After a long journey we finally found a village. Or multiple of them actually.

The environment changed as well, which explained the lack of people. The forest became denser and more dangerous. There weren’t that many big monsters that would have been easy to spot and deal with as there were small and sneaky ones.

It was hard just walking in the forest and we had to be vigilant for any sneak attacks as well. There were some that were camouflaged into the trees and other vegetation and others that were small and quick which made it hard to spot them with all the trees and other things in the way. 

The elf had no problems though, but she never warned us about any dangers. Layla didn’t warn us either. Well that isn’t completely true there was one situation where she saved Ranns life. I was happy to see that. I was also really shocked to see that something that dangerous almost happened. I considered just burning the whole forest down so we could pass safely but that wasn’t a real option.

I suggested that we go back and go around the forest, but everyone was against it. We had come a long way at that point and going back might have been more dangerous.

After that I paid a lot more attention and there was nothing dangerous after that.

I also came to the decision that we need to stop our journey for a while. The others need to get stronger before we continue.

After we got out of the forest, we were relieved and exhausted. It has been a while since I haven’t slept properly during the night. When we go back, we absolutely have to go around the forest.

Or maybe if the others get strong enough then we could go through it again. As long as I can sleep well nothing else matters. Well it is difficult to move in it so it would be best if we could go around but it appears to be a huge forest so I doubt we can go around it.

We will try to go around it if nothing else. It isn’t fun to return the same path we came from after all. Who knows what things we can discover by just changing the path we return by?

Enough about that though. We aren’t going back any time soon after all. Our journey is just beginning after all!

Anyways after we got out of the forest the environment changed drastically. Barely any trees and the grass are multicolored now. It is amazingly beautiful honestly.

I still haven’t gotten enough of seeing it. The ground feels softer too, so it is pleasant to walk on. Or would it be more accurate to say that the grass feels softer.

Also, when we step on the grass it doesn’t stay down or break. It looks as if we didn’t walk on it. I took some of it with us so I can experiment with it. If nothing else, you could make some great baskets or hats with these.

The villages we found belong to elementals. Imagine that. They are the weirdest creatures I have seen in this world since they look like humans, but they can also be immaterial.

The village we are in right now belong to fire elementals. They apparently are in war with the other elementals. I asked what the other elementals are they replied with water, air and earth. It wasn’t a big surprise.

But then they said that there were other kinds as well in the past but they either died out or went into hiding. I am curious on what kind other kinds there are, but we can’t leave and there is a war that we need to take care of.

The villages they have are in pretty horrible state. They are nothing compared to the town of the vampires or even the normal villages that were struggling to survive.

Maybe it is because they are elementals and do not need a place to live as much other people or because the war has ravaged them too hard.

I asked them the reason for this war, and they said that they do not know for sure. They have been fighting each other for so long that the cause has been forgotten. Or rather the war has become the cause for the war.

It is easy to imagine for elementals to go against each other since they are different. I suppose that even in the before forest places the other races fought against each other since they were different. In most cases the wars just ended quickly, and the other side disappeared.
Well most of the times the other side wanted something from the other as well, so it is a bit different.

In this case I can see it being a fight without any real reason.

The dwarf kingdom part one

Tales Upon Tales series       MELISSA´S ARCHWAY 1.     The Dwarf Kingdom. Part one. It is morning! I have waited for this day for a long time and I am finally twenty years old. Now I can leave the village and explore the outside world. I get up from the bed and go downstairs to get breakfast, I see my parents Elina and Gabin and my big sister Amber and big brother Arthur are already at the table eating breakfast. “Good morning!” I say cheerfully. “Gu mornin.” Dad says with a deep voice. “Morning.” Brother says and looks away. “Good morning.” Says my sister with a faint smile. “Good morning dear did you sleep well?” Mother says normally. “Yes of course I did.” I say with a smile. Actually, I was barely able to sleep because I was so excited to start my journey, but I can’t tell them that. They would just lecture me about the importance of sleep during a dangerous journey and how there would be a lot of exciting things that can keep me awake at

Updates and things.

Hello, it has been a while since I just talked, I have been mostly just posted chapters late and that´s it. I have had some troubles with mental things and school, well I mostly failed my summer courses already but I still keep stressing about them so that is pretty problematic. But other than that I am feeling pretty good, I managed to start jogging and well I managed to end that too but I am confident I will start again when my sleep rhythm turns weird again. Firstly, I have been thinking, and checking the earlier chapters of Melissa´s Archway and I have done corrections on the first three chapters and they look a lot different now so check them out if you want but its still pretty much the same. I have been posting them on Wattpad too which is a website I found and it seems interesting, I will still post all the things I write here too but I will also post them on Wattpad after I correct them. If you want to check it out you can go to my twitter and find the link there and I

Made it, but.

I made it and I am glad I did but I was not able to write then individual training chapters this week at all and I am quite sad about that because next week I will focus on the third book and I probably wont have enough time to write them. I will write them at some point but the longer it takes the less relevant they will be and it makes writing them feel less fun. Well at the latest I will write them after I finish the first book of Melissa´s Archway but I will try to find a way to write them earlier.
