Dear Diary,

by The fire elemental Verfys

Hmmm...i don't even know where to start. Right, maybe I should make an introduction. Not that anyone will read this but i like talking about myself. Don't tell that to other people, I don't want them to ask questions
 
My story is simple. I was born in the Continent of Elements, far away from where I am now. Don't really remember much from my childhood, it was pretty normal. I was raised by my grandpa who died some time ago now. He wasn't nice at all but he taught me how to beat a person with a sword and I think he loved me? One thing I learned from him: You don't have reason, you don't have fight. As for my parents, I never really cared for them. My dad died in some kind of fight and then mom left and was never seen again.
 
I had one thing in my life that I loved: my two childhood friends. I was happy to meet them everyday. Very fun. Until the war started. I saw one laying on the ground during a fight , and later I found out the other died as well not long after. The bastards left me alone. I was upset and everything was boring. Wake up, do jobs for Flegen, and go sleep. And again, Wake up, do jobs for Flegen, and go sleep. I had a normal life but it was just all the same. It was Xantinya's fault. I don't know how to explain but because of that dammed horse my life changed. I liked my home, but i hated how it changed.
 
One morning, I was guarding the prisoners, when they brought in an elf girl. Weird indeed! Her name was Nixie. We became friends because she was funny. She told me stories and made fun of the ugly guards. I was very happy to bring her food everyday. I did not want her to die so I made her a slave on a boat to Radovia. And when we got there we ran. I can't explain why I did that, but I felt that it was right. After all, what did I have to lose? My life? I could beat them all with one hand. I would get hungry but i would do that for Nixie.
 
Nixie is the only friend that I have so I will try to protect her. I don't want to lose her too. She is nice and funny. And don't tell her that, but sometimes smarter than me.
 
Anyways, Nixie did not deserve to be there so I decided to help her. After all, what did I have to lose? My life? I can cut their heads before they count to three. I sometimes miss commarades. They were the ones that helped me and Nixie escape. They convinced the higher guys to make Nixie a slave on a boat that went to recruit more people from Radovia. And so we left the Continentul Elementelor, for the first time in my life.
 
Our destination? Very weird one indeed. Nixie told me once that she wants to meet the other elves from over the seas. We had no other purpose, so why not visit them? It was an amusing trip. The old elf with wings was very interesting. They call her a "Silfida". She told me that Elementals are in the middle of something but she doesn't know what.
 
The trip was a great one but I started to miss my home a bit. So after some time, we went on the way back to the Continent of Elements. But when we got to Radovia, people started to follow us. The idiots did not have any boat going back home, so we hid in the mountains. Nixxie and me dislike people so we stayed there for some time. During the day, we trained and at night Nixie would tell me stories. I learned a lot from her about many things. I loved living with her. I never got bored when she was around.
 
She does complain a lot about her twin brother but I would like to have two Nixies with me. I want to have a nice family like hers,especially if we can fight every day. But I think that a person who loves you is important. For now, it is just Nixie, but maybe later, there will be more. I may even have kids. I promise not to leave them alone.
 
But it is finally time. We are ready to go and leave this place. I love hunting because the meat is fresh and great to eat, even raw, but I want to return home soon. Those fire idiots may be idiots but it is still my home. And they deserve to see the outside world.
 
Dear diary, that is all for today. I will write more soon.
Goodnight!
