Here is some stuff you need to know

Common Tongue: a language known to every race and species, however after the Great War, when mythical creatures went into hiding, humans had forgotten it. It is said however all human languages were first based off of it.

Allsor: once a race of elves that could turn into deer. When the Great War between humans and mythical creatures happened the Allsor had very few warriors. Their leader ordered them to hide as deer until the war was over, however legend says that they stayed in the form to long explaining why they can't become their Elven forms again. They race then began breeding with regular deer leaving very few pure-bloods left (Stirbreth is a pure-blood) and the mixed blooded deer were pretty much normal except for having a more Elven level of intelligence.

Clan of Raziel: a nearly extinct race of elves that can transform into wolves. The clan and the Clan of Solomon were well known as the greatest warriors in the Great War, they led most of the battles and didn't back out of the war until the elf king ordered all elves to go into hiding. They are mortal enemies to the Clan of Solomon, and a war between them caused their numbers to drop, then their war abruptly ended thanks to the start of the Great War and with their numbers that were already low the new fight led them to be nearly extinct.

Clan of Solomon: a nearly extinct race of elves that can transform into saber-toothed cats with long tails. Enemies with the Clan of Raziel

I'm back, again…. Anyway disclaimer: I don't own anything but Starik and the story itself, the characters and original storyline are obviously not mine.

Lavi and Lenalee watched as the two men stared at each other, eyes twinkling with unknown emotions it seemed as if they were communicating with just their eyes, Finally Allen must have seen something good in the others' eyes as he took his hand off his sword and Kanda followed suit, never breaking the contact their eyes shared.

. . .

"Who are you people" the white-haired said, but unfortunately in a language the exorcists didn't understand, so they looked to Lavi for translation.

"Don't look at me, I have no idea what he said it sounded like a bunch of different languages, as far as I can tell the only language I can really compare it to is Latin by the way it sounds… but it still doesn't help me to understand it".

"So you can't translate it at all" Kanda asked frustrated.

"No, but I might know what language he's speaking, I think it's Elven, that would be why I can't understand it" Lavi explained.

. . .

Allen was speaking to Starik mentally as he watched the humans talking, though what they were saying was a mystery to him.

'Starik, I don't think they understand should I use magic so they can speak Elven'

'I don't care' he replied indifferently. Taking that as a yes, Allen closed his eyes to concentrate on the magic energy that flowed and wove itself through him like a winding river.

"Hello, do you understand me now" Allen asked a bit unsure.

All three of them looked up at him but Lavi was the first to reply, excitedly, "YES, are you an Elf"!

"Yes" Allen said and bowed deeply "and are you three really human?"

"What else would we be" Kanda said looking at Allen like he was stupid.

"I've never seen humans before" Allen replied.

. . .

"I've never seen humans before" the elf answered with a pout on his face that Kanda could only describe as cute.

Lavi grabbed Kanda and Lenalee and huddled together. "Kanda, don't be mean, we're tired and he could provide shelter, and think of all the info we could get out of him about were the other creatures are hiding" Lavi whispered to Kanda.

"But that's mean and wrong" Lenalee said with a frown.

"Its fine" Lavi said

"Che"

Turning back to the confused looking Elf and angry looking wolf at his side, Lavi was the first to speak up "We have been walking for a long time and were wondering if there is a place where we can stay and talk".

"Of course, we will stay at a cave nearby, I stay there when I'm exploring away from home or going on hunting trips, stuff like that" Allen explained.

. . .

Allen was really excited to be able to talk to these people but looking down at Starik his friend seemed really upset and seemed to be staring strangely at Allen.

"What" he asked the wolf, and the humans were wondering why he was trying to talk to and animal.

"I was just wondering why we are taking them with us instead of killing them" Starik said ignoring the surprised look of the humans.

"Why would we kill them?"

"You know why they are exorcists they kill people like us"!

"IT CAN SPEAK"! Lavi said jumping right in front of Starik and face to face looked at him like something to study.

"All creatures can speak" Allen explained "humans no longer speak Common Tongue that's why you don't understand them, you understand Starik because he speaks Elven and the spell I put on you allows you to understand Elven".

"So is he an Elf then" Lavi asked his nose almost touching Starik's.

"FIRST, I can talk myself so don't act like I'm not here or like I'm some experiment you humans do, SECOND I am a race of Elf for your information I just prefer this form to the Elf one" Starik growled loudly showing his teeth and his ears lied almost flat on his head. Allen quickly pulled the red-head back "He doesn't like people so close, and he bites" Allen said smiling, at the weary look the humans gave the large wolf. "The names' Allen by the way, fluff ball here is Starik"

"I'm Lavi, this is Lenalee and Kanda"

Allen's eyes once more locked with Kanda's blue ones, 'This might be interesting' Kanda thought looking at Allen's silver star-dust eyes.
