My name is Hero Koto I'm a girl I live in a city called Fiveroth, I am an only child, my life here is not pixies and fairies, my mother is an alcoholic and my father left us when I was five, he wasn't able to stand up against my mom, so he left us without saying word, I've been abused by my mother and bullied at school but I do have a friend his name is Dion suo, he's nice to me and hangs out with me until the day I got hit by a car that was probably only 1% of people in this world who even cares about me and the other 99.99% just laughed at my death no one cared they will forget about me not even remember my name I was glad that I died I didn't want to live in a world of pain anymore.
I slowly open my eyes, I looked around, all I see is trees around me, I could feel a warm embrace they're running from something or someone the person stops, I think we're safe from the being that was chasing us. Someone removes the cloth from my face, it was a beautiful woman with short light brown hair and wolf ears. It was unusual to have ears on your head she gave me a smile and kiss me on the forehead, I think she was my mother, she had an aura as a mother so she must be my mother, but how? I got in the car accident was I given another chance in life?
" I'm sorry but mama has to go" she had me to a man with armor on he had pointy ears, he must be an elf. The woman gave the man a hug and left the the Elf men covered the cloth on my face again and started to run. He was running for hours, then he stopped and removed the cloth from my face it was night already, he had me in his arms and gather firewood, he placed his hand out and chanted the word "Fire Ball" he said it in a quiet voice, a small ball of fire came from his palm and lighted the wood, honestly, it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen, it has been two days of running he would always remove the cloth from my face to let me breathe and then covered the cloth again.we finally got to were we were going I heard some whispering going on he took the cloth from my face once again and handed me to a Woman with long light brown hair who looked just like my mother
"You shall take care of this girl as your own daughter, her name is Arcene" "Thank you Eldar, you and my sister has my deepest gratitude for giving me this opportunity to raise a child" "Your Welcome, where is Mr. Les'tier" " He went out on a warning hunt" "I see then I will be going, I will be back in a few days" "Thank you once again"
I was taken out of the cloth I felt somewhat weird "Oh you already have a tail and ears", I have tail and ears, I must be a wolf then like my mom and her sister maybe I want to do that fire ball but I have to wait a few years or when I'm able to speak or walk, stuff happened I met the lady husband he looked nice, and he cried when he saw me, I guess I must be ugly I haven't seen how I looked like yet "Our daughter is really beautiful" "Yes she is, and as her beloved father I have to make sure no guys goes after Her".
What the heck are they talking about, grownups these days, it has been 4 years since I've been living with these people I've decided to call them my mother and father they may be a little weird, but they are fun to hang out "Momma where is Papa" "He went to the guild to go and try to hunt down that Carin (Toddler size creatures with pointy teeth and long claws, very dangerous) "Momma what is Eldar" "Eldar is an elf who can use magic he is a very powerful elf he lived longer than any of his Ancestors" "Can he teach me magic Momma" "You want to learn magic" "Yep" "You can't it's to dangerous" "Okay, well can I go to the Market" Miss Rosetta came in the room and went to my mother.
Miss. Rosetta is the maid who works for us, when my parents aren't around she looks after me but I always sneak away "Rosetta what are you doing here, today you have a day off" "Well my Brother wanted to meet your daughter he was begging me all day but I wanted to ask your permission first" "Sure you can bring him over, Arcene doesn't have any friends, so I bet they will become best friends in no time" Miss. Rosetta walked out and came back in the room, someone was hiding behind her it was a boy he looked like he's the same age as me I walked up to Rosetta and looked behind her the boy scratch my face and I fell on the floor "Arcene!" "I'm okay momma" "I'm sorry Mrs. Les'tier, Nathaniel say sorry" "I am not saying sorry you said she was just like momma but your wrong she is ugly" "What did you expect I'm only five" "You are not going to cry?" I was surprised when he asked me a question like that "Why would I cry It's just a little scratch It'll heal in a few days"
He stretched out his hands toward me and I grabbed them "I'm sorry, your different from all the other girls in town, all they ever care about is their looks and cute guys" he cleared his throat and Smiled "My name is Nathaniel Kurosaki nice too meet you""My name is Arcene" Miss. Rosetta was happy "This is the first friend Nathaniel ever had" I looked at Miss. Rosetta "Wow really I'm his first friend, I'm happy because he is also my first friend" My mother bend down and patted my head "Your father would be home soon, If you want you can go play with Nathaniel outside" "Yay thanks Mommy" We went outside to go play "Arcene what do you want to play" "How about tag" "okay, but Your it"
I started chasing Nathaniel I was surprised actually he was really fast for a cat but not as fast as me, I started to catch up to him but I heard something, so I stopped "Nathaniel." He stopped running and looked at me "Yes?" "Go inside" "why" "Just go!" "Okay" he went inside but before I could tell what it was It pounced at me with force a WinterWolf?! What is it doing here in this time of season, I tried to push it off but it was stronger than me "Wind Spiral!!" The WinterWolf flew off of me I looked behind me and saw that it was Eldar
"Come here Arcene we have to get to the safe room" I got up and ran towards Eldar I went inside while Eldar was holding of the other WinterWolfs "Arcene! Your okay, thank goodness" "Mrs. Les'tier we have to go to the safe room" My mother picked me up and started running towards the safe room when we got there Nathaniel was already there Mother put me down in the room and helped Rosetta close the door "Momma, Is Papa going to be okay what if he gets home and gets attacked"My mother walked to me and gave me a smile "Papa is going to be okay he is strong he will be able to fight them off"
I could tell Momma was worried too, so I left the topic alone we were in there for about an hour until I heard banging on the door Eldar probably couldn't hold off the WinterWolf I told myself that I have to protect Momma and everyone else.
