We suddenly saw an Elf dressed in a grey outfit with a wizard hat on and a wandering stick with a gem on top. She looked like she was in a great hurry and didn&#8217;t notice us. Where was she going? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"908\" src=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Shannon.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Shannon.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Shannon-300x272.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Shannon-768x697.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Shannon-676x614.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we could follow her she disappeared. Then we heard movements in different parts of the forest &#8211; so we looked more closely and there were other elves. They  were hiding, but if you looked carefully you could make them out between the leaves and branches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We saw a little shy elf &#8211; she had some sort of crown made of flowers and a big gemstone on her belt- a princess maybe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"762\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Enya.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Enya.jpg 762w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Enya-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Enya-676x887.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 762px) 100vw, 762px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the elves had a bow and arrow and another one  a sword. They looked like guards. They were scanning the surroundings carefully to see if there was any danger. They didn&#8217;t take any notice of us &#8211; so we didn&#8217;t seem to be the danger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"997\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Freya.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Freya.jpg 997w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Freya-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Freya-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Freya-768x770.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Freya-676x678.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"928\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Faye.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Faye.jpg 928w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Faye-278x300.jpg 278w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Faye-768x828.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Faye-676x728.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 928px) 100vw, 928px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Later we saw what they were guarding. It was a hollow tree trunk &#8211; it looked magical and mysterious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"924\" src=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfe_Garde.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfe_Garde.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfe_Garde-300x277.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfe_Garde-768x710.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfe_Garde-676x625.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It was the home of the High Priestess  &#8211; the protector of the forest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"984\" src=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Reyna.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Reyna.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Reyna-300x295.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Reyna-768x756.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Reyna-676x665.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But the priestess seemed worried. Winter had been too warm with too little snow. Spring had been late to come. It had been cold and rainy for too long and that was not good for the life in the forest. What will summer be like? The seasons were all in confusion. So the priestess had sent out news to the Elf Queen and the Elf wizards. They should come to her home in the forest to talk about the weather and what had happened to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Queen could not come, she was too busy, but she sent her daughter &#8211; the elf princess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"856\" src=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Garde_Enya.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Garde_Enya.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Garde_Enya-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Garde_Enya-768x657.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Garde_Enya-676x579.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Queen was also very worried about the things going on in the different parts of her kingdom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"807\" src=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Enya_Reyna.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Enya_Reyna.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Enya_Reyna-300x242.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Enya_Reyna-768x620.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Enya_Reyna-676x546.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Elf wizards had also noticed the changes in the weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Enya_Shannon_Reyna.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Enya_Shannon_Reyna.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Enya_Shannon_Reyna-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Enya_Shannon_Reyna-768x521.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dollsoutofthebox.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Elfen_Enya_Shannon_Reyna-676x458.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the three elves had no solution how to make the weather better, they decided to walk about the country and find other elves, who could help them.
