《Reborn into Starwars! Summoned into Fantasy》 Prologue: My Lives so Far! My name use to be Marcus Moon and I was an orphan. I was a normal 19 year old student on earth, that is until I was kidnapped by terrorists while I was on holiday. Myself and 5 others, three other guys and two girls. I was the oldest by two years, we were taken to god knows where, we were beaten used on many of their videos so they could show their power! We were kept for 7 months together moving from place to place. A few times a few men tried to rape the girls but I stopped them by getting them to beat me until it was out of their system. After seven months we were taken to where one of their leaders were, by this time I had resigned myself to my fate but I was determined to get the others to safety! After asking over 100 times I finally met with the leader, weirdly he was the most extreme of them but also the easiest to talk to! After many hours of talking, negotiating and me being hit, I secured the others freedom. The price was my life, to be taken anyway they want on one of their videos. Part of it was that I had to see them on live tv safe with their families. A few days after that the others are taken away. One week later I am taken from my cell and sat in front of a tv with the news on, I can clearly see all of them uniting with their families, but also crying as they find out I sacrificed my life for theirs. After that I am taken to were they film their videos, I am strapped to a chair and then they do a little speech. I am tortured first, but resolving myself I remain as quiet as I can, after three hours they get bored and the last thing I see is a machete swinging towards my neck, and all I can do is smile! There is a sharp pain and then Nothing. When I came too I could not open my eyes and I felt as if I was floating in a liquid, and all I could hear was a beating of some kind. I floated about falling in and out of consciousness for who knows how long, then I felt a pressure all around me. I won''t describe what happen next as it is something I don''t want to remember, but I was born again! Funnily enough both of them spoke English. From them I found out my new name, Ullr Acron. All my parents talked about was getting to a place that didn''t have a name and avoiding the Order whoever they were. It took me a week to figure out we were in a house of some sort but little did I know how wrong I was. My parents were both very attractive. Adia my mother was a beauty with long golden hair, perfect everything and her tits were just the right size not to big not to small. I knew this as she fed me regularly. She also had slightly pointed ears, bright blue eyes and was quite tall. Lokend my farther was just taller than my mother and had light brown haired, with a short styled beard. He was slim but muscular with broad shoulders, again he had slightly pointed but he had emerald eyes. After a month I realised that we were in a space ship after my mother took me to the cockpit, I knew that the technology was more advanced than earths as there were a few robots and holoscreens. From the conversations I had heard I found out my parents were sown thing called Rouges and they were wanted my the Order as they did not follow their rules. For the next year I learned all I could and retaught myself to walk and talk, it is a lot harder than you think when your body is a baby''s. It turns out that I am in a universe very similar to Star Wars, the Order are the Jedi, force users but they have no official name and are just known as the order. Rogues are like Grey Jedi, the learn all aspects of the force both light and dark, and then there is the Dark ones, again no official name but they are essentially Sith. Once I stated talking my parents stared teaching me about the force and training me. They showed me their weapons which were lightsabers but known as LightSwords both theirs were yellow. We stopped off at space ports every now and then but I was never aloud to leave the ship and whenever one of them left they wore clocks. Over the next 2 years our routine continued like this. My mastery of the force progressed very quickly, I have mastered many techniques including force lightning but I was told never to use it unless in dire situations. On my third birthday my training to use the LightSwords started. I did not use them yet just a wooden version. We continued for another few months, we then made port and unusually both my parents left letting me to behave on my own and that they would be back in a few hours! 5 hours passed and they hadn''t come back yet. I then hear the hatch open but hear strange voices. I peak round the corner and see a Alien man in robes and a young human teenage boy, they were defiantly members of the order as I see their symbol on their robes. They are talking about how they have taken care of the rouges. That is when my heart dropped as I realise my parents are at best captured and at worst they are dead! I then see both of my parents LightSwords hanging at the teenagers waist. "Master may I keep these LightSwords as a trophy for my first rouge hunt?" As the teenager asks this rage flows through me! I jump out from behind the corner and force push him into the wall at the same time I pull both of my parents LightSwords into my hand and then back off and glare at the Alien man! Instead of hair he has horns around his head and blue skin, his eyes are white and a bit bigger than humans! "A child, and powerful at that!" He seems unconcerned that I just attacked his Apprentice. The boy gets up cross! "Ouch!! YOU FUCKING BRAT YOU SHALL PAY FOR THAT!" Before he could make his way to me his master placed his hand on his shoulder and shock his head! The boy looked furious but didn''t dare disobey his master! "Hand them over boy that are dangerous and not yours!" Ha he is trying to look nice so I will trust him but I can see he is very dangerous, so is his apprentice, lucky I caught him off guard! "They are not your either!! They belong to my parents, and as you stole them from them, I am taking them back for them!" After saying this I glare at him! He has a surprised look on his face at my intelligence, after a few seconds it changes to one of annoyance! "You parents were criminals! Force users who did terrible things, but if you insist you can keep them but you have to come with us!" I realise that I don''t really have much choice. I slowly nod and walk towards him tightly holding the LightSwords. After that I am taken to see a council, they allow me to keep the LightSwords and then send me away to the Orders home planet to train! I keep training for the next 13 years, I make sure to be a problem child, nothing serious enough for them to kick me out but enough for no master to want me as an apprentice. That is until one of the new council members takes a shine to me, so at the age of 11 I become her apprentice. My new maters name is Kara Moor, she is a very beautiful lady with pink hair an hourglass body and brown eyes. From what I have heard she is only 21 and the youngest ever to make it onto the council. She also appears to be the only other human who has pointed ears like me. I try to make her give me up but she doesn''t care about me being a problem child, all the while she is trying to brainwash me to become a zealot of the Order! I also think she is a pervert as she regularly hugs me and is always smiling at me! She trains me for another five years before I am taken off world on my first mission. I have not left the planet since I first arrived, but I have been preparing for when I do. Part of my wrong doings at the Orders temple was that I have been collecting money from generous donors. I got caught a few times but I still have a sizeable sum stashed away, and now as soon as her back is turned I am gone! From what she has told me we are hunting a bounty hunter who killed a member of the Order. We arrive on the star-station where he is believed to be. For the next week we look for him but Kara always keeps me by her side. Eventually we get wind of where he is and ambush him. "Ullr when he arrives, leave the majority of the fighting to me, but if you see an opening don''t hesitate!" I won''t be fighting anyway as I have decided to leave soon after the fight starts using one of the techniques taught to me by me parents that is forbidden in the Order, Presence Thin, basically I make my presence so thin while that I become invisible! "Yes, Kara." I say very unenthusiastically. She starts to pout at this as I have never called her Master, much to her annoyance! This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. "It''s Master Ullr!!" She said trying to sound cute! "No it is not! And it never will be!" As I say this I see a vein pop in her head. "When we have finished here we are going to have words, and expect punishment!!" It is not like I am scared as I won''t be there! "Sure whatever!" This make her even more mad but before she could say anything else. "He is here....... With some friends!" Our ''target'' has just entered the hanger with 3 others who also look like bounty hunters. "Stick to the plan I will take one out by surprise and you another that will even the odds" even though I am sure Kara could defeat all of them, she is still cautious. But this is good for me as they will hold her up for longer so I have more time to get away! "Ready...........Now" she shoots out and pierces her green LightSword through one of the men''s backs. As she does this I activate the technique and disappear! "ULLR!!! ULLR!!! WHERE ARE YOU!? I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!" I hear her shouting as I leave the hanger and head for the space port, I have all my belongings with me including my parents LightSwords which I am not aloud to wield as a yellow LightSword represents a Rouge. I left my blue LightSword by the entrance to the hanger so Kara knows I left! After that I get a ship to another space port and then to another and then to another. I still have a very large sum left over but I need to start earning! My solution gambling! I place all my money on a ridiculous odd and then use the force to manipulate the outcome! With that I buy myself a ship and robot to fly it, I then take up the role as a bounty hunter. For the next few months it was slow but quickly I became very successful as I never missed a target. The only problem was I only accepted a job it the target was an adult, I never hunter children. Due to my success I was given the nickname, Hunter and for the next four and a half years I enjoyed my time travelling around the Galaxy. Little did I know, I was also being hunted by my old master, Kara. I have just completed a job, to kill a famous space pirate for one of the big galactic corporations, when I feel another presence close by. There shouldn''t be anybody on this planet as I have already taken care of the entire crew and the captain. I take out my pistol and point it towards the bushes behind me. "Come out!!" I am shocked at who appears, it is Kara. Luckily I am wearing full body armour who she can''t see my face! (His armour looks something like this! https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/82/30/41/8230415cccf4ebc1871e95e42259206b.jpg) I keep me gun trained on her, as I don''t trust her! I still have my parents LightSwords, which are hidden in my armour at the moment. I still train with them every opportunity I get just incase I run into a member of the Order. I see she has two LightSwords as well but then I realise that one of them is my old one I left behind! "What does a member of the Order want with me!?" As I get a closer look at her, it looks as if she has not aged a day, from what I remember she must be approaching 30 now but still looks like an 18 year old. "After all these years is that a way to greet your master?" Crap she knows who I am! "I don''t know what you are talking about lady!" "Oh come on Ullr you can stop acting, I know it is you, I have been watching you for a while, and I can see your style of fighting even if it is with a pistol!" "...." I remain silent as I see her smile. "You have grown taller that when I last saw you! Come on take of that helmet let me see your face!" It is true I am taller than I was then, I am now 6ft3 with dirty blonde hair and one blue and one green eye. ''Sigh'' keeping my gun on her I reach up with my left hand and remove my helmet! "''Gasp'' oh my, Ullr you have become handsome! But please stop scowling and can you stop waving that gun in my face!!" "No." At this she turns serious. "Ullr that is enough, you have had your fun it is time to come back to the Order, don''t worry your punishment will only be light!" "I am not going back to the people who killed my parents! And you can''t make me go either!" I nearly shouted that last part but j manage to keep my cool. "They were Rouges, criminals, and the resisted, but you are not like them I can see from your history as the bounty hunter known as ''The Hunter'' you have only used pistols and rifles. Also from your aura I can tell that you have not practiced force techniques for a long time!" The reason that me aura is so weak and seems as if I have not trained in a long time is because I am suppressing it. ''It looks like I can only get out of this if I fight her'' I lower my gun and