Dawn- An age of Darkness

"Do we really have to do this, your highness?" A Tall slender man spoke up. He was in a group of ten. The person he spoke to was shorter than the rest: maybe a child?

"It can't be helped. Humans in this era have grown too arrogant. They're trying to recreate what almost destroyed the world three thousand years ago." The boy spoke in a matter-of-fact manner.

"However-" the slender man began but stopped as he noticed something in the distance. "There's someone there." He pointed at the distance. Humans weren't capable of seeing so far away. Humans would see nothing more than mere moving dots in the distance, but these men here weren't humans.

"I'll take care of it." The only girl in the group readied her bow. Her long ears picked up the speed of the wind and she surveyed the whole area in an instant. Half of her face was hidden behind clothing.

"Leave them be. Such is the fate of men. They are powerless yet they challenge the heavens." The boy looked down upon the distance, as if he was looking down on humanity as a whole.

There were two races in existence who thought of themselves as superior to other races. One were the demons while the other, the elves. These gentlemen were elves.

"Unfortunately I don't take orders from you, your highness." The girl flashed a smirk and let loose a volley of arrows. Needless to say every single arrow pierced its target. "And I'll be taking my leave for the moment." She slid down the hill. She didn't mean much disrespect but her act was enough to piss off a certain someone.

The slender man grinned to himself. "I'll lend you a hand." He threw one of his spears in the air like it was a plastic stick.

The boy clicked his tongue. "Suit yourself. But unfortunately I came here on a mission, not to play around." Elves always had a placid look on their faces. But the boy's expression was anything but calm. If someone said, he was angry, that'd be an understatement.

The girl ran quite fast. As she became nothing but a dot in the distance, the men began to move. None of them said anything to the boy. They knew this wasn't the time.

"Just you wait." The boy spat in frustration. I will show you who the real…. The boy didn't say anything and the rest of them followed him. They had a mission to accomplish.

The girl for her part reached a place covered with dead bodies, namely goblins. But there was something else here as well; a human. "Don't die on me now, or I'll look like a fool," she murmured to herself.

She checked the man for injuries. Strangely the man's injuries were already in the process of healing. But it wasn't enough. "It's a waste but I'll give you the herbs. It's not like I'll need these anyway." She dressed the man with herbs. The herbs were rare but not impossible to find. But for an elf to help a man to this extent was truly rare. In fact, normally elves never spoke with royalty let alone commoners from the human race.

She cut the goblin's ears and took their fangs to disguise the situation as a means of robbing. Giving humans the wrong expression that they'd always get help during danger, was a dangerous move after all.

She wanted to help the man to the full extent but her hands were full. "There was supposed to be an angel here, right?" She smiled once again and headed for the distance. "Let's just hope I'll have enough time to check things out for myself." And let's hope that woman wasn't playing tricks with me. She kept her lips pursed and stared dead ahead towards the distant forest.

The girl left the man on the field. But she took measures to prevent more monsters from coming near this spot. "Sorry, but I can't help you any more than that." Of course, she'd done enough so that the man wouldn't die.. But the rest depended on, the man's luck and his resolve to live.
