KINGDOM OF ELF'S
1597 Words
The elf village wonderous in splendor, an empire built on gold ,as we crossed the city gates we where left in awe ,never have I seen
something so majestic.
Well like you thought the elf village was inhabited byonly elfs. elf's a creature created alongside man as an early companion before eve.
God made The first elf with an intellect of gold. The wisest of creatures, but the
elfs rebelled and till day lives alone and away from man as they grew in number so they did in intellect building a strong empire
with a back to hold it. they were the wisest ,the most prosperous of all nations.
They had a pale green colours and long ears
but looked like man.
We passed the city gate where two guards showedus the path to follow it was someworth surprising. if they was anything I knew about elfs was that they dreaded
humans and here we were being welcomed.
we went up the city
the farther we went the more magnificent the place was. This was where trade was invented. you could tell from the look .
We where guided into a temple on a hill where
five old elf sat. they were regarded as
"THE COUNCIL"
Sons of the first elf' El adamiel
They where the ruler's of the elfs
four from each
cardinal points and the FIRST elf The chief of elfs he
decided what was allowed and what was not .He was called"ELARION THE FIRST BORN ELF"
He was the first to speak to us when we arrived. "Finally the priest arrives i thought you have been killed or something of such sort happened to you out their"." you know what the outside walls looks like away from the safety of our village, especially with the darkness that grows within it "
he said to him
"I know of all thats happening, I do not need a reminder ELARION"
"I see you brought the boy, I feared what hope we might have without him"
I looked at the priest asking for answers, but none came
"let me introduce you to my son elthamir (mind bearer) , a young but incredibly wise elf, some times I fear he might be getting wiser than me" he introduced a young elf in the corner of the room .
elthamir show them where they will spend the night, tomorrow before The breaking of Dawn they leave"
"yes father" he said with a bow, this way he said leading us out of the temple
he led off out of the temple into the city.
he was a silent walk, but I was used to not say much anyway,
"you must be lucky"he said almost in a whisper. I looked him straight to the eyes, I thought do I look like someone who is lucky I didn't think much about it, I didn't think an elf named mind bearer actually wouldn't tell what a lucky person would look like
we walked for a while before we reached a huge market ,when two load carriers snashed into each other and had all their produce thrown to the ground.it started as a large banter but turned into a huge argument and finally getting physical, until elthamir stepped in "gentle elves don't let something small like this come between brothers, your decreasing us with your childish banter", he said in a calm voice , the other elves seem to have a lot of respect for this young elf, I thought as we were continued.
I walked up to him and spoke"they seem to respect you a lot" "of course if there's anything elfs know, and possess it is loyalty we may be really wise and intellectually strong, but I'll real strength lies in the contribution of every elf from the list of to the council we believe every one has a place,"he replied
"you call them Brothers, why is that are they actual brothers, and if that's true you might as well tell me that you know everyone here" I asked "this is an easy one, all El fs come from El adamiel , just like every human came from Adam surely you know that." he replied in shock,
"I don't know much about that well no one's ever told me , I've been in crowded rooms a lot but truly I'm always alone" I said"what do you mean, do you even know who you are surely you're misunderstanding yourself" he said with a chuckle
"well you rest here tonight, tomorrow we head outside the walls,he said and walked away .the priest went inside and lay down I sat right next to him hoping he'll understand that I needed answers . hours went by and not a single word came out of his mouth, I decided to get some rest
close to the third hour I woke up and found the priest awake, I felt the need to talk, and this time nothing was stopping me "where are we going?"I asked "incorrect it where are you and elf going, cuz I'm going back to the mornastery, I'm getting too old for this frequent journeys"
you know that makes me more confused, where am I going, why am I going, what's happening, but most importantly what am I cuz I can't say who am I, I got no name no personality no parents I'm just a mystery box for years what hurt the most was not the maltreatment, or the starvation, he was the fact that I don't know who I am" I said almost betraying myself
"trust me boy your questions will be answered sooner than you think" we were stopped by the throttling of horses at the door it was the chief, his son, the councils and other officals
"put these on", the prince said throwing me some clothes, I went in put them on and came back on, it's been years since I work clean clothes.
I got out of the house waiting for the next command when the priest and the chief started a silent conversation , suddenly
a two horse driven carriage pulled out , the prince left his horse and boarded the carriage "get on the horse you do know how to ride one now do you" unfortunately I didn't but I got on it either way" when the horses went wild and I landed on the floor
I looked to see if I caused a scene , and fortunately I did "I'll ride the horse then said the prince " he said with a stretch Ed out hand to help me get up
That was the first kind gesture, I ever received in my whole seventeen years of living , he ordered, "well father I must leave the kingdom depends on me and it's about time I start fulfilling my Royal duties "
"son today you become a full grown elf , you've always shown me that from the way you thought , go and come back " "yes father I shall do my best" he said turning the cart around galloping through the city gates"
" alright boy .......... what's your name " he asked
"I don't have a name"
"what's that suppose to mean, your supposed to know your own name"
"I do not have a name because I was not given a name,I'm supposed to be named, but there was no one to name me"
"ok , that's a little odd" the prince said "who do you want to name you GOD" he said on s lighter base that put me off
"what's that supposed to mean" I asked confused "you really don't know who you are, don't you"he said"I think at this point now it should be clear" I said"well how am I supposed to know that" he asked "I hope where we're going is as jolly as your attitude makes it sound" I said
"if you think that then your your for a surprise" he said
" then where are we going " I asked " at the temple the keeper of secrets was mentioned,who is he I asked
"wrong question it's what is he ,the keeper of secrets was one of the devil accomplises he stole the answer to all the question of the universe, before they where cast down , when they where cast down , even the devil couldn't look at the scrolls , his eyes burst and his eyes cracked so the devil gave him three new pair of eyes for him to use a pair each time for whenever he needs answers , apparently it remains a pair of eyes left so we have to hurry before someone uses it afterwards he would become useless as a human and return to the ashes . and we would be left with no other options", he answered
I still have so many questions like how does this has to do with me , why we need answers from a demon , why someone else could not have gone and more "don't worry ,it's a long journey all your questions will be answered.
We had ridden a couple of miles and got to a forest we drive silently as the trees casted shadows on the cart suddenly a flaming arrow fell from the sky and suddenly a loud cry pierced through the sky and with it rose a fortitude of flamming arrows pointed at us front the tree tops
A man with a good dropped from a tree in front of our cart and stood
"what do you want "he asked
