The Elves Twice a Shoe

The Evening started as normal after the five hour day he had. It was time to replenish stock. He had only enough leather for the last pair as his store went under day-by-day! He could not help, but make the pair by hand, an ole fashion way. His tablet had started to freeze up on him. He fought through the night in worry.

"Everything will be alright" She said smiling with hope in her ear.

"It'll be a fight to be had in front of us!" He reminded her with a frown.

"Why be, so grim hun?" She said with love in her eyes and voice." I don't know how, I don't know why, but we will make it through tonight and this week!"

"I don't know how love?"

She couldn't help, but worry as she drifted off in her mind. Dreaming upon the djinns of old. The genies of the lamp upon the wish they needed as she drifted off. They slept through the day as the emotions drew closer to them summoning something in the distance. The moon had an eerie glow as they awake. They felt fear around as little naked minions danced through the window the glass unbroken.

"What is happening, hun?" She asked low.

"I don't know what they are?" He replied.

"I had a dream of worker's that would come. A enchantment that would spin it out for me!"

Little creatures as free as could be to the eye. They were unstoppable to everyone as they made shoes for them out of nothing conjuring and manifesting with dark magic before them. The shoes they cobbled had special qualities to last, comfort and endure. The time they took was to quick to be safe, but as if time slowed upon them. The time it self was slowing down around them and in front of them.

"They are done!" She smiled.

"How?" He said with a worried look.

"What do we do?"

"There is nothing, but sell them."

They had started to leave, she grew more worried. She presumed on capturing one. The danger of it was they didn't know if they could be in there. The world the elves where from. Huldra or better known as hidden beings was a greenish parallel dimension that was green with tries and vegetation through out mixed with molten magma lakes that made a hellish appearance. A lush land that flowed rivers of fire and water that looked steel like.

"What if we get caught in?" She smiled to him.

"They are still trying to open the portal. They had heard your dreams and wishes, but could not refuse the task even though they are filled with malice. The danger of it was unknown, but they could spare the shop. She jumped on one almost, but couldn't catch him. The danger was unreal to be had. They fled like mice from the light of the sun. Shrinking in size to the size of mice. The elves were all ready tiny.

"Time has passed." He told her "All sold did you find one?"

"I captured one." She smiled back. "We will get them all she looks important to the group, to the clan of them."

From that day on others came to help, but were in fear of the couple for the magical lock the had upon their sister elf. The store became two, than five and more and more. They never wished to become that powerful it had turned into a curse splitting the couple freeing the elf in the end. She wondered if it was ever worth it the prayers to the magic. Capturing of the elf. Only time will tell as another test has been put on her.
