A faeries Love, Samuel Plahetka [top business books of all time .TXT] 📗

Introduction

Before we start the story, let’s learn a little more about the world A Faeries Love takes place in and a little bit of its history, past, present and future. Most of what I will talk about here isn’t directly connected to the story, and if you don’t want to read this part, feel free to skip it.

A Faeries Love takes place on a world that will eventually become known as Thorn. Thorn is nestled in the middle of a nebula that obscures its light and keeps it hidden quite far into the future. As a consequence of this, very few stars shine in the night of thorn. Because of this, even though Thorn is the second oldest planet of the seven original founding members of the planetary conglomerate, it’s the only planet that never created spaceships. They use an alternative form of travel that will be explained in a different novel.

The first intelligent species of Thorn was the elves, descended from one of the species of fish that first crawled out of the oceans and could breathe oxygen and also had gills for breathing water. Much later, humans arrived on Thorn accidentally by the same method that the modern inhabitants of Thorn use to travel to different places in the galaxy.

At first the humans and elves lived peacefully, but as time went on, the humans started to take over the areas elves considered there lands, strip mining and clear cutting forests and driving the elves from these lands. This started a series of wars, the first of which drove many humans back to earth and caused the elves to destroy the means which the humans used to travel to Thorn, ceasing the invasion of humans to their world and causing Earth to have no knowledge of Thorn as a planet till what we would consider the near future.

The second war set which parts of the world belonged to the elves and which belonged to the humans. At this point in history one of the races decided to destroy the other completely and created a biological weapon which was meant to destroy the other race, but instead there was a disaster. A variety of rose that grew near the site of the disaster was biologically changed and the pollen from the species caused a severe allergic type reaction in any elves that it came in contact with and changed their genetic code, forcing them to become Goblins, but unlike the Goblins you would be familiar with, these were much more like elves, taller with pointed ears and armor and a tendency to be very skilled with magic, and with a much meaner disposition. At this point in time, a large group of elves, fearing this magical blight, fled to the first moon of Thorn and magically blocked access to this moon to everyone. On the planet Thorn, most elves were changed into goblins before they were able to contain and eventually eradicate the plants involved. The elves retreated deep into their territory and the humans and goblins eventually waged war, the first goblin Human war. One of the consequences of this war was wide spread enslavement of goblins, under the guise that they were too dangerous to be left to themselves.

With the majority of goblins enslaved by humans, they bred them into a not as aggressive species. Some goblin communities survived independent of this slavery and some lived near their elven cousins, though these goblins never knew what had happened to their brethren outside the elven lands. Eventually as the elves rebuilt their kingdom and their numbers, their learned about the mistreatment of the goblins and started the third human elven war. The consequence of this war was the end of war event, where everyone, elf, human, and goblin not involved in the fighting, formed the army of peace and forced a non-violent peace throughout the world of Thorn.

After this point, many sporting events became very popular and took the place of fighting to settle differences between any races and nations. One of the most popular was a version of baseball played across a large planet wide league.

It was some time after this event that the planet of Thorn discovered a human colony on a world other then earth and became involved in politics in the galaxy and helped become the stabilizing influence among the planets of the conglomerate, leading to the peace that existed.

A Faeries Love takes place after the second elven human war but before the first goblin human war.

A Faeries love

By Samuel Plahetka

Evelyn sat in the dirt. She was watching a red haired boy with a bat standing about fifty feet away looking around. He kept looking between the buildings. He ran over to Evelyn.

“They should be here by now. If it takes much longer, we’ll go somewhere you’d like instead, maybe the park to play,” he said. He was twice as big as Evelyn was.

“I’d rather have ice cream. But,” she picked up some dirt between her hands and let it fall to the ground, “Won’t they get in trouble if we leave and they show up Saliwyn? Daddy said if anyone was here to play we had to be with them?” Saliwyn smiled at her.

“I’m glad you remembered what father said little sister. You’re right. Hopefully they won’t take too long.” Saliwyn looked over and saw someone coming into the field.

“That’s better. Don’t worry, we won’t take all day,” he said.

“That’s okay, I like watching you play,” Evelyn said and smiled at her brother. He ran over to his friends coming onto the field.

“What took you all so long?” he asked.

“We had to gather the entire team, And Uessi got stuck watching his little sister, Eadalla,” The boy said, casting his gaze upwards.

“Don’t worry about it, she can watch with Evelyn. They look about the same age. Hurry up and set up the field.” He said. The boys flapped their wings furiously, but they didn’t lift into the air.

“Stop that, you’re just kicking dirt into the air,” he shouted after them, and then turned to the little girl.

