Hi! Its me again, Beinreil of the Teinithra Family, also known as "Bein Tein", your friendly neighborhood Elven druid of Westmoss, here to give you an update of my not so exciting everyday life.

Remember when you were a kid, and you started to be fascinated with a lot of things? You aspired to be a lot of things. Some wanna be a doctor, healing people, or a dragon rider, traversing the skies, or even a knight in shining armor beating all odds to save a princess. Some even wants to be that princess who wanted to be saved.

I also had that dream. Once when I was just a little pointed eared elf, I always wished I was a great astronomer who traversed the stars and moons up in the sky. I was always fascinated on what were those sparkling things at the skies at night.

Why am I saying all of these now? Well, for one, I am currently lying at my back facing the sky, and seeing three stars and two moons circling above my head.

Oh, and there is this deer staring straight at me, as if telling me, "What are you doing?".

How did all of these happened? How can an elf born with immense knowledge publicly shamed by a deer in a swampy forest?

Then, lets all go back to the events that transpired before all of these.

After I sold the giant shark at the market. I went to the meeting place Bret told us to go after doing our business. In there, I saw some "Magisters" discussing something amongst themselves.

Half an hour passed and they called my name, along with Shuri and Aldehier. Making us draw a name from a bowl. Afterwards, they told us that we will form a group for the next phase of the test and a guy named "Clint".

I curiously asked them, "Sir! with all due respect, where can we find this Clint?".

A white bearded "Magister" replied, "You can find him at the tavern near the dock.". I have a lot more questions.

In my mind, I thought what a great oppurtunity this is to be close to people.

I mean, It is a group test. Hell I could even be the great responsible and awesome leader of the best team there is.

I gathered all my thoughts. I prepared myself to address every questions I might garner. I breathe heavily, and turned around to my team.

But before I could continue to speak, everyone were gone. My team even left me all alone. I did not even know how long I was standing there contemplating by myself.

I moved on and just convinced myself, that everyone must be in a hurry. As they wont just leave someone that oozes with personality alone. I went straight to the tavern. And there I saw Shuri and Aldehier sitting at a table alongside a dwarf.

Looking closely at the guy, Im seeing an intimidating person. He is about 4 feet tall and muscular built. His skin is so pale it is almost as white as snow.

His whole face is covered with red tattoos. How painful is it to tattoo your whole face? I dont even want to think about putting one even in my finger. But this guy just put a whole lot in his face.

And to top of it all of, he has a weird hairstyle. It was kinda braided and tied in a wierd manner that put emphasis on his tattoed face.

I courageously walked to them, sat beside the guy, and shouted. "Sir Clint Sir! Beinreil of the Teinithra family reporting for duty Sir Clint Sir!".

Almost everyone in the tavern stopped there drinking and stared at me. Maybe they are all fascinated at how awesome and respectable person I am, so I proudly lifted my head high and seriously waited for our guides reply.

I think about a whole minute passed and im still standing there waiting for a reply. I looked at our table and saw them just drinking alcoholic beverages and not even looking at me.

I conceded all my shame and just sat down. Still looking at Clint I curiously asked. "Sir Clint, May I kindly ask when will the next phase of the test start, and all the details?"

He just lifted his mug of Ale, A kind of alcoholic wine commonly drank by people, and showed it to me as if signaling, just to let him finish it.

While waiting patiently for him to finish, I curiously stared at Shuri beside me. This guy is the silent type. And as I look closely at his face. I found out that he is a cat person. He is basically a furry white cat with eyes as green as an emerald.

His stare will give you a sense of melancholy and depth. His ears is the cutest thing ever! It makes me want to go near him and pet him, though I did hold myself back as I am pretty sure he will gut me on the spot if I did pet him.

After sometime Clint finished his drink and got up from his seat. He signaled the three of us to follow him.

As we go out the tavern I heard some of the "Magisters" laughing and talking amongst themselves. I even heard someone shout. "Clint let them live longer this time alright?".

I did not mind other people's taunts as I am already left by our group. I followed them at the gate of the fort that leads outside through the forest.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Clint signaled at the guards to open the gate, and the Huge fort gates, 30 feet tall, opened in an intimidating manner signaling a new obstacle of my life ahead.

We went outside the gate and walked ahead 30 feet before stopping. Clint stretched his arms and legs while saying, "Mahn!! Finally Im outta hell hole again.". "Feels so gooood"!

He has this strange accent in him as if he is rhyming every words in his sentences. Dont get me wrong, I admire this guy for his taste of words.

I asked Clint for the details of the test and he explained to us that for this phase of the test, we need to go to Eradon Academy in 2 days.

The Big muscled sculpture faced Aldehier asked how can we get there. To which Clint just replied. "Mahn!! just follow me onwards ayt.", then he just disappered on his spot and in a split second reappeared 40 feet ahead of us.

The three of us were caught flat footed and stunned of the sudden disappearance of the dwarf before us, that we stood there for 6 seconds before doing anything.

