My name is Ushu, and I'm an Eleve. Despite being 19 years old, I resemble an 11-year-old due to our ability to live much longer. It's a bit confusing regarding our physical appearance, but I'm mature enough to move around independently. In our village, the oldest members are over 300 years old but still appear to be in their 30s.
"USHU!"
I heard my name, someone is calling me.
I turn away and see my father running towards me.
"U-sh..u.. ahhh....(takes a Deep Breath) don't do that again, you left me in the market, I'm so worried about you."
"Ohh... I'm spacing out again..."
"don't do that okay? it's dangerous."
"Yes, Father I will not do it again."
Father Reach my head and pat it.
"Good girl let's go, hold my hand, and don't let go."
"Yes, father."
We walk back to the market and buy all we need for a later night meal. This is Firur Village or it may be called Southern Elf Village. Firur Village is named that because of the Legendary Hero Save the Elf People to the Beast called Haracmadon it's a lizard-dragon beast that had high tear magic that can destroy all on its way.
Firiu Rason the Hero of Southern Nation comes with a thousand Holy Knights to defeat this beast. but sadly half of the Holy Knights were killed and Firiu Give his life to the nation and killed the beast. both of them died in the battle and now the 100th death anniversary of our legendary hero.
The humans are gone on this world, they are now called the extinct, dead nation, or the myth creatures.
"Ushu, let's go home mother is waiting."
"Yes, Father!"
( MOMENTS LATER )
"Mother! Mother! we are home!"
Ushu rushes to the kitchen
"Ohh dear... slow down.."
"Yes, yes..."
"Honey, here's the food that you need."
Ushu dropped carefully the foods and rushes out to the kitchen
"Mother! Father! I'm going out again!"
I rush down and jump to the tree branch.
"Ah! Ushu be careful out there!"
"Yes! I will! I'm going now Father!"
"Alright, Take Care!"
I Fly to the next tree branch and fly again to the next one, I feel free when I felt the wind... I feel like... I'm a free bird.
While flying over tree branches I hear a battle cry not far from my position, now I'm a bit curious so I'm going in that direction and take a look.
Moments later Ushu Arrived on the scene where the battle cry comes from.
'... ! '
"The Southern Orc's and big wolves ..."
The Southern Orcs is our.. let's say security or the greedy once, we pay them for our protection, Southern Elves are weak... Orc's taken advantage of our weakness and becomes greedy of gold, we have no power to decline them.
Suddenly a Big explosion sounds, The Orcs and the Big Wolves Scramble the place.
"!? wha.... what was that?.. It did not come from them..."
Ushu saw flying up in the sky.
"Wait I need to see it more closely."
Ushu hops from tree branch to tree branch until she reaches the biggest tree, eager to see the Flying Bird. Moments later, she arrives at the big tree.
" (Breath Heavily) Aghh...ahhaa.... ahhhaaa... wh-where is it..."
The jet does a flyby near the big tree, so close that it almost brushes against the branches. Ushu nearly loses her grip on the tree branch she's holding onto.
"!? WH-WHAT!? I... I don't see such a dragon can fly like that! it's too fast... maybe it's not a dragon it may be a demon?"
'Wait, I need to use my skills to see it more clearly.'
"Skill! Designated Eye! now I can see it...!? Wait..."
The jet fighter flies sideways.
"N-No way!! .. Its... its a human!?"
'A human has been gone for decades now, I witnessed the return of one of the oldest heroes of this world.'
A roaring sound echoes the area.
"!? WHA- What was that!?... What is happening now!?.."
"I feel goosebumps all over my body." The ground starts shaking.
A roaring sound echoes through the area as a big red dragon appears behind the human.
"WH-WHAT!? T-THE LEGENDARY RED DRAGON APPEARED BEHIND HIM!"
"The dragon missed the human because he is so fast."
' Wait ... I... I can't move my legs.... aghhh.. is this the force that the legends said... '
An echoing voice emanates from the red dragon.
"All of you perish, all of you... DIE"
The dragon heads towards the closest city, the city of Demi-Human. I watch as the dragon attacks the Demi-Human City. The Demi-Humans fight back, but they are sustaining more damage than the legendary dragon. Suddenly, a loud whooshing sound echoes in the sky, followed by an explosion on the dragon's body.
"W-WHAT?! that can damage the legendary dragon!?"
Once again, the human charges at this legendary dragon with all he's got. Finally, moments later, the dragon collapses.
