Once upon a time, there was an elf named Lilac. She had neon green hair and always wore knee high stockings. Lilac absolutely loved to sing, she sang so much the other elves had to tell her to stop because she was such an awful singer.
One day, she was trotting through the woods on Rudolph when a silver flash caught her eye.
“Rudolph, could we slow down?” Lilac asked her friend.
Rudolph blinked his nose to respond “yes.”
The dainty short elf gracefully dropped to the snow covered ground without a sound and followed the shining light. Lilac brushed away snow to reveal a multicolored ornament. She gasped at its beauty, slowly reaching out to touch it. The ornament started shaking and fell to the ground. Terrified, Lilac dropped it and ran beside Rudolph on the sled way.
“What is it?” she wondered. “It is very odd. I have never seen anything like it.” She wrapped herself tighter in her thick woolly coat as the wind picked up.
Suddenly, a beautiful elf appeared. The elf had perfectly curled brown hair. She wore a glittering snow white dress that flowed down past her ankles, leaving a little cloth train. Her eyes were white as ice, her figure perfection and her skin flawless.
“You called?” the pretty elf said in her voice that sounded like a silver bell.
Lilac waved nervously, peering out from behind the reindeer. “Uh, hi, um, and you are, um, named?” she stammered.
The stunning elf laughed; she had a laugh that sounded like a wind chime. “I am called Elfina,” she replied.
Rudolph had finally moved. He blinked his flashlight like nose.
“You are correct. My ornament had been touched, so I am here to grant a Christmas wish,” Elfina told the reindeer.
Lilac smiled. “Really? I could have anything I want?” she said like it was the most shocking thing in the world.
“It’s all yours, but as an elf, it should not be selfish,” Elfina explained. “Elves aren’t selfish, as your wish shall not be.”
“I know what I want.” Lilac stroked Rudolph’s back.
“What would that be?” Elfina cocked an eyebrow.
“I wish with all my heart to have the most wonderful singing voice in the whole entire world.”
“How is that not for self reason?”
“Elves say I should be a better singer to sing all the time like I do. Apparently, I hurt their ears.”
“So it was said, so it shall be. I never met you, I am a whisper in the wind who has granted your wish.” Waving her arms in the air, Elfina cast a powerful spell as she granted Lilac’s wish.
“Woah! I had the craziest dream!” Lilac exclaimed, sitting up in bed, “I had the most beautiful singing voice ever and this pretty elf granted my wish!”
When Lilac arrived in the cafeteria, elves cringed prepared for a horrible screeching. Instead, they heard the voice of an angel. They gasped and listened to its grace.
“What?” Lilac asked everyone who was staring at her. The elves went back to their breakfasts, but still watched Lilac from the corner of their eyes.
The rest of the day was very strange to her. Everyone wanted her to sing and listen. They were always pestering her to sing more and more. Elves went clustering her all the way back to her house.
Lilac slammed the door on her newly found fans and sighed. “That dream I had was like a distant memory,” she murmured to herself. “I’ll go for a ride on Rudolph.”
The elf had hidden herself within many layers and concealed her face with a thick scarf. As she arrived, Rudolph came up to her with a wildly blinking nose.
“Alright, let’s go for a ride,” Lilac whispered in her friend’s ear. “Come along.” She hopped on Rudolph’s back and told him to take the sled way.
On the sled way, Lilac picked up a multicolored ornament and wished she didn’t have have her silver bell singing voice.
Elfina appeared once again. “What is it? Doesn’t everyone like your voice?” she queried.
“Yeah, that’s the problem! Everyone keeps following me and people envy me and it’s awful! Take it back! Take it back! Take it back!” Lilac pleaded. “Please!!!”
“Not possible. You wanted that wish, so I gave it to you,” Elfina replied, simply. “It cannot be undone. You should not regret anything because it was once what you wanted.”
“I know what I did was wrong!”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes!”
“Alright. So it has been, so it shall be undone.”
“Woah! I had the craziest dream!” Lilac exclaimed. She tried singing and the same usual screech came out. “Yes! Thank you Elfina! I will never wish for anything again. I’m perfect the way I am!”
Liac could have sworn she heard a whisper in the wind that said, “You’re welcome.”
THE END
