It's been a week he told me about who he truly is.
Forgot to mention what I even look like. My hair white and in the middle is silver with golden edges and is somewhat short rn. But Garrick forced me to have my hair dyed to red. Since for some reason my ears are already somewhat pointy it's easy for me to blend in with the elves. Plus my body is very skinny probably since I been stuck in that hut forever and just been eating so healthy of things. Plus just mostly healthy soup to be honest.
But today is the first day I get to go out to the town. He was the one who dyed my hair inside of the hut so now I can meet other people finally. But I'm still 5 and I'm short so no one will talk to me normally probably but whatever.
"You can't wear that dragon crest outside so you will have to put it in a bag we are moving."
"What are you even talking about I thought today we would go in town and I would help you work?"
"That was the plan but then things came up and well to be honest Tetsu I want you to be able to be more normal….like other elves and dwarfs here."
"What does that even mean?"
"You wouldn't fit in with people if I just took you with me."
"I don't care about fitting in I just wanted to help you and I thought I am normal?"
"How about this we will fish until your 7th birthday then we will go to town and not only will you work but we will move in with people I know."
"Fine"
Garrick starts to walk out the door
"Where you going?"
"To tell them that they are gonna have to wait some time but trust me their is also a elf girl their maybe you and her can become friends when we eventually move in."
"Yes I understand."
So for some time until I turned 7 we fished daily. We also grew closer I considered him trustworthy and someone I look up to.
My 7TH birthday.
"So it's time to finally move right Garrick?"
"Ah yes it's time to move finally pack all your stuff we won't be back here again."
"Ok I'll go pack up."
I go and pack up all my stuff not like their was much room in here to begin with it's a small hut. But at least I still have my cloak.
"Ok I'm ready to go"
My hair is gold and white and silver but it seems like he just dyeing it again so I guess it's whatever.
We went to town where I never been before but we went behind building on a small path. All the building were full of luxury. We finally got to this big house.
"Oh Garrick it's you"
A elf with silver whitish hair oh it must be a royal one.
I kneel down on one knee and put my head down.
"It's nice to meet you my majesty."
"Oh thank you but I am no majesty I am just a count. My name is Yerlato and yours?"
"My name is Tetsu."
Seems like they use first names in this country also that's nice.
"Been a while yerlato. How have you been?"
"I been good I would say but I welcome both of you to come in so he can meet my daughter she has been home schooled for now until she gets older."
I get off my knee and walk into the building on the outside it was white with gold outlines on it and had luxurious decoration on it.
"Hello this is my daughter Harumi"
"Hello I'm Harumi nice to meet you sir."
She bows down to me and Garrick.
So I bow back down to her.
"It's nice to meet you Harumi! My name is Tetsu."
"Alright Harumi go finish your school work then tomorrow you and Tetsu can talk."
"Fine father!"
Garrick did mention before that me and her are the same age she is just a month younger
After Garrick and Yerlato talk for a little bit then he takes us to different rooms.
Mine was huge with a big bed and it was a white room with black trimming with gold ridges.
"I hope this room is enough for you"
"It's more than enough thank you"
We talk a little bit longer than he goes to bed.
This room is better than anything I could ever have. Honestly this new life doesn't even feel real I don't know how to feel about this even yet. But might as well just see how it goes.
Well I guess it's time to go to sleep for now…
