The woman pulled her hood down, showing off her obviously elven ears. "You're an elf?" I asked, openly staring.

She didn't say anything, just watched my reaction closely.

I felt bad for staring, but I had only ever seen humans such as me. My masters wouldn't let me leave the farm and I was not allowed to talk to any of the workers there unless he told me I was permited to.

"I knew elves were real!" I exclaimed. "My master always told me that none of that was real. He sheltered me from everyone else; he made it so that I couldn't come in contact with anyone. But deep down, I knew!"

She merely nodded, "Your name?" she asked me.

"Oh, right," I shook my head. "I'm Kia."
