Bright Nights Among The Stars

Chapter 1

someone looks through the hall it was dark This.. is this the end? They quickly sat down soon as quickly as he'd sat down he'd stood up he looked around and saw nothing but a hall soon he'd looked down at their hands it was a black shadowy figure It must be cause I can't feel anything, they shrugged and began to  walk through the hallway it was empty and of course dark, soon he began to walk down faster and faster until he was running frantically trying to escape the endless darkness, then the black figure stopped someone looked at them a tall young man with sharp ears pale skin and short dark blonde hair, matched with bluish eyes. The boy looked at them frightened they felt a sense of happiness so they began to walk over causing the scared boy to fall "What are you!" He yelled someone else appeared "What is happening Michael!" He'd yelled.

He'd looked over and saw they were powering something that slowly began to cause them to feel pain they quickly ran over through instinct they'd touched the boy, their hands went through him and so did the rest of his body bringing him further into an abyss Where am I now? The darkness felt cold yet warm it smelt of coal yet it smelt like flowers it was hard to move and yet it wasn't, then the dark being opened their eyes they looked at their hands once more and saw they were in a body, the elves body they were in "I'm alive." He said suddenly he felt something touch his shoulder he looked up and saw it was the guy who called out the boys name "Of course your alive Michael, we're still at the beginning of the ruins." Michael stood up he looked at the ground "I, don't want to be here sir." The man sighed much like Michael he also had pointed ears but his skin was different and so was his face, he had a shade of green for his skin and a notable underbite with a few teeth showing and he was stronger in physical appearance than he was to Michael who had a scrawny build.

The man sighed and rubbed the back of his head "Eh, never trusted elves especially young ones... just get out of here you know the way." Michael nodded he walked forward I remember exploring these halls many times, but there were a lot more people, I wonder what happened to them. Michael stopped at the end of the hall that's when he saw it a black shade like creature smaller than he was tied down by some rope to a chair hands behind himself, Michael's eyes opened up tightly a girl with round ears walked towards it raising her hand over it, the black shade began to squeal in pain "STOP!" The girl jumped a little breaking her focus she looked over "Michael?" Michael walked down running over them stopping once he got there "Don't you see your hurting it, don't you hear it's squeal." The women looked at him confused "Squeal's?" She said turning immediately towards him, she pulled out a dagger "You didn't let these unholy things touch you did you?" Michael began to tremble but suddenly he felt a bit of energy he grabbed the knife by the blade, quickly blood came out clenching his fist he brought it back then fourth aiming his fist at the girl, unknowingly he closed his eyes, then opened them again.

He looked at the floor a pool of blood was on the floor but it wasn't his, quickly he looked up the women was dead with a hole through her chest Michael pulled his arm out and ran.

Two months later

Michael looked at his appearance he'd changed in the last two months with black hair and dark red eyes he didn't know why his appearance had changed but he'd guessed it was because it wasn't his body he twirled around looking at his new cloak it was white in color he stopped then looked at the store owner "How much?" The man looked at him "For someone like you elf.... 10 silver." Michael scoffed a little but he sorta got used to this form of treatment so he didn't do much to respond he grabbed his bag and dug through it shockingly he was able to find the exact amount, plus some gold coins.

He pulled out the ten silver coins and handed it to the man. Michael walked away and onto the streets, Varenshen the first kingdom to ever build around these old ruins. Someone began to walk into Michael's way causing him to stop, it was a elf child much younger than him with slight brown hair and green eyes he'd carried around a rather large staff with a shinning blue gem at the top "Hey kid, a single gold piece for this staff." The boy said Michael looked away rolling his eyes then back "I'm no kid." The boy smiled and reacted with a soft punch "If you were human yeah, your an adult but elves age differently so your still a teenager meaning a kid, kid." He said Michael sighed "You've been here what 2 months I've seen your adventurers ID and it states your age as 18, your life cycle is still that of a teenager until you hit 30." Michael looked away "Don't remind me, but I'm not buying a staff I can perform all forms of magic just as well. Plus looking at the gem it seems like someone already performed a binding spell meaning my spells wouldn't be as powerful if I were to have my own staff." Michael walked forward passing by the boy who'd had a new expression he'd seemed upset but straight after he went to someone new.

Michael sighed although suddenly felt off something that drew him to look back and so he did, his eyes opened widely as he gazed upon a magnificent and beautiful yet dangerous dragon, it flew over the kingdom his eyes and his body failed to move as he was too scared. The dragon took in air it's neck began to flare up smaller flames shoot out then it opened its mouth spitting a focused flame down towards Michael, he closed his eyes, turning and he ran, quickly people gathered around a church like building, Michael's heart pounded, this was his moment to escape if he didn't he'd died so he quickly ran faster than before boosting his speed by using magic he was a feet or two away when he used even more magic to jump into the crowd of people soon it all lit up.

Now from here he was unsure if he'd made it with his body intact til he opened his eyes, he was on the floor, he stood up and looked around and saw a crowd of people everyone began to stand around in shock Michael passed through them and found himself out of the crowd he looked around, confused on where they were, he didn't til he looked at what seemed like the kingdoms plaza "Michael?" Someone whimpered, he tearfully turned around his parents, the body's he'd come to known as his. The one true Michael's parents were here they seemed to almost cry the mother ran over embracing him her blonde hair hitting his face "My little boy!" She yelled in happiness Michael didn't know of much to do, but hug her back.
