Chapter 2: Chapter two: Just Once

Days turned to months, and months turned to years and in the sixteenth year, after Kelvin was born, everything seems to be perfect in the Elven land. The used-to-be Elven village has turned into a city, there was more advanced technology than before, and buildings made of glass could be seen at every corner of the city.

Even though the Elven land which is now called the Sparkle City, has changed a lot, there is still a king ruling over them. The name of the king was King Darwin. He has two wives, one who bore him two children and the other who bore him none. Although the King realized later that the children were not of his blood and he had to expel them from the city.

Kevin had grown up as a young teenager in the forest that the wizard had taken him to. Although he would often sneak out of the forest to see what the city looks like, the wizard would stop him before he could go any further.

“How many times do I have to warn you not to go out of the forest, do you want to get killed?” The wizard said as he squeezed Kelvin’s ear as a way of punishing him.

Kevin’s face had gotten red due to the pain he was feeling, he was struggling to get away from the wizard but it was all to no avail.

“I.. I. I’m sorry, I won’t do that again... please let me go, I’m so sorry.” Kevin pleaded.

.....

The wizard paused before letting Kevin leave, he sighed softly and then let go of Kevin’s ears.

“This is the 1000th time you will be pleading that you won’t do that again. But you will still do that same thing tomorrow,” The wizard said. “I don’t know what to do with you anymore.”

“Father, just let me have an excursion around the city for one day, then I’ll come back to the forest. That’s all. I just want to see what the city looks like.” Kevin replied.

The wizard shook his head in disapproval of Kevin’s request and then entered a room where he often mentions Kevin as his workshop. It wasn’t that he did not want Kevin to go outside, he was only trying to keep him safe since he was a human. And if he happens to go out into the city, the elves would quickly notice his human ears and smells. So he wants him to be in the forest till he finds a way of taking him into the city without anyone noticing his smell.

The wizard stood at the entrance of his workshop and called out for the poor boy.

“Kevin, do you want to see the city badly?” The wizard asked.

“Yes, I want to see the city. If you would just allow me to visit it once, I’ll be grateful.” Kevin replied, his eyes full of Hope that maybe the wizard would allow him to go to the city.

“I won’t be able to grant you that request. Practice more of your fighting skills with your brothers, you are so weak than a Baby Elf, I wonder how you’ll be able to survive outside the forest.” The wizard said sadly as he entered his workshop, closing the door behind himself.

“But I’m not... weak.”

Kevin was saddened, he thought that the wizard would give him the chance to go out of the forest but unfortunately, he didn’t.

He then went out of the small house he has been living for the past sixteen years of his life and went to meet his brothers. These brothers were the ones that had rescued him when he was a kid. They were the disciples of the Wizard. It was evening time so the disciples were discussing the things that were happening in the city.

But as the six disciples saw Kevin approaching, they quickly changed their conversation or Kevin would be asking them about the city again. They also want Kevin to go out into the city but they knew he was an abandoned child who could get killed if spotted to be a human.

One of the disciples had gone to approach Kevin as they saw how moody he is.

“Hey boy, is it about the city again?” The disciple named Derek said.

“I’m so bored of my father, why can’t he let me see the city just once? It is just once.” Kevin lamented.

“You need to trust your father, he’s doing this for your good. He’s trying to protect you.” Derek explained. “As you can see, we are all elves, including your father. A mistake occurred during your birth and you became a human. Your father had to hide you away from all other elves or you might have been killed.”

While Derek was busy talking to Kevin, another disciple approached them with a bow and arrow.

“Kevin, it’s time for your training. You need to get stronger than you are, or you might not see the city you always long for again.” The disciple called Bona said.

Kevin sighed heavily before receiving the bow and arrow and then followed after Bona.
