《An Elven Druid's First Adventure》 Beins 1st Log Hi! Its me Beinreil of the Teinithra Family, also known as "Bein Tein", your friendly neighborhood Elven druid of Westmoss, here to give you an update of my not so exciting everyday life. Currently I am spending my afternoon afloat the sea, overboard beside a ship 30 feet high and over 200 ft long. And to makes matters more interesting, at my right side is a 20 feet white shark and at my left side is his friend, another 20 feet shark but with some black spot on his skin. Oh and yeah, theres a lightning storm on top of my head and huge waves of water are crashing to the side of the ship, making it just a little bit harder for me to swim. A lot of you might be wondering why an Elf with a high sense of solidarity, intellect and awesome personality, who lived his whole 300 years of life in pursuit of knowledge through Books, doing in a situation like this? Short answer, A series of wrong decisions and pure bad luck. Long answer, then I need to bring you all back to this morning. It was a normal morning for me, after 150 years of skimming through thousands of books and research materials I finally found the answer. I am estatic, right fist punching in the air, feet above the ground and jumping for joy. I finally found the answer. And as I look and read the old parchment left to me by my mentor, who by the way is no longer with us, bless his soul, I saw the inevitable answer to my long quest for knowledge. I opened the parchment, taking off the rope binding it and raised it above my head. Closed my eyes at first, and slowly opening them, just to give myself some tension. And There it is! A blank piece of paper! Wait! what? I checked everything, adjusted my thick glasses and looked at it carefully. And it is really blank. there are no ink spots, not even a stain! I mean how hard is it to not stain a 150 year old paper? Thank you so much! So generous, mentor of mine for giving me a Blank piece of paper for the answer? its not like i wasted 150 years searching for it. Bleep you!!! 10 mins of contemplation and I gave up. I put the parchment near the oil lamp and prepared to burn all my sorrows away. and as it was burning halfway through, I watched all the years ive wasted. Till, a quick glance, I saw words written on them. Though it was too late. I used my useless speed to swiftly retake the parchment. But everything was burned. What remained was just a tip of the paper. I gave myself a tap in the forehead and breathe heavily. I read the only distinguising word on it. And a single word can be read. "Eradon". I took all my courage and decided to run to the docks and bought a ticket to the earliest ship to Eradon. I paid a thousand gold for the fare. A thousand gold! this is robbing in broad daylight! and to makes matters worse, its not even a private room. Yes, the room is huge, but 30 people are also staying on it. there are bunk beds near each other giving it just a little bit of way enough to walk beside it. I breathe heavily again, adjusted my glasses and walked outside the room to the ship''s main deck. I stayed there for a while thinking of whats ahead of my life and how to go ahead in this new chapter of my life. After 2 hours of deep contemplation, I decided I should start to be sociable and speak to people for more information. I mean how hard can it be? Ive basically read all books regarding all types of races beasts and plants. Ive practically memorized all Fioras and Faunas in our continent. I am Invinsible in regards to this!! I looked around, and saw just two people. A Long haired guy wearing plates and plates of metal. He is humunguous and so fit. I can even see all those muscles bulging even with all the metal covers. Just to clarify! im not attracted to species of the same sex. Its just those muscles, face and his aura is too piercing, it went straight to the part of my brain saying, "that is what a real man should look like".The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. I took a quick glance of my body and just shook my head left to right and accepted the fact, I am nowhere near this man''s Perfect chiseled body, so I gave up. and looked at the other guy at the other end of the deck. He seems a good guy. He or she or whoever is covered by a black robe. His whole face is covered by his hood. A closer inspection gave me just a glance of his green eyes, giving him this tranquil atmosphere, telling me to "Go mind your own business Or ill Kill you. So I decided to leave the guy or gal alone. I am not planning to end my short lived life in a moment you know. I chose the next best thing its the perfect chiseled male specimen oozing with male pheromones then. I searched my things and reviewed all the books about humans. Im holding 10 of them and reading 2 books at once. Howd i do it? It''s a talent I got for years and years of reading. I memorized everything again, took a deep breath and decided to start this social experiment. As soon as I twisted and readied my body to approach the man created by the Gods to be perfect, "again no homo". I sensed something wrong. I looked up the sky. The clear sky started forming clouds. Nope, not the type of clouds one see, to make cloud animals or portraits of