Wow. The past day has been the scariest and most bizarre thing that has ever happened to me. Not only have I gone from being the outcast and deformed child to the savior of the Universe, but I've almost killed a teacher and been kissed by an Elf. The same Elf then gave me this journal and told me to write about my experiences.
Woah...let me back up a bit there and I'll start with the dream I had last night.
It was the night before my first day of my second year at my high school, Garrien High, and I had just fallen asleep in my bed.
Almost immediately, I found myself on a hill inside an elaborate dream-world. I could hear a stream trickling nearby, smell the fresh scent of pine trees to my right, and feel the warm breeze that gently lifted up my hair.
And then, suddenly, I heard a sound coming from the forest and turned to find a cloaked figure standing next to me. He offered me his hand, and when I took it, he led me back through the forest to a small cottage in the middle of a vast corn field. The cloaked guy knocked on the door, and an old man answered it. He let the two of us in and the two led me through a huge house to a small living room where I was instructed to sit down.
When I did, the old man spoke:
"Well, Sarquan, is this her? Does she have the Angel birthmark?" I looked to the cloaked guy next to me me in surprise and astonishment. Nobody knew about my birthmark. The guy took off the hood of his cloak to reveal a beautiful Elven head. His hair was silver-blonde and his eyes a dark grey. He had pointy Elven ears like me, and his hair fell down past his shoulders. He nodded at the older Elf's question, then turned to me.
"No'uun, we needed to see you again, but you're not ready to come join us quite yet. We'll send you back now, but you will be called again."
The older Elf nodded and said: "Yes. I thought you might be the right age by now, but Human years are so much longer than ours because of their short life. Sarquan, you can at least lead her to her living quarters. Good night, Lady."
I was completely confused at what they were talking about, but I nodded and let myself be led to back through the vast house to another small room. This one had nothing but a large four-poster bed, a bureau with a lamp on it, and a small closet in the corner.
Sarquan let me in, then told me he would be back shortly, and that Cybilia would get me some pajamas to wear.
I sat down on the blood-red comforter of the bed, and was just about to reach toward the bizarre lamp, when I heard a knock on the door. I said "Come in" and the most beautiful creature I had ever scene entered.
She had long, curly strawberry blonde hair, one of her eyes was blue, while the other was the color of gold. A pair of silver fairy wings, like the ones you see in those fantasy movies, were fluttering silently at her back.
She spoke to me, and I felt completely at ease.
"Good evening, Lady. I have been ordered to give you some pajamas, so, here you are." She handed me a silky nightdress, and then said good night and was gone in the blind of an eye and a small gust of wind.
I blinked. Then was startled by a second knock at my door. Once again, I said, "Come in."
This time, Sarquan entered, holding a small black jewelry box in his hand. He walked over to me with a seren smile on his face and handed me the box.
"Here," he said. "Put it on. It will be a link between the two of us." I opened the box to find a single silver earring with a golden rose attached to the stem.
Sarquan picked it up and put it in my ear. I could feel myself blushing form the heat of his breath on my cheek.
Then, he did something completely uncalled for: he kissed me! eek I pushed him away, and said:
"What the hell was that? Get out of this room!!!" He bowed in apology and left and I was left alone to ponder what the earring was and why a strange person I had just met had just kissed me. I finally fell back asleep under the soft, blood-red sheets of the four-poster bed...
Phew. That took a while. I'll finish what happened the next day when I wake up tomorrow morning. It's really late, and Sarquan has told me that I'm to already start some form of training tomorrow.
Good night,
No'uun
