The Elf of Arbre Velki

Chapter 1: "You Dorks"

I wake up to a sun-lit morning.  By the positioning of the Sun I can tell I'm the only one awake in my family.  I put on my clothes, grab my oaken bow, arrows, and quiver then headed over to my friend , Kaden's, house.  I walk along some central branches of our tree civilization and then start weaving through smaller ones covered by Palerian fruits. Once I make it to Kaden's house, I knock on the door. I'm met with silence.

"Get your game up Zelphar," a voice said behind me.

I instantly recognize the voice as Kaden's.

            "This is the last day to train before tomorrow's test," Kaden reminded me.

            "In that case...," I started, "I'll race you to Aria's house!"

I then jumped over Kaden and took off across the trees.

            "You're on!" Kaden shouted.

As I ran I loaded my bow, for I knew Kaden would take the shortcut to Aria's house. I shot an arrow at a nearby branch. After about 20 seconds I hear an "oof" and I know my trap worked.  Soon, I made it to Aria's house with Kaden still trailing behind.

            "You only won because you tripped me," Kaden breathed heavily.  "I almost                                                              caught up."

            "Dude, you told me to get my game up and I did," I replied

        "Can you dorks stop arguing so we can go," Aria said lazily, as if she's said it before.

         "Have you even casted a spell yet, so called CharmCaster!?" Kaden spits back.

          "I have actually," Aria said." I'm just not a master at it yet."

           "Come on guys. We have to get as much training in as possible before tomorrow," I            countered.

           "Fine" Aria and Kaden replied.

Aria, Kaden, and I have been friends since as long as I can remember. We've been through everything together. Even though Aria was a warlock and her species as well as mine were enemies we all bonded like family. We talked for about 12 minutes until we arrived at our training spot.