a family happy and smiling. These are the bad type. These are dark clouds with thunder and lightning on them. I thought to myself, we should be safe right? coz this is a huge ship. And the crew must all be professionals and used to these stuff. So I glanced back at the cockpit, smiled and took all my burdens away. Wait! "Pilot sir" where are you going? He just left like that and left the wheel. I mean its not like a huge storm is coming right? Why leave the wheel unattended? Then it happened, thunder roared at the sky and lightning stroke the ship 3 times. Im starting to smell a pungent smell just beneath my crotch. I looked around seriously, and sighed relief seeing noone mightve smell that. At the spot where lightning stroke, three creatures formed of water emerged. One of them even has fishes inside of him. I have a lot of questions. I mean are those their body parts? What is happening around here? Why is it raining so hard? Why did these creature emerged from a lightning? Why is this happening to me in my first day out of my shell? and Why is that man so damn good looking when rain washed his hair? What shampoo is he using? Does he smell good too? Is that cloaked guy at the other side angry or is he happpy? I wondered what he look like. Wait focus! This is becoming serious. Before anyone else move an inch, I run near the edge of the front of the deck. I put both my hands up, and I murmured, "Glance of the sky, Nature''s whisper turned sorrow from pain. I Beseeched thee, grant me control of lightning to seek!" The clouds above me turned from dark to lighter clouds. I can feel the power of lightning from them and i believe i can control the lightnings as I wish. I tried once to call the lightning and aimed at the nearest creature. Boom!!! A lightning 5 feet thick struck the creature and ship''s deck. Smoke and dust filled the place where the creature stood. after a moment the dust and smoke settled and.... It is still standing! I deeply thought to myself, We are all Effed up! as soon as i thought of that, the man with the body of Adonis rushed to it and took out at what i can see a huge sword, as big as me, or might even be bigger, and swung it to the creature. and the creature was split in half and became a pool of water bathing the deck''s floor wet. I thought to myself, those muscles really must be useful! maybe I should start working out more. And he is not done yet. In a split second, he rushed to the other creature at the middle of the deck and swing hard at it. This time the creature was cut in half but rebuilt itself. One of the creature attacked the hooded guy, and as soon as that happened the hooded guy swiftly dodged the attacks. and there I saw his hands! More like paws with claws to me. I thought to myself, "what is it with this guy?" While all these thoughts rushed through my brain. the hooded guy rushed to the creature which the perfect chiseled, strong and aura stricken man attacked, "no homo", and attacked it with a dagger. After which he disappered. Yes my friends, In a span of seconds, the hooded guy rushed, sliced wth a dagger and just disappeared! Im not imagining things, And im pretty sure im fully awake. but he was gone just like that. I cleaned my glasses and checked if what i saw was real and contemplated it for a second before giving up and thinking everything in real life is just unexplainable. And as soon as i reckoned that about life, A huge wave of water from my right side come crashing to the ship. flipping the ship 90 degrees on a side and throwing me overboard. And that my friends is why I am currently being baby sitted by two giant sharks. Thinking of a song from my childhood while all of these transpired. "baby shark doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo." Beins 2nd log Hi! Its me again, Beinreil of the Teinithra Family, also known as "Bein Tein", your friendly neighborhood Elven druid of Westmoss, here to give you an update of my not so exciting everyday life. A lot of you might be wondering, why I am here sweating and dragging a 500 lbs white shark at the tail, traversing the road of a flea market, full of merchants and buyers? I can even hear kids laughing and people talking about my demise. I mean yeah, instead of them helping a 5 foot elf drag something that is 4 times his size, the best thing to do is to scorn the guy and laugh at him. Where did the charity and pittance went to this world? Back to topic, and to further explain the reasoning of the situation I currently am. I need to take you all back to yesterday''s events. I currently am afloat the water, accompanied by two giant sharks while singing the tune of "baby shark" in my head, waiting to be brutally eaten. Then it hit me. Ive read about those water creatures from before. For once my endless book reading, disregarding potty breaks and sometimes food, finally paid off. They are creatures, not from this plane, called Elementals. To further explain all of these, let me first put on my scholar uniform and wise hat. We are currently at the Kingdom of Orion, the year is 845 post arcanum. This kingdom is like a huge continent separated by some great bodies of water to some other continents. A lot of it is still unexplored. Maybe people are