(CHAPTER ONE)
-running-
Running through the woods theo stumbled upon a fallen tree and scanned the almost abnormal clearing that had appered before him . Being only 14 theo was not to familer with anything but his birth area and nothing more. theo carried a small blood stained dagger and nothing more, he wore torn and tattered clothing covered in dirt and grime, he could hear the assalents approching fast upon his heels as he stood before the clearing. the boys first thought was ~what shall i do? were can i run too ?~ his heart tumbled over and over within his chest as if having a life of its own wanting to leap from his cold flesh and into the coming night beyond. the darkness was approching fast as he ran to the left out of the clearing darting as fast as his legs would allow him , the last of the light glisened upon theo's dripping dagger and fadded behind the thick bushals of forest. theo had been running for less then an hour but it was starting to feel like an eternity of fear and hatetred as he remembered his past and delt with the present .
the elven clan went about their every day lives as they always seemed to do , but one woman in particuler stood out from the rest of the clan not only for her age but she wore the gown of the elven elder the woman was a symble of power for the elves of this clan.there had been many elders but only this one still lived from that of the great war that had happened many centerys back . the woman went about looking around as if looking for something very important but not many there knew what the woman was searching for and none would speek of it if they did . a slight smile spread accrossed the womans werry and withered features , the smile dispite her ware and tear from her age showed her true beauty she was a stunning woman by all means her form was delicate and handled with care many of the other elven women envyed her for it and many hated her on the contrery , but all of that did not matter to her. the old woman knelt down next to a bush of wild berrys on the out skirts of the clans boarders and started to gather berrys from them only native to thier lands its was a wild sort of berry that was truly poisenus if not handled and prepered with care before consumtion but at times the elves of this clan would use it as a poisen for many purposes .
the woods were now dark as theo fell stubbling over a rather large rock jutting just barly from the massive amounts of leaves covering the forest floor and he desided to try somthing at that very instance while he was laying upon his belly in the dirt of the woods . theo swiftly rolled onto his back lifting his knees to his tummy and used his hand to cover most of him self in leaves and in the process covered the rock for the most part as well and waited . suddenly after 10 minutes or so he heared the foot falls of 3 maybe more of the assalents that had been chasing him for the many long hours that had past. as a foot hit the leef covered ground not even a few inches from from were theo waited gripping his dagger bloody tight wondering if he should act or wait, just then a loud crack erupted and blood fell onto theo's face as the assalents body fell heavily upon the ground his head split damn near in two . theo was stunned at this sudden action not knowing what to think of it theo leaped up and swung his dagger with an unusal speed but a rather large furry paw like hand gripped his wrist in a breaking presure almost sending theo into tears , a split second and the pain in his wrist was now gone and the wolven creature was laying upon the ground infront of him howling in pain his arm had been severed at the wrist still hanging onto theo's wrist , this sent a wild scream forth from theos lungs not knowing if he was next . then his body gave out and he fell to the ground from lack of energy and strength .
the elven woman was now watching over the distance as she finished picking the berrys. suddenly the tavern bells rang loud, this was a warning of a battle or and attack on their clan. elves scurryed about gathering weapons and those that had no training in the ways of war gathered up anything that could be used as a weapon for they had grown warry of times lately for they had lost many to recent attacks . all that was seen was a single attacker he was a massive man about 8 foot 3 inches tall larger then any male in the entire village but this was nothing new for the elven elder woman she had seen many shapes and sizes of men creatchers and women , quickly she steped to the side and snatched up her staff that she had never left to far from anywhere she ever was and stood tall and slender in front of the massive man her staff raised as she began to chant beneath her breath , just then a familer site filled her eyes it was her dear son the boy she had saved from a younge age , he layed limp in the massive mans arms . her chants abrutly came to a halt as she looked into the massive mans eyes seeing now that he ment no harm at least to them , her eyes softened and she tossed her staff to a soldier standing next to her and beckoned for them to go about their bussiness and leave them to be . her voice was soft but clearly carryied power that was un touched by any amung them as she said
~what is it that i can offer you my freind? for you carry my son within your arms ~ her eyes stayed keen on the man and her son . the man held the boy tight to his chest as if his own his massive axe apon his back was dripping in blood as he reached down and pulled a small elven dagger and tossed it at the womans feet . without a word he reached back into his bag and pulled out the severed clawed hand and tossed it next to the dagger and then pointed to the boy . the elven woman nodded and knelt down to pick up both the dagger and the paw as she spoke ~so my son was attacked ? he seems to always be getting him self into some thing but this is the first time since i took him in that he has been full on attacked now i fear that it shall only get worse from here ~ the woman turned on her heels and beconed for the large man to follow with her tiny hand , leading the man into the tavern as he carryed her son in his arms they sat and started to speak back and forth sortly after the woman had made sure some one was makeing a pile of fur for her son .

