Chapter 32 - The saga of zoltrak from legends

The elven legend 

Long long time ago ....

Beyond the age of humans

In a forest which was stretching endlessly and was visible beyond horizon as far as a eye could see.

This was a time when humans were and other species hadn't mastered craft of civilization and were still in their animal forms.

During that time the species which had a breakthrough were the elves.

As the elves were first in forming civilization of their own other than humans.

This age of elves is called the age of beginning in elven history.

...

Sky was full of black clouds enloping whole forest into dark and lightening strikes could been seen and heard throughout all of the forest making the atmosphere of the forest more cold then ever .

With the rain of this intensity all of activities of forest had stopped.

Same could been spoken for elfida clan which was elven tribe located at the edge of this forest near a river.

In one of the mudhouse there was a screaming of woman and a anxious trotting of an elf male and voices of a birthmaids working .

Soon the voice of crying of the woman stopped the man who was anxious more than ever went into the second room of house.

There he found the birth maid holding a baby which was crying very softly and the women who had given birth was sleeping due to exhaustion.

Birthmaid seeing the father enter smiled and spoke.

"Jagër look your wife has borne a son

Congratulations to you!"

"Here jagër hold him and give him a name of its own."

The lady spoke as she give the child to the father.

"Thank you chief lady, for helping us out during even this storm."

Spoke jagër as he holded the baby wrapped in cloth as softly as he could as he looked towards open door where heavy rain with thunder was still on going.

"Also thankyou to our neighbours for helping us out." Jagër spoke looking towards other two elf women standing.

"It's okay it was our duty to help ladies out in tribes."spoke one of the elf women.

"Well you should not just thank us but give this boy of yours a name already."

Head lady spoke.

"Well according to traditions you have to give him a name before your wife wakes up."

"Yes madam I am hurrying up."

"What about jöhn?"

"We already have four boys named that already in our Village don't you remember?"

"Oh I am sorry madam , then what about other names like jagër?"

"That name is already yours idiot! Can't you men always have some naming sense?my husband was same like you just can't able to come up with a damn single name."

"Sorry sorry my bad my bad," jagër spoke as he was holding as baby.

He then took him to entrance room of the house where still cold air was entering due to rain.

Concerned that his baby would get a cold . Jagër started fire ball spell to keep the room warm.

The room due to small fireball brightened slighty in light and warmth in the room increased.

Jagër was still holding his baby as he was thinking very hardly.

Outside rain and storm were also intensefying very fast.

Soon a loud thundercrack was heard with a very bright light enveloping whole area around the forest.

Concerned the birth ladies camed into the room and saw the child was safe so they felt relieved.

They took the child from jagër's hand into their own.

Jagër was quiet for sometime as he saw the lighting which had fallen not quite far away from their house the lighting had burnt all the grass and shrubs nearby to pulp and blackened all the area.

Looking at this jagër's blue eyes brightened and there was a slight smile on his face.

He looked towards his baby and spoke

"Zoltrak"

"This child's name is zoltrak"

"Similar to fire which strikes from the above."

"My child's name would be zoltrak."

"Zoltrak jagër elfrinsta "

...

Soon some time passed well that means decades passed in human years.

Afterall elves live longer than humans therefore their growth of bodies is also slower.

Zoltrak who was baby was now all grown up well he was now a child entering his teen years of we look it from human perspective.

Zoltrak although was a male but his face was built like a beauty queen and on top of that he had smooth long silky hair and a nymph like face with blue azure eyes which were different from elves whom had green eyes or light blue eyes.

Due to his appearance being so different from others and looking so different from other kids he was shunned from Village kids who teased him always all the time for his looks.

Due to which he spent his time alone all the time and during that time he spent his time alone roaming in forest nearby and using his magic all the time.

Zoltrak had learnt magic quiet early during his early childhood years from his father jagër compared to his peers he had learnt magic quiet early.

So early in fact that when the his peers were learning to walk and run and speak during that time he had already learnt to cast 'breeze' from his father.

Which caused his father to showoff in front of his friends about zoltrak for quiet some time.

Although from perspective of zoltrak's parents zoltrak always went into just nearby forest to play.

But they were wrong.

Zoltrak for many years since was able to went to play in the forest so he knew about terrain of the forest.

Due to which he had found safespots from uninvited guests of the forest.

Where on this place zoltrak would try his hands on magic and try out his spells.

Which he had invented by himself.

Yes, invented not discovered.

During this era elves themselves were not fully civilized as hunter gatherer culture was still in majority and farming was still on sidelines.

And also the potential of magic was also not fully unleashed .

As elves only were proficient in wind majorly and in rare case there were elves with fire magic but they were rare among elves.

But zoltrak unlike other elves who used their spells to hunt and gather he used his magic to learn more and more about magic...

It is said that zoltrak was blessed with divine power of wind...

...

"Well this dude's zoltrak's story is much like a hero story like, seriously who learns magic in their infanthood?"

Asked zohan.

Unless this dude 'zoltrak' is much like an reincarnator myself or some sort of M.C from his novel story this type of stuff is impossible for a kid thought zohann.

To keep conversation going zohan asked sirius another question.

"Well you seemed to know very much about this elf guy called zoltrak "asked zohan to sirius.

Sirius who was stretching his body lazily spoke unhurriedly

"Well please don't underestimate a person who is living for thousands of years this zoltrak is very important figure you know?"

"Then tell me what had he done?" Asked zohan.

"You will know sooner kid,just shut up and listen to me"

"Well Sirius you were saying that you lived for thousands of years but can you tell me for how many years exactly?"

On this question Sirius paused and thought seriously.

Well,well a big number is coming soon which would be impossible for creatures on earth to live he thought .

"Well to be exact I am myself not sure because I myself stopped counting after my thousand year was over."

"What! Seriously?" This time zohann's mouth was agape.

What does it means stopped counting after a thousand years?

The most zohan was expecting was a five hundred years .
