Dimitri ran through the forest his father by his side with a bow and arrow. Snow covered the ground, as they ran ontop of it with out making a single impression on the snow. The very young Dimitri stopped and looked around he aw a deer. His father stopped and handed the bow an a arrow to Dimitri "alright. take aim remember to take your time. Do not rush the kill." Dimitri pulled the bow string back and took aim.
He let the arrow fly true, the arrow hit the deer directly in the heart.

A few hours later Dimitri walked into the kitchen and ran and hugged the tall brown haired woman. "Hi Mom." Dimitri said with a smile. The woman smiled down at him "How was your day today honey?" Dimitri started to wash his hands "Good Dad and I got dinner. Deer." He laughs and runs out of the kitchen and into the living room. His Father looked up from the book he was reading and nodded to him.

Dimitri then sat down by the fire and began to make stone move and make them change shapes. His father taught him the basics of earth magic. Dimitri would enjoy doing this for hours upon hours on end. After a year of this paradise as Dimitri saw it as his father went to war but didnt return. His body was lost in the battle, Dimitri then joined the army to follow in his father's footsteps but not die. As soon as he joined there was another war started. He fought it lost many close friends, but returned home to his mother who became very sick.

As he was caring for his sick mother Dimitri's close friend Elrohir knocked on the door. Dimitri answered it and saw the elf in full battle gear with a sad look on his face. "Damn...I just got home. My mother is sick." Dimitri said angrily. But ran back to his mother's room. "Honey. Go protect Azilla as the best you can." His mother said weakly. "but.." She looked at him sternly.

Dimitri within the next week was marching through the swamps going into another war. But this war would last for a few years his mother would die and Dimitri could not return to attend the funeral. When he returned home again he was left everything his parents had. Dimitri didnt want it, but he took it. The only thing he wanted was a young Wyvern he named Tel. Then for the next couple of years it was peaceful no wars.

As soon as he returned home from the war he went to the Earth school. This school trained elves in the way of the earth. How to move and fight with it. His teacher was Aenir, a master of this magic. One such moment he challenged Dimitri to a duel.

"Dimitri Locherin how about a quick spar. To start off the day." Dimitri was not one to back away from a challenge nodded and prepared to cast.

Aenir smiled and was swallowed by the ground. Dimitri looked around and raised the ground he was standing on making it hover above the ground. When the piece of dirt he was standing on began to dissolve and Dimitri jumped and rolled on the ground looking around. Aenir sprang from the ground sending fist sized rocks at his opponent.

Dimitri brought up a small wall of stone stopping the assault and sinks into the ground himself. Aenir watched and threw the small wall to the side. but did not see Dimitri there. He smiled and began to watch the ground around him. Aenir frowned and the ground shook as he raised everything he could see. Dimitri dropped down with three golems surrounding the teacher.

The teacher smirked. "good job Dimitri but you have yet to win." He spun around and three of his own golems sprang from the ground and attacked Dimitri's. Aenir ran at the young Half-elf and began to attack him with spikes of earth springing from the ground. Dimitri dodged them sending his own spikes of death at his teacher. Aenir easily moved out of the way now sending large boulders at his student.

Dimitri dove to the right he was getting tired fast he couldnt keep dodging forever. He began stopping the boulders and sending them to the side. Aenir grinned and sent a rock the size of a two story building at Dimitri. who raised both hands into the air to stop it. The boulder halted in midair it shaking from the pressure from both sides. It began to moves slowly toward Dimitri he was losing this fight quickly. One of his golems ran at Aenir but began to slowly turn to dust as he couldnt concentrate to keep it together. Suddenly the large boulder came crashing down hitting Dimitri head on he blacked out.

He awoke some time later in a hospital.

After months of training with earth magic there was another war started. THis time with Nyadds, These creatures are giant humanoid looking lizards. That live in the swamps bordering Azilla, Their scales are stronger than mithril and their only weak spot are their throats. If you cut them they will go down quickly. One of the reasons why these creatures are so amazing. Is that they can conceal themselves under ankle deep water.

Their swords have acid on them that burn through skin and make it impossible to heal. No matter how strong the healer was. The warriors would keep their kill's part of the skin as a trophy. Dimitri hated fighting these lizards because ambush was their main way of fighting. Ambush and disappear.

But this time they came into Azillian ground and attacked the city itself. The lush green forest that bordered the swamp was now murky and the stench was horrid. There was a green mist that seemed to fill your lungs with garbage and make it hard to breath. But Dimitri had to follow orders even it ment death, his part of the army was marching from the mountain side of the swamp to hit the Nyadds on their flank.

But things didnt work out as they had planned.

Dimitri ran through the swamp away from the battle as well with the rest of the elves around him. Ambush Nyadds were springing out of the ground and killing elves. Suddenly there was a searing pain across his back. Dimitri turned and saw the large creature his blade had a piece of DImitri's flesh hanging off of it.

The acid from the blade burned his back badly but he ignored it and ran. Elrohir Dimitri's closest friend ran up to him half carrying him. "You alright!? Of course your not. We need to get the hell out of here." They ran until they got to the base of the mountain and dry land. Elrohir began to heal Dimitri's back. "you owe me one" Dimitri could only laugh and reply "Owe you one. Let me see here. You still owe me 7 more saving of lives."

The two half-elves laughed at this and waited to be told what to do next. The next morning they were being moved toward the upper mountains were now Ogres and trolls mindless beings were causing some problems. As Dimitri and Elrohir walked through the snow they watched the peaks. Elrohir whispered, "Did you see those few boulders seem to disappear?" Dimitri nodded and held up his bow and took aim at a rock.

He fired and suddenly the small valley the elves were in filled with the noise of senseless nonsense. Only 6 fully grown trolls came from behind them while 3 ogres charged down the hills. Dimitri turned and slashed one but then a large fist smacked Elrohir directly in the chest. Sending him flying back. "No!" He ran towards his friend slicing and dodging.

Elrohir shook his head "Im fine. Stop looking at me like that I am fine." Dimitri slapped him on the back and returned to the fray.
