FRAXIA!

I looked over my shoulder with a cackle  as my older sister ran screaming after me. I had just chased off her 8th boyfriend with tales of her many good points in my opinion. I mean what guy wouldn’t want to know what size her underwear was or what she and her friends said about him when he wasn’t present, to which they all probably thought i didn’t understand, except my sis of course. As far as i am concerned i was probably doing her a favor telling him about the slightly amusing bits and pieces that she was to embarrassed to say.

“FRAXIA, WHAT DID YOU SAY TO JARREN!” she yelled while chasing after me with that “I’m pissed look” on her face.

“Oh nothing important, just some old stories and tales." i said said back to her while running for a tree. She isn’t as good at climbing trees as me.

“THEN WHY DID HE START ACTING STRANGE AFTER YOU TALKED TO HIM!” she yelled while throwing the broom at me.

I made it to the tree and immediately started climbing it. By the time Blake got to the bottom of the tree i was already halfway up and jumping to the next tree. It had been 10 years since i came to this world and i have been silently getting stronger and faster, hence why i can outrun my older sister.

When i finally was able to walk, run and in general move around on my own, i started training. Push ups and sit ups to build my strength and running and climbing to build my stamina and even more creative and probably outright stupid training ideas some of which Kyanu told me how to do. For such a lazy goddess she really knows some amazing training methods. Of course i didn’t put off my mage training. I started practicing casting actual spells instead of just throwing mana around. According to sis only the noble sons and daughters in the capital should be able to use magic and only after 5 to 10 years of school should be able to do what i was able to do, not that it would have mattered to me because i was different from those stuck ups. I learned basic magic theory and how to build an incantation from Kyanu but for the most part it was me just dicking around using my mana and experimenting.

I managed to make a few basic spells like Fireball LV1(Active), Water trap LV1(Active/Passive) and the most recent a lightning spell, Lightning Bolt LV1(Active), and i must say they look pretty good. Considering the average of this worlds magic is being taught magic at academies by old men who spend thier whole lives researching and experimenting on making their own spells i think 10 years with 3 spells to show for it is pretty good. Best part is unlike those fragile spells that those old men make that consume a huge amount of mana these spells are simple but i can overcharge them by putting more mana than needed into them thus increasing their effect.

What i really wanted was body strengthening magic, but Kyanu said that if i didn’t have sufficient control of my magic tried it, then there was a highly likely chance that i would make whatever body part i was trying it on explode. Not my favorite pastime i think.

So for the last year or so i have been learning to control my magic better so that i can attempt such spells. Of course i could just look for a pre-existing spell, but that would mean i would have to chant it to activate the spell and i don’t want that, i want all my magic to be able to be accessed whenever i want without the delay of chanting.

A couple of years ago a party of adventurers came through on a goblin subjugation which had cropped up in the area. One of the adventurers was a low ranking aristocrat, i stalked them to the goblin den and watched her chant a spell that sent a air slash at on of the goblins coming at at her, course she got slashed by the 2nd goblin that came up behind her. Her companions managed to finish off the den but she died from blood loss. After that i realized that it was incredibly easy to die.

Tried replicating the effects of her spell but found that the chant was getting in the way big time, i mean who can memorize all those fancy words. When i made my spells i didn’t include a chant and just focused on producing the effects of the spell via mana materialization. When my sister saw this however she looked like she wanted to vomit blood. She asked how a 9 year old knew silent casting. Apparently silent casting was an actual battle skill that the Imperial academy trained in their recruits, the advantages of silent casting is obvious. Casting a spell without letting your opponent know was a huge advantage in a fight.

So back to the present where i was leaping from tree to tree to avoid the rampaging monster called my sister.

“Gotta go faster if you want to catch me." i yelled back to her.

“GET BACK HEEEEEEEEEE….." she screamed as she fell out of the tree.

Ooh owch, i hopped out of the tree and ran over to her to see if she was ok but to my surprise she got right back up and grabbed me.

“What. did. You. tell. him.” when said very slowly.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

“Oh just your underwear size and-” i began.

*WHAM*

Blake hit me so hard on the head that i think i was seeing stars for a second.

“And why pray tell would you tell him that” she asked while giving me the ‘choose your answer wisely’ look.

“So that when you have smex he knows what size he sexy underwear to get you." i said mustering the most innocent smile i could.

“FRAXIA!” she said while her face was turning cherry red.

“Oh did you want me ask mom if she could find you some contraceptives or maybe some condoms” i said again with a smile only an angel could posses. After a few years of her antics i took pity on her and explaining the concept behind them to my OLDER sister and grabbing a bottle from mom and dads closet to show her.

“Hey hey, You didn’t really ask that did you." she looked eyes wide in panic. Of course i would be if my little sister was asking that kind of thing to my mother. The only person who knew about me being special and ‘knowledgeable in many elements’ was Blake and she still trying to figure me out, i think you would have an easier time teaching a horse to speak elvish.

I smirked, “what do you think." i replied.

Mom forbade my sister from getting a boyfriend after the first one ended up breaking sis's and running off with another girl not to mention insulting mom, and i happen to agree with mom. When i was 8 came back from a day of messing around with magic and getting to find my sister and heartbreak #1 getting it on in the bedroom that we share. I spent at least an hour waiting outside the door for them to finish so i could goddamm change out of my muddy clothes. Since i was getting tired of waiting i went and slammed the front door extra hard to make sure they could hear that i was back and that they should cool it so i could fucking change. Needless to say i am not looking for a repeat performance so i have made it my solemn and hilarious duty to chase off potential sex friends and/or boyfriends of my sister.

