The Elf and The Tiefling

(Note: This is just one of THOSE chapters that have no meaning to the plot but give context. If you're not interested. There's a orange box at the bottom that says next chapter. Click it. If you're still here, welp. You do you.)

I wasnt a fan of being on my own but, I wasn't a fan of being around specific people, especially Tieflings. That didn't change until I saw Verece. He wasn't at all what I had expected. Or maybe I am wrong. Let's hope I am not.

When I was a little girl my mother would tell me stories of a Little elf girl being kidnapped by Tieflings and forced to serve them as a slave. Or something along that line.

One that was told to me was The Elf and The Tiefling. Original. I know.

It went a little like this:

~~~

A noble elf girl, loving and courageous grew up in the comfort of her parents protection, her mother was a Paladin and her Father was a Crown guard. The little elf girl didn't much time to be with her parents so she stayed with the Family's nurse until she was 18. However, despite the rules she was given she still left the castle walls to meet with a boy who she named Xevan. Xevan was older than this little elf girl and would take her around the forest showing her the beauties and defending her from all the scary monsters with his cool sword skills. She wanted to see his face but every time she went to pull his hood down he'd lean away from her or move away, warning her not to. She was on her last warning and she was scared. But it didn't phase her. But not really. The little girl was happy with him, she was given whatever she wanted, they played together from hide and seek to pretending the noble elf girl was a princess and Xevan was the knight in shining armour. Little did the Noble girl know that Xevan was teaching her to stay away from him. She came back to him one day while his hood cloak was off and she saw him with other people that looked like him. Each having weirdly coloured skin and a swirly marking on forehead, they also had horns and a tail, and sharp claws. One of these scary people had seen her and threw her to the others who glared at her. She looked warily at Xevan and ran off. She ran away glancing over her shoulder and climbed into the trees calling out for her father.

Xevan came behind her calling to her that she was okay, and it was all a misunderstanding... She warned her not to call for anyone as he wouldn't be able to play with her again. The little girl calls him a monster and falls out the tree hurting herself. Xevan walks up to her and reaches to her, she screamed and it alerted a guard that was looking for her, Xevan's eyes widen and jumps into a tree after picking her up and covering her mouth. The guard searches the area and looks high and low for the Little girl who was fighting her way to try and get out of Xevan's grasp. She remembers something and drops two marbles that were in her bag, The guard noticed and remembered the briefing he got with the little girl:

"Remember. If I drop 1 marble It's not a big issue and I'm fine just needing a little help. however if i drop two marbles, then a Scary elf demon thing has me. And I'll need you to help me. Big time." - Little girl, 12 years old.

The guard saw the two marbles and called for back up looking for where the marbles could have dropped, "There!" one says as another starts climbing the tree. Xevan held onto the little girl and jumped onto another tree before jumping down and running with her in his arms. The guards pursued them and hunted the Tiefling down, Xevan was lecturing me to never reveal him like that again, and that they would have been safe otherwise. The little girl begins crying and Xevan panics trying to calm her down. Just when he thought she stopped crying he notices something dark in her eyes.

He pulls her close into a hug when he sees an arrow. In her back. A tear flows down the girls face as she falls limp into Xevan's arms. He removes the arrow slowly and lays the girl down and places flowers around her and creates a bouquet and takes the lace off of her dress and clips it so it covers her eyes, Just as the guards come, Xevan kisses the forehead of the little girl and kneels holding his hands behind his back and looks down at the girl. The guards come over and kneel down on one knee a tear shedding from each. Each guard walks past the Tiefling patting his shoulder to reassure him they didnt come to harm him. Xevan looked at them passing him and didn't say anything, he ran off to take his anger out on a tree.

A Dark story but It was told to me, when I was the little girls age. I was so scared of meeting a tiefling as when I was little I thought the tiefling caused the little girls death, even though she wasn't killed by him I was a little sceptical seeing Verece but once I got to know him slightly, I kind of settled a little, but my guard is still up.

(P.s: Sorry this chapter is a little short. As I said at the beginning, it's only one of THOSE chapters)
