Adam has been at the castle for two weeks now and I still haven't figured out how he managed to shimmer. He is definitely the same age as Serena, because hey grew up together. Us elves age faster in our youth, and when we reach one hundred we stop ageing, until we are around eight hundred, then we start ageing again, slowly, getting grey and sluggish. I am nearly five hundred but I don't look a day over thirty. Adam looks just like a teenager, he still has a lot of growing up to do, physically and mentally. His training is going well, him and the few other humans we have in the army train with us everyday, they are slower and tire much quicker than us, but Adam holds his own. Some of the elf warriors have noticed that he harbors some contempt for me, it's not really that hard to notice,
