Being the son of an elder elf, we lived in one of the most luxurious cottages in all of Elvis. My dad was the right hand man to the King of elves and most trustworthy friend. My mum would always tell me and my brother, "Alex, Allan my sons your father's role was really important and everyone expects a lot from us, and that means you might be in his position when you both get older, but never forget you place in life." My mum was always worried about my dad's role in life, she would always say he acted like he ran the place and forgot where he stud in life. That made me come to the realization, I did Not want to be like him.
When I was born life became more harder, my brother Alan would always look after me while my mum was at work, as she was to busy to look after me so he had to. Especially, when I found a good interest in exploring and climbing. My mum{Anna} is a very busy elf as she works at the biggest bakery in all of Elvis, which makes her really tired when she comes home.
Every elf has to choose a role in life, once you choose it takes you a long time to go to a different path. You can choose baker, farmer, blacksmith, warrior, teacher and meany more. Every job is really important in Elvis and can get really overwhelming, that's why we have our elf magic. Our elf magic makes our homes home efficient.
Our elf magic is the most important thing in Elvis; at the age of 5 all elves will reserve a crystal that stay around your neck, the crystal holds an element air, water, nature, earth and fire but you can only harness one element, I got nature, and you learn how to use it. It is really important that you keep your crystal on at all times, once the crystal is removed you elemental power is gone until you get it back and even then it will take some time to get it all of it back.
In Elvis, there is a really big school called Elf Academia. Elf Academia holds a lot of subject that everyone learns such as spell class, archery, fencing, potion making, forging swords, baking and the usual lessons like reading and writing. I never had the best time at Elf Academia, ever since I was 15 {two years before graduation} I was always bullied for getting a scar on my face and for being gay. I'm 24 and I still get bullied for that, I don't think it will stop any time soon and I'm not allowed to fight back as it could damage my family's reputation.
Since we are surrounded by forest and mountains there is so much to do but no we're to go. The forest is beautiful during the day, the sun glistens through the tall trees, the long, green grass tikles your legs when you run and the small of freshly bloomed flowers fill the whole forest. But when it's dark the beauty turns into a nightmare, according to a lot of elves. It wasn't always like that, elves would got to the crystal, clear creek during the night and would never be scared, but now no one dares unless you assigned to be on look out then you have no choice. I think the creek is beautiful at night it sparkles in the moon light, and is sounds this the moon is playing music with it. But ever since the war everyone has been to scared to poke an elf ear out at night.
Surrounding the forest are huge, tall mountains would take an elf a mounth to climb, lucky enough there is an entrance way for any trading or battles we can go out of but the biggest rule of Elvis is to never leave Elvis without a valid reason why. The only easy way to get over the mountains is to fly that's why after the war the Elf Mages created the mountains and a barrier over the top to keep invasions out especially the dragons, but the only dragons that can break through the barrier are the royals.
The royals- from what has been past on- are so strong, they say if you disobey the royals you will be eaten alive by them and when they are mad they start to foam at the mouth, much more than normal dragons. Dragons. What is a dragon? A dragon is a scaly creature with big horns, giant wings and massive tail which trail on the ground when they walk. But ever since the war, dragons have been our number one fear for the last 25 years.
There has been meany stories about the War so let me tell you the one I heard,
'25 years ago, us elves and dragons were living with peace and love we were friends. Young elves and dragons played in the creek, adults would talk about things kids wouldn't understan {how I wish I was there} but something terrible happened. On the 10th of May 1575 the dragons started to attack. Roaring, screaming, blood of elves and dragons filled the village. My mother told me they starting attacking after the King of dragons murdered the King of elves. The warrior elves were on the battle field with my father leading them, they started to attack but it was no use the dragons were to strong with blood drooling out of their mouths, sharp claws covered in blood. It wasn't until the Elf Mages got involved when the dragons started surrendering. But they say the last dragon to surrender was carrying a small child just a week old as she stayed in the sky she gave a prophecy that, that child will seek revenge on every elf walking"'
But ever since not a single elf has seen a dragon and no dragon has came, but I don't think that's how the war started, I feel like there is a big line of story that was cut of. Even if the story is true or not all I know is that I have to prepare for what happens next.
An unwanted elf and a misunderstood dragon, born on two different sides of a story, raised on two different sides of a war. Born to hate each other.
But one glance, one glow could change everything.
But could one forbidden agreement, one forbidden friendship, one forbidden love change themselves?
