The next morning the Elf Delegation was getting ready to leave. Baron and Winston had come to see them off... Willie turned to Winston, "Good-bye old friend. It was so nice to see you again." "Winston, why don't you come with us?" "Now, there's an idea!" "You could travel with the Elves back to their Kingdom....and spend some more time with Saphira." "But...what about your wedding?? I don't want to miss that." "The wedding isn't for another few weeks yet, and you can fly back for it. I say you go with Saphira. She'd really like you to come." "Yes! Come with us!!" "So, what do you think?" Copyright © 2022 Martha Boers

"Could you pass the ketchup, please?" "I love ketchup on anything crunchy!! Winston could hardly believe it! Saphira seemed to love ketchup just as much as he did!! Copyright © 2022 Martha Boers
All Rights Reserved Meanwhile out on the terrace, the dragons were about to start their own dinner. "I was given permission to help myself to the wine cellar, and picked out a bottle of champagne. Would you like some?" "Yes, please." Winston couldn't take his eyes off her. Saphira was just so beautiful. "Here's a toast...to not being the last dragon after all!!" "Yes! Here's to not being the only one anymore!"
Meanwhile, dinner with the Elf delegation and the Royal family was going well.... It was clear that, other than their size, they were not all that different from each other after all... They all had the same concerns... ..and the same hopes and dreams... ...and love for their homes and families. Phairby was also there. She'd not been able to join the other Elves when they first arrived, or attend the official signing, because her Fairy Godmother responsibilities kept her extremely busy. But she was able to attend the dinner.. Everyone was having a good time.... It was like having dinner with old friends.... Copyright © 2022 Martha Boers
All Rights Reserved Meanwhile Saphira had arrived on the castle terrace. Winston had suggested it would be nice place for them to get together for dinner. 'Wow! This looks amazing! How did you do this?" "Well, the King and I are good friends. I've known him since he was just a boy." "He knows I like to cook, and asked the kitchen staff to make some room for me so I could make us something." "It looks like you've been very busy!!" "Champagne?" Copyright © 2022 Martha Boers

"...the envoy from the Elven Kingdom." "Here's to you all..." "May we all become the best of friends!" Copyright © 2022 Martha Boers
All Rights Reserved Well, Winston wasn't about to say 'no' to Saphira's suggestion.. ..and left with the Elf delegation, who were headed to their rooms to rest up before dinner. Lawrence and Baron watched them go.... "So, we'll see each other later then...." "I think Winston has a new friend." "Definitely! I've never seen him so smitten." Copyright © 2022 Martha Boers
All Rights Reserved While the leaders were busy signing the treaty... Willie introduced the two dragons to each other. "Saphira, this is Winston, a very good friend of mine." "And Winston, this is Saphira." Saphira took off her face guard... "It's so nice to meet you, Winston!" But Winston was awestruck, and feeling rather tongue-tied. However, Saphira was no shrinking violet. "It's so wonderful to meet you. I've never met another Dragon before, and always thought I was the only one." "The Elves will be attending a banquet this evening, in honour of the new Treaty, but I won't be going." "So maybe the two of us could find something to eat, and have a nice little visit?"

All Rights Reserved The first order of official business was to sign the Treaty. As a member of Lawrence's Kingdom Alliance, the Elves were guaranteed a peaceful coexistence with all the other member nations. They would have free markets for all their goods, and would be entitled to receive help in difficult times. Including military help. In other words, a pact of friendly nations looking out for one another. Archibald read over the document. "Everything looks in order.." ..and he signed it. Then after Lawrence signed it... ..it was Nolan's turn... ...and it was done. Copyright © 2022 Martha Boers
