Tolkalee shrugged and pushed himself to his feet, dusting himself off. "It's pretty simple really. My race of people are elves of a kind, however we are also ninja. One of our very important skills that we like to keep sharp is our uncanny ability to hide, in plain sight and otherwise. We also love challenging ourselves. And who better to find the masters of hiding than other masters? So we began a tradition. On the first day of summer, we congregate and choose three people to be the seekers. The rest of us fan out to hide. The boundaries are set by the sea to the North, the mountain ranges to the East and West, and Tenegail's far border in the South. Anything within those boundaries is fair game for hiding. In the sky, on the ground, or, for very few, under the ground. It lasts until everyone is found, some situation arises that requires our attention, or the seekers give up. We have someone keeping time on everyone to see how long they were hidden. Right now no one has been able to break the longest record."
