Chapter 1 unfortunate events

After a few days I learnt that if I soiled myself by accident, what am I thinking I’m a baby so I don’t have control over my body function. There was an earthquake or so I thought the next moment the roof of the cottage came off like a tin being opened and a faint smell of blood wafted down and then I realised it was a giant monster. “Wha, wha” I couldn’t help but cry. Nothing was going to stop it. “Shut that damn child up it’s causing the monsters to go in a frenzy” a gruff voice shouted.

This was the first time I could understand the language here.

“Shush, shush, little Tobias shush, shush” a smooth and loving voice calmly said. Was this the voice of my mother? How it sounded like angels singing quietened me down nearly instantly. So my name was Tobias at least I know now. As soon as my mother soothed me a man in shining light blue and black armour appeared. “Get out of the way!” he shouted as he leapt into the air like a superhuman at least 15Ft. And with a swish of his sword cut the monster into two pieces straight down the middle. And shouted to mother “run now to the river it’s safe there go! Go Now!”. And mother started running in the direction of the river.

As we made it to the river I heard a loud explosion behind us. Mother used her body to cover me from any harm, I could feel the anxiety and pain in her breath. We started to slow down in pace knowing it was mother who was slowing down and then all of a sudden she threw me in the air shouting “Bryson, take Tobias to safety please!!!” As I was falling into the man named Bryson I could see my mothers face looking so helpless and drained of colour. And then I was caught mid flight by a hooded figure. Who quickly ran towards the monsters. Yippee life two down what a pity that I could live with mother and the man called Bryson, who knows he could have been my father.

As the hooded figure ran past my mother , the look of horror and disappointment that she had just lost her baby was etched into my heart and soul. I hope she is ok.

The hooded figure and I must have been running for around 5 hours before they stopped running for a rest. By then I got hungry “Wha, wha” I couldn’t help but cry. The hooded figure gave me a bottle of some sort to drink from. It tasted a bit sour compared to what mother fed me but it will have to do.

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

After the hooded figure fed me and they ate themselves I was scooped up into their arms and they set off running full speed. I tried to get a look at the person's face. All I saw was a mixture of gold eyes and red eyes mixed perfectly in the middle, like a sunset. Something about their eyes seemed reassuring to me and I don’t know why?

We must have been running for about two days before coming into a town. I wish I could read then I might be able to tell you the name of the village but I can’t oh well nevertheless let’s carry on with the story shall we.

We entered town and made our way through the twisted roads and found ourselves outside an inn that looked like it’s seen better days. As we entered it felt like all gazes were fixed on the both of us. The hooded figure went up to the bar and arranged for a room and for a couple of baths for us. May be they are not that evil after all? What am I saying they are obviously evil how they kidnapped me in the midst of a monster attack.

After bathing and changing me, the hooded figure stripped themselves down ready for a bath. Wait! Hold on, I'm still here. Hold up!!! And Elf!!! I could clearly see the head of the person who stole me. It seems that the hooded figure was an elf woman no older than my mother. All the scars on her body looked like she had been through a lot of battles. With green hair down to the base of her back and strikingly white skin.

After she was finished she sat me up on the bed and introduced herself as Haleth. “I know you can’t even process what is happening to you right now” she exclaimed “ but what I’ve done has been done to keep you safe little one. As soon as it all blows over I’ll help you find your mother. And return you to your rightful place but I will not let him get his hands on you”

I could feel that there was something I was missing right there and then. That same day I finally got to see what the hell I looked like. Finally a mirror. I wonder if I look like mother? I sat there with my eyes closed firmly in the direction of the mirror that sat on the ground. I opened my eyes to find purple hair just like mother I would have jumped with joy if I could right next thing what do my eyes look like as soon as I fixed my eyes on myself what the hell!!
