--Three Months Earlier--

-Zuri POV-

Today will be my first day at a human's school. Mother came to this town to open a store. She run a trade company that have branch stores throughout Erde. She wanted to set up a shop to get cheaper human goods. She a beautiful woman with flowing hair. Father stay back at home watching over management of mother's company.

"Zuri it time for schools don't be late" (Mother)

"Mom why do we have to wear these weird clothes that human made" (Zuri)

"Cause humans find our clothes weird" (Mother)

"Still hate it. I'm leaving" (Zuri)

"That fine just try to get along with the humans" (Mother)

"I will try to be nice but if those humans start it I will finsh it" (Zuri)

"Don't harm any kids. We will behere a few years." (Mother)

I exit the house for the school. The human teacher was a nervous wreck. During lunch those human kids group up. There were two that the kids stay away from. The boy and girl weren't talking to each just enjoy the company. School was over with no one trying to talk to me well until the girl did.

"Why are you blue? Are you sick?" (Karl)

"Eh? have you heard of elves before" (Zuri)

"Little, pointy ears forest people right." (Karl)

"That rude my race survive in the desert and elves are proud hunters" (Zuri)

"Sorry, your interesting. Silas like interesting things" (Karl)

"Hu.....h" (Zuri)

"My name is Karl and yours" (Karl)

"I'm Zuri" (Zuri)

The girl was dragging me out of the school. Outside there was that boy she was eatting with.

"Karl whom is that with you" (Silas)

"Her name is Zuri and I invited her cause she look weird" (Karl)

"Karl that just mean. You are Silas. I heard lots about you from Karl. You human may thing I'm weird but this is my groups normal" (Zuri)

"She right Karl what you said was mean. If I'm not mistaken Zuri you are a Xerocole Elf right?" (Silas)

"Correct I am. Silas, Karl please stop describing me as a girl. Elves don't have a gender up till one go through metamorphosis when they turn 100." (Zuri)

"So how old are you now? Are you going to a man or woman" (Karl)

"94, It not a choice. it base on the population around me. If there a lot of women I'll be a man. At the sametime If there a lot of men I'll be a woman" (Zuri)

"So Elves are natural harem seekers" (Silas)

"WHAT, that's too mean Silas. Anyways what were you guys planning to do?" (Zuri)

""Nothing"" (Silas/Karl)

"Then why not show me around this village I'm new" (Zuri)

"You want to been see by us. We are outsiders in this village." (Silas)

"I'm an elf living a human village" (Zuri)

"I understand let go." (Silas)

This Silas feel like an elder near the end of their life. We went to the the center of the village. It was a dirt road that cross. He told me about this village that was the size of a town. It was sad to hear that Karl was an orphan. We went to Silas' home that was a inn. Cause we can't go to Karl favorite spot.

So we run down the west road. Then turn into the back roads with lefts and right. As we ran I could hear the other humans with the one directed to Silas 'False Blood', 'Bastard Child', or 'Demon Prince'. Then the one directed to Karl with 'Murderer' or 'Curse Child'. I wanted to say something to them but it can wait. They were well unlike in this village. We stop at a three stories building.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

A young woman greet us at the door. This woman was Silas' mother. She was okay with me being a elf. There was a customer at the inn that didn't like her. We went up stairs to the second door. This was Silas room just a normal plain room. There was a box of toys and a box of weapons. His grandpa was training him as an adventurer. We sit down on the rug in middle of the room.

"Zuri you have a face like you want to say something" (Silas)

"What the hell was that with all those people saying mean thing to the both of you." (Zuri)

"We're dislike here the names directed to come from the hero loyalist. My father was the former hero. He stop in this village once then spend the night with mom. The 'False Blood' come from outsiders and 'Bastard Child' is use by the villagers. 'Demon Prince' is come from neighbors that think I don't act like a child." (Silas)

"Silas, let me say the name use for me come from my ability that cause my parents death." (Karl)

"I see, realy sorry to hear" (Zuri)

"It's okay it would had be brought up sooner or later" (Karl)

"So what to do? I have toys, books, or games we can play" (Silas)

We ended up playing chess for hours. His grandpa walk me and Karl home about sunset. Karl was first to return cause the orphanage was closer to the inn.

