The night was black, the inky darkness being dispersed only when the crescent moon peeked from behind a cloud. There was as much sound as there was light, the only disturbance being slight gusts of wind blowing across the great forest. Every animal was tucked away within in own nook or cranny at this late time of night. Only one creature was about, only this one did not fear the dark or the utter lack of sight it brought most beings. This creature could see through the darkness as if it were day. It could hear every individual leaf rattle when the wind came by. It could smell every scent that permeated the air.
The being walked through the magical forest, which was named Du Weldenvarden in what was practically a stroll. This Forest and it's inhabitants to not welcome unknown intruders such as this one, and any other creature would have been in grave danger for trespassing in this place. Yet this creature, this humanoid creature, had nothing to fear. He was completely at ease, as he should be. The race that populated this forest was in no way capable of harming him.
The man walked for less than an hour through the forest when he heard an unfamiliar noise. He paused for a brief moment, and then smiled to himself as he realized what it was. The noise was an älfa, an elf, or three of them to be precise. The noise he heard was the sound of their attempted stealth. The man turned to face the exact hiding spot of the elves, and then called out in a voice so magnificent, so confident, and so filled with magic, that any Man, Dwarf, or Elf would be jealous of it. "Why do you try to follow me without me knowing of it, fair Elves? Reveal yourselves, so that we may converse as civilized beings"!
A moment passed before a single female elf with hair so bright a silver, it resembled a galaxy of stars, and was visible even in the gloom. "You are intruding upon our forest, and we must ask you to leave this place". The man just chuckled and replied "Ah, it appears that Elves are much more to the point than since I last saw them. Unfortunately, I cannot leave, I have business that needs attended to".
As he said this, the Elf's face turned as cold and stone-like as a statue. Without lifting eye contact, the she-elf drew her bow and aimed a goose feather arrow directly at the mans heart. "This is your last chance, said the Elf. Leave or die". The smile faded from the mans face, and his eyes gleamed with the unmistakable look of a predators. "I will not leave this place Elf, and I would not do that if I were you". The elf narrowed her already feline eyes and without another second hesitation let loose the arrow.
The man said or moved nothing, yet when the arrow was less than a single foot from piercing his heart, there was a flash of light and the arrow disappeared. The Elf's shock lasted less than a second, and she was already pulling her bow up into firing position when another flash of light appeared behind her, and she heard a slight Thunk and the ripping of cloth. Confused, she looked down to see her own arrow sticking out of her chest. The Elf dropped to her knees, her heart tearing itself apart on the arrow as it beat. The man had not simply redirected the arrow with magic, he had done something much, much more difficult.
Suddenly three kaleidoscopic spheres circled the man, lighting up the forest for hundreds of yards in all directions. The man looked at the two other furious, half-blinded Elves, his features now clearly visible in the light of the spheres. His eyes constantly changed colors, like the spheres. He was taller than either of the remaining Elves, but just as thin and lithe. Every inch of his skin was grey, the color of thunderheads before a storm. "You dare to attack me? You have the audacity to oppose one who had walked this land hundreds of years before your race even arrived here? Before you die for your mistake, you should know who I am. I am an Ancient One, a Creator of The language, the Master of Spirits, and the last of the Greyfolk. Now go easily into the Void, knowing you had no chance of stopping me at all".
It is a start, please tell me if I should make a new main character or continue with Eragon and Saphira. Reviews are appreciated