drop it. Kara smiles and takes a step forward but stopes at my next action. I start to take off my armour and put it in a neat pile next to me. Now I am only wearing my boots and trousers, I reach into my pouch and take out at shirt and put it on. Kara has a bit of red in her cheeks but has not changed her expression! "Good I see you are leaving that behind, right come on let''s go." At this she turns around and starts to leave thinking I will follow! I bend down and press a button on my gauntlets, the secret compartment on each opens up to reveal my parents LightSwords. I pick them up and draw them! ''Buzzz'' ''Buzzz'' At the sound of my LightSwords turning on Kara stops and looks at me. "Ullr what are you doing, no put whose away before you hurt yourself, you have not used one in years!" "My name is Ullr Acron, I am a Rouge, and I will not come with you to my death!" As I say this I stop suppressing my aura and force it all to fly at Kara. "U-Ullr!! How is your aura so strong? No stop it you are not a rouge. Please just come with me!!!" Kara is almost in tears, I don''t know why but I take my fighting stance. "I will not go back, I would rather die!!" At this Kara has a look of shock on her face! "Please Ullr!! We need ea..." "ENOUGH!!" I charge at her and swing m blades down towards her head. She draws her LightSword and blocks just in time! We start to trade strikes with each other, then we separate! "WHAT DID I DO TO YOU FOR YOU TO HATE ME THIS MUCH!!!" Kara is shouting at me know with tears streaming down her face. Is it really that hard for her! "I NEVER HATED YOU! YOU WERE ONE OF THE ONLY PEOPLE I FOUND OK!! IT IS THE ORDER I HATE FOR KILLING MY PARENTS FOR NOT FOLLOWING THEIR BELIEFS!!" At this Kara drops her defence slightly, and I use this opportunity to force push her away! She recovers quickly and now has a determined look on her face and has stopped crying. She charges me and we carry on our battle. We fight at a stalemate for the next 17 hours, we don''t speak at all during this time, and rely on our connection to the force to give us the energy to carry on. As we are passing the 17th hour mark I feel a massive disturbance in the force below my feet, this distracts me long enough for Kara to send her LightSword through the right side of my stomach, it was not a lethal blow but I can not fight anymore, as a fall down in agony I feel the disturbance grow stronger! Kara approaches me with tears in her eyes. Why does she care for me so much! She stands a distance away with her weapon still at the ready! "You have lost Ullr!" She said this so quietly that I almost didn''t hear it. "I only lost because the disturbance below us distracted me!!" As I say this she looks confused, she tries to approach me but I push her back with me aura, not many can do this but it is my only defence right now! "Ullr I...." Before she can finish a bright light shines from the ground all around me, as my eyes adjust I realise that it looks like one of those magic circles that appeared in anime, manga''s and light novels back on earth! I look up and see Kara running towards me, but my consciousness is fading. "ULLR!! NOOOOOO...." Just as my consciousness is leaving me I see Kara enter the circle screaming me name! ====== I hope you enjoyed this prologue, I hope to release at least one chapter a week, if not more. Please tell me what you think of the story idea and any comments would be welcome! Peace Chapter 1: The Summoned Ok first of all wow, I did not expect over 1000 views in 24 hours!! Thanks a lot for all your comments as well. I hope you enjoy this chapter as well! ====== (Kara POV) My name is Kara Moor, I am a member of the order and I am also the youngest person ever to join the council at the age of 21. I am also a member of an almost extinct race, unfortunately I don''t know the name of this race but we mainly look like humans, the main difference being our slightly pointed ears and strong connection to the force. I am just finishing my first official meeting with the council, when I suddenly sense something falling towards the centre of the room. ''Splat'' Animal dung falls in the centre of the table splashing everywhere. ''Hahaha'' I suddenly hear someone laughing but they are already gone before I can get at them. "What was that!!" I demand to the council! "''Sigh'' that was our resident problem child Ullr. He is a genius at using the force and in LightSword techniques but he is always causing problems" (council member 1) "This is quite mild for him though. One time he got hold of sleeping gas from some troopers that stopped off here, he then proceeded to put everyone to sleep. He then drew on everyone''s faces, and then all the masters had there cloths stolen including their spare ones." (Council member 2) "Why don''t you punish him??" "We have but, he either doesn''t show up, or completes his punishment exceptionally quickly and then targets the person who punished him for his next prank." (Council member 1) "Why don''t you just kick him out of the Order then?" "We can''t!! He is exceptionally strong in the force, if our enemy''s got hold of him, he could be a huge threat!" (CM 2) (Authors note: CM stands for council member!) This brat sounds like he needs a beating! I definitely want to meet in him!! Haha "What will his punishment be for this then?" I point to the extremely smelling dung on the table. "He won''t be unless you want to punish him?" (CM 3) "Ok I will punish him!! He will regret what he did today!" "That is fine with us but I would watch yourself he has an uncanny ability to sneak up on people and disappear extremely quickly!" (CM 1) After that I leave the council room and head to my office. Along the way I get several people to bring Ullr to my office. I have a bit of paperwork to do so I start it while I wait. ****** It has now been four hours since I asked Ullr to be brought to my office. I have hear multiple announcements over the holo channels but still nothing. "Bloody brat" I get up and decide to join the hunt! When I leave my office I see one of the people I asked to look for him jogging towards me, he is soaking wet and looks like he has been through hell and back. "Master Kara, I am sorry but he is proving difficult to catch, we have got the entire security staff trying to catch him, but most are in a similar if not worse state than me!" He looks down ashamed. I realise that his cloths are covered in rips and he smells a bit like dung. "Where is he now?" "Erm he was last seen heading into the forest, last time he entered he wasn''t seen for 3 weeks." ''Sight'' "Ok I will help look for him, but I want you to prepare a room that can''t be escaped from, so we can put him in there when we catch him!" "Yes!" I am now heading out into the forest, I expand my senses as far as I can. There is nothing really dangerous in the forest but is is very large. After an hour of searching I finally find him. He is by a stream and appears to be fishing! But he is over 20 miles away from the temple. And looks to have been there for a long time. It takes me 30 mins to get within half a mile of him. And then I approach as stealthy as I can. I need to catch him and punish him! I am now in a position where I can see his back. He is sting on a rock wearing the typical apprentice robes, he has quite long messy dirty blond hair. He looks to be about 11 but I can see he has got a muscle under the robe despite his age. I get ready to jump on him and pin him down and stage him back to be punished! "I am not going to run, please just come out slowly and quietly so you don''t scare the fish away!" I am shocked that he managed to sense me, even some of the council can''t sense me when I suppress my aura. I don''t answer and just stare at him! He then turns and looks at me. As he turns his hair falls slightly revealing his slightly pointed ears. He is the same as me! I look at the boy, he is already handsome, with a strong jaw line and perfect white teeth. His eyes are both mesmerising, one is blue and the other is emerald. "I mean you with the pink hair, come out I won''t run just let me catch this fish." He turns back and concentrates on his fishing. My mind is in a mess at the moment, I have just met another member of my almost extinct species, and a man no less! He may be 10 years younger than me but from what my parents told me we are a very long lived race so 10 years doesn''t matter. His attitude needs adjusting but I can sort that out. I am already planning how to mold him into the perfect man! Although relationships are banned in the order, they do allow it under special circumstances. While I am lost in my own world, Ullr catches the fish, then kills it and guts it and now is making a fire and started cooking it. I am Only dragged back to reality when he nudges me offering half of the fish. I suddenly remember that I am looking for him so he can be punished for his stunt earlier with the council members. "Ullr!! When we get back you will be confined to your room for the next week as punishment for your stunt with the council today! Also from now on I am your master and you are my apprentice." At this he stops eating for a second and looks at me raising an eyebrow. He then without saying a word finishes his half of the fish, stamps out the fire, and heads off to the temple. "Aren''t you going to say something, apologise, or even say ''thank you Master Kara for taking me as an apprentice''?" I say this rather angrily at him. He stops walking away and let looks at me. "No" I am shocked, he has no respect and doesn''t care about anything. Before I say anything he walks away. The journey back to the temple I lectured him all the way there but he did not listen at all. Only walked quicker to get away from me! When we get back to the temple I get him to move all his stuff into the secured room the security have prepared for him and then I place one of them on his door instructing him that he is not to leave unless I say so and his meals are to be brought to his room. After that I head out to speak to Master Kalikef about him! I find her in the library as usual and approach her. "Ahh Kara, youngest member of the council! How are you dear? What can this old lady do for you?" "Hello, I am ok just a bit tired. I am hoping you could tell me about my new apprentice, Ullr." At this her eyes widen, and a look of shock spreads across her face. "You are taking Ullr Acron as an apprentice!? Are you sure you can handle him! He has a lot of issues." "Yes he is a bit of a trouble maker, but I believe I can guide him back into the right path!" "No dear, you don''t know of his parents do you?" I give her a confused look. "Both his parents were rouges who were being hunted for a very long time, but 9 years ago they finally were found, they ended up being killed but it took 4 members and their apprentices to kill them. Anyway afterwards he was found on their ship, he panics when he sees one of the apprentices with his parents weapons. He then took the boy by surprise and subdued him and retrieved his parents weapons. The boys master managed to convince him to come with him. He was allowed to keep his parents weapons but was forbidden from using them. Many believe he was too young to remember his parents and what happened to them, but I have watched him grow up for these last nine years and I can see it in his eyes that he knows exactly what happened that night." I am shocked by this information I am been given, at least I now know why he is a bit of a problem child. "Thank you for telling me about him!" "Anytime dear, let me know how you get on!" After that I leave and head to his room to talk to him. As I arrive at his room I see that the guard is gone. I quickly run up to the door and open it. Inside I see the guard tied up and gaged. "Damn it" I untie the guard and start the search again! It took me 3 months before Ullr gave up trying to get rid of me. He very nearly did when he shaved all my hair off, I still have know idea how he managed it without me noticing! Just like that five years passed, Ullr has grown into a handsome young boy, and I still can''t help but hug him every now and then. The only thing that annoys me about him is that he refuses to call me master. No matter what I do he will not call me master. It does upset me a bit but today is an exciting day. We were given a mission to capture a bounty hunter that has killed a member of the order. It is his first official mission and we are lying in wait for the target to turn up. I explain to him to let me do most of the fighting as he is not experienced against blasters. He annoys me slightly by not calling me master again, I make a cute face at him but I''d does not work! Just then the target and three others appear, I give the signal to attack and jump in killing one of them instantly, I then defend against heavy blaster fire from the bounty hunter and the others, but then I notice that Ullr''s presence has completely disappeared. I shout for him but he does not answer, I can''t find him anywhere. It takes me 30 minutes to subdue the bounty hunter. Once he is secure I start to leave but I find Ullr''s LightSword by the door, clearly stood up, placed there. "He left me! Why? W-why!" I start to tear up and before I know it I am crying. Did he not like me? Was I that bad? No no