"Again."
The sun was setting over the horizon, turning the forest a multitude of colours. He panted as sweat dripped off his brow and onto the ground beneath him but he obeyed the command anyway and forced his body through another round of difficult body maneuvers ranging from flips, to punches and kicks. It was a top level physical training exercise called taishanto that improved agility and fitness as well as teaching him martial arts at the same time. When he had first started doing taishanto,when he was three, he hadn't even managed to achieve the first level once without getting major cramps and sore muscles. Now, almost eight years later, he was able to get through the highest level six times in a row before he even broke a sweat.
"Your slacking off! Fix your stance and start over again." Kaileen shouted at him.
He smoothly shifted from the seventh stance into the first one and began again, starting his taishanto for the eleventh time in a he finally finished the last stance without error, he turned and bowed to his instructor. Kaileen had been responsible for his training for as long as he could remember. It had been her that had saved him when he was three and her that had raised him ever since. She had given him a new name when he was accepted into her family and thats who he had been every since. Leilki. Once he was dismissed, Leilki made his way down to the stream where he could bathe in peace. As he washed, he saw his reflection in the water.
He had brilliant green eyes and hair as black as night. He had delicate features and flawless olive skin. His looks were far more beautiful then any human could ever achieve, a direct result from his prolonged usage of faerie magic. As he was still young when he started using faerie magic, it had changed him past appearances. He had the increased stamina, strength, senses and agility a faerie had. That, on top of the training he had been through, produced an extremely beautiful, fit, young boy, who would grow up to be a very fine young man.
Leilki smiled with perfectly white teeth and finished washing himself before climbing out. He dressed in traditional faerie clothes, natural coloured shirt with leggings and soft leather boots. Faeries didn't cut their hair, as the length of your hair told others your standing in the Faerie court, so he tied back his long, flowing hair with a tie and placed several flowers in it. He'd chosen emerald ones to further emphasize his eyes and make them look even more beautiful than before. Then he made his way to the central greeting area where they dined and had parties. Faeries were very free creatures that had next to no communication with the outside world and would entertain themselves however they liked.
They chose things like personal fitness, musical talents and other activities to keep themselves occupied. Leilki himself excelled in anything physical, musical and artistic. The sound of music drifted in between the trees and it was such a happy tune that it made him want to immediately start dancing along with the other faeries he could see even from this distance. He laughed and joined in the dancing, twirling around and round. They continued on far into the night, dancing away with music in their ears.
When Leilki woke up the next morning, the first thing he noticed was the silence. Faeries don't keep to sleep patterns so there was always at least one musical instrument going at any time. But this morning, there was silence. He looked around in surprise, trying to figure out why there was no music but he couldnt find anything to suggest why. Deciding that everyone might just be tired from the night before, he got up to go to Kaileen's for his morning round of taishanto when he heard a noise coming from the forest surrounding his home. Frowning, Leilki walked silently to where he had heard the noise but couldnt find anything. Leilki had just turned back to the sleeping faeries when he heard a small click and a sharp pain radiated from just in between his shoulder blades. Twisting around to look, He was shocked to see blood streaming down his back. A moment later three more clicks resounded around the forest and two more blood spots appeared on his body, one on his left leg and one on his right forearm. He fell to the floor, trying to understand what was happening when people emerged from the forests holding black metal objects that made clicking noises and shot silver clumps, a faeries weakness. They swarmed upon the sleeping faeries, shooting everything in sight, he was forced to watch as the humans killed countless faeries. Silver polluted faeries blood, like poison. It caused the blood thicken until it couldnt flow anymore and no oxygen reached their brain, effectively killing the faerie.
He watched, unable to close his eyes, as every member of his family was murdered by humans. Even though he wasn't a true faerie, enough of his blood and body was changed by faerie magic so although silver didnt kill him, it still rendered him immobile and caused him to have sluggish thoughts. Hours passed and Leilki found himself wishing for the silence that had been so horrible this morning, for even silence was better than screams. When the humans finally left, leaving total and utter destruction in their wake, he just lay there, unable to look away from the carnage before him. He prayed for someone to come help them but knew it was hopeless. Faeries were an extremely private race that didnt like other races meddling in their affairs. He doubted that anyone even knew their location, let alone what had happened. So when more people stormed the village, Leilki's first reaction was anger. How dare they came back. One time wasnt enough for them? They had to do it all over again. He tried getting up but all he could manage was to balance on his elbows.
"This one's alive here!" One of them shouted, running over to him.
The man was holding a long piece of wood and Leilki couldnt help but assume it was a weapon. He tried to summon his magic but he couldnt concentrate on anything. The man had finally reached him and he knelt down beside him.
"It's ok, you're safe now. Calm down, you're going to be alright."
Leilki tried to resist, to fight, to avenge his family. But he couldnt. He couldnt stop his eyelids from drooping over his eyes as he fell into a restless sleep.
hey ok i know this chapter might be a but confusing but I want harry to be fully accepted into the faerie community and i knew that couldnt happen if he still had a human name. Dont worry though, his wizard name is still harry so while he's at hogwarts thats what they'll call him:) just try imagine it as a english name and chinese name. two names for the same person deppending on who they're with.
please review if you need anything?
