My hands shook with anticipation. One step after another. My uneven and rough breathing echoes around me as I trudged forward through the greenery of the overgrown forest. Diving into a rather large brush I wait for the creature to pass. Holding my nose and mouth with my hands to my labored breathing more silent. Why did I agree to this?
"Artis! Artis! Where are you?! You promised to train with me! You can hide, but we will run together!"
Are you a Horror movie villain, what's with your dialogue?! I don't want to run with you, you meathead! Tire yourself out and leave already!
Panic turned to relief as the energetic blond ran pasted the bush that hides me. Better to be safe than sorry, I should say here for a good few extra minutes. Laying on the ground to even out my breathing I could feel my heart thumping against my ribcage. This is enough exercise for me for a lifetime.
"Hello-"
What the F-
"- my name is Alex. I will be your personal guard from this moment on. I've been assigned by Prince Alfred Von Elder to assist, protect, and support you. In preparation for your coming of age ceremony."
A voice broke out from above me. Standing there next to the bush with his back straightened, in white clothes, knight clothes, staring straight at me. Looking at me with questioning, curious eyes. He had long ears, white hair, and pale skin. An elf.
I looked around to make sure no one else heard him putting my finger on my lip to motion him to shut up. Hearing a noise from a distance I grabbed this guy and drag him into the bush. Right after I did that there was a quick movement that ran past the bush.
The danger has passed screaming about training with his dearest youngest brother. I think he mentioned something about doing 100 push up and 100 laps around the royal garden.
I shudder in horror to this guy's enthusiasm. I can barely even get 100 minutes of peace til I'm accosted by my siblings.
Looking at this new guy, Alex, I studied him a bit. My big bro has decided to attach a guard to me it seems. In place of a sword was a medium size staff with a yellow tinted gem at the tip of the staff. Wind user. Must have used a locator spell to find me.
"Can you get me to my house safely and undetected?"
I asked in a demanding yet quiet tone. What use is it to be gentle when I'm being hunted. He slowly nodded, grabbed his staff, and started chanting. With that we bother were lifted into the air, above the tree line, and carried towards my manor.
It took a few minutes to reach my manor, were I was let(dropped) onto the ground. Alex then proceeds to pick me up like a sack of potatoes and walk into the manor. Despite my protests he refused to let me down til we reached the foyer were I'm inelegantly throw onto the sofa. On the sofa across from me was my older brother, Alfred.
