The Golden Few

A boy barely capable of wielding a sword is usually titled unworthy in the human realm. Yet, Gäbriel North does not share the same faith, as he is born the saviour, a promised hero, a title passed on from generations before him. Men who had the previous recognition were the same who led brutal wars, who would carry the weight of entire armies with a single nail, or so the legends say. Yet, this boy couldn't handle a weapon or stretch a bow without making his fingers sore, nor did he want to be a hero. He simply wanted to be but not become, especially not a weapon. Even so, war has been upon their kingdom for 2000 years, humans and elves have been at each other's throats since anyone can remember.
His unwillingness will shift to desperation when his friend vanishes overnight in the heat of battle. This leaves him no choice but to leave amenity behind and face the creatures beyond the forest, in hopes of finding her before trouble does.
While he is relentlessly tossed between life and death, things do not go as planned and faith leads him to the creatures he was built to kill, meant to despise and end. But he finds no hate for the creatures, only a shared purpose they will soon have to defend together, as both foes and friends.
