Sonlen's Meditation Grounds

Why do I tell you all these things about me? It is because you deserve to know, you deserve to know just as you deserve to live. I will tell you about myself and those around me, my friends, family, and anyone else I deem important for you to know of.

     Where do I begin? I would assume you would want to know of my childhood first. Well I was born in the elven village of Mein.  My parents, Narn and Minora, couldn't have been happier when I was born. I grew a rather normal childhood... for, well, me. I learned many trades, archery and the small practice of magic that we elves use being my favorite, though magic my worst and archery my best. I was never.... like the other children who shunned me and were never interested in the book I was writing or the tree full of Summer Faeries I had discovered one day. In my spare time, unknown to my parents, I practiced my swordsmanship. They always called it the "brute flinging of a piece of metal through the air," though I found it to be a very delicate art. Well, once I had grown I began exploring the world, against my parents wishes of course. When I journeyed into human villages I had to hide my ears as they were pointed, and the humans would have feared me and then so attacked me, being the crude beings that they are, no offense to you of course. One day, I met my truest and closest friend to this day, Kitar, a Forest Spirit who saved my life from an attack of werewolves when I was sleeping.  I asked what I could do in return.  He was rather shy about it but after much prodding I managed to get him to tell me what he wanted, to be free from the tree to which he was bound.  I didn't believe I could do it at first but somehow, I managed to free him. I believe it was through sheer willpower and gratefulness to him for saving my life. He decided to travel with me and we became the best of friends. 

     My closest and first friend since I started to travel, do not demean his loyalty or my blade will part your head from your shoulders! Umm...sorry about that, he means so much to me and if I lost him I swear I would hunt down his killer and cause them to feel ten times more pain than I had ever felt in my life, only then killing them. He is a Tree Spirit whom I have freed from his tree in return for him saving my life, he specifically was bound to an oak tree.

     A 90 year-old dwarf whom I met at the dwarven capitol, he saw his Kings foolishness and decided to travel with me. He didn't trust Mirabella until he found how good her cooking was.

     A dark faerie whose parents were killed by the vampires of Guren; we found her crying on our way through the Ruins and she is now traveling with us.

     My mother, always had her nose in a book when she was growing up, she met my father, Narn, at one hundred three and they were married two years later. this may seem extremely old to you, but as we elves are immortal, unless taken by poison or blade, My mother was actually rather young when married. Her only son, Sonlen Evandar Xiulta, went to explore the world at eighty-three years old. when he, I left, there was much weeping and sadness. She has been killed by the vampires of the Clan of Guren. 

     My father, always extremely adventurous. He could have been the King of the Elven Kingdom, but, as he once told me, he refused the position because, he "didn't want to be stuck in a room with a bunch of multi-millenium old ambassadors." The memory of it still makes me laugh... Well he met my mother at one hundred seven and married her two years later. His son, Sonlen Evandar Xiulta, went to explore the world at eighty-three years, against his, my fathers wishes. He and my mother cried and mourned for I don't know how long. He has been killed by the vampires of the Clan of Guren.

     Not of my story, nor my world, but a good friend indeed. Skylar is 3/4 Cloud Elemental and 1/4 Fire Demon. The first chapter of her life has ended, it can be located by clicking here. The second chapter she has stopped writing, you can see what is there by clicking here. Some of her friends that are of her world include : The Warrior Rose, called Fiore, Lady Lily, and Artemis. (I think Artemis is actually evil now.)

     One day I was walking through the forest around Mein, when I came across a sleeping Sprite, being the foolish boy I was, I decided to capture it. After I had made a net from grass, I attempted to capture the sprite. As I crept up on the small creature, it awoke and began chasing me and shooting it's arrows filled with itching powder, all the while calling me rather vulgar names. When I reached the village in which I lived I had to explain to my parents why I was cover in red blotches and scratching myself intensly.Let's just say I had to bathe in a rather unpleasant liquid for about three hours and was not allowed to stray from the village for two months.
