystal and imagined the northern lights in the sky. He let his eyes shut as he recreated the beautiful swirls of green and red and purple in his mind, as he did so he heard the sounds of the other elves breathing heavily and making exclamations of awe. Opening his eyes he saw the crystal glowing brightly. As he looked up he could see the northern lights swirling above against the ceiling. He thought to himself, how strange they looked against the inside of the cottage ceiling, and he made the ceiling slowly fade away. Then his mind took another turn. This is so easy he thought to himself. He had never used his gift like this before. DynDoeth stood baffled for only a moment as he saw the display put forth by his new king. What was happening was impossible and had never been done before in the history of the elves. He gently reached forth with his own magic and touched the glowing crystal in his staff. The crystal welcomed him as its owner but did not lessen the flow of Joulupukki's power. He carefully touched the stream and tried to diminish it but to no avail. It was like a flowing stone, unstoppable and completely impenetrable. He let his magic drop. Joulupukki was enjoying the moment and reached out to each of the other staffs that lay stacked in the circle, each crystal he touched sprung to life, glowing bright in their respective colors. He sent through each one a burst of light that exploded in beautiful colors against the ceilingless sky above them and he listened as he heard more ohhs and ahhs coming from the elves around him.