it clay be, but why did you run away? After the mission I had to report to the council that Ullr had disappeared, it took all my convincing to get them to let me look for him and bring him back. It took a while but eventually they agreed and I left and stared my search. It took me 3 and a half years before I had a solid lead, and then a year of stalking a bounty hunter called ''The Hunter'' before I was almost certain it was him. As I followed him I realised that he only took the bounties of the worst of the worst, and most of the time brought them in alive. I have followed him a a planet that is a pirate base, I watch him as he takes out the entire crew. I can see him use moves that I taught him. And I can feel a familiar aura coming from him. I watch him from the shadows as he finishes the last of them off. Then before I can react he points his weapon at my location. "Come out" his voice even though the helmet I recognise it! But is sounds so grown up now! I talk to him a bit and he realises that I know it is him. As he takes his helmet of I see his face for the first time in 4 and a half years. He is very handsome, he has cut his hair short now but it is still the dirty blonde hair I remember, his eyes are sharp but still beautiful. He now has a slight beard neatly kept and very short. It makes him look older, not my taste but I can get him to shave. "''Gasp'' oh my, Ullr you have become handsome! But please stop scowling and can you stop waving that gun in my face!!" He is waving a gun in my face and it is annoying me! "No" ha he is just as stubborn as he always was. I tell him to stop mucking about and that it is time to leave. He starts to talk about how the Order killed his parents. ''So he does remember. I explain how they were criminals and that they resisted. At this he sighs and starts to remove his armour. I can''t help but get a little flushed when he is standing there with just his boots and trousers on. I can see his well defined abs as well as a scar or two on his body, but that just makes him more attractive in my eyes!! Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. ''It looks like he is going to literally leave this life behind him'' I think smiling to myself. As he puts a shirt on I turn away telling him to follow me to my ship but then. ''Buzz'' ''Buzz'' I look back to see him wielding two yellow LightSwords. "Ullr what are you doing? No put those away before you hurt yourself, you have not used them in years." Why has he drawn them, he must be scared that he is going to be punished for running away! But before I could speak again he said it. "My name is Ullr Acrogn, I am a Rouge, and I will not come with you to my death!" No. Why why did he say that. I can feel tears forming in my eyes! Does he really hate me that much? He then releases his aura, and it is massive and hugely strong, stronger than mine. I try to stop him, I don''t want to fight him but he attacks me. I manage to block him and by this time I am crying! "WHAT DID I EVER DO TO FOR YOU TO HATE ME THIS MUCH?" Why does he hate me, I never meant for it to end up like this, we were meant to be happy and the Lin fall in love! Why why. But it was his next sentence that gave me hope! "I NEVER HATED YOU! YOU WERE ONE OF THE ONLY PEOPLE I FOUND OK!! IT IS THE ORDER I HATE FOR KILLING MY PARENTS FOR NOT FOLLOWING THEIR BELIEFS!!" At this I dropped my guard, what he said made me so happy! We have a chance. He then force pushed me away. I wiped away the tears in my eyes. I will beat him and then bring him back. But I will listen and help him get over this hardship! We then battle for the next seventeen hours. I can''t believe that we are evenly matched, it scares me at his progress but I must win! I then see an opening and stab him in his stomach, not a fatal blow but it will stop him from fighting. "You have lost Ullr" I say this in a whisper but he hears it! It pains me to see him like this but I will help him! "I only lost because the disturbance below us distracted me." What is he talking about. "Ullr I......" Before I could finish speaking a bright light flashed, I cover my eyes and then look at Ullr, he is in a strange glowing circle, I can now sense it, but I can see Ullr starting to collapse, I run to him. "ULLR. NOOOO" before I could reach him there is a bright flash and suddenly I am in a place and all round me is white, as I look around I see 3 other people, one girl who looks to be in tears and two guys but no Ullr. "Ullr where are you?" Tears start to for in my eyes again! ****** (Jess POV) My name is Jessica Samson, I am currently 19 years old, I am between jobs at the moment even though I don''t need to work. Two years ago, I was kidnapped while on holiday, there was 5 others that were also taken. 4 boys and another girl, I only learnt the girls name while I was there, it was Harriet. I was so scared during those months I was held, but there was one thing that kept me going. One of the boys, the oldest I think protected us, he took their beating, and always stood in front of us whenever they entered our prison. He was a very normal looking guy, with brown hair dark brown eyes and a slightly podgy frame, but he became slender after a few months as he would share his food with all of us if we looked hungry, jokingly saying that he didn''t need it. He always had a smile on his face, that smile I still remember to this day. Even during his countless beatings he always smiled at us, but once I saw his face when looking at our captives, defiance that was what was in his eyes. I have never met someone so strong. After I don''t know how many months, they came and put bags over our heads. The put us in a truck and drove. We drove for hours and then stopped, our bags were taken from our heads. "Embassy. Go!" One of the men in a thick accent said this and pointed. At the end of the street we saw soldiers, and the American and British embassy''s. We got out and all ran towards them, to safety. We were taken into the embassy and then we were safe. As we are taken inside I realised. ''Where is he?'' A day later we are flown home and welcomed back, I keep asking where is the other boy but I was told there was only 3 boys. When we landed we were taken to a hospital for check ups and rehab. It was then when some people from the government came to see me and told me about the other boy. Marcus Moon. They told me that 4 hours after we had arrived back at the embassy Marcus was tortured and then executed in one of our captives propaganda videos. At this news I broke down in tears. He protected us all the time we were there, and then he sacrificed himself for our freedom. They told me that he had no family and how he was a true hero. They also said that during his torture he barely cried out and was always smiling. I couldn''t believe that someone like him existed, he lead us through the dark only to fall and be left behind. We all spent the next month in hospital, as we were all malnourished, I spent most of my time silent not talking to anyone. I kept reading about how he was a true hero in the papers. When I left I was approached by some people asking for my account of it so they could make a tribute movie for him. I agreed as I thought it is at least what he deserved. It look them a year to make such I thought was very quick but it was very good. It was called ''Hero''s Spirit''. They did jazz it up a bit but it was more or less accurate, I received a large sum of money from the producers and was there for the red carpet showing. Throughout the whole movie I was crying, and all I could remember was him, by the end of it I came to a realisation that he was my true hero and I was in love with him. I am now standing at the memorial statue live I do every Sunday talking to him, telling him about my day and how I keep getting approached by guys and that he needs to come and get rid of them for me! "Hello Marcus, it is nice to see you" I lay the flowers I have with me at the base of the statue and look up at him. The way they portrayed him, he is standing with his arms out stretched with a defiant look on his face. "I got another request to come on a chat show to talk about you again, but I said I don''t think I can take crying on national TV again." I can feel tears forming in my eyes again. "I am sorry that every time I come here I start crying, it is just. I wish I could have one chance to see you again, even if it is just to say thank you." I start to cry with tears streaming down my face. All the people around me give me a quick look and then carry on, most of the people round here now know I was one of the people he rescued and leave me to it. "I am so sorry, I just really want to see you one last time!" I kneel down crying to myself. It is then I am suddenly surrounded by light, I look around confused. "W-what?" I try to run away but I can''t move my legs it is like they are glued to the pavement. It is then a circle forms. A few seconds later a flash of light and I am standing in a white room. I look around and see 3 other people, two guys who I have never seen before, they look to be in their late teens, and a strangely dressed very beautiful girl with pink hair. Before I can say anything there is another flash and the most beautiful woman I have ever seen appears, she has white hair, a perfect figure but her eyes are the only strange thing about her, the are pure white. She is wearing a white very simple dress that stops at the knee, and no shoes. "Greetings. My name is Claira Goddess of Light. Just incase some of you don''t know my followers are summoning a Hero and their companions, that is you." She looks around for a few seconds and then looks confused. "W-where is he? Excuse me just a second I will be back in a flash." There is another flash and she is gone. Then before anyone can even speak she is back again. "Sorry but it turns out the one who is the Hero is already regarded as a hero on your world so the God of true Hero''s will bless him, plus he is a special case anyway. Anyway I am going to give you each my blessing, part of my blessing is that you can learn thing much quicker than normal people in the world I am sending you too, a large mana pool and your natural regeneration is going to be increase. Now each of you come forward and receive your class from me." I don''t know what to think, me a cry baby nobody who is in love with a dead man, is being summoned as a Hero''s companion! I suddenly remember when Marcus protected me and Harriet from being raped by our captors. ''If I can''t see you ever again at least I can do is lead by your example and protect the helpless.'' "I will do as you ask to the best of my abilities." The blonde boy steps forward, he is not the most handsome guy in the world but at least the determination on his face shows his heart is in the right place. The Goddess walks up to him and kisses his forehead. "Your class is Paladin of Light. It is your duty to be immovable shield that protects your companions." He smiles and then steps back. Then the other guy walks forward. He is very slim and looks rather timid. "Erm, I don''t know why you chose me, I am a coward and I can''t fight." "Do not worry child, you are braver than you think." She then kisses him on his head. "Your class is Healer of Light. It is your task to look after your friends, and keep them alive." "Thank y-you." He whispers that and then steps back. The Goddess then looks at the other girl and me. "Before I give you your classes can both of you come over hear, I need to tell you something." I start to walk over to the Goddess who summoned three chairs and sat down. The other girl hesitates and then comes over and sits next to me. Before the Goddess could speak the other girl does. "Where is Ullr!" "Do not worry, he is the Hero that is being summoned, he is currently with the God of True heroes. You will see him when you arrive in my world." The girl nods and then remains quiet! "Now there is something you both need to know about Ullr, firstly he is a reincarnated person, who has kept all his memories of his previous life." "Well that explains a lot." The other girl says while leaning forward looking more interested. The then turns to me. "The second thing is, in his previous life he was called Marcus Mood, the universe he reincarnated into has a faster flow of time, so for you it has only been two and a bit years since he died, in the other universe has been a little over 20 years." Tears star to fall down my face, my prayers have been answered I am so happy and I just can''t stop crying. "What is the matter with her?" "In his previous life as Marcus Moon, he sacrificed his life for hers." "Oh" It takes me a good few minutes to calm down all the while I am thanking the goddess non stop. "Ok now to receive your classes." She kisses me on the head. "Your class is Arch Mage of Light, it is your task to rain down hell of those who threaten your companions." She then looks at the other girl. "Even though you being here is an accident, one more companion won''t hurt. Your Class is Master Swordswoman of light. With your skill you dance through the battle field, with none your equal." "Right I can''t keep you here any longer, make me proud." There is another flash of light and now we are standing in a magnificent throne room, we are surrounded by