Shuri was the first to react, He dropped on all fours. revealing His furry white tail and paws. As if wind wants to make it all dramatic, his hood was blown back and revealed his feline head to us.

How wonderful would it be to get on this guys back and ride him to the sunset of a new beginning, with me as the main piece of the best duo of Eradon. Cementing our names as the best knight and mount of our generation.

It would be such a masterpiece of a story as I will lead my feline mount under the moon's trail, riding through a bloodied battle of epic proportions.

As I was day dreaming all of these, Shuri rushed and tried to close the gap with our guide ahead of us. Leaving dusts all around my face. I even swallowed some of it and coughed some.

Aldehier was the second to react. He flexed his perfectly proportioned diamond sparkling legs and made it into a squat position, and swayed his muscular arms back.

He positioned himself in away that seems he will be ready to relieve himself right there on the spot, which I doubt he will do. I can even see some of his veins bulge from the side of his angular and masculine face.

And without any prior warning, he launched himself up and forward, jumping to the skies, covering 30 feet of pure gracefulness and adept.

He did it in a way that will leave everyone who is not even a die hard fan of his perfect body in awe of that moment.

The ground shook hard and dust again was left in the spot where he lift off. And for the second time in the span of two moments, I again swallowed more dusts.

Come on people! Do i look like I eat dust for breakfast? It does not even taste that good. In addition, a little warning might suffice the next time.

I saw them getting farther away. So I thought hard and positioned myself to also run. I did not have the athleticism displayed by all of them, but I do have my wonderful thinking capacity to use.

So I gathered all the informations I saw before me and thought hard on who is the best to mimic. I weighed my options.

A dwarf who can disappear and reappear in a split second. A cat, who is basically the cutest and furriest person I have ever seen. Oh how I love to touch and pet those white fluffy back of his. Or, I can be, basically a perfect piece of human and God interaction that resulted to, a being blessed by the grace of unimaginably great and bulky limbs.

The answer is simple, I just cant be anywhere near all of them. So I just run with all my heart, in hopes of even making up some of the gap I just painstakingly lost because of a stupid daydream in a middle of a decision making.

I was running so hard that I kinda close some of the gap between me and the group ahead of me. My tongue is already out, as some of my saliva are already washing the forest grass.

I heard some noises ahead of us. I saw clearly from afar that a stampede of deers are crossing our path perpendicular to our position.

Dont get me wrong. These are not normal deers. They are large deers. At least if you compared them to my size. They are 7 feet long and stands around 6 feet tall. Not including the horns on their heads, which is around 2 feet long.

I tried to warn our group of the impending danger ahead of them. Simultaneously thinking, "This is my chance to prove to everyone that I have leadership qualities."

They will think much highly of me and regard me as their best ally ever!! I am so excited that I forgot our predicament. And in a split second, the stampede is already in front of us.

I still tried my best to warn them. But even before I open my mouth, I saw Shuri sliding perfectly under the belly of one of the deer, right between the deer's legs. Bending his back and knees, and putting the back of his head close to the ground, while passing cleanly underneath the deer.

I was so amazed I can clearly score that 90 out of 100. and I was grinning with joy for the guy, And at the same time, I was amazed with his perfect body coordination and flexibility.

I then focused my attention to Aldehier and also tried to warn the guy. And before I can even do anything. He put his right shoulder down slightly and charged to the deer in front of him pinning not one, but two deers together, and tossing both of them into the air. He basically cleared his path of two deers and rushed ahead.

I was amazed at Aldehier's performance, that i even resisted my instinct to cheer for the guy. I covered my mouth to shout for praises. Then I thought, "I can also do that".

Yeah, I cant do what Shuri did, as i have no coordination nor balance and flexibility in my body to bend myself like a bow as he did. But, ramming a deer. I think I have a chance to replicate such actions, given that I choose a deer that is basically tiny and easy to push.

I can even shock my teammates of my abilities. I pushed my glasses inwards my eyes and observed the stampede ahead of me. I looked for the smallest deer in the group. I found one, and it is basically just a fawn, a baby deer.

I postioned myself to ram into the trajectory of the so called fawn. I readied my arms and shoulders, flexing them and bulking them as much as possible. I calculated the speed distance and wind conditions.

Then with all of my leg strength, I launched myself to the fawn.

5 feet more and I will be on striking distance.

4 feet and the fawn's inevitable demise is at close.

3 feet and I can already taste the sweet praises over my ears for my job well done.

2 feet and I can see the fawn move a little on his side.

And 1 feet as I saw the largest deer in their herd.

It is basically the alpha deer. And to make matters worse, I think I was targetting his daughter. It stared straight into my eyes, as I have no chance of stopping my tracks. Boom!!

My momentum crashed me to this large deer in front of me. paralyzing half of my body in half a second and slamming me straight back to the ground.

Everything flashed back as my head got dizzy and I stare straight at the sky seeing stars and moons on morning like this. And I clearly saw the alpha deer smirked at me before pushing some dust into my face and leave.

I wanted to ask for some help from my group. But, I believe they are already long ahead of me. Leaving me behind, literally eating more and more dusts in the wind.