"T-That's it?? that speed... legendary dragon can't hit that human because of its speed... that's is the human power!? It's incredible."
Suddenly, the Demi-Human Kingdom opens its gates and rushes outside to celebrate the victorious battle against the Legendary Dragon.
The human flew far away from the scene, and I'm following closely behind.
"it's like that thing is descending somewhere here..."
Ushu climbed the big tree and looked around. She noticed something descending onto a grassy field.
"(Breath Heavily) Ahhh..ahhh...ahh I found it.."
Ushu starts climbing down the big tree and makes her way towards the location where the thing landed.
' !?... '
"I smell Danger in front of me..."
As Ushu approaches the human, she begins to walk slowly.
' I'm almost there... '
Ushu reaches the edge of the forest and sees the human.
'He is Male right? huh, I feel the threat lowed... I guess he is a friendly one, now he is walking towards in front of me.'
"Hey... uh, do you understand what am I saying?" said by the male human
' What his talking about? '
Ushu tilts her head sideways.
' I don't understand what he's saying. '
"Hey, here. This is called chocolate," the male human says, reaching out his hand holding a chocolate to Ushu.
Ushu takes the chocolate and tilts her head in curiosity.
'Cho-cholate...??'
'Huh?? what is this food? its smells ... good and sweet.'
"Hey, you should go now," said the male human.
'Ah, he is leaving.'
He turned around and waved, saying goodbye. Ushu responded by waving back.
"Huh, I heard voices coming from that thing. I think he is not alone," Ushu remarked, her curiosity piqued.
"I waited until they flew away and vanished into the sky in the blink of an eye," Ushu said, observing their departure.
"What was that thing?" Ushu wondered aloud, still puzzled by the encounter.
Then she suddenly looked at her hands and saw the chocolate. "What is this thing? Is it food?" Curiously, she wondered to herself. She opens the chocolate. "Woah... it smells so sweet!" She quickly eats it.
"It's too sweet, but I like it," she remarks, savoring the flavor.
Ushu looks at the skies and sees the human piloting the flying object above.
"Take care, human. Let's meet again, I wish," she said to herself in her mind.
"The human just flew away with that thing... It's like the speed of rain falling without warning, uncertain where it will land on the ground. That human is more powerful than our previous hero," she mused to herself.
Ushu walks back home, enjoying the chocolate as she goes.
"Why... Why didn't I speak when I had the chance?" Ushu pondered, filled with regret.
The chocolate is finished, and the sun is setting.
"It's time to return home as the day draws to a close," Ushu thought to herself, preparing to head back.
Ushu jumps from branch to branch until she finally reaches home.
"Father! Mother! I'm..." Ushu stops mid-sentence when she notices the door has scratches from a wolf, and it's closed with a small gap.
"Home..." Ushu whispered, her heart pounding with concern as she approached the door.
Ushu walks slowly and pushes the door open cautiously.
"...Mother!? Father!?... Are you here!?" Ushu's voice trembled with fear. "Please answer me!"
Ushu runs through the kitchen, her heart racing with worry as she searches for her parents.
"...No... No, no, Father! Mother!" Ushu's heart sank as she saw her father and mother lying on the ground, her father covering her mother.
Ushu starts crying, her tears flowing freely as she rushes to her parents' side.
"No-no... Father... Mother..." Ushu cries beside them, her eyes closed in anguish. Suddenly, she feels something touching her face. "Daughter... my child," a voice whispers. Ushu's eyes shoot open in shock. "Mother!" she shouts, repeating the word repeatedly. Ushu reaches out and touches her mother's hand on her face.
"Please, Mother... don't leave me," Ushu pleads, her voice trembling with desperation and sorrow.
Ushu's mother is in critical condition, shaking her head weakly in response to Ushu's plea.
"I have not much time left. It's time to pass my power to you," said Ushu's mother, her voice weak but determined.
Ushu's mother closes her eyes, and suddenly, light brightens their surroundings. Ushu begins to float, and a bright light emanates from her.
"Ushu, this power is the Power of Light. It will guide you to your future and keep you safe. I'm sorry I kept it within our family. I'm sorry to leave you alone, my precious child. Your father and I will always watch over you."
Ushu floats slowly down, adorned in glorious white clothes, as her mother and father begin to vanish in the air, small light particles emanating from them.
"Mother, it's fine... I... I love you. Please... be happy always... Mom... Dad..." Ushu whispers tearfully as she watches them disappear. Ushu's mother smiled warmly, her love shining in her eyes before she vanished completely.