people dressed in white and gold robes. It is then a gentle female voice speaks. "Welcome Hero and her companions!" "Her????" ====== Ok I hope you enjoyed it. Just so you all know it is not a GenderBender just incase that last bit confused you. Ok please comment and rate!! Peace Chapter 2: Complications (3rd Person POV) Ullr is lying in a white space drifting in and out of consciousness. This is due to firstly his injuries, which are healing at a rapid pace, and his mental exhaustion from firstly hunting an entire pirate crew and then fighting Kara for 17 hours. After a minute a man appears red. He looked to be in his thirty''s, had black hair, above average looks, and a muscular body. All he was wearing was a simple black trousers, shirt and shoes with a standard looking sword at his waist. His most striking feature was his glowing golden eyes. This man was ''Maliketh God of True Hero''s''. "Well it looks like I won''t be able to talk to you then. You are too exhausted to stay conscious for more than a few seconds at a time!" Maliketh stood there for a few minutes looking at the man who he had chosen to give his blessing to. He had not done this in nigh on 3 thousand years. A few minutes passes and then another figure appears. "Maliketh!" "Hello Claira." "So it was you who intercepted the summons. Is he going to receive your blessing then?" "Yes he will, but there is something different about him I can''t put me finger on, we did take him from that strange universe that we struggle to see into, lucky you put a magic marker on him while his spirt was still on Earth!" "Yes, but I still had to use 7 time the amount of mana to summon him, I think that is part of the reason he is unconscious, his body and mind would have been flooded with mana, he is going to have one bad headache in the morning." "Yes he will. What of the others?" "The two other men are 17 and 18, they are both good natured, and will likely do all the can to help. The first girl is one of the girls Ullr saved in his first life, ever since she found out he sacrificed himself for her she has prayed for the chance just to see him one more time. She is also completely in love with him, so I decided to give her that chance. And then there is the last one." "Last one? Isn''t there only suppose to be 3 companions?" "Yes well she somehow got summoned with Ullr, she is his master from that universe. She also has feeling for him but would never admit it to him. Well not at the moment anyway." "Hmmmm, well I don''t see what harm one more companion will do." "Neither do I. Ok I have to get back to the others. Bye." "Goodbye." Just like that Claira is gone again. Maliketh carries on trying to work out what is the strange feeling he is getting of Ullr. It is like all the energies of the world flow around him completely in harmony, mana especially. In the world of Caireth, where Ullr and the others are being summoned to, mana is always present in everything, it flows through the world like wind, nothing but one or two extremely rare things can obstruct it. In Ullr''s case the mana is dancing around him, but it still passes though him. It was such an odd thing to see Maliketh couldn''t help but be infatuated by it. "Well aren''t you an odd one." He said while smiling, he then leans down and touches Ullr''s head. "Receive my blessing and your class of True Hero. Use them well." He then stands back and looks at the semi-conscious man lying down in front of him, wondering how he will fair being the first male hero in over two and a half thousand years, and how he will do in a matriarchal society. "Right time to go." As Maliketh raises his hand and starts to activate them teleportation spell, Ullr''s consciousness comes back for a moment. In that moment he panics thinking he is still in a fight and using a huge force push in Maliketh''s direction just as he finishes the spell. This force push disrupts part of the spell, Ullr is transported away, but not to the original coordinates of the spell. As well as disrupting the spell, the force push, much to Maliketh''s surprise sends him flying across the White space he is in, it even does a bit of damage, the tiniest amount though. He sits up with a smile on his face. "Wow, I was not expecting that! Hahaha he even hurt me! Hahahaha, it is fitting, all the True Hero''s of the past had some weird power that I did not give them, I can''t wait to see more of this one." Maliketh stands up still grinning to himself and then disappears from the white space. ****** (Elven Forest) In the forest away from any sentient beings, there is a surge of mana and then a flash of light, as the light fades Ullr''s unconscious body appears on the ground. Nine miles away there is a scout party of 3 elven females. They all have just felt the mana surge that originated to the south of them. "What was that?" (Elf 1) "A mana surge, but nobody should be in that direction? Right Selia?" (Elf 2) "No there should not be anyone there. Come on, let''s go!" (Selia) The elf know as Selia then sprinted off in the direction of the mana surge and the unconscious Ullr. It takes the elves an hour to reach Ullr''s location. He is still unconscious, his wound from being stabbed by Kara is about half way healed but still quit obvious. As the elves approach Selia spots Ullr. "Tina, Ari look." Selia points towards Ullr. "Is that a man?" (Tina) "I think so. Check him" (Selia) The elf called Tina approaches the unconscious Ullr. "He is alive and he is not an elf!" (Tina) "Human?" (Ari) "No but he looks like he could be a half breed, if not he has elf blood. His ears are slightly pointed, but not enough for a half elf." As Tina speaks she leans down and places her hand on his. Suddenly after a second she jumps back. "What is it Tina?!?" Selia says while quickly coming to her side. "H-his mana, it is huge more than anyone''s I have ever felt before!" "What! That is impossible, he is a man, there mana pools are always tiny." (Selia) "If you don''t believe me see for yourself." At this Selia bent down and touched his hand, as she does this she sees his injury as well as his LightSwords which are lying on the other side of him. "You are right, might explain how he got past the barrier. Look at his wound, you can clearly see it healing, he seems to have extraordinary ability to circulate his mana as well." This is actually not true. In Ullr''s case the mana in the atmosphere is constantly flowing round and through him, this stimulates his body to quickly heal, this is on top of his races natural healing ability which is high anyway. After Selia finishes Ari picks up Ullr''s LightSwords. "What are these? Weapons?" "I don''t know I have never seen anything like them before." Selia says while Ari passes them to her. "What is to become of him?" (Tina) "Hmmm, he has trespassed into the elven forest, normally that means death, but because of his massive mana pool I am sure that someone will find a use for him. When we get back put a slave collar on him, we will question him about these things and how he got here, then he will be sold." At this the two other elves nodded in agreement, Tina walked over to Ullr and roughly chucked him over her shoulder. Then the elves and headed back towards their home. ****** (Ullr''s POV) When I came to It was dark, after a few seconds for my eyes to adjust I realised I was in a stone room. It was only when I moved to get up that I felt and heard them. Handcuffs chained to the wall and some sort of metal neck choker. They were very bulky with weird symbols all over them, but I was not concentrating on them, I concentrated more on my rage and fear. All this situation did was remind me of my last life when I was a prisoner. I started to shake and pull the chains, they were well built but I could feel them starting to give, I could probably be free in about 45 minutes to an hour so I started to try and work myself free. After about 20 minutes I heard the door on the other side of the bars being unlocked. I stop what I am doing and face towards the door. Two women walk in, they are both dressed in light leather armour with green tunics under them. Both have blonde hair are are beautiful, they also both have pointed hears much larger than my own. Are they elves? "How did you get through the barrier into the Elven forest?" ''Yup they are elves, but wasn''t I just fighting Kara, where the hell am I?'' I go or the elf and turn away from them sit down and start to think. ''Ok I had just been stabbed in the stomach, which appears to have healed but that is not a nice scar. Then I lost consciousness, I think I re......'' "AAAARRRRRR" my thought wear interrupted by pain shooting through my body, it was no as bad as I have felt before but it caught me of guard, what did they do? I looked round at the elves I had been ignoring they both looked cross. "Slave I order you to answer my question!!!" Slave what!? NO no I can be. "Ah." Pain shot though my body again. "I don''t know what you are talking about and I am not a slave!" "Humph, you are obviously lying. And you are a slave, once I have my answers you will be sent to be trained and then sold off. Oh and you will fetch a high price as you have a lot of mana. Now let''s try a different question, what are these slave?" As sh spoke she took my parents LightSwords out from behind her, and held them out In front of her. "Are they weapons, or something you stole? Well ANSWER ME SL...." Before she could finish I force pulled them towards me, and they landed in my hands. "What how?? You shouldn''t be able to us magic! I order you to give those back." Pain shot though my body, but I kept myself silent, I looked up at her and grinned. "They are my parents weapons, which passed down to me when they died, now they are mine, and you will never take them from me again!" I then turned one on sending the base through the shackles which then fell to the ground. I started to walk forward attacking the other to my belt. "W-what, no stop, t-that is an order, STOPPPP!" Pain shot through my body but I pushed through it. One of the elves made a runner for the door but I held it shut using the force. As I got to the bars, the last thing separating us I sliced through them and stepped out of the cell. It was then the elves both drew swords and attacked me in unison, seeing that the thing causing me pain didn''t bother me they opted to either kill me or make me submit. As they approached, I only thought one thing. "Too slow" I swiped my LightSword cutting though both of their weapons about and inch from the hilt. Before they could properly react I sent them flying with a force push, the one who was questioning me was knocked out when she hit the wall, but the other one was not. I dashed forward and pointed my sword at her neck. Fear was all over her face. "What is causing me this pain?" She looked at me and hesitated but then answered me. "T-the s-slave collar a-around your n-neck. Bu...." Before she could finish I brought my blade up to the collar around my neck cutting it off. As it fell to the floor more pain than I have ever felt before shot through me body. "AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR" as I screamed I fell to the floor, as I did the elf used this opportunity to grab the other elf and run out of the door. For the next ten minutes I rolled on the floor in pain. It stated to fade, but slowly. After another 5 minutes it had faded enough for me to stand up. Looking around I picked up my LightSword that I had dropped. I walked up to the door, just before I was bout to open it I sense multiple people on the other side of the door waiting to take me by surprise. I take a few steps back from the door and then send a blast of the force towards the door. It was a bit more effective than I was expecting, not only the door but part of the walls were blown away. As I walked through the now large hole in the wall, I saw 10 elves all laying on the floor unconscious, none were dead and only one was partially conscious. I walked towards him. ''Slap'' "Where is the exit." The slap brought him round just enough to answer my question. "That way, up the stairs all the way and them straight ahead." He said pointing down the hall. If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. At that I stood up and started to make my way out, I didn''t run into anyone else on my up I now can see the exit ahead of me, I walk up to it but it is locked, getting annoyed I blast the door open using the same technique as before but with a lot less power behind it. A walk out and realise that I am walking out of a huge tree. In front of me is an obvious used square but with nobody in it. Around the square are other trees with doors and windows in. There are also a few buildings made of wood and stone. I walk out into the centre of the square, I can sense that I am surrounded, but they are staying out of sight. "Come out." I say this loudly, and it echoes through the square. It is then elves start to show themselves. Some are in the trees others on top of building and a few on the floor. All of them are pointing their bows at me. ''I really wish I still had my armour and Blasters!'' I pull out both my LightSwords but do not activate them, but remain ready. After a few minutes I hear some elves approaching while talking. "Is really one male causing