Magic Of The Falls-1
It wasn't really my ideal place to live. I always preferred to live in the woods with my family and friends. Like so many Elves, I am drawn to nature and plants. Even worshipping nature itself. We are attuned with the Sky, The Earth, and the Sea...we have dominion over such. The days of the beginning years, humans showed up. Innocent in life itself. We helped them grow, taught them our ways. Even showed them how to do magic....you know them as Witches, Wizards, Warlocks, Magicians, Sorcerers, and much more.
Over the years, mankind began to see themselves physically stronger than their elven brethren. They became arrogant and heartless in their pursuit of power and dominance against us. Our complex for love seemed too much to understand, so we simply picked up and left all in one night. A shock to mankind, most searched and searched for us. In search of forgiveness of what they have done to us. Seems you don't know what you have until it's gone hit them rather hard.
The others didn't care and soon established a system that watched over all of mankind. To make sure that they stayed pure of any "Elven" influence"
The Three Laws:
-
Cease any/all practice of magic.
-
Destroy any/all Elven influence.
-
Trust in the system more than yourselves.
These laws became the main laws and many branched from them. This System soon became known as Government. Each time it changed but each time remained true to it's corrupt self. And like any corrupt system comes those who have to rebel. Magic still existed and was still used among all of those who wished for more than to be servants. The Government destroyed any and all magic that they could find.....murder of Abraham Lincoln, Salem Witch Trials, witch trials in Europe, even the dreaded Holocaust. Hitler was against the Jews...but when magic was found amongst the Jews, Hitler feared cease of control. It was really a way to purge magic from the people. The government finally settled to what is today as the United Nations. Silently keeping the world human one day at a time. That however is another story...mine has to do with how my life changed after meeting a special man.
I was going to what is Magic Falls, Virginia from Alaska. My brother was in the forest. Using magic on the trees, he came across trees that have died recently due to spontaneous combustion. Growing trees and controlling them is one thing. Reviving them is another ( Elves come with general magic, and certain abilities. My brother has control over Earth and plants. My sister had psychokinesis, all that entails with mental abilities. My mother and father had the power over the Sea and Elements. I had only the power over the weather.) His true form was revealed to some hikers. Soon the Government was after us.
Brother came running into the cottage. His face damp with sweat, flushed skin breathing heavily, his red hair that all of the family except me had, wind whipped and a sight. He dropped to his knees in tire, not able to walk any longer. "What happened?" Mothers voice rang with urgency and worry. "They...gasp...they saw me healing the trees." Mother's Gasp "Did they chase after you?" Father said pulling Brother's 6' 2 figure up to his 8'1 body. (As elves we have potential to be very tall.)
Brother only nodded unable to speak. His lean tightly muscled form shining in a glaze of sweat. A moment went by and yelling could be heard from outside. The cottage's windows shattered as a rock was thrown from outside, nailing my older sister instantly killing her. Tears as of liquid salt poured from my eyes as like humans call dams. I ran to her and held her lithe form, my tears falling on her already paling form. My tears glowed falling into her wound on her head healing her wound. It was still too late. Like all elves she began to shine, then burst in a flurry of lights of all colors into my body through my arms. (When elves die our magic and powers flowed into whoever was closest.)
With that...I snapped. I was seeing red. The earth shook with the crack of lightning hitting the ground in a fierce blow taking anyone it could with it. "Snap out of it we must run." Mother and Father urged, Mother brushed the straw from the ground. Revealing a hidden door, pulling a chain, the door popped open.
"Quickly inside." Father yelled, first inside with brother in his arms. Mother helped me in next, as the door was knocked over and men marched in. I pulled her in, a pow was heard as I closed the door with my mind subconsciously. We ran in the tunnel underneath the forest floor and out an old mine shaft. We heard sounds of the men's angry voice and quick movements. The sound of dogs was heard gaining quickly. Focusing on the sky, the wind blew my long snow white hair out of my face. A crack and lightning plummeted the ground destroying the exit saving us a few minor minutes. My eyes glowing of pure light, the fury and rage evident on my face.
We retreated into the forest, looking for another home. Like most elves we we're too foolish to understand that it wasn't over. I walked to my brother as he rested on the floor breathing heavily. A few of my tears appeared again and poured it's glow over my brother. He seemed to be still moments later. Blinking and breathing calmly now, "We're not going to make it out of this are we?" I sent to him telepathically, he looked surprised for a moment then understood. "I don't know...I guess it works for you...always special."he commented, "Being mute is a curse not a blessing." "I don't know, not having to talk to people you don't want to sounds like a blessing to me." He tried to cheer me up.
"Besides look at you; long snow white hair, light flawless creme skin, and the most amazing violet eyes, and redish pink full thick lips." I just blushed out of embarrassment. "I'm nothing special." I sent to him. "No you are." A light blush over his cheeks. A shot was heard and my brother lay dead before me, his blood splattered on my face and body. I backed away from his body hastily his body ignited in light and his powers flowed into me. I got up and tripped on a branch to tumble down a hill. Into a lake, dogs could be heard as I got up and ran.
My parents had to be alive they couldn't have gone far, right? I kept running the sounds of dogs not far behind. I kept running until I couldn't any longer. The dogs getting close. I looked at my surroundings, trees covered in moss and branches and thickets cocooning any way to get out. I hid behind a stump, keeping my back to it. Sniffing I immediately freaked out, commanding the vines and roots to grow and form a coccoon around me. They attacked, clawing into the coccoon. I willed the vines to pick them up and choke them. Not enough to kill them, but enough to make them pass out.
I got up and controlled the vines to wrap around my arms in bracelet forms. Flowers blooming from them in a range of purple to blue. The bracelets shot out vines and grabbed onto the trees, so I could sling and swing through the forest. As I reached my parents they were fighting off men. Father shooting flames from his hands, Mother willing water to attack around her. Mother and Father fighting back to back. I willed the trees to swing their mighty branches at the men, knocking them to the ground. The wind picked up and blew dirt in the men's eyes. I mentally lifted the boulders I could find in the near by area and launched them at the men crushing them.
With the men destroyed we scurried off. "We have murdered." Father said leading us to another place. "We cannot return to our village or the cottage." We understood. "Where will we go?" Mother asked, "A place called Mystic Falls, Virginia. We will have a fresh start and we will continue to grow as the tumble weed finds a new home every gust of wind."
