It was moonless night, when the two ladies across the prairies on the Arabica area, trying to get their way as far as they can from Robusta. Their shadow blends in the darkness of night. With a glimpse, although they’re using traveler’s outfit, everyone can easily see that those two ladies came from a different background. One looks like a lady from a noble born, while the others look like a normal peasant. If they were just running without bringing any belongings, people might think that they’re just on their way to chase some caravan or such. But there is something looks unplaced on those ladies. Both of them are carrying a bundled baby. Two baby girls.
Those two babies didn’t seem too bothered by their carriers, who are running with all their might. They’re sleeping like they were enchanted by a spell. Both of them look the same yet different in a way, one with a black-brownish hair, yet the others brownish-red hair. Looks like they were just born few days ago. An identical yet different color jade necklace was hanging on both of the baby’s neck, a bit loose. One with a green jade pendant, one with a red jade pendant.
“Miss Aaliyah.. I guess, we just escaped from the guards..,” with a panting sound, the peasant lady looked at the noble lady. “I guess so, Shira,” said the noble lady while still trying to observe around. After sure it’s safe, she looks at the baby she’s holding, still sleeping peacefully. “..Is it okay.. If we separate them..? They were twins after all,” she murmured while staring at the sleeping baby on her hand. “It’s the best, Miss Aaliyah. They won’t find it if they were separated..” Shira answered.
Aaliyah just looked at the baby Shira hold on, and softly stroke the baby’s cheek. “My daughters.. I’m sorry.. I have to do this..” with a bit faltered voice. “Don’t worry, Miss Aaliyah. I will take care of Miss Yakira.” Shira tried to answer in confidence to make sure her mistress feel better. Hearing Shira’s words, with a heavy heart, she nods.
“Then.. We shall meet.. 10.. No.. 20 years from now.. On Helionster, Shira..” Aaliyah tried to speak with all her might to sounds strong, but still she ended talk faltered. But Shira understood and she just nods, fastened her hug toward the baby she holds.
“Take care, Miss Aaliyah,” she said with a sad smile. A slight deep bow and she turned her body to face east, and run her might.
Aaliyah can only watch Shira’s figure slowly dissolved by the darkness of the night. And finally, she can’t see Shira’s figure at all, living her alone in the darkness night.

It was raining on Arvandar forest near Eldant that day. It’s like the sky is crying all their might, and spend all of the tears it has and pour it. Although the rain is so hard, somehow there’s a sweet scent of flower around. Where it comes, nobody knows. Only God knows how and why it happens, but it happens. Maybe it can be said that it is fate.
Eillia was just waked up from one of her sleepless night. She can’t sleep well these days. Not after she realized the baby she and her husband waiting for years has died due to her miscarriage. She keeps on crying and blaming herself, and slowly her health has gone from her body. Once she was a healthy and one of the most beautiful elves in the forest where she live. But now, her frustration has leave sadness marks on her once beautiful flawless face.
This morning, she woke up without even understand why she woke up. Looking at the sky, she blamed the rain for disturbing her sleep. Her husband, Ridlar, was not around at that time. Maybe he’s out hunting to find something to eat for both of them.
When she was going to sleep again, she realizes there’s a sweet scent of flower floating in the air. A sweet scent she never smells. And suddenly Eillia heard a faint crying sound. A baby’s cry. At first, she thought it’s just her hallucination, due to her frustration for her miscarriage. But after some few moments, the crying sound didn’t stop. So it might be real. Trying to make sure where is the source of the crying sound, she tried to peak outside.
And there it is.
Under the pouring rain. A baby. Crying hard. Trying to ask for help, with all its might. Beside the baby there’s a body of a human. Looks like a woman. Somehow, she didn’t look moving.
Eillia decided to go near the baby and the woman. Although she is an elf and didn’t like that much to get involved with another races, her healer instinct make her do so. She tried to check on the lady, but it was too late. The lady has died due to exhausted. And somehow, few battle scars on her back.
The baby was not wounded at all. But due to prolonged exposure to rain, the body temperature increase into fever. It might be fatal if not hurriedly cured.
As fast as she can, Eillia brought the baby to her house, and also put the dead lady not far from her house. She tends the baby and found out that it’s a baby girl. On her neck, there’s a red jade necklace with a name written on it: [Yakira]. She took the necklace and try to examine the necklace, and instead found a scribble written on the back of the necklace’s pendant: [May this girl grow into someone who resembles a tiger who can leap anywhere she want with her own strength].
