Chapter 1 The King of Miratang

It was a sunny day; an elven boy by the name of Rycor Avalon was sitting under a tree in his little world of Miratang.

Miratang wasn't just any place, it was land that floated in the sky,

secluded from the world.

Rycor lived with his future mate, Lila, who had the same surname as him, "Avalon", because she was to be his mate.

Boy elves and girl elves didn't have a choice who their mates were, because mates were chosen at birth, and all elves looked the same.

All boys had that same "mop top" hair, and one horn on their head that grew bigger and sharper with age.

All girls had long blond hair, had no horns on their head, and had symbols all over their body which showed what mood she was in.

Rycor had fallen asleep under the tree, and snored peacefully; he was a boy of twelve, and his horn was at about mid-level, and was as sharp as a tac!

Lila came up from behind him, she was twelve too, but she was turning thirteen, the symbols on her neck and leg were shining, meaning pain and anger.

"You lazy bum Rycor!" cried Lila, "I looked all over Miratang for you, and I find you snoozing under a tree!"

Rycor got up looking straight at Lila's leg, scared for his mate.

"What pains you Lila, I see you're in pain!" cried Rycor.

"Nothing Rycor…" said Lila blushing, the symbol on her neck starting to stop shining.

"Okay Lila, but if something is attacking you, tell me!" cried Rycor, "I can fight him off with my horn!"

This made the symbol on Lila's neck start to shine again, "Why do you always show off that horn?"

Rycor gave her a look like what she said was the dumbest question ever, "Because a horn is a male's pride, that's why!"

Lila ran off angrily, not looking back.

"Stupid Woman, asking me why a horn is special!" cried Rycor, "Something is hurting my mate though, and I need to stop it!"

Rycor ran across the bridge to the castle ruins of Miratang; Miratang used to be a great land, ruled by Rycor's grandfather, but then when he died it was attacked by airborne humans, and his father and mother and Lila's parents were killed, leaving him and Lila as the only ones left.

His parents had said that Lila was his "mate" though and he didn't fully understand that until last month, where he created the "the light pillar"…

A light pillar was something that all elven boys went through, when the light pillar of the male combines with the light sphere of the female combines the sphere starts to grow into an Illion, an elf embryo.

He realized that it was Lila's sphere his pillar was to combine with and so he became very protective of her…

"Who's there?" asked Rycor, seeing a bush move, "Oh hi, Mr. Loaferman!"

Mr. Loaferman was of a different race of elf then Rycor, they looked like rabbits combined with horses.

"Hello, Rycor boy, looking for Lila I presume?" said Mr. Loaferman kindly.

"Nah, I was actually looking for a monster that's been attacking Lila!" cried Rycor.

"Ho, ho, ho!" cried Mr. Loaferman, "Why, there hasn't been a monster here in 200 years!"

"Oh, well maybe I'll go grab a bite to eat in Lethargica…" said Rycor.

The land Rycor lived on was split in two parts: Miratang, country of the Edenfires, Rycor's tribe, and Lethargica, country of the yeastfattes, Mr. Loaferman's tribe.

"Sorry boy, but Lethargica's gate is broken!" cried Mr. Loaferman.

"Oh, then you should come to our house Mr. Loaferman!" cried Rycor.

"Oh thank you Rycor!" cried Mr. Loaferman, "I thought for sure I would be out in that horrid storm coming!"

"Don't worry Mr. Loaferman!" cried Rycor, "This is my pleasure!"

Mr. Loaferman smiled a deep smile at this, this was all going according to plan…