all this?" "Yes he is Princess Sylvia. According to the report he uses some strange wind magic, he also uses some strange magic weapons. We believe they are weapons of the ancients." "These weapons must be powerful to make a male that strong. Hmmmm I will handle this, I am interested to see them in use." "Yes my princess, but I must warn you from the report these blades of light cut through a sword like it was not there." "Thank you for the warning but, do you think o would really lose to a male?" "N-no I would never imply that, princess." "Do not worry yourself." I am not sure how but my hearing has defiantly got a lot better suddenly, I can clearly hear there conversation from quite a distance away. After a brief moment the ''Princess'' makes her way towards me. She is very beautiful like all the elves, except she has silver hair on a ponytail, unlike any of the others around me. An hourglass body with all the right proportions. B cup boobs, but she has a beautiful tight ass. Her rose lips and green eyes perfectly contrast each other. She is dressed in a very beautiful and expensive looking battle dress, she has a rapier on her waist that has its own aura. The only thing that ruins her beauty is the arrogant look on her face. "You there slave, you will hand over those artefacts and return to your cell or I will beat you to the brink of death and then take those artefacts." "You have to much arrogance. I will not hand theses over as they belonged to my parents, and are not yours. You could never wield them anyway." The reason for this is I set a dna reader on the switch so only I can activate the LightSwords. The princesses face goes a bit red but she gives me the most malicious smile I have ever seen. "Ha you think you, a male is my equal in combat. You may have those two artefacts that boost your power but even with them you are still no match for me!" As she finishes she draws her sword and energy starts to gather around her other hand. "You think my LightSwords give me power, fine I shall fight you without them." I clip both of them back onto my belt. "Then this will be quick!" A fireball appears in her hand and flys towards me. I jump to the side and prepare myself. (Third person) When Ullr dogged Sylvia''s fireball she was honestly surprised, not many had the reflexes able to doge one. As she was about to prepare another spell, blue lightning flys out of Ullr''s fingers. On instinct Sylvia casts shield, the lightning hits the shield, some of it passes through and hits Sylvia, her shield also cracks from that that does not pass through. "ARRRRE" the Lightning does not last long as one of the elves fire at Ullr causing him to dodge. "DO NOT INTERFERE!" Sylvia is now more cautious of Ullr, he had again used a strange magic that partially passed through her shield. Not taking any more chances she casts, wards and buffs to herself. All this time Ullr just watched. Once all the buffs and wards were done she decided to attack with her rapier. It was a powerful magical sword made of mithrill. Using a magic called ''swift charge'' Sylvia attacked Ullr, she aimed for his heart, but much to her surprise he dogged. Unknown to her, in a lot of the fights Ullr had been in, this was a very common move, so he could doge it quite easily. She carried on striking at vital points but Ullr kept dogging, but he did get a scratch or two. Gathering the force around his fist Ullr prepared to attack. The ability he is about to use, raps the force around your fist then when striking the target you release 3 waves in quick succession. It is a relatively easy technique to learn and is very useful when fighting with no weapons against an armoured enemy as it can destroy armour and cause heavy internal injury. Ullr let Sylvia catch him in the shoulder, so she would be open for his attack. As her sword penetrated his shoulder, Sylvia could not help but smile at causing him pain. But when she looked at his face and saw a smile she realised she had fallen for a trap. Ullr''s fist hit Sylvia''s ward a centimetre from her stomach. From the first wave some passed through the ward, and damaged her armour, and bruised her tummy, the next wave did the same but did a little more damage, the final wave from the punch broke the ward and hit her full in the stomach causing internal injuries, and sending Sylvia flying back. As she flew, Sylvia dropped her rapier, and it landed 5 meters from her. Standing up she was In a sorry state. Her armour around her stomach was falling apart, her hair had come lose and blood was leaking from her mouth. The elves surrounding the square and watching this battle were all in shock, their princess known for her battle prowess was losing to a male. She might not be the most powerful person in the elven kingdom but she was not weak, plus her opponent was unarmed and had only used two visible techniques. Among the elves the princesses handmaiden was recalling what the princess had said five years ago when her mother tried to arrange a marriage for her. ''I will not marry a weakling, only if someone can best me in a duel will a marry them.'' Sylvia cast a healing spell on herself, and then realised she had dropped her sword, she ran to it to pick it up but before she could touch it, Ullr pulled it to himself with force pull. Catching it he started to examine the sword, he still could not work out why it had an aura. "G-GIVE THAT BACK!!" Ullr looked up at the disheveled princess. "It is not wise to return an enemy their weapon, especially in a battle." "Why you!" The princess was going extremely red in anger. As Ullr looked at her he saw a huge amount of energy (mana) starting to circulate around the princess. Sylvia was preparing to case her most powerful spell, ''Tempest blades'' it compresses the air into thousands of blades witch then form a tempest that launches at the target/targets. Usually this spell is used against multiple enemies. The spell will use up most of her mana but Sylvia is sure it will be enough to defeat Ullr. Smiling she launches the spell. Ullr sensing the danger creates a force shield, and valves himself. The tempest collides with the shield, Ullr slides back a few meters but his shield holds and keeps holding. The spell lasts for 30 seconds before staring to dissipate. Sylvia is smiling thinking she has won, as the spell disparates she is laughs thinking she had won. "Hahahahaha see, you still are no match for me. Hahahaha" despite her words, she did realise how powerful Ullr is. Just as the last bit of dust started to clear Sylvia heard a voice that sent chills down her spine. "Is that all?" Sylvia looked closely and saw Ullr standing there unharmed with the rapier still in his hand. Before she could react Ullr used the force to propel himself forward, arriving in font of Sylvia almost instantly, he placed the blade under her neck. "You lose princess." Ullr then quickly stepped forward and around Sylvia placing the flat of the blade against her neck, and then grabbed her. "You will now bring me supplies, a cloak, a bow and arrows, and a map. Or well you get the gist." Many of the elves were in shock, not only had their princess lost she was not a hostage. "I will kill you!" Sylvia said in anger and embarrassment. "If you don''t shut up I will cut your ears off." Ullr did not know this but for an elf to have their ears cut off was a great fear as it was done to slaves by humans at a point in the past and was a sign of weakness. Unsurprisingly the princess shut up and remained quiet. Sylvia''s handmaiden was the first to recover and stepped forward. "Please do not hurt her, we will get what you want." "Good, if I receive the supplies and safe passage out of this forest she will not be harmed. Also if you poison the food know that I will make her try everything before I let her go." "Yes we understand" the handmaiden started shouting orders at other elves, it was 15 minutes later that everything was brought. But Ullr was not happy as he could sense some energy radiating form some of the things he had brought and not others. Unknown to Ullr he could sense tracking magic on the bad and the cloak. "I am not a fool, bring me back equipment that has not been tampered with, next time she loses an ear!" The handmaiden has a surprised look on her face but takes the bag and cloak away to be changed. Once she comes back Ullr can''t sense any energy. Nodding he gets the princess to pick up everything at the while keeping the blade firmly against her neck. "None of you are to follow, if you do you will only cause your princess pain, once I am at the edge of the forest I will release her unharmed. Do we have a deal?" Ullr looked at the handmaiden. "Y-yes we do, none shall follow you, you have our word." At this Ullr with Sylvia in tow left heading to the edge of the forest. (Ullr''s POV) We are nearing the edge of the forest after traveling for over 8 hours, from what Sylvia has told me, when she is not swearing at me, one of the human kingdoms borders the elven forest, and the closest villages are all about 20-30 miles away. The elves kept their end of the bargain and didn''t follow. Sylvia''s mood has been getting gradually worse as we near the edge of the forest. I have realised that she is just a big spoilt child, hopefully losing to me will do her some good. We have just reached the edge of the forest, I can see flat planes ahead of me and another small forest in the distance. As I reach the very edge of the forest j am stopped by some sort of barrier. "You are an idiot, the forest is surrounded by a barrier, only mother and a few others can open it. I suggest you surrender as you will never escape this forest." Ignoring her I took out one of my LightSwords and activated it. I then started to gather the force around the blade, then I charged the blade with force lightning. This is a technique my parents taught me, it is extremely devastating at short range. Putting all my strength behind it I slashed at the barrier. For a few seconds nothing happened, frustrated I did it again and again, and finally on the 17th slash the barrier cracked, and then on the 18th it broke, but not fully. A hole the size of a small house formed. Smiling I looked back at Sylvia who was shocked to her core seeing the man who beat her make a hole in the barrier that even her mother pups not dent. The reason for the barrier breaking was the other energies that were used in the attack, the barrier was not made to stop these energies and so caused it to break. Not wasting anytime Ullr picked up the pack, bow, quiver, and the clock and made his way towards the hole. Looking back he threw the rapier that he still had at Sylvia''s feet and then using the force to propel him disappeared off into the distance before Sylvia could say or do anything. ====== Ok I hope you liked the chapter, I have never done a proper fight scene before so I hope it is ok! Please comment and rate Peace!!! Help!!! [Spoilers] Hi!! Ok this is embarassing but please dont rage. Oh and DON''T READ IF YOU DON''T WANT AND POSSIBLESPOILERS!!! During this summer I worked for a very labour intensive company, this gave me a lot of stress and i needed a release. One day during morning break I stared day dreaming about a sith apprentice suddenly appearing in a fantasy world and how his ability with the force and the magic of the world interacted. For the rest of the day that was all i could think about and I even had a debate with a friend about it. Anyway after a few days of thoughts the story pretty much developed to where it is now. During my lunch break while reading a new chapter on here I decided to write it down. and so i did and uploaded it. Now i didnt plan any of the story, just what came to mind. Anyway I want to carry on writing it and develop at least a basic plan for the first arc. Now this is where my problem is, I came up with 5 differnt story lines in detail and ended up, finding massive holes in the story, not exciting enough or ended up hating the storyline. Please could you help me come up with some ideas for the first arc and also what you would like to see. I do have a few things I want in there though.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. 1. Elf Princess is not a harem member 2. First girl not from earth or the star wars univers is a lumia (sorry i have a thing for them :P) and he meets her before knowing about the girl he saved from earth and his master. 3.

