Status Updates From The King of Elfland's Daughter

alveric's quest is selfish and greedy, it is fed on its individual desire and longing to go back to lirazel, but only because she will remain as beautiful, as ageless and ethereal as she is. is he truly longing for her because of love, or because of what she represents?

"calling Elfland away, drawing it further from Earth. And the marvellous flowers heard as their petals drank in their music, and the deep notes flooded the lawns; and all the palace thrilled, and quivered with brighter colours; and a charm went over the plain as far as the frontier of twilight, and a trembling went through the enchanted wood." soooo beautifully written!! omg delicious