I walked in front of everyone and I had my hand stretched out towards the door I took a deep breath and Imagined the Wind slowly flowing around in circle you probably have to say something in order for the spell to work I said the first thing that came to mind "I call forth the goddess Gaia, Wind Spiral!!" a big ball of Wind came out of my palms and send me flying back I hit the wall and lost conscious.
Gareth Les'tier
I was Walking back home with the rest of the guild. We were going to celebrate our victory hunt but on our way back to the guild. I caught a sharp smell of blood in the air when I realized that the smell was coming from the direction of my house I ran as fast as possible with the guild running behind me, when I got there I saw a lot of dead WinterWolfs.
Eldar was resting on the ground he was really exhausted I went up to him to make sure if he was still moving "Eldar are you okay" "I'm okay. Your family is in down in the basement in the safe room" "Thank you" I ran inside the house to the basement and tried to open up the door to the safe room but it was locked, I kept trying to break the lock, I was able to break the emergency lock on the door but before I could open the door it flew open I was able to move out the way in time before it hit me, I looked inside and saw Arcene on the ground unconscious "Gareth..." I looked over at Clara who was standing in the corner with Miss. Rosetta and a boy
"What happened here" "Arcene used magic" how could she use magic impossible there Is no way she could use magic she is still a child, the boy ran up to her and tried to wake her up, but she wasn't moving, I ran up to them and lifted up Arcene I took her to the living room and laid her on the couch "Mr. Les'tier will she be okay" "Yes she will" I walked outside "My fellow guild mates if you don't mind can you help me remove these corpses" "Sir you don't have to worry we will be glad to help you" Everyone helped out with removing the WinterWolfs bodies we gathered the bodies in one area and burned them "Eldar did you ever use magic in front of Arcene before" "Yes I have" "I See" I sighed deeply Eldar and some other people in the guild used water spells to clear all the blood stain from the house and yard we finished cleaning the place and everyone left to go home, I went back in the house trying to understand what happened but Arcene being able to use magic was just unbelievable
"Who is that boy?" I asked in confusing, Miss.Rosetta walked up to me "He is my younger Brother" I walked up to him and just for a little fun to lift the tension from the air I whispered in his ears "If you want my little girl then you have to go through me first" "What are you talking about!" I could see his face turning a little red this boy seems like a good person but I don't like the way he dresses, It's like he loves the color black even though his hair is red, sooner or later he might just dye his hair black, It's been a few hours since our conversation, I went back to Arcene and sat next to the couch where the boy was sleeping net to Arcene "He must have gotten tired" "Papa..." I looked up at Arcene "You're awake!" "I'm sorry If I made you worried" "No it's okay" the boy woke up, when he saw that Arcene was up he gave her a big hug" I was so worried about you Arcene" "Nathaniel...You're squishing me" he let go off of her "Sorry, but how were you able to use Magic" "I don't know...I guess just remembered how Eldar did it and...I umm tried to do the same thing he did" the boy's eyes lit up in amazement "Wow really that's Amazing can you teach me Magic too, my dream is to become a mage?" "Really?!" "Yeah, do you want to become one with me?" "Yes, I want to be a Mage too! We can also learn how to use a sword from papa, you will teach us right?" "You want me to teach you how to use a sword" both their eyes were glittering "Yes!" I was so happy that a day like this came, originally I wanted a boy, but we weren't able to have kids, so I am happy that a day like this came "Okay I will teach you guys, but you have to keep it a secret from your mother " I whispered the last part to her quietly.
Arcene
I was so happy that Papa was going to teach us how to use a Sword now the only thing left to do is to ask Eldar to teach us how to use Magic, Mother walked in the room and saw that I was up she was so happy that she cried it was hard to comfort grown-ups, but I was able to calm her down, Eldar was also there "Eldar I need to ask you something really important" "What is it Arcene?" "Can you teach Nathaniel and I Magic" "I'm afraid I can't" "Why?!" "You are to young" I gave him the puppy eyes "Please" "okay...how about in three years I'll teach you how to use magic" "two years, in two years teach us magic" "OK fine deal" I can't wait, Nath and I will become the most powerful mages ever.
It's been four months since then, I didn't know using a sword was so hard, but I was able to manage thanks to Nathaniel encouragements, Nath and I secretly practice learning Spells without anyone knowing, he was able to use chanted spells but I was still trying to get the hang of it since I was able to use none chanted spells which were oddly weird.