Ok please help me with this and tell me if there is anything that needs improving! Thanks guys and gals Peace Chapter 3: Truth In the beginning there was void and nothing else, no energies, no matter, no souls and no Gods! But then in a cascade of light and dark the universe came to be, bringing everything into existence including being born in the light who had great power. These beings would eventually be called Gods. At first the beings were barely self aware, a consciousness but with no knowledge, instincts or ability to think. As time went by these being learnt about the universe the were the residence of, interacted with each other, becoming more self aware and some fully sentient. Over the first few millennial of the universe all the being became fully aware as well as discover who they were, as well as their powers they possessed. It was during this time of discovery that every single god had their first, instinctual earning, this was to come together and create a world and fill it with life. None new were it came from and many wondered, but not one of them decided not to do it. Together the then made the world. Pleased with their creation they called it Erial. As time passed the sentient races were created, and the gods Guided them, they created kingdoms, discovered their own power to manipulate mana and advances their culture, thriving and happy the gods were content but this was not to last. The Gods were brought into existence in the light, but unknown to them other being came to be from the dark, light cannot exist without darkness. The beings of the dark kept themselves hidden within it watching the Gods create Erial, and after watching the sentient races exist with only light, their first desire came to them, to full the world with darkness. They revealed themselves and started to manipulate the world with darkness. This enraged the Gods of light and incited a war of light vs dark, and eventually caused the distraction of Erial, which in turn disturbed the only being who existed before everything came to be, from its slumber, void itself awoke for the first time since the Gods came to be. Void was neither of the light or of the dark, so when discovering what had come to pass during his slumber, was completely neutral in his thoughts. Seeing what had been created then destroyed by them angered him greatly, so immediately he subdued every being of light and darkness. After his anger subsided, he set rules for them, they were not allowed to fight each other, directly or indirectly. The ones born of light must make a plane where they will exist and so must the ones of darkness. He then told them to recreate the world, but both light and dark can exist on this world. Void then released them, and for the first time in their lives all of the Gods, both light and dark felt fear and realised they weren''t the most powerful beings in this universe. So what Void asked was done, a new world was created, they called it Turria and both light and dark ruled over it, after a few millennia the Mortals referred to those of Light as Gods and those of Darkness Evil Gods. [Extract from ''Path to Godhood'' a book from the Library of Galitria capital city of the Vlyrx, first sentient being of Turria born from Chronos. The Vlyrx are now virtually extinct, the reason is unknown to any but the few surviving members of the Vlyrx. It is speculated there was a war causing the destruction of virtually the whole of their race!] ****** (Ullr POV, Unknown forest in unknown kingdom) After I left the Elven forest I ran non stop for near on 24 hours. A few hours after I left I realised they might send people after me, to try and prevent this I started changing directions at random times, but o always made sure I was traveling away from the forest. Being a good tracker myself I knew this wouldn''t fool experienced trackers, so I also used force jump now and then. I can jump around 300m without exerting myself too much, even if this didn''t stop them it would really slow them down! Once I slowed my pace to a walk, I thought about how I got here and where here is. Last thing I remember before waking up in the Elven prison, was Kara''s light sword piercing my body, as well as the pain I felt. After that not much as I was losing consciousness but I do recall a flash of light, and then next thing I know I am waking up back there. Still with no idea what happened, so I decide to find the closest city, find out where I am, quickly earn some money and then leave this planet, and find somewhere I can live in peace! I carry on traveling at a slower pace. Around noon two days after I come across the first settlement. It is a small farming village, there are only a few dozen building and about 100 residents, give or take a few. The main aspect of the village is it looks like a medieval village from Earth, only difference being the buildings decent construction.If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Despite finding the village, I did not enter it to avoid unnecessary problems. I carried on traveling my mind more occupied with now more questions! From what I could see, this village had absolutely no technology. Now I have been to many very remote places but even they had some form of tec. This village seemed to look like it had the same tec as a medieval village from earth! 3 Days of more walking before I come across a much bigger settlement, and it was the same as before. I really could not rap my head around it! How and why did they not have any tec? Is this a pre space travel world? How did I get here? It has been a day since I passed the second settlement, I am now in a forest and have stopped to rest and try to work out what is going on. I get a fire going and decide to meditate, hoping it will help revel what has happened to me. I sit down and take the lotus position, closing my eyes I empty my mind and focus on the force that flows around me. Not long after I start I realise something does not feel right with the force, there is something else there, increasing my concentration I focus on this difference hoping to find out what it is and why it is there. I don''t know how long it took but finally I succeeded in pinpointing the anomaly, and start to explore what it is. As my conscientiousness reaches out to it, my mind is filled with information in the form of a vision! (A/N. The vision only reveals that he was transported to a different universe. He does not know anything about the gods that blessed him or he was summoned as a hero.) As the vision ends, and I remember everything that happened I slump down on the floor. My breathing is erratic and I am covered in sweat, but there is a smile on my face. I now know I am in a different world and the anomaly I can feel in the force is mana, this is a world of magic! No more constant looking over my shoulder, no Kara hunting me and no Order to force their ideals on me! As I sit there contemplating what I just learnt, I start to feel a strange but familiar feeling spreading through me. It takes a few minutes for me to recognise it as I have not felt it in a very long time, I feel free. Complete and utter freedom, I can go where I like and live peacefully without fear. The only problem is that the elves might be hunting me, but as I didn''t kill any of them I hope if they do fine me, they are willing to talk as well as accept my apology. Unsure what to do now I know my situation, I decide to carry on traveling and let the force guide me. For the next few days I walk only stoping to sleep, eat and relieve myself. During that time I don''t come across a single person. Admittedly I am not traveling by road but I did come across many roads and paths that looked well used. It didn''t especially bother me but it did feel a bit odd. It is early afternoon of the fourth day, it is a bit cold so I have the hood of my cape up as well as a scarf I found in the pack the elves gave me, rapped around my neck and pulled up over the lower part of my face. I am walking across grassland, to my right is a forest and to my left in the distance I can see a large lake. It is a beautiful sight. Over the last few days I thought about what I am going to do and how I am going to live in this new world. Everything is new and unknown to me and a part of me wants to travel and see what this world has to offer, but not now. As I have more or less zero knowledge on how society works or what is normal proceedings. If I set off without knowing how things work, I would stick out like a saw thumb, and more than likely end up getting caught up in something troublesome. So in the end I decided to try and find a peaceful area near a village or small town to build a house. I would hunt my own food and sell anything extra and the pelts to the nearby village, as well as learning about the people of this world and what''s normal! I also hope to find a spot near a river, small lake or stream so I can do some fishing. Incase your wondering why fishing, my only memory of my Earth Father, was him taking me fishing. He died soon after and as my mother died in childbirth I went to an orphanage. But I always loved fishing as it was associated with pleasant memories. The other thing I would do is improve my understanding of the force as well as try to master all my second parents taught me. Eventually I will go and see the world and all its wonders, but for now I am looking for a place I can live on my own in peace! As I continued enjoying the view before me, I started to feel a little hungry, unfortunately two days ago the supplies I was given ran out. Luckily water wasn''t an issue as there were a fair number of streams and springs I could fill my canteen at. For food I hunted some small game as I traveled, thankfully a large quantity of salt was packed so I could preserve what I didn''t eat. Reaching into my pack I removed some of what I preserved, unwrapped it and stared eating it. The meat was from some sort of bird that was the size of a pheasant but it had more of a beefy taste. As I put the last bit in my mouth, a noise echoed through the forest. "AHHHHHHHHHHH" I scream filled with terror, this did not come from an animal, it was from a girl. I froze completely, not even blinking. A battle was going on in my head, part of me didn''t want to get involved as it would definitely cause problems. The other part compelled me to help, at least it showed I still had a part of me that cared! After a few more seconds I decided. "Ahh fuck it!" I turned and sprinted full speed towards where the scream came from and trying to sense where she is. Chapter 4.5: Problems (1/2) (Glendow Kingdom Royal Palace, Kara POV) It has been over a week since the summoning?? I still don''t quite understand how they brought us here, but from watching the ones they call mages use what they call ''magic'', what I can tell is that at the expenditure of some of their internal energy they are able to manipulate a certain aspect of the force. It is impressive what they have achieved through this, I plan to study it more once I have found Ullr. (Next part is a flash back) When we first arrived the queen stepped forward welcoming us while she briefly looked at each of us. After a short pause she smiles at me and approaches. From how she welcomed us, they believe that the hero they summoned is female. And as I have technically just come straight out of a fight, I am covered in dirt, my cloak is in pieces and my armour has burn marks all over it, from the close calls Ullr gave me as we fought. In short I looked like a battle maiden so when compared to Jess who is wearing clean clothes as well as a slightly nervous look on her face, it is unsurprising the queen thinks I am the Hero. Arriving in front of me and looking directly into my eyes for a moment, with a look full of relief, happiness and hope on her face she curtsies to me before she speaks. "Great hero, we welcome you and besiege you to lend us yo......" I hold up my hand stopping her. "Sorry but I am not the hero. I am just a Swordswoman." The queen blinks a few times then turns towards Jess. "Then you....." Before she could even finish the question Jess is vigorously shaking her head. She starts looking round the room with a confused look. When I first arrived I did realise Ullr wasn''t with us but I assumed as he was with a different ''god'' he wouldn''t arrive at the same time as us, plus he was unconscious when he was summoned so he might still be when he arrives, but too much time has passed, either he has done something or something went wrong. ''Cough'' The man still seated on the other throne, more than likely the king. Coughs loudly into his hand bringing the queens thoughts back to the present. Looking back to me, the smile gone replaced by a irritated and expectant look she speaks. "Where is the hero? Why is she not with you?" Despite her calm tone, I could feel the annoyance in her words. A quick glance around and saw the others looking at me expectantly I answered. "Firstly your majesty the hero''s name is Ullr and he is a man. I don''t know where he is because a different god summoned him." As I spoke the queen had a look of shock and disbelief but once I said a different god it instantly changed to a serious one. "A male hero, the ancient myths and stories could the be true? The god do you know which one?" The queen mumbled the first question to her self before directing the second to me. "I don''t know his name but we were told ''The God of True Hero''s'' summoned him." After that the queen and everyone there got all over excited and we were bombarded with questions, and would have been there for hours if Jess had not yawned. We were shown our rooms and left to rest for the night. The next morning we were told that one of the priestess''s received a message from the Goddess. Apparently as Ullr was about to be sent to us, an unknown force caused him to be send somewhere near the Elven Kingdoms. To help us find him the goddess left a necklace that can trace his basic location. The queen has ordered a search party to find him, they are given a week to prepare before they leave. Wanting to join them I speak to the queen and explain that Ullr and I are close and how I would be a great help in finding him, agreeing to my request I now leave with the search party tomorrow. I will find him, I must, he needs my help! (Back to Present, Ullr''s POV) It has barely been two minutes since my decision to attempt to help the screaming girl. She has cried out 7 more times in the last couple of minutes or so, but the last two were not ones of fear like the ones before, they were ones of pain. Most would not be able to hear the difference between them, only those who have witnessed many gruesome and hellish acts would clearly hear the difference. Running through the forest I keep pushing my senses further and further ahead of me. I know the general direction to go and she doesn''t sound too far away. Lucky for her I don''t only have my eyes and ears to rely on. I keep searching as I run and listen for her next cry. Twelve seconds pass and still not a sound, after 20 seconds of more silence, the longest by far of silence between her screams, I start to doubt she is still alive. Just as that though enters my head, I sense them. Six beings about 500-550 meters northwest of me, from what I can feel of the six only one is female and she is full of fear with no hope left. The other five I sense happiness, amusement, a small amount of disgust, but most of all I sense lust.