“My little sister is over there; you two can watch the game and play until we are done. Go say hello,” he said, and then flew out to where the other boys were setting up. Eadalla walked over to Evelyn and sat down next to her.

“Hi, I’m Eadalla,” she said. “I’m Uessi’s little sister.”

“I’m Evelyn. Which one is Uessi?” she said looking out at the boys. Saliwyn was walking around the bases the other boys had put down, carefully counting his steps. Another boy followed him.

“The one following the boy counting the steps,” she said. “Have you seen this game before?”

“A few times. It’s exciting, watching them try to hit the ball as far as they can,” Evelyn said.

“I’ve only watched them practice. My brother said today he’s going to hit a homerun further then Saliwyn.”

“That’s my brother,” Evelyn said and giggled, “He always wants to win.” Eadalla giggled too.

“Mine too. He’s been talking about hitting the ball more and further then your brother all week,” Eadalla said. She looked out and saw all the boys lining up in the field and by the batter. She leaned over to Evelyn’s ear.

“Can I tell you a secret?” she said. Evelyn felt something in her stomach, a nervous type of feeling.

“Yes,” she whispered back.

“I only wanted to come watch them play because I was hoping you would be here,” Eadalla said. Evelyn turned to her and gave her a quizzical look.

“You’re not one of those noble watchers are you?” She asked. Evelyn thought back to when she started school and the faerie boy used to follow her to school, asking her questions about such as ‘How does it feel to be a noble?’

“You’re a noble? I didn’t even know,” she said. “But why should that matter? Nobles aren’t in power. They haven’t been for a long time. No, I saw you in school. In the lunch area. I…” Eadalla paused for a second and looked around at everyone playing. The boys were standing around the field at the bases and Saliwyn was throwing the ball towards a boy with a bat.

“From the first time I saw you I thought you were cute. I’ve been wanting to talk to you for a while. But the time was never right. Either you were eating, or talking to friends, or something and I always chickened out.”

“Cute? But my hair is such a flat brownish color. Your hair is much better, like the golden rays of the sun,” Evelyn said. She saw something in Eadalla’s eyes, a look that she didn’t see very often. She saw that look in her parents eyes sometimes when they looked at each other, and her brother had started getting that look for some of the girls she would see him talking to when he thought no one was watching him. She wrinkled her nose a little, realizing that wasn’t what she had wanted to say. Eadalla let out a sigh.

“I guess I shouldn’t have said anything,” Eadalla said and looked downwards. She looked a little sad. Evelyn felt a little ping somewhere inside her that started to grow outward.

“Don’t do that,” Evelyn said and put her finger under Eadalla’s chin and lifted her eyes back to meet hers. “Look, there’s an old brick wall near where I that belongs to no one. Do you know it?” Evelyn asked. Eadalla nodded. “Ok, let’s meet there tonight and finish this chat. I don’t really want an audience for this, even if they aren’t paying attention.” Eadalla looked over at the boys playing in the field. They were still fixated on the game and not paying attention. Eadalla leaned over and gave Evelyn a short kiss on her lips.

“Ok, tonight then, right after the sun goes down,” she said.

Neither of them had seen Saliwyn watching them from the corner of his eye as he had prepared to throw the ball.

Saliwyn carried his bat over his shoulder as he walked down the street. Evelyn walked down the street behind him somewhat, a little further back. He was whistling a little.

“Did you see me hit the ball further then Eadalla’s brother? It was awesome. He grumbled at me a little, but we talked some and he isn’t mad.” Saliwyn said. Evelyn barely noticed, her eyes were a million miles away.

Saliwyn stopped mid-step and turned around. Evelyn bumped into him, not noticing he had stopped. She looked up at him.

“Hey, what’s this about,” she said. Saliwyn looked down at her slightly.

“We need to talk for a minute,” he said. Evelyn groaned a little. She wasn’t sure what her brother meant to say, but it couldn’t have been good.

“Do you remember a few years ago when I disappeared one night and dad left to gout looking for me?” He said. Evelyn nodded. She remembered. It was way past her bedtime, but she had been woken up by her parent’s talking, saying that he wasn’t in his bed. Her dad had left to go find him.

“What you don’t know is dad and a guard had found me in an embarrassing situation with a girl. She was really upset at me and stopped talking to me after that. You don’t really want that to happen to Eadalla, do you?” he asked. Evelyn’s cheeks blushed a little. Had he heard them talking while they played their game? Was he going to try to stop her?

“I get that you’re concerned, but I’m not a little girl anymore. I’m just a few years younger then you. I don’t really know what’s happening,” Evelyn’s eyes met her brothers, “but I do know I haven’t really felt the way that dad said I would when he had that talk with me. And I don’t know if this has
