  “Stand beside me,” smiled Arik. “I will present the Sword of Heavens to you and you may place the emerald in its slot. Be careful of the sword as I must raise it over my head immediately.”

  Queen Lyander smiled broadly as she nodded. Arik held the Sword of Heavens out before him. Queen Lyander placed the Emerald of the Elves into its slot. A loud click sounded throughout the glade. Arik raised the Sword of Heavens high over his head as a brilliant bolt of lightning streaked skyward from the ancient artifact.

  The lightning bolt pierced the early morning Darkness with a thunderous explosion. Gasps and moans of pleasure rumbled through the elves as the Darkness rolled away. The clouds of Darkness rippled outward in concentric circles. High in the sky, clouds of pink and orange rested on a magnificent field of azure as the Darkness fled. Far off to the east, a burning globe of bright orange peeked through the trees. The elves of Elderal shouted with pleasure as the sun rose over the horizon.