"My mother's last smile will be in my memories always," Ushu whispers softly, tears streaming down her cheeks. She cries until the clothes are just on the floor, then she starts picking them up and folding them properly, a sense of determination in her actions despite her grief.
"I'm all alone now..." Ushu murmurs sadly to herself as she sits on the sofa, feeling the weight of her solitude. Exhausted from the emotional turmoil, she eventually falls asleep.
As the sun rises, its gentle light filters through the window, illuminating the room and casting a sense of calmness over Ushu's slumber.
A silhouette gently touches Ushu's face. "Dear, good morning. You need to wake up now," it whispers softly.
When she opens her eyes, the silhouette vanishes.
"!?... Mother!?" Ushu exclaims, her heart pounding with confusion and hope.
She looks around, searching for any sign of her mother's presence.
"It looks like mother did not forget her promise..." Ushu murmurs, a glimmer of hope in her eyes as she picks up the clothes of her family and hugs them tightly. "I love you, Mom... Dad..."
After a moment, she puts back the clothes and starts picking up the pace. Ushu begins to thank and eat the food that her mother made, tears streaming down her cheeks as she eats. When she's done, she wipes away her tears and begins her survival training, starting with hunting deer.
"I think this is good enough," Ushu mutters to herself as she prepares to move with her killed deer for dinner later on.
Suddenly, a noise comes from behind a nearby tree, sounding like something or someone is there.
Ushu cautiously approaches the tree to investigate the source of the noise.
"...!? Three orcs eating a muse..." Ushu gasps in horror as she realizes the scene before her.
"It's a Demonic Beast... A Demonic Beast is a bad spirit that has been born inside a person's body, corrupting their mindset and granting them demonic powers," she recalls.
One of the orcs notices her presence and shouts, "R...RUN!"
Ushu immediately begins to sprint, her heart pounding with fear. But despite her speed, the orcs manage to keep pace. Suddenly, the shadow of one of the orcs extends its hand, moving at the speed of light to trip her. Ushu falls and begins to roll down the hill, her heart racing with panic.
"Ah... Aghh!" Ushu cries out in pain as she falls and rolls down the hill.
As she struggles to get up, she watches in shock as the orcs change their appearance. "They can... change their... appearance!?" she gasps in disbelief as the orcs transform into humans before her eyes.
Before she can react, one of the orcs-turned-humans grabs her hands tightly.
"No! Please stop!" Ushu pleads, fear and desperation evident in her voice.
Ushu closes her eyes tightly in fear, bracing herself for what might come next. Suddenly, a whooshing sound fills the air, and she feels the orc loosen its grip on her hand. As she falls, she notices the three orcs falling simultaneously.
Opening her eyes cautiously, Ushu senses an eerie presence, as if someone—or something—is watching her. She looks towards the woods and sees a silhouette emerging from the darkness, walking towards her.
Her heart races with both fear and hope as the silhouette of a human person draws closer.
"Hey, can you understand me?" the human asks.
Ushu nods in response.
"Okay, good. I'll pick you up. Don't look down, okay?" the human instructs.
Ushu tightly grips the front armor of the human's clothes as they lift her up.
"I'm spacing out again..." she thinks, feeling a mixture of confusion and relief.
------------------------------------Earlier before this day...----------------------------------
On a night, Ushu embarks on a mission to find the person responsible for killing her own family.
"The strange feeling... I can sense the person who did this to my family..." she murmurs to herself as she ventures deeper into the woods.
Suddenly, a chilling realization strikes her: "It's a demon... in the woods...!?... I'm close..."
Moments later, she arrives at the scene, greeted by a gruesome sight of a bloodbath. Orcs and wolves lie scattered on the ground, but one wolf remains standing, and it's not an ordinary wolf.
"A Demonic Beast... a Wolf," Ushu mutters, her fists tightening as she feels her anger and determination rising within her.
She begins to glow brightly with an intense light, channeling her power.
"You are the one who killed my family... you are the one who destroyed my life... YOU... YOU NEED TO DISAPPEAR... DIE!" she shouts with fury.
"Heras! Light of Heaven! Cruserus!" she commands, unleashing a powerful attack against the demonic wolf.
A big golden sphere appears above Ushu, and she begins to lower it towards the ground. As she does, the Demonic Wolf rushes towards her, but its movement is slowed by the size of the sphere, unable to reach her in time.
