A Much Needed Home, Ch.1

So I know I probably shouldn't post a new story, but I've had this idea for a while now! I would like to say that I won't update all the time, it'll probably usually be really random, and they won't be long. Please no flames! Constructive criticism and comments ONLY! Sorry it's so short, just a prologue right now! Anyway, please enjoy story!


Sighing, I watched as the towns people bustled down the crowded streets. Taking a small sip of my hot chocolate, I calmly sat on the patio of the local cafe. Though it wasn't the best, old man Yoshi gives me a good deal since he runs the place. Silently I stopped my people watching and turned to the newspaper that was in my hands, reading a very interesting topic. "Monkey D. Luffy?" I questioned out loud as I looked at the poster sitting neatly in the printed paper.

"Looks like a new pirate" I turned to see the old man walking up behind me. He had a long grey hair and wrinkles littered his face, showing his many years. He was quite lanky and he walked around with a cane, seeing how his old legs could barely let him stand. His blue eyes were shining with life however as he smiled fondly at me. "And why is little Mayu here, sitting outside all alone?" he questioned, and I smiled lightly at him as well.

"You know my hobby Gramps, watching to see if we have any known people around" I said as I turned back to the paper, only to be smacked in the back of the head with a cane, causing my nogan to hit the table. "itte" I groaned as I rubbed my red forehead and turned to the culprit. "I'm not an old man you brat, I still have tones of life left in these bones" Yoshi said, and though he still had his smile, his eyes gleamed with annoyance. Gulping I stood up from my seat, my drink long forgotten.

"H-Hai" I stuttered, not wanting to piss off the man further. Chuckling, he turned and headed back into the cafe. Just before he disappeared, he stuck his head out the door. "I feel something is coming Mayu. Something big" and with that, the door closed behind him. I stood in my spot in confusion, not sure on how to react to that. "I think he's getting to old for his age, talking gibberish like that" I grumbled, still rubbing the back of my head where he hit me.

I walked off the patio and wondered the road, ignoring the many disgusted stares I got. Why, you may ask?

You see, I'm something you don't see ofter. With my big pointed ears, I'm one of the last elfs on earth. Plus my white eyes and curly pale hair was held in a high ponytail. I wore a murky green vest and a grey long-sleeved shirt. My pants were cargo pants and another strange thing? No shoes. For with the power of my devil fruit, I walk in the air. Usually.

Sighing, I pushed my black glasses higher onto my nose before turning down an alleyway. People think it's strange that I don't have a home, but I've lived alone for my whole life so... I don't really have a place called home.

I don't remember much, since I had amnesia at the young age of 5, but I do know my name is Levine Mayu and I'm 12 years old. That's it. Not my family, nor my home. I was found in a barrel floating in the water by some local fisherman, and I've stayed on this island ever since. Many scientists were confused at the news, see as how Elves have been extinct for about 400 years and there's no known island with them on it.

Except Marina Island, which has one. Me.

I guess I could have it worse. I mean, I've had people come up to me to see if I wanted to be at the circus, if I wanted to join their crew, and even Vice Admiral Garp come up to me to see if I was willing to join the marines! That was a long time of running and hiding before he had to leave. Gosh, just thinking about it makes me shiver!

Before, the sun disappeared as was replaced with the moon. I sat(Floated) by the harbor in thought as the moon shone on to the water. Stars littered the sky above and I watched as a one flew. "Shoot star, eh?" I mutter, looking back at the water. Believe me when I say that I would love to go on the ocean, sail with friends and go to new places. But I first need to make friends, then see if they want to sail the seas that are full of pirates, marines, and even the unexplainable! But nobody would want to do that on this island.

But most of all, I want to explore my past. We have a library here but nothing on Elves so I know little to nothing at all about my kind. It makes me think about so many things. Maybe my kind were strange and disgusting, maybe they were like nobles, or even scum that you wouldn't even want on your shoes. There's too many possiblities for me to comprehend what I even am!

Sighing, I placed my knees close to my chest and sighed. Maybe one day, I'll find friends who would like to be my family, who wouldn't mind that I'm an elf and treat me like I'm a somebody, or even find out what an elf was and even is?!

"Maybe, just Maybe" I whispered into the dark night as I slowly leaned against the nearby barrel, sat on the ground to give my powers a rest, and slept in silence.

Little did I know that everything I had wished for, came true.
