I started three months ago, and the writing style changes later in the story. Reviews are very welcome! (but please don't flame too much D:)
As long as Joby remembered, she was an orphan. She strangely has completely no memory of her parents, and used to walk around the woods where she lived and got food and toys from her friends en neighbors. Because she had no parents, she never learned how to fight, and unlike most, she just couldn't become a fighter for Roika. So all of her friends left and became vagrants. She was left alone, she wouldn't even try the exam to become one.. She was so sure she would fail.. After spending the day finding food on her own, she gave up finding even more then mushrooms and tried to go to sleep in a bush where she hid her possessions. Thinking of her only support and friends who had left for the island of Flaris, she sobbed and finally went to sleep, never knowing what would happen while she was there.. Joby was dreaming. It was unlike any dream she ever had, though.. Monsters of all sizes invaded her hometown, wrecking everything and setting it on fire. She tried to stay calm with the thought that it was only a dream, but something told her there was something wrong with this dream. Was she even dreaming?! She decided to take it for the best and she attacked one of the blue, bat-like monsters. It head-butted her and sent her flying , thinking: "How can such a little thing be so strong!" The attack had hurt her too much and she lost consciousness.When she woke up, she wasn't in her little bush anymore. She looked around; where was she? A person in glowing robes told her: "Welcome to the island of Flaris."
She almost screamed, being surprised at where she was, and confused about what had happened. "I don't know how to fight! I don't know what to do! I can't fight at all! I never learned from my parents.." Now just realizing she was screaming, and looked at her saviour blushing. "Sorry.. I just panicked a little, excuse me for screaming.." Now looking at the guy in glowing robes, she noticed he was kind of handsome, making her even more shy. She examined him better and noticed he was wearing a long, brown jacket, and a hat with a feather in the same color. He was wearing some kind of suit in the same shade of brown. His hair ; contrasting with his clothes, was curly and lime green. It looked funny and Joby couldn't help but giggle. "What is your name?" She asked the guy but the only thing he said was : "I'll tell you later. The most I can tell you now is that I'm an elementor. What's your name?"
He tilted his head sidewards and looked at Joby. She told herself : "Am I still blushing? I cant talk normally to a guy like this!?" He asked her again what her name was and she answered ; "Erm ... I'm Jo..Joby. Nice to meet you, elementor sir! " She smiled and her eyes met his for a second. His eyes were as green as his hair and were a beautiful shade of light green. He looked at her and said ; "You are free to use the bathroom to freshen up, after that I will teach you how to fight in this world. She mumbled a thanks and went to the bathroom, a few rooms farther. She looked at herself in the mirror, and she couldn't help but say "I look horrid, I guess that dream was real then.. " She washed her face and noticed a big bruise on her forehead. She looked for something to make it less, and found some candy in the form of a star. It looked so yummy and she couldn't help but take a bite. She nearly fell back in shock because the thing seemed to be totally filled with sugar, but when she looked at her hear, the bruise was gone. She washed her dark brown curly hair and put it in two ponytails. Her hair was as dark brown as her eyes.
Her eyes weren't just a shade of brown, they were so brown that they nearly were black. Also, one of her eyes had a mark to the left of it. On her left arm her family symbol was drawn; or tattooed, because it would never come off. After freshening up, she saw her clothes looked more like rags. She saw a box next to the candy with on it : for special students. She opened it and saw a beautiful pink outfit. She put it on and just loved the look of it, but didn't want to make it dirty! She folded it and put it into her backpack and took out a more durable looking outfit. Now she was ready to go! When she walked back to the living room, she saw a note on the door ; "Take a bundle of candy and meet me in the garden for your lessons ! " She took of the note and noticed there was a ring stuck on the back of the note. It had a cute ring on the back, with a heart on it. She put it on her finger, just knowing it was for her. Then she walked to the garden.
Here the guy was waiting for her. Next to him were lying a pretty shiny sword, and a shield that looked very shiny as well. He said: "Grab that sword and shield and try killing that bat." When she turned around to look at her enemy; she saw in shock it was one of the same creatures that had head butted her and sent her flying.