------------------------------------back to the present -------------------------------------
----------------------------------------Author's Mind---------------------------------------
So That's why ushus cant use her powers because she uses it all to that Demonic Wolf, that's make some sense.
------------------------------------------continue--------------------------------------------
"Did I space out a lot just now? He's starting to move away from those corpses," Ushu said to herself, realizing that she might have lost focus during the confrontation.
"I guess here is fine. I'll be putting you down now," Major Drek said.
Ushu nodded in acknowledgment as Major Drek lowers her back to the ground.
He starts to look at my injuries.
"System, Send me MBT2," said Major Drek.
[Yes, Major Drek, ETA 2 minutes...]
"Huh, who's he talking to? Is that another human? MBT2?" Ushu said to herself, puzzled by the exchange.
Ushu stares at the human.
"Can you sit down?"
Ushu nodded and sat down.
"Let me see your injuries," Major Drek said, his tone gentle and concerned.
The human walks closer to Ushu to check all her bruises and shallow injuries.
Suddenly, an explosion occurs above them, and something descends slowly from the sky.
"System, I received the package. I'll tell you when we are done," Major Drek says calmly, his attention still focused on Ushu's injuries.
[Yes, Major Drek.]
The human opens the box that he just received.
"Okay, let me see those injuries again, and let me heal them," Major Drek says as he examines Ushu's injuries once more.
Moments later, Major Drek finishes the medical treatment for the Elf Girl.
"There, all done," he says with a reassuring smile.
"Does he just do that in an instant? How? That's an incredible healing potion," Ushu wonders to herself, amazed by the rapid healing.
"T-Thank you," she stutters, feeling a mix of gratitude and surprise.
Major Drek seems taken aback by her response. "Yes, yes... I hear you... wait, how did you know my name?" he asks, clearly puzzled.
"I heard you talking to another person, so I guessed your name is Major Drek," Ushu explains.
Major Drek's face registers surprise, and he seems to be lost in thought for a moment.
"Ah... yeah, my name is Major Drek. Friends call me Drek... So, what is your name?" he asks.
"My name? My name is Ushu..." Ushu replies.
"Ushu?"
"Hmm! Hmmm!" Ushu nods in confirmation, her smile growing wider.
Suddenly, a grumbling sound comes from Ushu's stomach. She starts to blush and feel embarrassed.
Ushu's embarrassment only makes her seem more endearing to Major Drek.
"It looks like you're hungry... Here, have some food bar," Major Drek offers, handing Ushu a snack.
"Ah! This is yummy!" Ushu exclaims happily after taking a bite.
"The yummy?" Major Drek questions, intrigued by her choice of words.
"Yeah, I call it the yummy because it's so yummy!" Ushu explains with a grin.
"Ah, I see," Major Drek chuckles.
He stands up, ready to return the medical equipment in the MBT2.
"System, MBT2 is returning."
[Yes, Major Drek, MBT2 RTB]
MBT2 launches and flies high into the sky to return.
"Major Drek?"
"Ushu, call me Drek, okay?"
"Yes! Drek?" Ushu replies, a hint of excitement in her voice.
"Hmm?" Drek responds, curious about what Ushu has to say.
"Where are you going now?" Ushu asks, her curiosity piqued.
"I'm going to hunt," Drek responds.
"Oh, you need food, right?" Ushu asks.
"Yes, do you have some?" Drek inquires.
"No, but I know a place where we can hunt," Ushu suggests.
"That's great! Can you take me there?" Drek asks eagerly.
"Yes!" Ushu agrees with a smile.
As Ushu and Drek arrive at the hunting ground, Drek is shocked by what he sees. There's something different about the deer here. They seem larger and more robust than usual.
Without hesitation, Drek begins the hunt. In a swift and practiced motion, he takes down 10 deer in one go, displaying remarkable skill and precision.
After the hunt, Drek efficiently loads the 10 deer onto hooks attached to a drone. With a whirr of propellers, the drone lifts off and flies away, returning to base with the valuable haul.
"Ushu, go back to your home, it's getting late. I'm leaving now. Bye," Drek says abruptly before disappearing as quickly as the wind.
Ushu doesn't reply, startled by Drek's sudden departure.
"Ah... he is so fast..." she murmurs to herself.
Suddenly, Ushu senses fear and blood in the air. Ash from a burned wood lands on her hand.
"No... No, the village... is under attack," she realizes with a sinking feeling in her heart.