just plain lazy to send some expeditions or something. The kingdom is comprised of mixtures of races. You know those talking dogs, birds, cats, and there are even talking fishes. Maybe thousands of years ago everything was in chaos, cause think of it. I mean once something you eat started talking to you wont you be shocked? And wont those "food" learn to fight you for eating them? Of course all of these were in the past now. For some reason, that I currently have no idea and no time to think about, as I am curently sweating my ass of with this shark, everything became peaceful between all of them and people started to learn how to use magic. Yes "magic", not the parlor tricks where you pull a rabbit in the hat, though I did saw one rabbit pull a man in the hat once, funnniest thing ever. Anyways, I am talking about arcane, transmutation, conjuration, divine and a lot more. The types that can call some Huge Fire from the sky and burn everything up just to have a barbecue party. These magics where divided into schools, and some are even divided into sub schools. I myself, my awesome and wonderful self is a master, at least how i like to think of it, of conjuration and transformation, most commonly known in our world as druids. With all of my years of studies and my mentors notes, I strongly believed that our kingdom is not the only plane of existence. I believe that there are more planes of existence in this vast place we are living in. Which bring me to my point of realization, that those creatures are from some other planar world called "Elementals". So I summoned all my God given awesomeness and tried to be like them. I thought hard of their anatomy, biology and all unnecessary informations about them and tried to transform myself to one of them. As i thought, if I became watery in this ocean I might be able to swim faster than these sharks and escape. I focused all my magic power in the bracelet at my left wrist, which is made of wood given to me by mentor, or stolen, who cares that is for another story. And as beads of sweat emerged from my face. I suddenly thought of, how a cool breeze would be great for a hot summer.And after sometime, I pushed my right palm hard to the bracelet on my left wrist and... A breath of time passed and a swirl of water formed in the ocean spot where I once was. It swirled faster and faster, rotating in a speed almost pushing the sharks away. and Boom! A "water elemental" came. Not!! I looked at my hands and body and I am not made of water. Yes I did transformed but I think I am made of wind. I am an "Air Elemental". Man where did it went wrong? How can I swim faster than the sharks now? I am made of Air and im just hovering, floating over the ocean''s surface now. Wait, what?! Im hovering! It surely means I can fly! So I use my non existing talent for mobility and just tried flying straight up. and when I am almost 90 feet above the ocean I looked down, and started feeling nauseus. I hold it in and watched as the Sharks were stunned, realizing their prey was gone. They stayed there waiting for me to come down though.If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. I checked the main deck and searched for the other passengers of the ship. Many of them were injured and some are even unconscious. A quick look, and I realized how bad the situation is. So I mustered all of my courage and think for a solution. While I was thinking all of that, the handsome, perfect bodied, aroma scented guy attacked the water elemental again with his huge broad and shiny weapon. Just one swing and it evaporated through the air. Holding myself to cheer for the guy, again for clarification purposes, "no homo", I spotted him attacking the third water elemental though I thought it wasnt enough, as it is still standing at his spot. I decided to be on this guy''s good side. So, I call a lightning strike again on this water elemental while thinking how good I am and how I will be praised by the perfect guy. I pictured us having a chat about life, drinking tea, and him giving me a back rub just to say how thankful he is for my help. And me gloating over it over and over again. Then it happened, smoke again was cleared from the spot where i called the lightning and the creature, with all nonsense, it is still there standing and alive. I mean how can that perfect anatomical anomaly of a human being eliminate one of them in one swing, while I on the other hand cannot even scratch it? where is the fairness in this plane of existence? As I was lamenting over all of these, the hooded guy suddenly appeared and swiftly brandished his dagger over the creature. which I promise, I saw shining brightly for a second. I also even heard a faint purr afterwards. I was so angry for not being able to do anything with the water elementals that I stared down at one of the sharks that are still waiting for me to come down, as if I would. And I called a lightning again and the lightning crashed hard to it and killed it in one swoop. I saw his friend run for his life, but i just let him go. The clouds slowly phased away, and the sky started to slowly be clear. As a loud clap echoed through all the main deck. clap, clap, clap. I looked at the source of the claps and saw