-getting together-
The next morning was quiet as the man woke , reaching down he gripped his leather top and started too strap it too his body readying himself for the day ahead of him . scanning the room the man locked his eyes apon his axe it had been moved and cleaned this agrivated the man very severly but just as he stood too his full hight he noticed something that was a bit off to him, the boy that he had saved was laying in a small curled up ball behind his massive axe this actually made the man smile for the first time in a long time . stepping forward the man left his axe sitting their agaist the wall and steped out of his quarters that he had been given for the night , scanning the rather small vilage the man stepped fully out and streached too his full hight of 8 foot 3 inches and spread his massive arms out too both sides and grunted under his breath from streaching his stiff body . looking about he had noticed that he had woken up way earlyer then most in the village so the man searched his massive foot fals seeming too be unusaly light against the dirt of the village walking areas he came upon the out side or a rather large living quarters and cleared his thorte rather loudly at the sleeping guard out side the living quarters . hearing the large mans throte being cleared sent the guard scurrying into the wall behind him gripping for his weapon like a scared rat this made the large man laugh out loud and speak . ~where is the elder woman who allowed me in last night boy ?~ . the guared tryed too look tough as he finally got fully too his feet and strightened up but only made himself look even sillyer beneather the larger mans gaze and spoke with a forced tone .~ she is in the room behind me sir what is it you .............~ ,before the boy could finish saying what he wanted too the large man had already started into her quarters met by the end of a staff to his throte which mad him chuckle and look blankly at the woman not ever trying too draw his weapons for he ment no harm too this woman , his voice was ratehr low the sound of a chuckle still within it .~ may i ask what the staff is at my throte for dear ?~. the woman smiled and lowered her staff quickly and laughed as her voice was sweet and soft . ~its only instink too guared ones self from a man of your size when you do not even ask too enter just barge in or is it on or your kinds customes to be so rude ?~ the mans brows furrowed at her remark and looked down on her his voice surprised .~rude ? now how was that in any way rude if i have too talk about rude i woke too my axe have been moved and cleaned too you have any clue too how rude it is to touch a weapon that is not yours? ~ . looking up at him her smile faded ~and who was it that touched it ? i shall have a word with him but i do not see how its rude for one too clean something you would have too do any how ~ . looking down as he chuckled he said bluntly ~ your son ~ this made the woman chuckle ~ my son aye ? well hes a boy do you honestly expect me too yell at a biy for trying too help the man who saved his life ? ~ . turning his back on the woman he smiled too him self ~ no i do not in all honesty it makes me want a son of my own but i can not have one for no woman seems to want a man such as my self that could die in battle at any point in time ~ without another word he steped out and walked back towared his sleeping quarters at a slow but heavy pace as if now upset .
Theo looked about as he awoke hopeing that the man had seen his work and was waiting to thank him but too his diapointment the man was not there yet left the axe what was the meaning of that ? maybe the man had left in a hurry but for what reason ? and why would a man like him ever leave his axe ?. the boy once again lifts the axe with a hard time onto his back and steps out of the sleeping quarters into the village and starts too scan the village and walk towared the quarters of his mother just then a rather large preasure hit the boys back and then the axe was lifted with ease off his back and the boy turns swiftly to rudely yell at whoever had taken the axe from his back but stoped wide eyed as the large man who had saved his life was now standing face too face with him , seeing the man was as big as he was for the first time made the theo flinch slightly and then he smiled ~h...hello sir i..i was just bringing that too you i thought you left us with out takeing it i knew you would not leave us who sent you sir did my mother send you too look for me when i was in the woods ? or maybe ......~the boy trailed off at the mans smiles . ~what is it sir ? why are you smiling ? ~ the man looked down and spoke ~no one sent me boy it was just your lucky day i guess i could not let the foul lycans hurt a young boy so i took it on my self too step in ~ theo looked up at the man and smiled as he nodded. ~what might your name be sir i am theo son of the elder marcel ~theo bows softly to the man . looking down apon the boy he smiles and says well theo i saw how you fought out there and i would be honored too tell you my name it is Gra my boy but who is it that tought you too fight as you did ? ~ theos eyes brightened as the man spoke of him fighting ~ well sir i would not have lived if you had not come but my mother sir shes the one who tought me too fight ~ the mans smile got wide as theo spoke . ~well theo your mother must be a fine fighter for you did very well for your size and age and i have never seen a boy ever even live as long as you did against 3 lycans so i have a question i must ask your mother before i depart ~ theos smile was gone now .~is that what was after me lycans ? but ..... welll i........ wait you said departing but what if they return again ?~ Gra looked down at theo and reached out grabbing his shoulder firmly with his massive hand ~you will be fine i killed all 3 of them did not let even one live and even if others do come you mother and her people can protect you im sure .~ looking up the boy frowned ~ my mother knows this will get worse they are after me because i am a abomination too them i an not what i seem gra i am not elven nor is marcel my true mother though no one will ever take her place as such my mother was a lycan gra and father was well a djinn a shifter so my mother marcel took me in too protect me and now that im of age too fight back they want me dead ~ theo started too weep softly trying too hide his face from the man. gra looked down at theo knowing the boy had lots of hurt with in him but also lots a curage and spirit as well ~well theo let us go too your mom for on the next riseing i must depart~
