    About this ebook

    Could it be true that Humans and Elves are distant cousins? If so, here is the story of what could have happened in the evolution of our Earth and what could be happening today.

    In this first Volume in the Trilogy, about a troupe of Elves named the Gemstone Elves,
    You will find out how these Elves came to America with explorers many years ago and why they chose to avoid Humans.

    You will meet Beryl, a young and curious Gemstone Elf who looks different from the others and has a different feeling toward Humans. He likes and is intrigued by them!

    You will meet Jasper, Beryl's best Buddy who carries the traditional view of Humans by the Elves... one that says to avoid the Humans at all cost -- even moving...

    What Beryl does is alarming to the other Elves -- he ventures into the Human World and even befriends a young Human Girl.

    What does he learn about the Human World?

    What happens to him and his Troupe?

    Come along and find out for yourself -- what fun!

      Tales of the Gemstone Elves Volume One Beryl's Journey - Patricia Elizabeth Bennett

      Chapter One

       Irelynn's World

      It is the Spring of 1955 in a sunny, flat land near the ocean.

      There is a large Orchid Tree growing by a path where Children walk to school. Bright pink blossoms cover the tree branches and underneath are dark, shady, hollow spaces. The sweet scent of flowers fills the air, hinting of magic, but no Human has discovered that this is the nursery for the Children of the Gemstone Elves.

      Beryl and his Buddy Jasper

      Two of the younger Elves, Beryl and Jasper, peer out from their perch among the high branches. Beryl’s gold jacket and hat sparkle in the Sun while Jasper’s red vest and hat hide in the shadows. Dressed in green from head to foot, except for their jackets and the tips of their hats, they look very much like the leaves.

      Remember what our Elders told us, Beryl. We are supposed to be wary of Humans and make sure they don’t see us, Jasper says, tucking his head back under a leaf.

      But I think they are curious, Beryl says, leaning farther out from the tree… watching the Children walk by… his brown hair so bushy and long, it’s almost covering his eyes.

      Today, as he is watching the Children, something special happens.

      There she is, he thinks as he sees the young, blonde-haired Girl who always stops and stares up into the tree. His heart skips a beat.

      What is that up in the Tree?

      Come on, Irelynn… hurry or we’ll be late for school, her older Sister calls out to her.

      Irelynn keeps on staring, though, as if she knows there’s something magical up there.

      She’s in the first grade of school, and everything is new and exciting. She follows her big Sister who is in the fifth grade and has the job of watching out for her.

      Beryl can’t wait to watch for her every day. He can see the wonderment in her eyes. She’s looking at me, he thinks, but I know most Humans can’t see Elves. She can’t see me, can she? Her eyes are soft and she’s smiling. She doesn’t seem scary. She might be able to see our World, he thinks. I wonder what her World is like? Then he gets an
