Chronicles of Moonlight

 

Rating: PG
Genre: Adventure
Setting: all over the place!
Main Characters: Eiko, Elco, Geno, Jet.

Note from the authoress: damn I wish this was real life! I’d love to have this much excitement in my life! But as it is…believe it or not none of this ever actually happened. Despite the fact I’m one of the characters! Btw, for anyone reading this who’s played Sudeki, I’m sorry, but I loved the name Elco for a scientist-type person, which is why he’s in this fic! But it isn’t the Elco from Sudeki, he’s my own personified Elco. Actually, the weaponry in it are similar to Sudeki as well. Lets just say that Sudeki was my starting point for this fic. That didn’t actually make much sense to me, but never mind. I’m gonna stop rambling now and tell you what I wanted to say: this is set in a different world. Not earth, so any scientific theories you find are not necessarily true to earth Scientifics! Thank you, and enjoy the chronicles! oh, yeah, and I’m sorry if I keep going from past to present tense.

 

Chronicle two: Jet

I spent the next few weeks in Adria. The elf who had saved me brought me back there. He had insisted I be nursed back to health. I felt lucky. Had I been left in the woods I probably would have died. I found out more about Jet in my time there. The first perhaps the most important. When I came around, in a bed in a white room, the first living creature I saw was an elf. But it looked nothing like Jet. Its skin was a strange green tone, its hair, although long, was a deep emerald green, as were its eyes. Its ears were pointed and its eyes almond shaped, like Jet’s, but they seemed the only similarities. It was still a human shape, although it was hard to see this, as it stayed crouched low as it moved around.

 

It was a proper elf. I found out that Jet, my rescuer, was only a half elf. His mother had been a human, and the elves had chased her away. I had thought at first Jet had rescued me, because, curled up like I was, with my long hair covering my ears, I may have passed for an elf. But it turned out he rescued me because he had never seen a human woman before, as his mother had been chased away before he had a chance to know her. He had been curious about me. He followed me practically everywhere, always asking me questions about humans. His human side obviously made him this curious, and it was obvious the other elves were angry that he was talking to me. Hatred showed in their eyes whenever he went past. It seemed strange. They hated him for being friends with a human, but they didn’t seem that bothered by the human itself. Perhaps it was because they thought me helpless. My time at Adria is not worth talking about, as it was uneventful. There was not even anything I could use for the article I was supposed to write. The elves seemed very civil, except where Jet was concerned. They hated him because he had human blood in him, he wasn’t a proper elf. Whether they were resentful of him for this fact or not was hard to tell. He didn’t seem to have any friends in Adria. Perhaps the reason he spent so much time with me. I was careful not to mention the reason I had been in the woods, so close to Adria. I was afraid he would hate me if he found out. Eventually I was fully healed, and as I prepared to leave, Jet begged me to let him travel with me. I liked the idea. It would be a good reason to never return to that awful job of mine. I agreed. We had become good friends in the time I had spent in Adria. The people back at the magazine office probably thought I was dead by now, and I didn’t want to return anyway. We were about to leave Adria, when, to my surprise, the leader of the Adria Elves approached me. I could see Jet looking uneasy out of the corner of my eye. The leader insisted that I take Jet with me. Apparently the elves didn’t want him in Adria anymore. I wondered if that was the reason they hadn’t killed me, because they wanted to get rid of Jet.

We travelled quite a way through the woods, in the opposite direction to that of my town. That night we stopped in a small clearing in the woods. I was relieved to see the sky again, after so many weeks covered by leaves. It was a full moon that night. I sat at the foot of the tree, gazing up at the moon. For as long as I could remember I had loved to stare at the full moon. But tonight the calm that usually came over me as I was bathed in the light of full moon was replaced with thoughts buzzing around my mind. I wondered if it was my fault that Jet had been driven from his home, like his mother had before him. If I hadn’t shown up, would he still be there? I also found myself thinking about elves in general. While I was I Adria I felt no hatred to the creatures at all. Was this hatred and fear of elves completely without reason. So there was a war a while ago, why did these fears still remain now? My mind couldn’t dwell on things like that though, it kept coming back to wondering whether it was my fault that Jet had been driven from his home. My ears picked up the sound of someone dropping softly onto the grass beside me. Jet had climbed up the tree I was leaning against, and now he had dropped back to the ground. He stroked my hair softly and whispered softly to me.

“It wasn’t your fault. They’ve been trying to get rid of me for years.” I gave a slight start of surprise. How did he know what I was thinking? He sat down beside me. His words had calmed me a bit. I felt almost relieved knowing that I hadn’t driven him from his home. I curled up next to him, and rested my head on his chest. I closed my eyes, and drifted into a light sleep