"So old human that Silas is a odd one" (Zuri)

"That for sure I didn't teach him anything. All I did was build up his strength. He observing everything that peolpe around him without being distracted. When injured he wouldn't cry and care for himself. I even think he treat Karl like a pet. Silas would take her into the woods as bait to lure in belluas." (Silas' Grandpa)

"That awful I have to protect her. He may end up killing her" (Zuri)

"You can try. Truth Sena want the two marry in the future. Also Silas never put her in any real danger" (Silas' Grandpa)

"You make him sound normal" (Zuri)

"We were expecting a odd child to being with so all weird behaviors we line as just is" (Silas' Grandpa)

"Whatever this is my home old human" (Zuri)

"See you next time elf." (Silas' Grandpa)

I walk into the house I will never call this place home. Mom was in the kitchen cooking dinner. She turn to look at me.

"Zuri you return late" (Mother)

"I was with two humans that where fun" (Zuri)

"That is great dinner is about ready go wash up" (Mother)

"Yes mom." (Zuri)

With that I wash up for dinner. Then went to bed after. The next few weeks were while fun with the two. In the morning I walk to the orphanage to get Karl. She have three ways acting around people. The anyone she will look down and answer yes or no. With me, mother, and Silas' family shes a more outspoken naive kid like any other. Then when Silas is around she get super nevous and try to speak. She have a crush on him I want to help her with that.

Silas is a big mystery lot of the time he act superior to others more then us. He was really obedient with his family but like a look like he was judging them. Then with Karl and I mostly he look bored. When he act like the leader this cause a crash of our ego that Karl will break us up. Then the times he find something that interest him. He get a look of joy like the kid he is.

The Teacher want us to write about a point of history and a fact we find interesting. Karl's was on the being of things, mine was on the Exodus era, and Silas was a story about the Demon Lord the last Hero kiiled. It was odd to do something like that. After he left I talk to Karl about this obvious crush she have.

"Why not tell him you like him already Karl" (Zuri)

"But that will be going to fast and childhood romance never end well and...." (Karl)

"Your scared too, is it cause of rejection, a break up, or is it cause of he may leave when he come to age" (Zuri)

"Silas was never fond of this village. I'm sure he will leave. Those are not the reason, it cause I don't know what I want after coming of age" (Karl)

"Yea that's a tough one. Mom & I will leave earth about that time. We elves with long life don't come of age til our 100's year" (Zuri)

"I wish I had that time to find the answer to my questions. Well... I have to head home too bye see you at school" (Karl)

"Whatever, bye" (Zuri)

Karl left the house in a hurry so she didn't had to talk about it. I was not going to let this go. That girl need to break out of the shell. I pursued after Karl to force her to answer me. I stop at the orphanage but she wasn't there. So there was only one other place to look.

Karl was hiding in an alleyway that face Silas' family inn. She was watching it so I approach her. As I did I saw Silas and his grandpa leaving in armor. I grab Karl shoulder and push her see me.

"Eh Stop pervert get away" (Karl)

"Thats hurtful calling me a pervert. Miss Stalker" (Zuri)

"Its not like what you think. I was going to ask uncle if he could take me to my favorite spot. I can't go alone and Silas just left. In the woods my ability will draw in bellua." (Karl)

"I see so let go I still need to take with you" (Zuri)

"Can you just let it go please" (Karl)

"No cause your my friend. It may be small but I want to help you" (Zuri)

"Okay we will talk there okay" (Karl)

The uncle agree to that us to Karl's favorite spot. She wanted to show this place to me for some time now. We were walking in the woods. I speak to Silas' uncle.

"So uncle you know much about this favorite spot." (Zuri)

"It's just a large tree near the inn you can see it there. A few days after watching her family die. She went there to cry cause no one was helping her in the village. Silas was there to explore. A group of Horn rabbits attack them. In Karl's eyes Silas became her most important." (Silas' Uncle)

"She just doesn't want to lose him. Karl will leave things how they are. Wouldn't she." (Zuri)

"Seem like it. Sis wanted to take her in but then this village's law will make it impossible. Its not against it well she would be count as a blood sister to Silas." (Silas' Uncle)

"That will stop any future with them marry" (Zuri)

"Oh! We're here." (Silas' Uncle)

This was a every large tree and the scene around it was gorgeous. Karl pull me over to the trunk so we can talk. Uncle went to guard us from any bellua that came.

"So where you want to start" (Karl)

"Easy, you are a moron to think things will never change with Silas. His family even started to plan a wedding" (Zuri)

"What w-wa-wai--wait that that that kind of them." (Karl)

"It will be better if its not an arranged marriage right" (Zuri)

"I guest please not say anything to Silas" (Karl)

"I will only until the day I leave here" (Zuri)

"Thats is unfair Zuir" (Karl)

Silas' uncle came over to us. He need to get back to the inn for the afternoon rush. Karl stay at the inn to help out Silas' mother. I walk back to the house there a lot of work ahead.