the "pilot" before at the steering wheel clapping. "Well done!! Congratulations, you three, passed the first admission test for the Academy of Eradon". He called some people and told them to help all the injured. I was thinking, Test? all of those were just tests? I love tests and exams! I went down near him and asked him enthusiastically what is my grade for the test. He confusingly looked at me and slowly lifted 8 of his fingers. Before he said anything, I already shouted, "Yey! I got an 80!!". I flew down the ocean first to fetch the dead shark floating at the water. Using my current form to lift it up and slammed it over the main deck. And transforming back to my original form of a good looking elf, at least thats what i think. As if ignoring me, The pilot continued speaking, "I am Bret Veverell and this is my ship "The Lady Vengeance". While slowly walking towards the middle of the main deck, he continued. "I am the examiner for the first admission test and only you three have passed the test and are allowed to continue for the next phase". "May I know the names of these new fellows?". As if a reflex came over me, I shouted from the top of my Lungs. "I am Beinreil of the Teinithra family from Westmoss at your duty Sir Bret Sir!!!" Ignoring what I said Bret looked at the guy with the washboard abs and huge pectoral muscles, and asked "How about you sir?". I bent my neck anticipating and listening hard to his reply. He concisely said, "I am Aldehier." Thats it?? I mean I have a lot of questions, I swiftly run to his side and curiously touched his arms and some of his muscles. Again, for the record, "No Homo". I asked him "Where did you came from?". The perfect bodied guy just shrugged me off and went to the other side. Bret went to the hooded guy, and also asked about his name. The hooded guy replied, "I am Shuri." I pretty am sure this time I heard a purr! I tried to say Hi to the guy. But like Aldehier, he suddenly went away from me. I am starting to think that my social experiment and plan to be the most popular person in the world will definitely go down the drain at this rate. So I turned to the only person left near my vicinity. Bret started talking and explained to everyone that the first phase of the entrance tests are done for today and everyone can take a rest at the bunk beds. And By tomorrow, we will arrive at Eradon''s port, by which the next phase will begin. Lastly, he asked everyone, "Any questions?". Raising My right hand up the air while waving it enthusiastically, As if wishing he would recognize the effort I put in doing so, I shouted on top of my lungs. "Me! Me! Me!" Bret nodded and I continued my inquiry. "Do you want to buy a giant sharK? Im pretty sure its very fresh." I even explained the nutritional benefits of the shark to him. Feeling annoyed Bret just said no and before he leave, he told me some merchants at the port market might be willing to buy the shark. He didnt even gave me a chance to ask another question. I turned around and saw everyone already left me alone. Feeling tired of all the commotion, I went to my bed and rest for the night. I was awakened by the horn of the ship, signaling our arrival at the port. It was a busy port, filled with merchants and buyers. I was shocked at the size and businesses at the port that, I didnt even noticed everyone already left me alone. I searched the port for someone who wants to buy a giant shark. I found a huge guy who looked like a boar and is around 7 feet tall. I believe they where callled Orcs. I slowly asked the guy, "Dooooo Yooouuuuu Buuuuyyyyy a giaaaaannnttt shaaaaarrkk?" in fear of him not understanding my language. I spoke to him slowly. The orc looks annoyed and replied, "Yeeeeeessssss". I felt so intimidated and scared with his expression that I told him I have one, though it is still on the boat. He turned his back to me and told me to just bring the shark to him. And that my friends, is the reason why I am here sweating my underarms off like a leaked faucet, dragging this giant shark while everyone is either mocking me or laughing at me. Beins 3rd log Hi! Its me again, Beinreil of the Teinithra Family, also known as "Bein Tein", your friendly neighborhood Elven druid of Westmoss, here to give you an update of my not so exciting everyday life. Remember when you were a kid, and you started to be fascinated with a lot of things? You aspired to be a lot of things. Some wanna be a doctor, healing people, or a dragon rider, traversing the skies, or even a knight in shining armor beating all odds to save a princess. Some even wants to be that princess who wanted to be saved. I also had that dream. Once when I was just a little pointed eared elf, I always wished I was a great astronomer who traversed the stars and moons up in the sky. I was always fascinated on what were those sparkling things at the skies at night. Why am I saying all of these now? Well, for one, I am currently lying at my back facing the sky, and seeing three stars and two moons circling above my head. Oh, and there is this deer staring straight at me, as if telling me, "What are you doing?". How did all of these happened? How can an elf born with immense knowledge publicly shamed by a deer in a swampy