Seeing that the royal daughter who rarely stepped out of her palace was guiding these beings that looked like the humans depicted in the texts, the elves couldn't help but stare at them with shocked expressions.
"tahW si gniog no?"
"yhW si eht layor rethguad htiw meht?"
"erA yeht yllaer humans?"
(What is going on?)
(Why is the royal daughter with them?)
(Are they really humans?)
The elven crowd mumbled among themselves before they fell to their knee and recited,
"hO, layoR rethguaD! nrobtsriF fo eht rehtoM,
ekat ym luos, ekat ym niap.
nruB em htiw eniht dercas emalf.
hcrocs ffo ym snis dna tfil ym sehsa ni eht enivid eman!"
(Oh, Royal Daughter! Firstborn of the Mother.
Take my soul, take my pain.
Burn me with thine sacred flame.
Scorch off my sins and lift my ashes in the divine name!)
Their cacophonous voices echoed throughout the settlement, and Rion and others looked at them with curious eyes.
