"Ashira, come on! The market is open and we need food!" I yell to my cousin sleepily.

She groans and walks groggily down the stairs. Her hair is as crazy as the hay on a witch's broom. I giggle. 

"What's so funny? It better not be my hair, because there are a lot of books around me Mika." She says puffing out her cheeks. 

Hi, I'm Mika Beriothien. The last elf in the mighty nation, The AfterWorlds. It was so powerful, running for over 2,500 years. Until the Humans wrecked our World. 

Don't be fooled by the After part. We don't hold apparitions and demonic beings. The AfterWorlds is more of a heavenly place. 

The UnderWorlds holds the most  deadly apparitions and ghouls, Diminishers. 

Not dementors, Diminshers. They hold an amazing power, being able to take a magical beings magic away, leaving them powerless and weak. I was never afraid of them. Why you may ask? 

Despite coming from a magical family, I'm not magical. I'm very powerful though. My parents used to say my magic was stealth and agility. I could steal a Wellstine Jewel and 100 guards wouldn't even notice. 

My cousin, Ashira is magical. Her father Alastor was a very blessed person. Now I understand why he was King instead of my dad. 

Based off of his, knowledge he could create anything. Clothes, Food, Items, Animals and so much more. Ashira inherited his power and now here we are. 

"Mika, what's for breakfast? I'm starvinggg!! I want biscuits!" She says holding her stomach and walking to the table. 

I chuckle and put the plate of eggs, biscuits and bacon in front of her. 

"BISCUITS!!!" She says with so much excitement. I love her so much. Being 5 years apart isn't so bad. At least she's a teenager and not 7 or 8. I'm so lucky that I have her left..everything I cherished has died and gone away. 

I start laughing again. 

"Ok, Ash, we really need to fix your hair!"

"

"Alright, where to first?" Ashira asks looking at me. We're about the same height, with my short 5'4 self. She's 5'3.

"How about the bakery? I think we need bread." I say pointing to the baguettes. 

"Those look tasty! But a question Mika, how come I couldn't make us food?" She asks.

"Ummm....."

~Flasbacks~

"Ash, is the food ready? I'm hungry.......!!!" 

"Yup! I created it with magic." 

"Cool!"

-chewing-

"OMG THIS IS TERRIBLE! IT TASTES LIKE PIG DI-"

"Don't finish that please."

"mhm.." 

"Ugh..your just a hater Mika."

"I'm not! Your powers are just too... over-powered!"

"UGHHHHH"

"did you imagine tasty food?"

".........."

~end of Flasback~

"Oh yea..haha" She says rubbing the back of her head. I sigh. 

We go into the bakery and grab some baguettes, rolls, croissants and biscuits. (for Ashira)

"Hey Mika, can we get a new quilt for my bed? The yellow one aint' it." She says looking at the sew store. 

I giggle. "Sure, what color do you want?" I say grabbing my pouch to pay the baker.

"Purple and Blue. The Kyang flag mixed with the Sunib flag." She says clasping her hands together and fixing her messy hair. 

"Got it. Let's go."

We walk into the store and I'm in awe. I'm also confused why we don't come here more often. There's silky quilts hanging from the ceiling in different warm and cool colors. 

"Alright Ash, there's two options. Which one do you want-"

"ELVES!" 

I turn around quickly and see a tall boy with white hair pointing at me. 

"Shi-" 

"MIKA RUN!"

We dash out the store and see bounty hunters chasing us with axes, knives and different weapons.

"How did they know?!" I yell turning to Ashira. 

"Your hair! It's still silver!" She says.

"......."

We keep running. Down an alley, through crowds and on top of the wall.

"Gotcha." 

'I have to pause time' I think to myself.

I turn my fingers around and put them in a prayer posture at the ending. I failed.

Ashira turns her fingers quickly and succeeds. I roll my eyes. 

"We need to take this boy and his friend with us, so they don't tell anyone." Ashira says. "We might need to lock them in the attic." 

 "Don't torture the Mika." 

"That is a promise I cannot keep."