forest? Then, lets all go back to the events that transpired before all of these. After I sold the giant shark at the market. I went to the meeting place Bret told us to go after doing our business. In there, I saw some "Magisters" discussing something amongst themselves. Half an hour passed and they called my name, along with Shuri and Aldehier. Making us draw a name from a bowl. Afterwards, they told us that we will form a group for the next phase of the test and a guy named "Clint". I curiously asked them, "Sir! with all due respect, where can we find this Clint?". A white bearded "Magister" replied, "You can find him at the tavern near the dock.". I have a lot more questions. In my mind, I thought what a great oppurtunity this is to be close to people. I mean, It is a group test. Hell I could even be the great responsible and awesome leader of the best team there is. I gathered all my thoughts. I prepared myself to address every questions I might garner. I breathe heavily, and turned around to my team. But before I could continue to speak, everyone were gone. My team even left me all alone. I did not even know how long I was standing there contemplating by myself. I moved on and just convinced myself, that everyone must be in a hurry. As they wont just leave someone that oozes with personality alone. I went straight to the tavern. And there I saw Shuri and Aldehier sitting at a table alongside a dwarf. Looking closely at the guy, Im seeing an intimidating person. He is about 4 feet tall and muscular built. His skin is so pale it is almost as white as snow. His whole face is covered with red tattoos. How painful is it to tattoo your whole face? I dont even want to think about putting one even in my finger. But this guy just put a whole lot in his face. And to top of it all of, he has a weird hairstyle. It was kinda braided and tied in a wierd manner that put emphasis on his tattoed face. I courageously walked to them, sat beside the guy, and shouted. "Sir Clint Sir! Beinreil of the Teinithra family reporting for duty Sir Clint Sir!". Almost everyone in the tavern stopped there drinking and stared at me. Maybe they are all fascinated at how awesome and respectable person I am, so I proudly lifted my head high and seriously waited for our guides reply. I think about a whole minute passed and im still standing there waiting for a reply. I looked at our table and saw them just drinking alcoholic beverages and not even looking at me. I conceded all my shame and just sat down. Still looking at Clint I curiously asked. "Sir Clint, May I kindly ask when will the next phase of the test start, and all the details?" He just lifted his mug of Ale, A kind of alcoholic wine commonly drank by people, and showed it to me as if signaling, just to let him finish it. While waiting patiently for him to finish, I curiously stared at Shuri beside me. This guy is the silent type. And as I look closely at his face. I found out that he is a cat person. He is basically a furry white cat with eyes as green as an emerald. His stare will give you a sense of melancholy and depth. His ears is the cutest thing ever! It makes me want to go near him and pet him, though I did hold myself back as I am pretty sure he will gut me on the spot if I did pet him. After sometime Clint finished his drink and got up from his seat. He signaled the three of us to follow him. As we go out the tavern I heard some of the "Magisters" laughing and talking amongst themselves. I even heard someone shout. "Clint let them live longer this time alright?". I did not mind other people''s taunts as I am already left by our group. I followed them at the gate of the fort that leads outside through the forest.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Clint signaled at the guards to open the gate, and the Huge fort gates, 30 feet tall, opened in an intimidating manner signaling a new obstacle of my life ahead. We went outside the gate and walked ahead 30 feet before stopping. Clint stretched his arms and legs while saying, "Mahn!! Finally Im outta hell hole again.". "Feels so gooood"! He has this strange accent in him as if he is rhyming every words in his sentences. Dont get me wrong, I admire this guy for his taste of words. I asked Clint for the details of the test and he explained to us that for this phase of the test, we need to go to Eradon Academy in 2 days. The Big muscled sculpture faced Aldehier asked how can we get there. To which Clint just replied. "Mahn!! just follow me onwards ayt.", then he just disappered on his spot and in a split second reappeared 40 feet ahead of us. The three of us were caught flat footed and stunned of the sudden disappearance of the dwarf before us, that we stood there for 6 seconds before doing anything. Shuri was the first to react, He dropped on all fours. revealing His furry white tail and paws. As if wind wants to make it all dramatic, his hood was blown back and revealed his feline head to us. How wonderful would it be to get on this guys back and ride him to the sunset of a new beginning, with me as the main piece of the best duo of Eradon. Cementing our names as the best knight and mount of our generation. It would be such a masterpiece of a story as I will