Taerel and the Tournament

3. Older and Wiser Vanishes

It had been many many years since Boy now known as Taerel had come to the Elven World due to his accidental magic and boy Merlin he was strong, stronger than even Kelvhan and the other High Elves had seen before he wasn't just a Healer like his family name had suggested he was also excellent at with animals and nature itself but what he really made everyone awe was his skills as a warrior he put the 3000 year old elves had had been training since they were only 500 years old and Taerel could beat each one and he was only 1400 years old!

Due to this the Heikrana family was more gratly known around the Realm and when they saw any of the family they would bow, the family had move ahead of the Reyphine family which was just below the Royal family of Xyrgeiras itself, they had their land expanded due to Taerel alone.

Kelvhan was in awe at his grandson he never knew finding him when he was just six, 600 in the Realm would bring the family so much joy but it did and made him proud yet so sad that he never got to see his baby girl grow up but at least he had her wonderful, amazing yet powerful son as his own.

He never pushed him and let him do so much that his heart desired and when he did get out of line he was punished for it and he learnt quickly not to piss Kelvhan off like his uncle 'Ubby' did so many times he swore his uncle was a nature elf but nope the emerald eyes said a different story.

That was another thing he had learnt that each High Elf clan had different eye colour that sparkled like gems, his own was emerald like all Heikrana elves had even if their hair colour was different the eyes stayed the same no one ever had emerald green that he knew of.

The Reyphine had black onyx eyes that appeared to look deep into your soul they were the warriors in the Elven Realm, the Sarkalyn had sapphire blue that looked like a clear ocean they were the Spiritualists, Zylphyra had topaz yellow that looked like the sun, the Leofaren had amethyst purple eyes that sparkled in fun and adventure and lastly there was the Royal family of Xyrgeiros which were opal each Royal member had them but each one was slight different as they looked like they had rainbows for their eye colour!

It amazed Taerel at how differenteach family was and everyone knew what family they were in due to their eye colour all the other elves had blue, brown or green or a mix of the but nothing like the 'Gem Eyes' that was the name people had given them

Taerel was in his room when his aunt came in hiding from her slightly older twin brother she was holding something in her hands and was pure white, it mewed at being held it wanted down

"Shush little on or Taerel and Aubion will find us"

"Taerel already knows as you are in his room, auntie why are you here and what do you have here?" asked Taerel getting up from his desk he had been working at, he had been given the task by his grandfather to think up of a new way to put their Healer magic to better working standards

"Eep Trell I didn't think you would be here, I thought you would be with Father in the Healing Halls" said Arel to her nephew who looked so much like her mother but had his fathers dark hair but the Heikrana eyes.

"I was told to do some research by grandfather after he told me to rest you know what I am like" he smiled and then hugged his aunt so then he could steal what she had in her arms like normal

"Yes yes we know what you are like Trell you are only 1400 year old you need to stop you have your whole life ahead of you, you can gather more knowledge along... hey give me it back" she had noticed too late that he had taken what she had been holding in her arms

"Awe it is cute" he said petting the kitten now in his arms "I am naming you Sheen because your fur glistens in the light, Sheen just mewed and went to his neck and laid down
