    The desert was a place of great beauty, especially on this, a night with a full moon. It was, however, a terrible beauty, because of its remote location, the bitter cold and the wind that never seemed to end, and the acute lack of water. It was, in fact, an extremely dangerous place. But the desert was not an evil place. It was rather, like the high mountains and deep ocean, just indifferent to the passage of men. It was a timeless thing that could be learned from, and which-with that learning-could be safety negotiated and lived in. But there was evil about on this night, and it was a terrible evil that came as the companion of men. The men who came to the desert tonight were men of the worst irk and the worst evil. They were slavers, and they cared not at all about their fellow humans. Anyone who was not of their group was of no worth, and could thus be used, victimized, and disposed of as needed, because they were nothing but mere property............................ Akiko is a tiny Moon Elf long thought to be of no worth because of her blue hair, blue eyes, and blue tartans. But she is now the Endunnlin, a warrior with secret powers who is often called upon to negotiate treaties and resolve conflicts without the use of violence. And it is now she, as the Endunnlin, who must determine a way to stop the practice of slavery at its source, the great silver city of Treesla, which is located on an island far out in the Aregeon Ocean, far from any location from where a military operation can be launched. She has the help of the dragons and her friends, Micah and Arizair, but the city is a large fortress, with many high walls and ramparts, and an Elite who rule with total authority and who have no concern for the humans and elves who they use so ruthlessly for their own profit, entertainment, and labor. It is not a place that can be taken without a serious investment in time, money, and lives. Can Akiko, the tiny Moon Elf, find a way to overthrow the Elite and end the suffering of slavery without paying the price of seeing her friends die wasted in a futile battle to conquer the city?

    All three ships then moved farther from the great massif, and started sailing down the large mountain valley. The Cloud Wanderer was above the Cloud Dancer and off to port, and the Dawn Sprite was just in front of that ship.The dawn was brightening into a clear, blue sky, and everyone was enthralled by the view of the spectacular alpine scenery. But then one of the crew shouted, "What's that?" This cry was immediately followed by, "Ship ahoy," and then by "Two ships ahoy." Several crewmen pointed to the starboard and the line of mountains to the southwest, and everyone stared in that direction. There were two sky ships approaching. Both were black with black sails, fully extended and turned to the side because of the contrary wind, and they were hard to see because of the mountain wall behind them. It was Captain Kapatric who first voiced the fact that they might be dangerous. The two ships were below and in front of three Hualalai ships, but were climbing and approaching fast.They all watched as the first of the two black ships approached the Dawn Sprite and the Cloud Wanderer. Arrows flew from the marauders as the four ships closed, and there were cries of disbelief, alarm, and anguish from the people on the Cloud Dancer. Arwen's were the loudest, as she repeatedly shouted, "My father is on that ship! They cannot attack the King!" The Dawn Sprite had ducked under the larger pirate ship and was now sailing downward and to the southwest-which seemed to be the direction the wind was pushing all of the combatants. The Cloud Wanderer had not been so lucky, as that same wind seemed to be moving the vessel directly at its attacker. That ship continued to shoot arrows, and now everyone could see that many of these contained the bright color of fire.The Cloud Wanderer now rolled onto its port side, and began sliding toward the ground. They all watched in horror as it fell several hundred feet, in a slow spiral motion, while the flames engulfed more of the ship. It crashed into a snowfield with what could only be called a big splat, as snow flew everywhere. It sat there for perhaps two seconds, and then the area where it had hit slipped and became a small avalanche that flowed down toward a narrow valley. Then the ship and the snow it was riding on dropped into the valley. Then the ship and the snow it was riding on dropped over a cliff and disappeared from sight, and its resting place was marked by a rising column of dark smoke.