lead my feline mount under the moon''s trail, riding through a bloodied battle of epic proportions. As I was day dreaming all of these, Shuri rushed and tried to close the gap with our guide ahead of us. Leaving dusts all around my face. I even swallowed some of it and coughed some. Aldehier was the second to react. He flexed his perfectly proportioned diamond sparkling legs and made it into a squat position, and swayed his muscular arms back. He positioned himself in away that seems he will be ready to relieve himself right there on the spot, which I doubt he will do. I can even see some of his veins bulge from the side of his angular and masculine face. And without any prior warning, he launched himself up and forward, jumping to the skies, covering 30 feet of pure gracefulness and adept. He did it in a way that will leave everyone who is not even a die hard fan of his perfect body in awe of that moment. The ground shook hard and dust again was left in the spot where he lift off. And for the second time in the span of two moments, I again swallowed more dusts. Come on people! Do i look like I eat dust for breakfast? It does not even taste that good. In addition, a little warning might suffice the next time. I saw them getting farther away. So I thought hard and positioned myself to also run. I did not have the athleticism displayed by all of them, but I do have my wonderful thinking capacity to use. So I gathered all the informations I saw before me and thought hard on who is the best to mimic. I weighed my options. A dwarf who can disappear and reappear in a split second. A cat, who is basically the cutest and furriest person I have ever seen. Oh how I love to touch and pet those white fluffy back of his. Or, I can be, basically a perfect piece of human and God interaction that resulted to, a being blessed by the grace of unimaginably great and bulky limbs. The answer is simple, I just cant be anywhere near all of them. So I just run with all my heart, in hopes of even making up some of the gap I just painstakingly lost because of a stupid daydream in a middle of a decision making. I was running so hard that I kinda close some of the gap between me and the group ahead of me. My tongue is already out, as some of my saliva are already washing the forest grass. I heard some noises ahead of us. I saw clearly from afar that a stampede of deers are crossing our path perpendicular to our position. Dont get me wrong. These are not normal deers. They are large deers. At least if you compared them to my size. They are 7 feet long and stands around 6 feet tall. Not including the horns on their heads, which is around 2 feet long. I tried to warn our group of the impending danger ahead of them. Simultaneously thinking, "This is my chance to prove to everyone that I have leadership qualities." They will think much highly of me and regard me as their best ally ever!! I am so excited that I forgot our predicament. And in a split second, the stampede is already in front of us. I still tried my best to warn them. But even before I open my mouth, I saw Shuri sliding perfectly under the belly of one of the deer, right between the deer''s legs. Bending his back and knees, and putting the back of his head close to the ground, while passing cleanly underneath the deer. I was so amazed I can clearly score that 90 out of 100. and I was grinning with joy for the guy, And at the same time, I was amazed with his perfect body coordination and flexibility. I then focused my attention to Aldehier and also tried to warn the guy. And before I can even do anything. He put his right shoulder down slightly and charged to the deer in front of him pinning not one, but two deers together, and tossing both of them into the air. He basically cleared his path of two deers and rushed ahead. I was amazed at Aldehier''s performance, that i even resisted my instinct to cheer for the guy. I covered my mouth to shout for praises. Then I thought, "I can also do that". Yeah, I cant do what Shuri did, as i have no coordination nor balance and flexibility in my body to bend myself like a bow as he did. But, ramming a deer. I think I have a chance to replicate such actions, given that I choose a deer that is basically tiny and easy to push. I can even shock my teammates of my abilities. I pushed my glasses inwards my eyes and observed the stampede ahead of me. I looked for the smallest deer in the group. I found one, and it is basically just a fawn, a baby deer. I postioned myself to ram into the trajectory of the so called fawn. I readied my arms and shoulders, flexing them and bulking them as much as possible. I calculated the speed distance and wind conditions. Then with all of my leg strength, I launched myself to the fawn. 5 feet more and I will be on striking distance. 4 feet and the fawn''s inevitable demise is at close. 