Elf King Haldir Rehfaer was sitting on his throne,he belonged to the long eared high-elves.They were known for their excellence in the magic.Elf king was the strongest magic user among the elves.Followed by his elder son,Lesoraim Rehfaer and Ulteia Rehfaer,his second daughter.Lesoraim was 14 years old.High elves aged almost like humans till 20,all three of their kind did the same.But after 20,their growth stops completely.They were also called partially immortals because of their lives being as long as several millenniums.King Haldir was at his 3rd millennium and was almost near his end.He also had a son called Lesorias,Even though he was the eldest son and was a millennium old he was still the weakest among the three.They all had long light colored hair like most of the other high elves,which made them one of the most beautiful species of the universe.

Ulteia,Lesorias and Lesoraim entered the hall of castle.King was sitting on the top most part on a throne made of gold,with jewel embedded on it.Three of them knelt on their one knee before their Father who was the King.

“Up on your legs,my children.”King said in a kind gentle voice.His children raised up as he said. “It is about time we take those blue haired scums out.”King said.He was talking about the wood elves who had blue short hair and pale dark skin.Most of them lived on the woods in the wild.They used to be excellent archers.They were the only among the elves,who were weak at using magic.Other than these two other kind of elves were grey elves.They excelled in both magic arts and martial arts.They used to be allies with high elves but as the time passed due to a certain disease they all died out,with only a few of them still left. “The enmity between us high elves and those wood elves had been going on from the starting of our planet.We always wanted to know which one of us is the superior.We had been fighting since then.But today we will finally know which one of us is superior.”King said in loud voice filling the hall with full of energy.

“Yes father.We will finally make the prophecy come true.”Ulteia said looking at her father.

“There is nothing in the prophecy.It is just made up stuff.Do you people even know where that came from?”Lesoraim asked.

“Shut you mouth,Raim.Our prophecy is given to us by our creator.If he say it,it will happen.”King Haldir said.

“What about creator?Has anyone ever seen him?There has been only words passed down from generation about a hero appearing.Nobody actually knows where that came from.”Lesoraim said. “What does it actually tell about?Something like “After the battle lead by the battle maid…”Lesoraim started the poem but her sister interrupted him by completing the poem herself.

“After the battle lead by the battle maid,

The cursed ones will never stand.

The one will stare from the crimson flames,

Burning blue,under Ruler’s names.

One will love him,two will not,

Weak will he be,or be strong?

It won’t matter for so long,

As he will lead to rise or fall.”Ulteia finished the poem.

“What does that even mean?”Lesorias asked.

“I don’t know.”Ulteia answered.

“Yes,but we know one thing for sure if Tia is leading us on this battle then we will win for sure.Now tell with me…”King said and people began ready to say with him “For the prophecy…”King said and the people repeated after him. “For the country…”King said and people again repeated his words.King drew out his sword and extended it forwards everyone turned towards the door and marched towards it.

High elves marched towards the country of wood elves.The forest covering their country was destroyed by their magic.At the battle,wood elves fought back hard even though the attack surprised them.Towards the end of battle royal family of the wood elves were all slaughtered to death by Lesoraim and Lesorias.At the end King of wood elves Hagmer Leomarin fought with Ulteia.Hagmer was a millennium old.Instead of his usual bow and arrow he was fighting with Ulteia with his sword.He looked like most of his race.He had slightly long pointy ears which were smaller compared to high elves.He had pretty muscular body with an armor covering it.He had a red silk cape which was tearing apart due to the fight he had done on his shoulders.He was fighting with Ulteia on an equal level only he was left on the battle field.Every single one of his comrades were dead and their bodies were lying everywhere.He was breathing pretty hard by now.

“Shit…Is it really over?Is this it for our race?”He asked himself pulling himself up to his feet as he was on his knees after fighting so much.Ulteia was almost on the same state as him.She was holding her spear on a hand and was standing up on its support.

“Don’t worry that much.Even if you lose we will not kill women or children of your race.”Ulteia said barely standing up.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

“You can barely stand up.You are long away from winning.”Hagmer taunted.

“Even you are on the same state.”Ulteia said.

“Is that so?It looks like,it doesn’t matter which type of elf you are,we all love to have a good fight.”Hagmer said.

“I must agree to that.”Ulteia said pulling her spear to her hands.King also got up on his feet and held the sword straight towards Ulteia. “Then let’s meet again if you live somehow after this.”Ulteia said rotating her spear to behind her.

“Same here.”King said as he rushed towards Ulteia with a slash of his sword.

“My existence is the glass work of your illusion.T: Phase.”Ulteia said as King came in front with a slash.Hagmer’s sword passed through Ulteia as if she was not there.As he reached behind her,Ulteia turned back and struck him on his back piercing through his heart.She pulled it back towards her.Hagmer fell down on his stomach with blood flowing out of his mouth.

Ulteia then walked into the city of wood elves inside the forest.She walked through the hall of palace of wood elves,which was destroyed to somewhat extend by now.There was no chairs only the throne of the king was seen on forward her.Above the throne she could see the names of several kings who ruled before her which were stroke upon their death.Ulteia was followed Lesoraim and Lesorias.

