For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.oh bless immortal298, this is how it happens, mr and mrs elf go to see the fairy queen, she performs a wonderful magical ceremony and presents them with a special egg, they then go home and place egg carefully on a satin cushion and gaze adoringly at it day by day whispering words of encouragement and love, after 2 weeks the egg becomes translucent and inside you can see the baby elf wriggling and kicking, after a further 2 weeks, the baby elf is fully formed and sometime over the next 24 hours the egg dissolves and the baby elf is born. They then need extreme protection from mr and mrs elf for anything between 1 and 3 hours (the length of time it takes for their wings to dry out) They are then fully capable of flight and go to the elf nursery with all the other baby elves until they are old enough to be given the tasks they will do for life (usually making instruments, composing music, writing stories etc) elves are the most creative of the little folk. Hope this helps, obviously I cannot tell you what happens at the secret ceremony, and please dont mention me in your books thank you list as the fairy queen would be extremely annoyed at me and ground me in the fairy forest for at least a week
Pixi, I am so disappointed. I read the whole of your post; seeing the Fairy Queen....magic ceremonies....satin cushions... drying wings... and I was waiting for the expalnation that they both go home and sh*g eachother stupid like everyone else.
Then again, functional morphology of the phylum Littlepeopleodia (including the classes elfidia and pixilia) was never a strong point of mine.
As for the problem of pregnancy being really hard on such slight beings, maybe they could give birth to the spirit of the child, like a kind of transparent form of a baby and as the body grows with the aging process, the body becomes real flesh, bone and blood.
Sorry if this sounds like a really stupid suggestion.
gestation period is dependent on adult mass -heffalumps -2 yrs, horses a little less, dogs longer than ferrets, and littel meeces quite short.
It may be a 5/4 power law - I am not sure. Brachiopod may know.
ergo....once you know the average adult mass of an elf, the gestation period - supposing they are mammals is roughly defined.