3 feet and I can already taste the sweet praises over my ears for my job well done. 2 feet and I can see the fawn move a little on his side. And 1 feet as I saw the largest deer in their herd. It is basically the alpha deer. And to make matters worse, I think I was targetting his daughter. It stared straight into my eyes, as I have no chance of stopping my tracks. Boom!! My momentum crashed me to this large deer in front of me. paralyzing half of my body in half a second and slamming me straight back to the ground. Everything flashed back as my head got dizzy and I stare straight at the sky seeing stars and moons on morning like this. And I clearly saw the alpha deer smirked at me before pushing some dust into my face and leave. I wanted to ask for some help from my group. But, I believe they are already long ahead of me. Leaving me behind, literally eating more and more dusts in the wind. Beins 4th log Hi! Its me again, Beinreil of the Teinithra Family, also known as "Bein Tein", your friendly neighborhood Elven druid of Westmoss, here to give you an update of my not so exciting everyday life. I am currently staring at one of the dirtiest thing I ever saw in my whole 340 years in this world. You dont believe me? hmmm... Let me briefly describe at what I am looking at. A 4 feet albino dwarf is lying on his back, while a white furry cat is hugging his legs, And a huge muscular good looking human has his legs spread out while his crotch is planted straight in to the face of the dwarf. To top all of this off, they are all covered by wet mud. That is not dirty enough you say? Well try being on the aerial view of it all. As if you are looking it from a birds eye view and listening to the endless moans of the dwarf. That my friends will be one of the dirtiest scene you will ever see. It has a dwarf, a muscular handsome guy, an animal and all of these are being done in a mud pool. Why the hell am I looking at this scene? Then let me just rewind you all a bit on the earlier events. There I was lying at my back at the forest grounds while staring at the sky. Thinking where did I went wrong and Is it my fault to be that incompetent to be stomped over by a deer. Then it hit me, why am I trying my hardest to be others? Why am I always looking for validation for everything I do? Why are there deer''s hairs on my mouth? And why am I not using my biggest assets? I wiped off all of the deer''s hairs on my mouth and stood up, while wiping all the dusts on my white scholar''s robe. I then reminded myself. They all called me "Bein Tein" because of my ability to study 10 books at once. I pride myself with all the wisdom with all of I read. My brain is my 2nd biggest asset in life. And my proficiency in controlling magic in this world is second to none in this world, At least that is what I believe in. So I racked my brains up and stood motionless on the spot. Contemplating on everything that happened and the options I can take to be the front runner of this group. And to not further embarass myself in the process of my own redemption. I closed my eyes and thought hard. All the noises around me was gone for a moment, and everything seems to be tranquil. And there it goes! As if a light bulb struck my head. Or to be more precise a bird just pooped at the sky and it went straight to my head. It must have thought I was some kinda motionless branch there for a moment. An epiphany came over me. I Bein Tein, an Elven Druid of the highest quality, am capable of transforming myself to any creature I want as long as I know its anatomy and structure. Why not just become a creature capable of following the group? Or better yet, why not be the person to carry everyone to the goal and pick up our prize? My heart beats faster and my hands started to get sweaty. I am getting so excited over myself. I feel superior even to our guide who is ahead of us. Im feeling that I can overcome even the black dragon''s rage. Speaking of a dragon, why not just be a gigantic dragon? bwahahahahaha.. I will shock everyone with my power! Are you shocked to hear about dragons? In our world dragons did exist, or thats what I would like to believe in. Yes I have never saw one. I just read everything about them in the books that I collected. And yes the credibilities of those books are quite questionable. As who can say, I saw a fierce dragon, the size of a mountain, and lived to tell the story about it? Fine! I admit that everything I have read were just myths or pieces of legendary stories! Moving on, to understand more about dragons, I should explain to you where they all came from. Based on all the research I have done, the most popular story of them all is about the Neocreational story of the world we live. Our world has two moons, One is A big moon called Elyn, and another called Zenith the ringed broken moon. These two moons are believed to be Gods by our predecessors. Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. Elyn is the goddess of Illusion, while Zenith is the goddess of magic. I myself am connected well with Zenith as I draw most of my magic from her. or specifically from her moon. The legends said, that ages before everyone came to being, the gods had a huge war amongst themselves. Elyn took a piece of zenith and threw those pieces to our world to fight other gods. That is mainly why Zenith''s moon is broken. And all of those pieces are believed to be the first dragon''s eggs. So basically those are how dragons are birthed. At least based on the legends and myths. Back on the topic at hand. everything I have learned about dragons may or may not be true, for the reason stated above. But still try and try until I will cry. So I prepared myself to start my transformation. I concentrated hard and stared at Zenith''s moon for a time being. Drawing most of her moonlight''s magic into my own. Increasing my magic power tenfold in the process. I can feel all of the power surging into my veins. transforming and letting everything into being. I focused all of these powers into my bracelet and think hard of the knowledge I have about dragons. I pressed hard on the bracelet on my left wrist with my right hand and focused hard on everything, sealing off all distractions to perfect my transformation. I raised both of my hands over my head and accepted more of the magic of the moon. Bathing under the moonlight''s serenity of Zeniths''s grace and power, I conceded to her. As all of these are happening, in my head I am thinking of the best background music ever for these awesome once in a lifetime transformation. Then I recalled the music played when I was in a play in my kindergarten days, I believe it was called *"Sailor moon''s song." As this music is being played in my head while my transformation is underway, I intentionally wiped the bird''s poo in my head. I thought it would be gross to have that poo while im doing the best transformation ever in our world. This is the first time anyone did this. This will always be my bragging rights. I can even tell my kids, "Did you know that one time papa became a dragon?". Man how wonderful will I be. I will eternally recorded in the anals of history. speaking of anals, this poop really stinks so bad. What did that bird ate? I cant just wiped this smell off. In a moment''s time, I floated in the air circling in place with the moonlight as my spotlight and the song on my head. I can feel my hands growing into wings and my feet becoming claws. I am becoming a dragon! I am getting larger and larger by the second. Then smoke and dust cover the place I was once where. then I flew high in the sky. YES!! finally I am a dragon! I am a white dragon, master of the skies! ruler of the universe. Most awesome and perfect being on the continent! And I Tried to the roar of the dragon.... "Kaaaaahhhhh!!!! Kaaaaaaahhhh!!" Wait what??? That did not sound like a dragon''s roar. I checked my hands and I saw white feathered wings. I checked my feet and I saw white feathered claws. so what is wrong? Wait! feathers??? I Checked myself again and it seems like instead of turning into a white dragon. I am a White Bird! I am just a huge bird flying in the sky? Why do I always fail? Oh come on!! I even double checked and took my time. This time I even focused hard on the subject. How can I catch up and brag to my group now? Its not as if I am ably to fly to them. Wait! I can fly! I flew fast to where everyone went, as if I am born to be a bird my whole life. I rushed to them with the fastest flight plan available. With my almost 20 feet wingspan I glided to Aldehier and Shuri''s area. After traversing 200 feet of forest, I reached the part of the swampy forest. on the ground I saw Aldehier and Shuri still chasing Clint 100 meters ahead of them. I tried to shout at them and telling them to hop on my back so I can carry them faster to our guide. Though, all of these became in vain as the only words that came out of my mouth was, "Kaaaaahhhh kaaaahhhhh!!!". I almost wanna slap my face with my palm, rejecting the idea as I know i will fall head first in the ground if I did. So I thought of every possible solution to communicate to them, I hovered above their heads and flapped my wings to signal something to them. I am wishing they would understand what I am saying. A lot of moments passed As I continue to pester my two teammates with no idea what I am trying to do, until a beacon of hope appeared before me. Aldehier seemed to noticed me and noticed what I am doing. He raise his hands up in his head and I grabbed his hand lifting him up. Luckily Shuri saw me carrying Aldehier by the hand, so he also lifted his paws up which i unreluctantly grabbed too. I carried both of them with all my might, grinning with happiness. For the first time in my whole life, I am working well with my group mates. I can already see the fireworks display and the sounds of praises I will get from all of my efforts. As we are getting closer and closer to our guide. I started to daydream about everything that might happened after all of these. This is undoubtedly the best scene of my whole life. I, Bein Tein, am carrying my whole team in this game. I will be the one who will make us win in this game called life! I will teach Aldehier''s kids about everything, about my travels with them, And Shuri will be at the side sitting playing with his yarn, that I gave to him for his last birthday, caressing it with so much iimportance. Then I decided to throw both of them forward to Clint, and all of my dreams crushed at that moment. Shuri came down first and crashed to our guide''s legs, and Aldehier came crashing down with his legs spread out to Clint''s face. creating this unforgettable scene of my life. Oh and I am above recording all of these in my head. This is worse than one of the pictures in my hidden collection of books titled "play rabbits".
