A Journey looking for Erica - Part Two

      When he was awake, he found himself in a fancy land where there were many simple but nicely designed houses built on the trees. Suddenly, he was surprised to see that her sister Amy was chatting happily with a group of dwarfs.


      All the dwarfs were wearing tall hats and each of them wearing clothes in different colors. They looked friendly and cute, like the 3-year old children. The picture in front of Gavin was a pretty one. There were green bushes and the colorful dwarfs were moving everywhere.

      A dwarf saw Gavin wake up and asked, “Are you okay? Your sister Amy is worried about you.” At the same time, a group of dwarfs came and they were gossiping about Gavin. They looked curious about the stranger.

      Suddenly, Gavin heard some loud footsteps and then came another dwarf who was much taller than the others. He looked powerful and a lot older than the rest, with a black eye-mask covering his left eye. While he was walking towards Gavin, a dwarf shouted loudly, “Our leader is coming! Please salute!”

      At once, all the dwarfs stood up neatly, gave a deep bow and saluted respectfully.

      Seeing the sudden and magnificent greeting by so many dwarfs, Gavin was shocked with amazement. His immediate reaction was to look at the leader nervously, seeing what was going to happen next.

      The leader walked towards Gavin and was trying to hold Gavin up.  He asked, “Who are you? Where are you from? Are you from the Giant Land, the one mentioned in our legend?

      “No, I’m from Tingland, which is a country on the Earth,” Gavin replied while pointing to Amy, “and this is my sister.”  

      The leader was puzzled because it was his first time to hear this place. “Are you the king of Tingland?”

      “Of course, not. I’m just a student in Tingland, but we have Queen Erica,” Gavin said proudly.
     

      All the dwarfs were surprised to hear that and the dwarf leader was shocked and looked agitated. He could hardly speak a word. Suddenly, he turned to Gavin and said impulsively, “Where is Erica now? I must see her at once.”
