This is pretty much one of my favorite pages, and a lot of other people seem to gravitate toward it, as well. Fun Fact: A few years back I did this comic, but never put it up anywhere, and that's really where I came up with the elf-king's design. It evolves, though, even in this comic.

Translated text:

"You lovely child, come, go with me!
Many a beautiful game I'll play with you;
On the shore, colorful blossoms grow,
My mother has many garments of gold."