If my sister gets a boyfriend she is going to have to find one that is me-proof because i foresee no end to my attempt to disturb my sister's budding sex life. Then again if she does happen to find someone who can resist my ‘charm’ then i will be thoroughly impressed, after all i have yet to see anyone with that level of mental fortitude.

The afternoon bell rang signaling the end of the work day. My father should be getting back soon, my mother also took a tailoring job at a small shop a couple years ago in the village square so she would be back with my father. We are a fairly small village in the south eastern part of the beastmen kingdom. The beastmen kingdom, Wrolum, was a fairly big kingdom surrounded by large forests and plains. Villages such as mine were not an uncommon sight, but forest shadow village was on the edge of the kingdom next to the mountain barrier. The mountain barrier is a long mountain range that creates a natural border along the demon kingdoms. This continent is called Speria, and the demon continent is called Baratrum. The beastman kingdom is part of the Holy alliance while the demons are all part of the Abyssal alliance.

I found out from Kyanu that these two factions are constantly at war with each other and often result in major losses on both sides. The holy kingdom was the one who initially put forth the motion to eliminate the demons purely for religious purpose, which included the Elves, dwarfs, Fae, Beastmen and Humans at the start and would later be joined by the gnomes and centaurs, although the Human kingdom are participating purely for the resources and land that will be divided amongst the allied kingdoms, should they conquer the demon lands. Neither side can move a sizable invasion force easily because of the mountains, so it usually boils down to guerrilla tactics and sabotage. If either one of the factions were to gain a foothold beyond their territory, they could setup an invasion force, vice versa.

The Abyssal coalition is formed of the Devils, Vampires, the lycans and various warlords of different areas. For whatever various reasons do they wish for the holy kingdom to fall. Like asking the darkness why it hates the light. The church is mostly responsible for propaganda about how evil breeds in the Baratrum. I personally don’t believe that all demons are evil, after all i have a patron goddess who is the queen of hell. More than evil i feel like she is more childish and useless, although she has been teaching me stuff these last few years.

It's been nearly 50 years since the demons last attempted to invade and humanity has not tried either since as well. Both sides backed off because of the appearance of the dragons, who inhabit the mountain range. To invade either territory, the attacking faction would have to either beat back the dragons and clear a invasion path, or smuggle troops under the dragon's nose into Speria. Neither negotiations nor a war is likely to happen anytime soon so the alliance has grown weaker, and the leaders of the various kingdoms started focusing more on the domestic problems of their countries, not that they are doing to well. Every society has its low point, For humans it's their greed, for elves pride and the list goes on and on.

With the alliance concentrating on internal problems, the security between the mountain range has decreased to a point where small war bands of monsters from the demon continent can sneak over the mountains every now and then, and for villages like Forest Shadow who are right next to the border we are a very appealing target for a war party of goblbins to dash out, snatch our food and women, and disappear back into the mountains. After a few years of complaining to the government and nothing happening, the village elders decided to create a guard corps to keep watch over the fields and village until winter where passing through the mountains is all but impossible.

Me and my sister made it to the house just in time for mom and dad to appear on at the bottom of the footpath leading to the cottage. Since i came to this world i found out that my mother was one of the few humans in the beastman village, in the human kingdom beastmen and other races are not usually welcomed, so much so that discrimination is not uncommon. When i was a kid there was a family who moved to a human town as merchants. A few weeks later a traveling merchant came through saying that the family had disappeared without saying anything, and they didn’t take anything. It’s not hard to figure out what happened to them but the knights weren't going to help and the Beastmen embassy did nothing probably because they were pressured not to start an international incident, that wasn't the first incident though. Humans where some of the quickest to discriminate against other races, elves keep to themselves in, dwarfs are more interested in their forge, and beastmen are occupied in their strength.

So basically, Humans are dicks, elves are pretty boys, Dwarfs are workaholics, and beastmen love dick measuring contests, i thought after Kyanu told me about the other races.

Mom was a healer for and adventurer party who decided to settle down in after meeting my father. When my father saw her, it was easy to tell he was in love with her, or so the other villagers say. I was told that she was here with her party on a subjugation request for some slimes that had appeared in the area recently. At the time, there was no guard corps and every monster that came around had to be fought off by anyone who was on hand. They had killed most of the slimes when one managed to eat my mother's staff, and like the idiot or hero as everyone calls him he threw himself at her and pushed her out of the way before being swallowed by the slime. They managed to get him out of the monster, but not before he was injured badly. My mother stayed by him for 2 days healing him constantly before he regained consciousness. Mom describes it as love at first sight, so he joined her on her adventures for a little while. Unfortunately dad injured his leg badly enough that travel would be rough for him.

After some debate and  a fight between the party leader, my father and the village elder, my mother was able to settle down with my father. When fall came one of the village hunters was injured falling into a river. He would have died from blood loss and hypothermia but my mother healed him, after that people started bringing injured people to her as an unofficial so much so that the village chief eventually gave her the job as being the village healer, thereby earning the trust of the others. After a few years of the birds and the bees, my sister was born. Fast forward a few years i was born and here we are today.

When they both got into the house they both said they wanted to tell us something, and brought us over to the kitchen table. Uh oh, what happened. I’m betting they found out about Blake's secret boyfriends, or maybe they found my secret hideout.

“What is it daddy." i asked.

“Well sweetie” my mother began.

“Your mother and i wanted to tell you both that you're going to be getting a sibling." my father said after a moment.

“EH” both me and my sister shouted.