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. I increase my speed as much as I can and focus around them. They seem to be in a small clearing which has what I think is a man made path heading the opposite direction I am coming from which I assume they used. Normally with no obstacles it would take me about 20 or so seconds to cover 500 meters, the two reasons for my speed is firstly according to Kara I am not human but a very old and rare race who''s name had been forgotten, second I am using a technique that makes me two times faster for as long as I can hold my concentration. Also I could have used the dash technique that covers 180-230 meters in a second but my limit is 2 which nearly completely drains me. I couldn''t use it in the forest anyway. I move through the undergrowth weaving between the plants and trees, meter after meter I run. Twenty seconds and I am still a hundred or so meters away, but now one starts to move towards the girl, his lust is over flowing. ''Faster! Faster!!!'' (POV: 3rd person) Ullr put all his effort to go even faster, he now didn''t always fully avoid the bushes and small branches as he ran, they whipped into him causing stinging pain but his clothing stopped anything breaking his skin. If he passed by someone at this point they would just see him as a blur that passed in a split second. With all effort in going as fast as possible, Ullr''s mental barriers that he has to control his emotions so to prevent getting close with people also start to lower as he getting closer. During the time Ullr had looked for the girl he heard scream, the five bandits had dragged the screaming girl towards the clearing. There group had just successfully raided a caravan only loosing three men in the attack and one serious but not life threatening injury. During the attack one of the members of the caravan, a half dwarf half human, turned out to be a very strong warrior who could also use a few basic healing spells. If his dwarf blood hadn''t caused his magic affinity to be so low, he would have had similar abilities to a paladin and the outcome would have been very different. He wore reinforced leather armour as it was more suited for travel, and wielded a two handed hammer. He was the one responsible for killing the three men lost. The five bandits were sent to deal with him by there leader. They were all veteran fighters, the best in the group excluding the leader who was a monster. It didn''t take them long to kill him, when he died the skirmish also ended. There reward was they can take one prisoner to do as they wish, grabbing the girl they made there way to the clearing they had used before. The five arrived at the clearing with there prize, the youngest of them was getting fed up of her screaming, the others were enjoying hearing and seeing her terror. She was tied to a nearby tree and then the five talked about what to do and who is first. Of the five there were three human males, the youngest being one of them, one human, wild Demi human, Orc mixed blood male and was probably the most intelligent one despite his Orc heritage. And finally there was a female half Elf half hobgoblin, she was quite pretty and had Elven features, one differences were her green skin, much longer ears and her shaper facial features. With her cries only getting louder the youngest can''t take it anymore and quickly moves towards her. "Shut your fucking mouth bitch! No one will hear you, your ours to play with. No one will fucking come to your rescue and who would want to help an abomination like you anyway!" As he talks he points his sword at her while speaking, a look of disgust on his face. Just as the last word leaves his mouth he skilfully stabs his sword in her arm missing all major arteries and veins. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" She screams again but it quickly ends. Smiling he slowly removes his blade from her arm. The girl holds in a scream but her whimpers can be clearly heard. Crouching down he looks her in the eyes, he can see her hope fading away. He loves seeing that in his victims eyes, when they loose all hope. "You will die here today bitch but don''t worry it won''t be quick, I''ll make sure of it!" His hand shoots forward grabbing her injured arm, pushing his thumb hard against the wound. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" After a few seconds pushing his thumb against the wound he removes his hand. He sees in her eyes as she loses the last slither of hope followed by the realisation that she will suffer greatly and nothing can stop it, her mind starts to break slightly. The young bandit stands up with a big smile on his face. His favourite thing to do is break someone''s will and mind, but as the others want some fun too he doesn''t completely break her. As he stands up he decides to patch up some of the damage he did to her mind. "You don''t have to worry yet, the others will have their fun before I do. You don''t need to fear what they''ll do, you''ll probably enjoy it." He sees the desired look of confusion on her face. Her thoughts now on what the others will do stoped any further damage and also helped repair some parts. Walking back towards the group, who had mostly ignored what happened, concentrating on who gets to go first. Only the Orc mixed blood seems annoyed. "Garon, you know that you don''t get to have your fun first as you break them making them no fun for us!" The Orc glares at Garon with his arms crossed in front of him! "I know, I know. Don''t worry I didn''t break her just shut her up. Those screams were driving me mad! Anyway whose first then?" Not seeming to care about the Orc''s unimpressed look, he takes out his sword to clean and sharpen it. "Hmmm. Jerett is first this time." Nodding towards one of the other human males. Nodding he starts his work with his sword. With a smile plastered over his face Jerett made his way towards the girl. Everyone knew he was doing to rape her over and over again. Strangely only him, the other human and occasionally the Elf girl will rape there victims, but the other man will only rape humans and the Elf will only rape girls with large breasts, neither of which this girl was. Jerett on the other hand will rape any prisoner they get to play with, boy or girl, every humanoid race and any age. When he gets within a meter of the girl, the Elf girls who ears start twitching, both Elves and Hobgoblins have great hearing so hers is extremely good. Moving towards Jerett with a concerned look on her face, she quickly warns her companions that something is approaching very quickly. "Jerett, wait something''s coming!" Jerett stopped and turned to look at her. Before anything more could be said Jerett is kicked in the back, the loud snap of his back breaking is heard and he is sent flying before crashing into a tree and falling in a heap at the base of the the tree completely still with blood dripping from his mouth. Chapter 4: Problems (2/2) (POV: 3rd Person, Cresik Forrest) The 4 bandits had just witnessed an unknown figure (A.N: Its Ullr btw:P) appear from the trees so fast that to all but the elf woman, who''s senses were naturally greater than the others because of her Elf heritage, had seemed to just appear from know where. Then almost instantaneously kick Jerett with so much force it broke his back and send him flying nearly ten meters across the clearing like a rag doll before colliding into a tree ending his journey and seemingly his life. The shock of witnessing this left them all frozen where they were staring at the figure before them. The figure looked to be male, he was about 6ft 2 (A.N: 184cm), his body had almost perfect proportions, broad shoulders, slim waist and limbs that were the perfect length for his torso, in short he had an athletic but strong build.(A.N: Similar to a Rugby player or for my American readers a Football Player. :D) He wore a cloak with the hood up and a scarf that was pulled up covering the lower half of his face. Under the cloak it looked he wore a black top made from an unknown material, dark brown trousers, a belt with many pouches and two weird objects hanging from it and finally armoured boots and gloves/greaves with a strange design and made from an unknown material to them. The man''s body was turned sideways to the bandits, (in their prospective he came from the left side of the clearing straight across to Jerett) briefly he looked at his handy work then turned towards them. Facing them they now can all clearly see his eyes, one was a deep sapphire blue and the other was an emerald green. It was the slight glow coming from them and the clear disgust in them that made all of them feel a little fear in their hearts. The Elf was the first to recover, her long sword was half drawn which she did when she was approaching Jerett giving her warning. Kicking off she charged at Ullr her sword now fully drawn. As he was not armed she wanted to press an attack and either kill him or in the worst case prevent him from drawing a weapon. Unfortunately she barely was able to take three steps before Ullr raised his hand and force pushed her away, she was thrown nearly 10 feet in the air as she flew back across the whole clearing before disappearing into the surrounding forest. Garon was the next to react closely followed by the other two. The other human started chanting something while Garon moved to attack with sword and dagger in hand, closely followed by the Orc who wielded a great hammer which he had taken from the dwarf the killed. As Garon made his approach to attack, he saw Ullr calmly reach for the strange looking artefact(light sword) that hung from his belt. Garon quickened his pace as he assumed the artefact is a weapon, a powerful one at that. The other man finished chanting when Garon is about 10 meters from Ullr. Garon and the Orc both have a red glow appear on them, the spell the human Mage cast was a buff spell to increase their strength and speed. He covers the last few meters between them almost instantly, he also performs the sword ability ''Phantom Strike''. The ability creates an identical copy of the user who attacks from the front as the real user will be instantly transported behind the target and hidden from there senses and free to attack their unaware foe. Ullr thinking he had time to draw one of his light swords, was very surprised when the man who was about to attack him, suddenly moved so fast it seemed he teleported in front of him. With no time to draw his weapon Ullr had to doge, as he was about to step back and avoid the attack, through his connection with the force it sent a warning that if he stepped back only death awaited him. With that instead he dodged to the side rolled once before standing up light sword in hand but not turned on. Ullr saw why he would have died if he had stepped back to doge, the person who attacked from the front was now fading away with the real attacker landing next to him, coming from the opposite direction. Ullr guessed he had used some sort of technique to achieve this, and he was unable to sense him using the mana for the technique because the spell the other man used drowned it out. Not wanting to waist time as the Orc man was getting close and fighting both of them with the Mage man aiding them and the Elf lady preparing to attack while hidden in the trees, Ullr activated the light sword in his hand and moved to attack Garon. Garon was disappointed and surprised his attack had been dogged, it was one of his strongest and favourite techniques, it could fool some powerful warriors, only those with great perception are able to see though it. Looking at his target who was now turning to face him, he saw he now held the strange artefact, Garon now had no doubt it was a weapon of some kind. He heard Tarin (human Mage) start another chant and saw that Kurrn was only a few seconds away. As a grin started to form on his face Ullr activated his Sword. Seeing the yellow blade made of light appear as if from no where, Garon became serious and prepared