I am new to this kinda stuff. So, if I seem a little out there I would like to say sorry. I would like to say that I Hope you enjoy this character. This is a pretty long intro but I think that it is well worth the time to read. Friends There are few things in this life that I really tresure. But, of all that I have and I had the one thing that I really treasure the most is friends. With me it is like a friend is actualy part of me. In reality I believe that a friend is part of me, because, when I make a friend it is like I am giving them a piece of my heart, apart of my heart. When I was young I had my brother and my friends and we ran around in the woods. We went to training sessions and everything together. We grew up of course and moved away. I lost part of me with the loss of my friends. Now, I think that it is getting hard for me to meet people. When I see someone that is getting to be too close I get on edge. I dont know if it is me not wanting to get hurt or if it is that I dont want to hurt but whatever it is it is making me a harder person. I cant say that I like it but it is happening. Prelude Tylya watched as Joshua practiced his forms. Fluent and graceful, almost like the wind blowing easily through the trees. Tylya mused," funny I never thought such a child could be so.. so.." "Agile?" Grendel finished for her, and made her jump nearly through the trees. She hated him for being so dog gone quite."Yes that he be. No doubting that." "Well I don't know who is going home with the faster haertbeat, Josh or me." Tylya replied, still tring to tell her heart that the throat is not the correct location for it."Will he be able to go out on his own soon? You know that he still wants to find his father?" "To tell the truth he has been ready for some time. He is the one who chooses to stay." Grendel's frown was there but for just a second or was that just the lights playing on his face. Grendel was a man of few words and if he was every happy or mad he showed it like a stone would."This boy of yours is already my equal with swords. He can split a flys hair at 100 ft. with a bow. His powers have far surpased anyone with in a weeks journey from here. Yet he still thinks he has not what he needs to go out in the world." This sting of words coming from him was a shock in itself and threw Tylya off her course for a second. She recovered quickly though and and asked "is he still worried how people will react when they see him?" "That I am afraid will be something he will never stop worring about. For an Elf with Wings is a sight that even I am not complete sure I believe. And I am the one who trained him to be able to protect himself from the people who will surely try to kill him for his diffrences." " I just wish he would give up this notion of finding his father." " Well the boy is full of questions about himself. He needs to find out. It is better that we knew of his intentions and were able to help him. Rather than let the boy go out in blind ignorance. He would have been lucky to make it a year if he did." Tylya was not comfortable with this. She was hoping Grendel would help her to persuade Joshua to stay at home."I dont want my youngest son to go out and get himself killed. He his likely to just walk up to someone in a bar and blurt out that he is looking for his dad. Who it just happens is a great white dragon." Grendel is a very measured man and likes to think that nothing gets to him. Yet, he can not help but to fidget everytime he remebers that one single fact about his favorite student. " Well the boy has made up his mind and that is that." Grendel said with such an air of finality that Tylya could not do anything but let it drop. * * * * * * * * * * As Joshua started out everything was great. He even got a nick-name. He was known for all his great deeds so people started to call him "White Knight". Life was great for the most part. Then when he finaly crossed the boarder to the next land it was as if he just crossed a line between good and bad. Everywhere he went they still called him White Knight but they called him a freak, and chased him away. Chapter 1 "Intro" To anyone who took the time to look up they would have seen a small figure sweeping a large circle around the Inn. But, most of the people in the small town had more important things to than to star gaze in the middle of the afternoon. "The Inn looks so nice from 1000 feet up.But, will this just be another Erinsville?" White Knoght thought to him self as he gently glided a wide circle around the Inn. "They always called me White Knight. Why they could not call me Joshua I will never understand. I never hurt anyone that did not deserve it. All they look at is the outside and see an elf With wings and think I am a freak.So, that means that I am evil. but all I did was check the man to see if he was hidding something from me. How was I to know that just becuase I probed his mind that he would get that flustered." "Boy, did that ever get messy." White Knight mused. "Well, there is noting left for me to do but try," White knight concluded. He found a clearing about 1 mile out of town and landed. He wondered if he should hide his wings and put a shield around him to protect himself from the people of this town. "No I will not cover who or what I am. If I can not be what I am then this is not the place for me. But, I will keep everything handy." He checked his pack for his stones. He made sure his quiver was in hands reach with his bow. Finally he checked his swords to make sure they were all in reach but out of the way of one another. Each and every one of these were gifts from people who he helped and each one whith there one special magic on them. "Well I could doddle for the rest of my life, but, that gets me no closer to my dad." He reminded himself as he started on the trail that would lead him to this new town. This new adventure. His walk is gracrful like a cat and smoth as a mountain lake in the absence of wind. Just to watch him walk should tell you of his prowness. As he got close to the city limits he noticed no one realy paid much attention to him at all."Can I hope to dream that this place is as I was. Can it be true that I am entering a place where no one pays me no more head than if I was just another part of the town." A single tear made a track down his cheek. "How long has it been since I was accepted for me and nothing else." He gave himself a mental shake "NO! I can not hope yet. It could just be that they are just too busy to notice yet." He came to notice that people were looking at him but just to have a look at this newcomer to there town. Not the look of fear or hate. Just a curious glance and that is realy all. With each step closer his steps were a little lighter and a spring was actually entered in his step. He finally entered the Inn when there was still a couple of hours left buefore dusk, and goes to the bar. After a while of talking to the bartender, which he finds out is named Hugh, he finds out that they have seen just about everything from haflings to red dragons. " HOPE BEYOND HOPE! Maybe I can find my dad here." He thinks to himself. After talking with Hugh for a little while longer he finds out that there have been no sightings of a white dragon at the Inn but he has heard of some a little ways off. Hugh also tells him that the road there is rough and dangerous. He would not advise going it alone. " Well it is a lead I have found nowhere else." White Knight muttered under his breath. " So, can you help me find some people to take this trip." Hugh told him that he could only ask and let him know what he found out. Hugh instructed him that he could ask around and find out if anyone was intrested in going. " There are usualy alot of hearty adventures ready for some fun on the trails." So tentatively Joshua walks around to see if he can find a group of adventures to help him find his dad. ************************************************************* To everyone out there if you would like to become part I would love it greatly. and apreciate the critque of this msg plz post or email me about it.
