Hello everyone. Nice to meet you all.
[I came from Asia and I'm not an English native speaker, so it's quite difficult for me to write a story. However I'm trying to write a little day by day, just to practise my English writing skill, to improve my vocabularies and to satisfy my hobby. I'm a big fan of novels like Eragon, Hobbit or Game of Thrones, so my story was inspired a lot by them and the game Dota 2 - from Valve. Hope you all enjoy it and feel free to comment and fix a mistake if any. Thank you a lot :wink5:]
HERO - CHAPTER 1
The dim space is stretching everywhere in Quaz forest under the soft blue white light emitted from the foliages of Thoogos, which is an endemic plant here with very special black leaves that can shine at night. Quaz, the forest along the western slopes of the Zorda mountains, is so quiet that when the wind blows through, the rustling sounds of Thoogos foliages is not strong enough to wake up the peaceful and silent forest. Suddenly, there is a slight sound when a twig broken beneath someone’s foot step, a shadow is moving through the trees.
Eron has hunted through the entire of the forest near Edrak village, a lonely village at the end of the Zorda mountains and belong to Furgoden, the kingdom of Dark Elf. “A strange night”, he thought, “There is no sign of animal, absolutely no, even a signal of a small rat or bird”
Like any other Dark Elves, Eron is a big man with a dark blue skin. His sharp eyes under bushy eyebrows always radiate the firmness of the man at the age of forty. He wears casual clothes made of animal skin, and brings a simple but sophisticatedly engraved white bow with the shape of leaves and vines running along the body. He also has a leather arrow bag on his back and a strange shaped silver knife fitted on his waist.
- “Tonight is so weird, falling stars always bring bad things” He mutters when remembers back to this evening, he saw a bolide falling down into the deep area of Quaz forest, where noone in the village want to go into. They scare big and fierce monsters living there, especial, the Ursin.
He stops at the entrance of a small trail leading to the deep and dark space of the forest and looks hesitantly back to the village. His beloved pregnant wife and his son are waiting for him. If he comes back empty handed, they may have to cope with an extremely harsh winter with a depleted food source, and not to mention an unborn baby.
The difficult scene pushes him toward the trail, but incidentally, he hears a sound from a low-growing brambles, from which jumps out a Cerve. It is a kind of deer living in Quaz forest, with a small head, brown fur and a long white mane running from a slit between two long and curved horns to the end of the tail. Because of their long legs and their sensation, they can only be caughtby trap, or magic. Unfortunately, at this time, Eron doesn’t have both.
Eron quietly sits down, crawls forward and hides himself behind one large Thoogos tree. He draws a bow and places one arrow on. Pointing his bow toward, he takes a deep breath, and targets the prey.
But tonight is not his night. At that moment, an awful roar sounding from the depth of the forest makes Eron startling, and either his prey. Fast as lightning, Eron let the arrow goes, but it is a little bit late. The arrow glides near the neck of the Cerve and plugs into the nearby tree. The Cerve is frightened, and quickly runs away, disappears behind high Thoogos of the forest. the Cerve seems to be scared by something else, not his arrow, but the owner of the roar.
That thought makes Eron shudder, he decides to choose one of the biggest tree there and quickly climbs up. Sitting on one strongest branch,holding his bow certainly, and being ready to shoot at anytime, he waits.
Another fury roar, Eron keeps his breath and draws one arrow. Suddenly, some smaller roars echoing at the same direction. Eron is in a panic by recognizing the owners of those roars, he jumps to another tree, and runs as fast as possible back to his village. The Ursins, they are going straight to Edrak.
At the edge of Edrak,
Generos, a five year old Dark Elf kid, is playing with his wooden warrior his father made for him. He and his mother, Euna, are living in the house built by many branches on the top of one Thoogos tree. Beside him, Euna are sitting on the old chair, knitting a woolen cap for her unborn baby. Generos is a cute boy with a silver hair, and dark skin like his father, Eron, and high cheekbones, a straight nose and a sharp sapphire eyes from his mother.
- "Where is our daddy?" asked Generos.
- "He is finding the fairy dragon for you, son." Euna tiredly smiles.
In her last period of pregnancy, she feels very uncomfortable, but Generos does not know about it and keeps being annoyed. Euna is a half blood daughter of one human and one Dark Elf, that is why her skin is lighter and she has a light blonde hair. She is in her midle age, but noone can recognise that she got married and had a child, especially when she has a good looking round face, and beautiful charming eyes. A tenderness always appear on her face though the pain in her stomach keep following her.
- “How long will daddy come back? Will he bring me a fairy dragon? I want to play with fairy dragons.” Generos continues asking his mother.
- He will be back soon and will play with you. But if you want to play with him, you have to be a good child. Now it's time to sleep son, go to bed and i will sing a song for you.
- Yes, mom. Can I bring my warrior to the bed with me?
- Of course my dear, now let's go!!!
Generos curls up in his warm blanket made from Cerve fur, with his toy in hand, he opens his big round eyes looking at his mother and waits.
-There was a Kingdom in the deepest forest.
People lived in peace,
and joy
They sang a song...
They danced a dance of God.
One day, the prophet of the King
came and said,
Through his dream, he saw
darkness would come, and desolated this world.
Only one man, who had God's hand
could save the Kingdom.
Day by day, newborn babies were brought
in front of that prophet,
but none of them was him.
And one day, the Queen gave a birth,
The prophet came,
There wasn't only one, they were twins.
When he saw, he trembled,
Finally, he found the man.
The two princes grew up together
in their parents's love.
But somehow, it wasn't fair,
Always the younger prince
was loved more than his brother.
That just because of the hand of God
...
Euna stops singing when she sees her son has fallen in sleep.
- "Good night, son!" she tenderly looks at Generos and says. Then she blows off the candle. The darkness quickly covers all over their house. Falling in the deep sleep, Generos, and his mother don't know what is coming.