to defend as Ullr move to attack. Ullr raised his light sword intending to make a diagonal strike. Garon had raised his sword to deflect the incoming attack before his counter attack. But as their weapons met and he saw the strange sword cut through his blade as if it was butter, he was only filled with confusion before he was bisected by the same weapon and his life ended. Kurrn was only a few meters away now but the shock of seeing Garon sliced in half made his concentration falter, this was enough for Ullr to make a quick strike slicing through half of the orc''s body before Kurrn could defend. With the Orc taken care of only the Elf girl and the human Mage (who was still chanting) remained. Not wanting the Mage to finish his spell and attack, Ullr shot purple lightning at him. The lightning was partially blocked by a blue barrier that appeared around the man, the lightning that wasn''t stopped hit the man causing him to scream interrupting his chant. The barrier only held for a few moments be for shattering and the full force of the attack did its work, killing him quickly. The Elf was hidden just outside the clearing, she was aiming her bow at Ullr''s back intending to support Kurrn. The rather gruesome death of Garon had shocked her a little but with the numerous past battle experiences she was unfazed. However seeing Kurrn, who was easily a greater warrior than Garon especially one on one, cut down so easily did rattle her enough for the thought of retreat to be the best option. Unfortunately for her Ullr knew exactly where she is hidden. Spinning round he pulls her from hiding into the clearing, the Elf attempted to land on her feet but is unsuccessful. Without a chance to stand Ullr launches purple lightning from his hand. The Elf screams in complete agony as she feels lightning corse through her body burning every cell it touches in her body, after a few seconds the screams cease as does the elf''s life. With the last bandit dead Ullr let''s out a sigh as he sheaths his weapon before he turns and look at the wide eyed girl he had rescued. Ullr was extremely surprised by her appearance, during the fight Ullr had not actually properly looked at the girl due to focusing on the fight, and now Ullr subconsciously spoke.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. "Lumia" The girl had the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake, her scales were a dark green colour with hints of blue in it, he hair was the same. She looked quite young, at a guess 13-14 five or take a year, it was hard to say because she was quite thin. Her eyes were green with irises like a snakes, she had a petite nose and her lips were a light pink. Her skin was ever so slightly tanned, giving her a even light bronze colour, her skin looked smooth with very few blemishes but a number of scars were clearly visible. When the girl had heard Ullr speak, it caused her to leave the trance like state where she just stared completely still, she had been like this more or less since the start of the fight. The girl was now flooded with many different emotions both positive and negative about what she had just witnessed, but with all she was feeling one emotion drowned out all the others,fear. She new many hated her race most being from the main races of the world. Hearing the man say ''lumia'' with almost no emotion in his voice terrified her the most. Closing her eyes she curled up as best she could with her injuries and stared crying. Ullr felt deep down he pitied her, despite wanting to just leave something in him wouldn''t let him and pushed him to help her. First he removed his hood and the scarf hiding his face, slowly he approached the girl as he tried to recall his lessons in a few healing techniques, he was never good with healing but he had managed a basic one and one other slightly better. Ullr knelt down in front of the girl, she kept her eyes shut, she still wept but now it was much quieter only an occasional whimper, she had also started to shake in fear when Ullr was right in front of her. Without a word Ullr raised his right hand moving it just above the wound on her arm. Ullr attempted the harder technique knowing the other couldn''t heal a wound like this. As he makes his attempt, his hand gives of a soft light that flickers for a few seconds before vanishing, he was unsuccessful. After a brief pause another attempt was made, this time the light was brighter but still flickered. Believing he was performing everything correctly, Ullr focused on the force hoping to find something. As he started he sensed that he wasn''t including mana, curious to see if it would have an effect he added the mana to the technique. Almost as soon as he included the mana the flickering light around his hand intensified and no longer flickered, and the girls injury started to heal. Seeing the light around his hand Ullr could see it looked and felt different from the one the teacher used during his training with the Order. The intensity was more or less the same but instead of giving of a white light, it now also had strands of blue that circled round his hand, as well as this the wound healed at a much faster rate, only taking a couple of seconds before it closed only leaving a light scar. As the technique was relatively simple even with mana it didn''t completely heal the girls arm, it still would need a few weeks before completely healing. The young lumia had stopped crying when she felt a weird itchy tingling sensation on her injured arm, still shaking slightly she opened her eyes a little, she saw the man was kneeling down just in front of her, his face no longer concealed. Her eyes fully opened when she saw the man. He was not the hideous monster she had imagined while she cried, he was quite handsome and despite two vicious scars, one starting just above the right eye and runs down, just missing his eye, then moving down his cheek and neck stopping at his collar bone, the other from a few centimetres above his Adams apple and runs horizontally across his neck crossing the other scar stopping at the back of his neck. He was in no way a pretty boy, he looked youthful but in no way immature with his week old but tidy facial hair, his sharp features made him look mysterious but also dashing. The two features that stuck out most though, were his slightly pointed ears that made his race a mystery to her and his green and blue eyes intense colour. As she looked at the man''s face studying every detail possible especially his eyes, she realised he wasn''t looking at her and seemed to be concentrating on something else. Looking round to the right she was completely shocked at what she saw, he had his hand just above where she got stabbed and it was surrounded by a soft white glow that was flickering occasionally. It was a beautiful and the tingling sensation felt rather pleasant despite the pain. She assumed it was magic but she had never seen something like it before. The healer in her village was a very proficient with healing spells, able to use a wide variety of them but non were like this and the girl was convinced she hadn''t heard a chant. As she was taking in every detail she saw, the tingling sensation intensified, as it did for the briefest of seconds a small smile appeared on the mans face before just as quickly disappearing. She looked at her arm seeing his hand surrounded by white light with blue streaks in it as well as her wound visibly closing. She would not have believed this if she was not seeing it with her own eyes, healing magic was the rarest kind of magic and from what she knew it wasn''t like this. Now Ullr has healed her as best he could he took out his knife (he got it in the supplies the elves gave him) and cut the ropes that were tied around the girls abdomen. When the girl did not react when he cut the ropes he noticed she was staring at him, this made him uncomfortable so he pulled up his hood and covered his face again. Standing up Ullr walked to the edge of the clearing and retrieved his pack he dropped when he entered. Walking back to the girl he took out some food and his canteen of water and handed them to the still staring girl. "Eat and drink!" The girl glanced at the food with a suspicious look before she took a tentative bite and chew for a few seconds, obviously deciding there''s nothing wrong with it she devoured it like she hadn''t eaten for a week. When she had finished the food she took the canteen and took a long drink before handing it back. Ullr put it away, shut his pack and swung it over his shoulder, then for the first time he heard her speak. "Why?" ****** (Realm of the Gods, Maliketh''s Domain(A.N. God of True Hero''s). Maliketh''s POV) "Hahaha! Finally found someone not trying to kill you and a Lumia girl at that! Hahaha" I am currently sitting on a chair watching the young boy I chose to receive my blessing with the waters of connection. These waters allow you to observe beings the user has made a connection with. Sensing someone entering my domain I break the connection and stand up to receive my guest who then appears a few yards in front of me. "Hello Claire" Claire has an annoyed look. "Maliketh, why are you hiding Ullr''s presence from me?!?" She has a sharp tone to her voice. "It''s nice to see you too Claire. I am doing well thank you, how are you?" I struggle not to laugh when I see a vein popping on her head. "Answer me Maliketh!" Seems she is serious and me winding her up won''t be entertaining. "Fine fine, but first answer two questions, they are relevant. First did you not wonder why summoning him took so much of your power? Second did you inspect his soul?" "I assumed it was because of that girl who got summoned with him and no I didn''t." "I thought so. Sigh, well yes summoning that girl would require more power but not as much as you used. The reason it took so much more power is you summoned him from a different universe than the others, a much older one full of powers unknown to us." Her mouth dropped open for a brief moment before promptly shutting. "Hmmm, that would make sense and explain why he had similar traits to them instead of being human. What about his soul?" Claire seemed to accept what I told her and move on as there is nothing we can do about it anyway. "What I found in his soul is why I am hiding him. Despite having the requirements to be a true hero, he has put up mental barriers and has a deep fear of losing those close to him, during his second life he lost his parents when he was very young, because he never new his parents in his first life he deeply loved his new ones. Losing them and then being constantly told they were evil broke him causing him to put up mental barriers to prevent him getting close to anyone he could lose. He lived like this for years until he met his new teacher, the girl summoned with him. She over the years training him got past some of these barriers, unfortunately causing him subconsciously start to fear losing her. This caused him to push her way as much as he could and eventually run away from her. If as he is now is found, told he is the hero and asked to do all expected of a hero, at best he would run away and push others way from his heart even more" "I didn''t realise, is there anything we can do to help him?" "I have already done what I can." "What did you do?" "Ullr needs to let people get close to him, he needs friends, ones he cares for and maybe love. Once his heart is open again will he be ready. In my blessing I added something to help, I made it so his true feelings in certain situations can be felt, only slightly to start growing as he opens up" "Are you sure that will help?" "I can only hope it will." Reason for absence and future Hey guys, I am sorry for my absense but not long after I posted the last chapter my nan had a stroke and was hopitalised. The doctor said she had one or two months at most. She passed away on the 5th January.Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. As you probably have guessed I didnt feel up to writing for quite a while. I am not sure what to do now hence the poll. If I do carry on I need a proff reader and someone to discuss ideas. I have been writing the next chapter and will post it sometime soon. Sorry again Peace Sorry but... (Please read) Hey guys, Firstly I am sad to say I am no longer able/going to continue this story, The reason being I have lost my inspiration as well as my enthusiasm for this story. Those who read my last post will know I recently lost my Grandmother who I was very close to. She was diagnosed with both dimentia and alsimers roughly 4-5 years ago, as her memory degraded she gradually lost more and more of her memory, this included her memories of me. The one thing she never lost was her love of Star Wars and fantasy stories. I began to tell her made up stories to get closer to her eventually making up this one. With her gone now it''s to hard for me to continue as it reminds me of her too much.You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. I am more than happy if someone would like to take on this story and make it their own. Just send me a message if you want to take it on. For me I might continue/rewrite one of my other fictions I have started, or start a new fiction with a darker theam. Sorry but I hope you understand. Peace
