My Triling System

Chapter 4: Chapter Four: Wounded

“How many times do I have to tell you that you can’t go out of the forest!” The wizard shouted so loud that his disciples started running in.

“Why? is it a crime to be born a human?” Kevin said amidst tears.

“Yes, it is, to other elves. Your presence as a human is a threat to other elves. You must not be seen among all other elves or you’ll be killed instantly.” The wizard said as he motioned his hands through the hair of his head. This was a sign that he was getting angry.

“Can’t anything be done? Can’t I be magically turned into an Elf?” Kevin asked.

“I’ve not yet found a solution to this, just keep on training till I find the solution, is that hard to do?”

Kevin stared at the wizard with watery eyes before rushing into the wizard’s workshop.

“I hate you,” Kevin said as he locked the door of the workshop behind him, leaving the wizard and his disciples speechless.

.....

“Master, what should we do?” Bona asked feeling sad for the poor human boy. It seems like he was hurting a lot for being weak and unable to join other elves or humans. Bona had suggested for the Wizard take the human boy to live with other Humans but the wizard would always refuse. He would often say that Kevin is not a human but an elf who is yet to become an elf.

He mentioned something about Kevin’s aura, that they were the color green, an elf’s aura color. And the amount of yellow aura that was in his body is just a little, meaning that his body consists of mainly elven traits and only a little bit of human traits could be seen in him.

Bona repeated the question; “Master, are we taking him to the Human’s land then?”

“I said No. No matter how many times you ask that my answer will always be No!” The wizard replied before storming out of the forest house. A few of the disciples followed after him while the others were staying close to the door of the workshop in case Kevin finally opens the door.

As soon as Kevin got into the workshop, he wanted to leave instantly but felt like he might not be able to see this again once he gets out of the room, so he locked the door behind himself and started looking around. The wizard’s workshop was full of several magical stuff and elixirs. On the top of a table was a magic book where several teachings of magic were written. In the book are remedies to all kinds of problems, so Kevin started looking through the pages of the book to see if he could find a solution to the problem he was having. His weak body and the human physique.

He looked through all the pages of the book but there was nothing that mentions or points to his weakness and type of problem. He tossed the book over to a side and almost slammed his fist on the mirror that was in front of him but something caught his attention. It was a ring, a golden ring having a strange design drawn on it.

He picked up the ring and brought it closer to his face for further examination.

“This ring looks so beautiful to be placed in a place like this,” Kevin said as he slowly fixated the golden ring into his hands. “Why put it on the table when it’s meant to be worn on the hands.”

“Arghhh.” Kevin groaned in pain as he realized that he was putting on the ring on one of the fingers that was hurt earlier while he fell down the cliff. Blood had started coming out of his left middle finger and had dropped off the ring.

Kevin tried to stop his fingers from bleeding but surprisingly, he saw that it was already healing by themselves. The blood was being sucked by the golden ring that was on Kevin’s middle finger. Not only that but all other wounds that Kevin had were starting to get healed and as his blood was being sucked by the ring, it kept on glowing brightly.

It glowed so brightly that Kevin wasn’t able to see anything due to how bright the ring was glowing. But it had abruptly stopped glowing and Kevin suddenly started feeling dizzy that he collapsed on the floor, all weak and tired.
