Livior Origins

Chapter 4

The years fly by with new friends and old

Livior had been living with Shriv and Genia for eight years now and even called them mom and dad. It was Liviors thirteenth birthday and when he awoke he smelled his favorite breakfast cooking and heard Genia humming the song She and Shriv used to sing him to sleep with. When he opened his eyes Shriv was hovering over him with his usual impish grin which startled Livior. Livior said "By the gods dad you scared the daylights out of me!"

Shriv laughed and said "Well this is your thirteenth birthday and everything about it should be memorable. After all today you are a man by our customs."

Livior smiled sat up and hugged his dad saying "Thanks dad."

Shriv pulled Livior to his feet and said "Get up and get washed and dressed. I have a very special present for you so hurry along now."

Livior said "Ok dad I'll get ready as fast as I can."

Livior now stood much taller than anyone in Cereba at just over six feet tall he had a muscular yet agile form. His chest was broad like Kents along with his shoulders but his midsection was leaner like a forest elf but well defined. His legs were larger and more muscular than a forest elf but not as thick as a human. His hair looked to be made of pure silver and his eyes were the color of solid gold and slanted slightly up toward the base of his ears which were substantially longer, nearly five inches long and more sharply pointed than the typical forest elf. The shape and size of his ears confused everyone including himself because he always thought his would be smaller and more rounded seeing as his father was human. His eyebrows curved up and ended in sharp points that nearly touched his hairline. His lips were relatively thin and came to sharp points as well which again seemed to go against the combination of his parentage. Overall he had a very intimidating appearance if a person did not know him. Over the years he had made only one friend of the two legged variety, a forest elf two years older than he himself by the name of Vahlt.

Vahlt was about a foot shorter than Livior with brown hair and eyes the color of a hazelnut. He had a build similar to Livior only smaller. Five years ago Livior was in the forest practicing with his bow when Vahlt stumbled into the clearing Livior was practicing in being chased by a bear who he had angered by touching her cub. When Livior saw the bear he asked "Please forgive him, I will make sure it does not happen again."

The bear came over to Livior and rubbed her head against Livior and he did the same to her and then left with her cub. Vahlt was his true friend from that moment on and walked with him through town threatening anyone who did not greet Livior when they greeted him which Livior thought was amusing.

As Livior was getting out of the wash basin Vahlt ran into his room and tackled him to the floor. Vahlt said "Your father thought you might need a little encouragement to get your act together and get out there."

Livior laughed and said "Ok, ok I'm coming but I can't dry off and get dressed with you on top of me!"

Vahlt got off of him and just stood in the corner watching him while tapping his foot and Livior knew he was not going to leave until Livior was dressed and heading out the door himself so he stood up and dried off. As he was getting dressed Livior said "You could at least turn around and give me some privacy while I'm naked!"

Vahlt replied laughingly "Oh please! We go swimming naked at the stream all the time, it's not like I haven't seen it all before."

Livior replied "Yea but we were both naked and you weren't just staring at me!"

Vahlt laughed turned around and mooned Livior saying "Better now?!"

Livior started laughing so hard he cried and said "Put that thing away you pervert!"