She didn't want to look like a wimp, so she charged the thing and cut it in half. After that she felt stronger and picked up the lolly the dead bat had dropped. "Wow, that wasn't hard at all! " She said with a huge grin on her face. The elementor just smiled. He thought to himself; "I know it now. She is the one." After fighting for a whole day, she followed the elementor back home and fell asleep on the couch. The fifth day she made a huge mistake. She saw boys walking around, in striped shirts and since those were the first people she had seen in a year, she ran and tried to talk to them. The horde of boys just charged her and one managed to stab her arm with a fork he always was holding. She fell.

When she finally came to, she looked in the worried eyes of the elementor. He had saved her just on time and had waited by her side till she woke up, for about a day since she got hit on her family mark, what seemed to be a very sensitive spot.. "Joby, are you okay?!" he nearly shouted when she opened her eyes. "Yes.. I'm fine, what happened? Why is my shoulder hurting so bad?" she asked. "Its a wound from the Demian that attacked you, and I cant heal it in some way.. We need more advanced healing techniques.." he answered. "I'm fine! I'm ready to fight again! Its just a scratch on my shoulder, it can't be so bad !" and she tried to stand and fell again. "Well I see you cant even stand, so lets find some people to help." Since Joby lived here, she never saw another person then the elementor, and was anxious to meet others. "Well, since you cant walk, I'll have to carry you there, are you okay with that?" Thinking of how that would be, Joby blushed and said "Er.. okay that's okay..."
After this the elementor picked her up, but he couldn't help but notice she was nearly as light as a feather, what worried him a little. He walked for hours and hours but couldn't find a single person. So then he pulled out a board and put it on. He had never tried to fly without hands before but he thought it would be fine. He stepped on the board and took off. Joby closed her eyes in fear, not knowing what would happen next. When she looked around her, she could see the clouds and she suddenly felt calm. She stuck out her hand and stuffed a little bit of the magical clouds around her in her pocket. When they descended, she could -for the first time in a long time- see people!
Not people who stab you, but talking people who actually make jokes and have fun! She grinned and started waving -with her arm that wasn't hurt- at the people who she saw. When they landed, the elementor stuffed his board back in his pocket -what Joby found kind of strange since the board was nearly her size- and layed her down on the ground. Soon a boy with a weird-looking stick came running . "Darren, is it really you, buddy!" he yelled ,and Joby looked at Darren in surprise. "Why wouldn't you tell me your name was Darren? I like the name. its a pretty name" she said and smiled. Darren said nothing, but just smiled. The guy with the stick ran over and started introducing himself. "Oh hi little girl! I'm Roland." "Whats your name? What happened to you?" "I'm Joby",she said."I got stabbed by a Demian but my arm wont get better, and it hurts so much I cant stand!"
"I'm sure I can help" Roland said and he started turning the stick-weapon and whispered spells. Suddenly Joby felt all warm inside and she felt her arm heal. "Hmm.. this is a weird sort of wound" Roland said. "I cant totally heal it! This is the best I can do, sorry" Joby was ready to fight anyway so she stood up. She told Darren "Well, can I fight here? Am I strong enough? Tell me! " Darren would rather keep her safe in the woods but he wanted to see her happy so he said "It's fine. We'll stay at Roland's house in the meantime and I think you can take those monsters." He pointed at some plant-looking monsters further on. "Those are Feferns, and they are a little stronger then you. I think you can take them though" he said and winked. "I'm going to talk to Roland for a while, I'll check on you in a bit." Joby walked over to the monsters and two-hit killed them. She picked up the foods the monster dropped and started killing more and more, feeling stronger every time. After a few hours, Darren came back with a present.
"I'm sure that you'll be strong enough to class change in a few days, so I brought you some stuff." He showed her a picture book with classes that she could become and the outfits and weapons. She immediately looked at the elementor part, and pointed at the earlier class; the Mage. "I got it! I'm going to be a mage, and then an elementor just like you, Darren!" she said with a huge grin. Darren grinned "Just as I thought!" He handed her a bag with some clothes she could wear and as a surprise, he gave her a staff that looked identical to his. "Wow! Aren't you much stronger then me Darren? How could I use this staff!". "It's a secret" Darren said, and no problem!
"Now get back to training, you" he said with a huge grin on his face.
