Role

Chapter 1


The Beginning, Part I: The Raid
Added Wed Apr 20 13:27:31 2022 at level 21:

Tomias Jensin frowned. "Mr. Hummingbird, you are my only friend!"

The tiny hummingbird fluttered about the tall grass, then hovered before
the half-drow boy's frown.

"Everyone hates me. But Lily... well she doesn't even notice me!" The boy
grabbed a small rock and threw it at a nearby tree in frustration.

The tiny hummingbird fluttered downward and landed upon the boy's knee,
and tilted its head.

"It's no fair. Everyone has it so much easier. I'm not allowed to do
anything! And even if I was, no one wants me near them. I wish I looked
more like Gramps and Gran."

The tiny hummingbird returned a sad chirp, then hopped to the boy's other
knee, his dark skin shining light in the sunshine.

"Gran says I'm special. But Gramps says I'm a..."

"Bloody darkbreed!" There was Gramps now. "Best you accept it and get
over it, for the millionth time. Now leave them birds be and come in
for supper. Granny is ready for the bless-"

FOP!

FOP!

Twin arrows were suddenly planted atop the thatch roof of the barn,
flames growing at their base!

FOP! FOP! FOP! Arrow after arrow landed all around.

Gran came rushing out of the house. "What's happening??"

"Go!" Gramps yelled as he swung open the gate and ushered the three
down the path toward the river. But it wasn't very far before they
were greeted by a small company of armored dark-elves. A tall female,
silver hair tied in a band across her left shoulder, sauntered toward
them from the back of the crowd, grinning.

But before she could speak, screams of anguish and terror raised
behind her. A flash of fur and gnashing teeth ravaged through the
company, ripping apart the soldiers one after the other.

"NO!!!" the female screamed, face flush with fury. She quickly
drew a horn to her mouth, and blew out an ominous tone that echoed
through the riverside. She drew her sword, then faced down the terrible
dire wolf that was suddenly prowling before her. The beast swiftly
charged at her, and just as she raised her sword, leapt right past her
and locked eyes with Tomias! Before the boy could scream, the wolf's
form flickered and blurred into a giant condor, and its thick talons
clutched the boy's arms and lifted him up, up, up into the sky. A
wave of arrows followed in futility from below.

Soon the giant bird set the boy down before a cliffside cave. The
condor stood on the edge, spread its wings wide, then magically
flickered into a humanoid form. When it turned to face Tomias, the
boy saw another dark-elf, clad in bleached and cracked leather armor
and adorned with mystical jewels. Long silver hair danced wildly
behind him in the mountainside wind.

"Well, lad," said the drow, "I guess we'll be speaking to each
other properly now."

The boy backed away from him, edging toward the cliffside. "Who are you??"

The drow smiled mischievously. "You know me as Mr. Hummingbird.
But... I know you as my son."
