Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen, and welcome to my topic! I please want your attention for a little bit. The story you are going to read comes from a work started at late night, the only moment where I can find a bit of time to write something, but this is just a sum up of the entire story I wrote. I had to cut A LOT of it to make it match with the contest requirements (I wrote 15k characters, cause I thought contest asked for 3k words and not characters). I wanted to apologize for the simplicity of the story itself; you may have read such kind of thing a hundred times. And I definitely understand that maybe some parts will not be really clear, but this is due indeed to the 3000 characters limit the contest asks us to respect (For clear reasons, Obviously). I have just read all of the stories before mine, and they just were amazing! This is why I wanted also to enforce my own story by posting on a spoiler how the REAL STORY should have been. I am asking to those who are curious enough to just check the following spoiler, before reading the contest one, and if I managed to make you smile even a bit, It means I reached my main Aim 🙂 The spoiler is not competing for the contest in any way. Its purpose is meant just in case some curious people want to learn more about my story. The character count is: 2986 And here the story which is going to compete for the contest 🙂 Okay guys, another round! My treat! Holy Garahan, Atie! this is my 4th Black Blood Mug tonight! That’s Mence for sure! I would recognize that voice among thousands. My dear Moraktar, so full of lif.. uhm walking creatures! How much time has passed since I left, 5 years? I hope they will recognize me. The rotten air of Moraktar and the way Reims creates Alcohol from Forlorn’s Black Blood have always fascinated me. Hey! Look who’s come! Ladies and Gentlemen, Judge Higgs! Hail oh great knight! Hehe, thank you Reims! I am happy to see you all, guys! I can feel a very warm environment, these people have always been very nice to others. Higgings! I knew you were here! – A mage entered the Tavern few seconds after me Donkor, my friend, what brings you here? – He comes closer to me How can I miss the chance to see my old apprentice back to our Town? But yea there is a reason of why I am here tonight – Continues – I was wondering if you finally found her No, not yet . I realize everyone was looking at us, wondering what we were talking about. Is there something we shall know? - Asks Kaziya I guess you guys deserve an explanation . Donkor refers to my dear lady. Just recently I found out that she has stepped these lands, therefore, I need to find news about her. And how did you meet her, exactly? - Asks Reims I met her centuries ago, when I was alive and served King Rael. Judge Magister Higgings. With me there were 2 more Judges, Judges Orcelius and Marcus. As noblemen of that time, we all were well considered by our King but also by Miriam, The King’s daughter and most beautiful creature of the realm. It was the period during which the opposite Kingdom was threatening us. Days were passing and I received a message from the King . He needed the presence of all Judges to the Throne Hall. He needed us to deliver an important message to the Enemy Messenger, to the frontier; he wanted to avoid the war. We all quickly left the Hall but suddenly I hear a voice: His Majesty was calling me. He warned me and told to be careful of Orcelius and Marcus. He confessed me about suspects he had on those Judges. I prepared my horse and rode to the frontier, but I lost the other Judges on my way. I reached the frontier. Both Judges were there, with the messenger and 4 more soldiers at his side. I hid myself behind a tree, but I could not hear what they were saying. I remember they just left that place after a while, so I just turned back to the castle, suspicious. It was late night when suddenly the Castle Alarm rang; something happened. A soldier ran to my room and told me that King Rael’s life was taken. I ran to the Throne Hall and saw King Rael stabbed on his back. Miriam was at his side, shaking him on the desperate attempt to wake him up without success. I summoned an extraordinary council to decide who could take King Rael’s place. The council decided that Miriam should have been declared as rightful queen of the Kingdom. She had no choice but accept and she wanted me as Court Advisor. Next day a report from our Messenger: Enemy troopers were just few Kilometers away from our castle. Before leaving, Miriam made me promise to come back once the fight ended. When I arrived, it was a bloodshed. Everyone apparently disappeared. suddeny, Someone called me, I turned back and Judge Orcelius was right behind me. He was smiling in a weird way. I felt a sort of pain, and noticed blood flooding down my armor. I touched something like a dagger which pierced my armor, and Orcelius holding it. I fall on the ground and only some minutes later a soldier found me. With all the strength left, I begged the soldier: “Please, Tell her, I am sorry"

Title : Dark Blood in the Veins. Prologue The blood is in the veins that flows infinitely like our lives that will continue on living until we ceased, but what if the blood isn’t flowing the way you knew will it change the life you are living? I am Dar Kazix(Darkazix), a blade dancer elf that lives in the land of Melvendil. The Elder of the Ilhor village raised me. I wonder how I ended up here. Did I really belong to this land? Who are my parents? Will I find the things what I have been looking for? I swear to the Gods of Arinar that I will be stronger to uncover the things that I am missing. Chapter 1: The Truth. The land of Melvendil is vast but they said that there is somewhere far that are greater for what we see in this land, a land surrounding with water, a land of an never ending night and a land in the sky. Elder: “Dar Kazix, I need to talk with you.” Dar: “I need to train more, please later.” Elder: “This is important.” The elder shows a necklace with a green stone pendant. “Darkazix” is engraved at the back of the stone. Elder: “This is with you the day we found you. I think it is time for you to go and find your true identity.” Dar: “Father, But I belonged to the village!” Suddenly a loud scream was heard. A group of wraiths are attacking the village. All the warriors fought and won but unexpectedly the Village Elder was stabbed. Dar: “Father! I’ll stop the bleeding.” Elder: “No, I won’t make it my son. You must go to the Rilhor Village… and talk to Hikki.” Dar: “Father! Father! Nooo!” A day after the Elder’s body was burned, a signed of respect to the elves death. Dar Kazix left the village wearing the green necklace. The journey is indeed long, slaying monster, entering dungeons and crypts. Dar Kazix trained his body to the point that he is ready. Dar Kazix arrived at the Rilhor village and look for Hikki. Her house was a small hut that full of holes. They said she is an alchemist, the holes was made by the explosions of making potions. Dar Kazix shows the necklace to Hikki. Hikki: “How did you get that?” Dar: “I am from Ilhor village.” Hikki: “I see. Go to the forest of dawn get me couple of black dust, and tears of the crying tree.” Dar: “What are these for?” Hikki: “You will know when you got all of it.” Dar Kazix alone go to the forest of dawn a black ghost charge towards him an agile monster that attacking using it's claws, he managed to defeat it and then the black ghost turns to a black dust. The tears of the crying tree can be harvest from a big tree that looks like a face of a lady, Dar Kazix found the tree in the middle of the forest and waited till a tear dropped. He went back to Hikki to give all the things she asked. Dar: “These are the things you asked.” Hikki: “I’ll need time to brew it, please wait outside” After hours of waiting the potion is completed. Hikki asked Darkazix to drink the potion he made. Hikki: “Drink it.” Dar Kazix drank the potion. The necklace shine brightly and he fell asleep. He dreamed about a scene where a lady elf is running with a baby, three elf with fangs and dark gray skin is pursuing her, she reached the front gates of Ilhor, using a special ink she hide the baby by turning it invisible she took the white cloth and run away from the village. In the early morning the elf scouts saw the baby in the gates of the village and called the Elder. Dar Kazix woke up and said. Dar Kazix: “Dark Elves, I need to meet them.” Hikki: “You can't find them easily brave one. Go to the moon harbor and board the ship to the land of the battles of territory - Iselnort you can start from there in order to seek the answers to your questions.” Dar: “Yes I will, and I Dar Kazix will coming for them.” End.