It's finally December the last day of the month I can't wait to go to the town square I walked to my parents room "Momma, Papa, can you take me to the town square" Papa came up to me "Why do you want to go to the town square" "I've never been to the own square before and you guys are always so busy, I want to See the town square!" "Okay, okay, I will take you to the town square just let me get ready"
I left the room and went to go change, I wore a purple dress with leggings under them and my hair down. I walked outside waiting for Father to come out, "Arcene lets go" "Okay Papa" He held my hands while we were walking to the town as we were walking through the town I heard someone calling out my name "Arcene!" I looked behind me and saw Nathaniel "Hey Nath." "What are you doing here Arcene?" "I wanted to see the Market." "How have you liked the Market so far?" "It's really awesome." "I know right, how about coming over to my parent's bakery." "Papa, can we go there?" "Of course sweetheart."
We walked, more like ran to Nathaniel parents bakery "Mamma, Papa Arcene is here." His parents came outside with pans and bread in their hands "Hi Mr.Les'tier, and who is this little Angel." "My name Is Arcene. Nice to meet you." I gave her the biggest smile I could show "Nath? What a cute nickname but mine is better I call him Na-" "Mom don't go around telling people my nickname!" "But I like the nickname I gave you its original." "No thank you, my name is perfectly good the way it is" His mother leaned in close to me "You know his name means 'God Has Given'" "Really I wonder what my name means"
She looked at me with confused eyes "You don't know what your name means" "No" "Names hold great powers if you don't know what your name means then you will be weak, for the rest of your life until you know how much power you name hold that is" I looked over to father "PAPA I WANT TO GO HOME AND I NEED YOU TO GIVE ME A DICTIONARY" he looked at me in worry ad confused eyes "If I want to protect you, Mom, and Nath then I have to be strong" I grabbed Nathaniel's hands and started to run, but I was going to slow, so I let go of Nathaniel's hand and started to run on all fours surprisingly I was really fast, faster than me running with my legs, I got home and went to the bookshelf I saw the dictionary on the second shelf to the left but I couldn't reach it.
So I ran into the shelf hoping that the book will fall, but it didn't Instead I hurt my side "Arcene...Hold...on" he said through pants trying to catch his breath "Why did you run like that" I shrugged my shoulders as I said "I don't know I just felt like it, Now Papa can you get me that Dictionary" "Sure" He reached to the shelf and got the book down. He gave me the book, and I ran to the couch, I opened the book while Nathaniel Helped me look for my name in the book which was difficult because this name is not commonly used, a few more minutes later I found my name It means Silver "Wow your name is really special" "What do you mean" "My mother said if your name has the meaning of Silver then you will either be a hero or a Royal, but it really depends on the path you chose" Who would have thought my name was so cool, but I dought I'll be a Royal "I can't wait till we start learning the whole basic Magic."
2 years later
It is Nathaniel birthday I made him a friendship bracelet with a Fire magic glossary I just hope he likes it "Momma where is Miss. Rosetta" "She is not coming to work today remember it's Nathaniel's birthday" "I know that I just wanted Miss Rosetta to give Nath his birthday present, you know what never mind" I walked out the door and started walking in the forest.
I know I'm forbidden from going in here but I want to clear my mind and I'm not going that far, I started to wander off then I started to think how I would be able to master Wind magic I am almost able to do it, I realized I'm able to use it without chanting it but Nath can do it while chanting why can't I "Wait where am I?" I looked around looking for the way that I got in from but then I realized I was lost.
I started hearing and looking for a similar scent or sound from my house but I couldn't find any. I saw a tall tree and climbed it.
I climbed to the top looking around to see if I could spot my house but I couldn't see It So I made a hole using Wind in the tree and crawled in the tree, it was really cold I couldn't fell my hands, It started to get dark out "I wonder If they are looking for me" I hear noises coming my way they aren't small footsteps they are big they were charging my way I got out the hole and climbed higher on the tree when the Noise got closer I could see that it was Big Black almost Impossible to see It had red eyes, long Maine It was Hagon the king of the forest.
On earth you would call it a rare black panther but here they named it Hagon It was human-sized Bigger than papa or mama, It spotted me in the trees and started to attack I dodge it and attacked with my Wind magic I was learning secretly It made a small wound on his back not strong enough to cut through his thick skin.
What if I do it over and over again will it be able to cut through him, no it will take up too much vigor, what if I concentrate on making a circle and spin it will it cut trough.. maybe, I concentrated on creating a circle I imagined it being flat with a hole in it like a donut "It worked!" Hagon sloshed his tail towards me, and it pushed me into the trees I jumped back to my feet and used the new technique that I just created.
It worked it, cut through his skin it was a large cut I started to run around Hagon and throwing Wind Slash at him that Is what I decided to call it he would dodge some of my attacks and would hit me. But I kept throwing them at him It hit his neck when he fell to the ground, he got up but I hit him before he could get to his feet he was moving a little bit until he finally stopped moving I used almost all my Vigor I'm trying to catch myself from falling or passing out, then I heard some running towards my way, so I created another Wind slash to get ready for Battle but as the footsteps got closer I saw that it was Nathaniel, Father and some of his guild-mates "Nathaniel..." I walked to Nathaniel and he hugged me.
