Chapter 2 - The Rise Of The New Age Chapter: 2

After my collapse all I saw was darkness, it felt like I was floating in a void. At this point i started wondering why this had happened to me, then moment, after moment, after moment, I grew angrier and angrier. Then after what seemed like decades of contemplating this series of majorly unfortunate events, I finally figured it out, there was no good reason for my misfortune. Even though I say there was no good cause there is still a reason for this misfortune, a reason that shouldn't have existed, yes, but there was still a reason. I, as my ten year old self, determined that this reason was something undeniable at this time and age, this reason is, THE HIERARCHY!!!

After reaching this conclusion I grew angrier and angrier, so angry that the darkness in which I felt I was floating started to consume me, this darkness would seem never ending and terrifying to a person of normal mental stability. but at this moment, the moment which i considered my lowest. I saw a little light of seemingly no brightness, even though small, this light grew without restraint and never endingly grew, and grew, and grew. This light was now so bright that no darkness was shown. Then Just as slowly as the light grew I started to regain conscience. When regaining consciousness the light was at its brightest. After my vision came back in blurs, I at first saw these beautifully chocolatey hazel eyes, eyes as deeply beautiful as the forests, along with the beholder of these eyes a, girl seemingly my age and height, she was thin yet healthy, with beautiful brown hair that curled like the winds, she also had a perfect nose with luscious perky pink lips, she was by far the most beautiful girl I had seen in my ten years of life. And when she notices me awake she enthusiastically screams," OH you're finally awake, are you alright, how are you feeling, where are you from, are you human." because of the speed in which she spoke I didn't understand her questions so as to understand her I very tiredly said to her," Hey, Hey, Hey calm down, what are you saying, I've barely woken up. "Oh I'm sorry." she said. While still being dumb stricken I say, "Its okay, My name is Daniel , just ask the questions one by one, and while you are at it, it would be wonderful if you also gave me your name."," My name is Elizabeth, are you alright and how are you feeling." said she. My response was timid and straight to the point," I am not feeling that well considering i almost drowned, but considering that I'm still alive I'm alright." She chuckles slightly revealing a beautiful smile, while gently putting her hair behind her ears revealing perfect minorly pointy quirky little ears," Are you an elf." I ask her.

Her response was quick, short ,simple, and very loud," YES!!!"

Then shortly after, she starts ranting with screams and cries that showed how discriminated against the elves actually were," What are you going to do, spit on me and treat me as if i'm not a living being, just as your ancestors had, do you also find my ears as disgusting as all the other humans in their kingdoms do. "she cried.

For some more background information the major races in this world are the human, elven, and dwarven races. the humans are genetically inferior to elves and dwarves but because the elves and dwarves are more peaceful they have been discriminated against by the humans since the beginning of time leading to wars. Even though the elves and dwarves should have won these wars there arose ten human experts which were the pillars of the war, we called them the Apostles, for these people were born with an inborn mana level over 70, the leader of the Apostles was the one person who had an inborn dragonium level of over 85. mana is almost like what you people would call chi, or inner energy. These Apostles led the war which resolved in a peace treaty, that being said discrimination remained. Even though humans are the ones regarding themselves as a superior species the elven kingdom is the richest due to their knowledge of mana and magical tools. The dwarven kingdom is in second place since they are masters of magical metalworking.

Now coming back from the background information we are still in this situation in which this absolutely beautiful elven girls is pouring all her struggles out to me. I am standing there in shock not knowing what to do, she is still ranting in pain. Then I could handle her pain anymore, at that moment it felt like a stake was stuck through me. My next actions were fueled by adrenaline, I could think of nothing else, in her pain I hugged her, a stranger, a girl I just met, as tight as I could and I said to her a line makes me embarrassed to this I said to her," I don't care if the whole world hates you and your ears, I find you and your ears beautiful and that's all that matters to me."