“Wow,This is huge.It is impressible that they made it hidden between the woods.”Lesoraim said.Ulteia was still looking at those names she saw Hagmer’s name behind the list of kings.

“What are you looking at Tia?”Lesorias asked in a gentle voice asking to Ulteia.

“It’s nothing tane-a.”Tia said.Tane-a was used by little siblings to call their elder brothers with respect.Almost all the elves used to call their elders with respectful pronouns.Like tane-a for elder males and chii-a for elder females of near ages.There was many more pronouns like that in elvish language. “I just wanted to make a stroke on Hagmer’s name,I mean he died by my hands so I think I should do it.”Tia said.

“Then you should just do it.”Lesorias said.Tia walked towards the throne and get up on it.She stood up on it and took the spear on her hands to make a stroke on Hagmer’s name.She then got down on the throne and tried sitting on that throne.

“What are you doing Tia,you shouldn’t sit on others’ thrones.”Lesoraim said.

“Its fine.I kinda belongs to me,now.”Tia said.

“Oh,I forgot it was you who defeated Hagmer the devil king.”Lesoraim said.His eyes were filled with jealousy.He wanted to kill Hagmer,but it was Ulteia who did it.He was trying to loot stuff from houses and was killing people meaninglessly in the cities while Tia was fighting in the battlefront.He was then exiled back to his country by Tia after that.As Ulteia was sitting on the throne suddenly it raised up in the air and threw her down from the seat.As she landed on her feet and looked back she saw something going down to the throne.

“What was that?”Lesoraim asked.

“I couldn’t fell a bit of mana from there.”Lesorias said.

“You are right tane-as.”Tia said to her brothers.She slowly went near the throne and looked beneath it.What she saw was a kid about half her age,staring at her with frightened eyes.He was sitting all shrunk up on a corner.His eyes were shining like a furnace in bright red color.Tia couldn’t help but to remember the legend.

““After the battle lead by the battle maid,

The cursed ones will never stand.

The one will stare from the crimson flames,

Burning blue,under Ruler’s names…”She remembered.She remembered how she slayed the king and looked up at the names of different rulers above the throne.She looked at that kids eyes to see they where like crimson flames from a furnace.When she could see more,she realized his hair was like blue flames. “Come here.Come here to chii-a.I won’t hurt you.Come here.”She said in a rhythmic tone.The kid was still scared to come out.Lesoraim came forward and pulled away the cushion of the throne away.This made that kid scared even more.

“What’s with this kid?”Lesoraim as seeing his features.His blue hair made him seem like a wood elf at first but his crimson eyes were only found in between some of the rare greys,while his long ears were only the specialty of high elves.

“You are scaring him,back off Raim.”Tia said pushing Lesoraim back.

“Okay,Okay.Milady.”Raim said teasing her.Tia touched the throne to make it burn away not even ash leaving behind.This made kid scared even more and he began to run away but Tia teleported to front of him and hugged him into her chest.

“Hey,It’s okay.You don’t have to be afraid of me.”She said hugging him tighter.Now he was suffocating due to less air from her hug.He began to struggle to get away from her.But still Tia was not letting him go.A few seconds later he was not moving at all.Tia let go of him to see him fell down on the floor.She caught him before he could hit the floor. “It looks like he fainted for some reason.”Tia said.

“It is because you have breasts huge for your age.”Lesoraim said.

“Is it so,tane-a?”Tia asked.

“He is just kidding,Tia.”Lesorias said.Tia sat down on the floor placing kid’s head on her lap.A few seconds later kid opened his eyes and got up and started staring at Tia.

“Hello little kid,Can I know your name?”Tia asked.

“I don’t have one.”He said.

“Huh!He doesn’t have a name.What are you some kind of fairy?”Lesoraim asked in an angry tone.

“No.I am an elf,not a fairy.A high elf.”Kid said as he said,his ears moved up and down.

“You don’t have you long hair like rest of us.”Lesorias asked.

“No mana.Will you give me?”Kid asked.

“What?I don’t have to give you mana.”Lesorias said.

“I will give you,but why do you need mana?”Tia asked.

“To grow hairs.”Kid said.

“You are right an elves hair represents the amount of mana stored in his body along with the length of his ears.But I don’t know how to give you my mana.”Tia said.

“Liar…You killed my father so you must know how to give me mana.”Kid said.

“Is your father named Hagmer?”Tia asked and the Kid nodded his head on yes. “How do you know that?”She asked.

“Had dreams,very big dreams.”Kid said.

“He might be him.The legend who will appear according to the prophecy.”She said.

“Are you serious about that?”Raim asked.

“Yes,I am.”Tia said.

“It looks like something strange has started on the elf world.”Rias said.

“Name…”Kid said to Tia in a small voice.

“What...?”Tia asked.

“A name, you gave me one on my dreams.”Kid said.

“Name,huh.”Tia said thinking for a moment. “Okay,Got one.I have a name for you…From today you will be known as Elfiur Rehfaer.But I will call you just Fiur.And starting today you are one of the high elves princes.”Tia said.This made the two princes standing behind with no word on their mouth.