Seeing the sleeping baby who feels safer after tend by Eillia, Eillia can only smiles sadly and suddenly remember her own unborn baby. She hold the baby and think, maybe she is a gift from God to heal her heart from losing her baby. She decides to take the baby and raise the baby as her own daughter.
When Ridlar come back home, he’s shocked to find a baby human at his house. At first he is hesitated not to take the baby. But, after seeing his wife becoming happier after the baby came, he decided to accept the baby as his own daughter.
And so, they name her [Selor], just as the day when she was found, full of flowery scent.
***
The difference of time of human and elves are indeed far. Without even recognizing, when Eillia think it’s just a blink of her eye, Selor has become a grown 17 years old lady. Raised into a girl who loved nature and close to animals which often come by near her house.
Although being a human, doesn't mean she’s weaker than the other elves around her. Thanks to her father’s teachings, she can be the same like the others. Although, still, whatever she does, and how perfect she did it, she will still be different than the others. She’s not an elf.
Her parents also looked by other elves, since they brought and raised a human baby, which is uncommon. But her parents didn't listen to the others and keep raising Selor with love. Eillia didn't mind, since she herself once had a sister who married with a human and move from Arvandar to a small village on the South-East area of Silvarion, living with her human husband and half-elf daughter.
Although she is a human, Selor was raised with a pride of an elf. She even somehow hated human, due to stories she heard from other elves on how human destroys forests and nature. Day by day, those feeling get stronger and in the end makes her think that she hated human. But her parent keep on remind her that hatred can only bring trouble, so she tries to suppress those feelings, but still keep a portion of it on her deepest heart.
On her 17th birthday, Selor has become a grown beautiful lady, which can compete with the beauty of elves. Although she didn’t care about it, but some people do care about it. Somehow few male elves starting to come close to her and few female elves started to act harsh to her. But she didn’t mind, since she already that kind of attitude since she was a kid. One of the male elves who started to come closer to her is Gaelvar Maerntylar, the son of the leader of the elven clan where Selor lives.
Gaelvar Maerntylar was a handsome young male elf. Although he’s the leader’s son, doesn’t mean he’s a snobbish good for nothing guy. His long beautiful blonde hair and slim yet strong and handsome face has smitten a lot of female elves. His ability to archer and to hunt also recognized as one of the best on the clan. Everyone has agree that he will be perfect as the next successor as the clan leader.
At first, no one cares about their relationship. Not even Selor, since she never think of anything romantically. She only cares about her animal friends in the forest, the forest cats. For her, Gaelvar is no more than a childhood friend who she can rely on during hunting. But somehow, day after day, Gaelvar starting to get more and more often getting closer to Selor. And he started to show his affection toward Selor, which makes Gaelvar’s father upset.
Although Selor is a strong lady, and can show that she’s not weaker than the other elves, she’s still a human. Not an elf. Gaelvar’s father wants a perfect elven lady as Gaelvar’s partner in life. And Selor is not in the equation.
And also, the closeness between Gaelvar and Selor starting to bring jealousy toward few female elves on the clan. Once, during a hunting event, few of the female elves tried to get rid of Selor but ended fail. Although, it leaves a wound mark on Selor’s right eye. Selor didn’t care about the accident and keep on continuing her life as it is before.
But that’s not OK for Gaelvar’s father. He asked Ridlar and Eillia to expel Selor from the clan, since she caused problem and might caused even more problem in the future. At first, Eillia was furious about the request and said she didn’t want to do what the clan’s leader said. But Ridlar tried to calm Eillia down and talked the situation to Selor.
At first, Selor didn’t understand the situation. But after explained few times, she finally understands that she must go. Or she might bring trouble to her parents.
So, after having her 19th birthday, she departs from Arvandar forest, and walk toward Helionster. Accompanied by Eillia’s tears, Selor decided to walk out of the forest and go to civilization where she was meant to be. As a human.
Before her leave, Eillia gave her the necklace which was on Selor’s neck when she was a baby. She also gave a journal which was on the dead lady’s bag to Selor. And from the journal, Selor found a name which she decides to be her first point of journey, Golden Wing Guild.
And so, her journey toward civilization starts.

It’s been days from her first steps departing from Arvandar forest. Now, she is in the main city, Helionster. In front of her was a big building, with a name written on it.
[Golden Wings Guild].
While remembering her days on Arvandar forest, Selor closed her eyes. And with a nod, she walks with confidence and entered the guild. A red pendant necklace reflecting sunlight hangs nicely on her neck.
And with this.. Her journey as a human.. Begin..
