At one time, Elarion, took a special step by personally selecting a branch and 100,000 leaves from the World Tree. An act that caused damage to the World Tree. And it would require a full decade to fully recover from this damage.
But still, Elarion didn't stop, and made the potion of it, which Azlan consumed.
However much to everyone's surprise, the expected transformation did not take place. Even after consuming the potion, Azlan didn't change into the Elves.
This was the first time World Tree leaves and branches had failed to bestow Elven characteristics upon someone.
Any other human in such a situation would have undergone a swift transformation and will become an Elf. But it didn't work on Azlan.
However, on this unusual turn of events, something even more remarkable transpired. Although Azlan failed to become an Elf, he gained all the extraordinary powers of a Royal Elf.
He has awoken the air, plant and time abilities. Already adored by his people, Azlan's unique powers elevated him to an even more exceptional status within the Sylvarion Kingdom.
And because of his Awakening, it became a cause for great celebration throughout the Sylvarion Kingdom.
Magical Beasts were always drawn to Azlan's unique aura, and continued to flock to him, they even brought various fruits for him. And always play with him. This scene became an interesting and common sight for the citizens of the kingdom.
On the warriors' training ground, Azlan diligently honed his skills with a bow and arrow under the expert guidance of his sisters, Elysia and Freya. With his training, he has mastered air, plant and time magic to use in arrow.
In these five years, Elysia and Freya lovingly doted on Azlan, finding joy in their playtime together. Whether it involved toying with his vibrant red hair or playfully pinching his cheeks.
Among the citizens of the kingdom, if Azlan was the most cherished by someone, it was undeniably these four individuals. His father, mother and his sisters.
He remained the apple of his mother Celestia's eye, receiving love even at the age of five. She personally cooks the food for him.
Elarion not only provided love but also moments of pure joy, picking up his son and playing with him even during serious meetings. Azlan often enjoyed the privilege of riding on his father's shoulders, experiencing a depth of paternal love.
Elarion and Celestia's love for Azlan has even surpassed that given to Elysia and Freya.
Thus, five years gracefully passed, with Azlan not only growing older but also maturing in his magical abilities.
One day, Azlan was playing with a rare Magical Beast, Light Unicorn. Her name was Luna, and she belonged to his father.
Riding and soaring through the skies on Luna's back, Sharky felt so thrilled that he forgot. That he has already crossed the boundary of Elven Kingdom, and goes very far.
Both of them have already lost track of time, while enjoying the feeling of clouds.
"Azlan, perhaps we should consider returning now; we've come quite far, and the day is waning," Luna suggested, conveying her thoughts mentally with Sharky.
While Magical Beasts couldn't speak in the human language, so not everyone understands what the Magical Beasts are talking about. Until then, someone knows the beast's language.
But, if the magical beasts became someone's partner. Then they will be able to understand the language of their tamed Magical Beasts.
Since Luna is the magical beasts of Elven King Elarion, he can understand Luna's thoughts.
However, Luna was not bonded to Azlan, but still he understood what Luna was talking about.
Even Azlan didn't know why, but somehow, since childhood, he possessed the extraordinary ability to hear the thoughts of Magical Beasts and communicate with them.
The origins of this rare gift was mysterious, like how the Magical Beasts like him, and try to please him.
"No, Luna, just play one more hour. If I return back now, mom will make me sleep, and I don't like to sleep early. Let's savor this beautiful scenery for another hour," Azlan denied Luna's suggestions, since he was child, he wanted the freedom of enjoying this beautiful scenery.
"Okay, but only for one hour, after that, we will return back," Luna agreed.
"Ok," Azlan nodded, and they started enjoying the flying, and soon, they went very far from the previous place.
As they were enjoying the scenery, an unforeseen arrow, swift and unexpected, struck Azlan's back suddenly, causing him to plummet from Luna's back.
The abrupt attack caught both Azlan and Luna off guard, leaving the Unicorn unable to react in time to prevent the fall.
Luna focused on Azlan, discovering that he had fainted on the ground, she was going to protect him. But, first, she wants to know who is the culprit, who harms Azlan.
She scanned the surroundings, and noticed a group of around a thousand people emerged, each armed with different weapons and wearing the same attire.
With discerning eyes, she sees the archer who had unleashed the arrow. A feather was adorned on his back. Based on the pattern of the feather, Luna recognized that this person was bonded with a rare magical beast, the Sleeping Butterfly.
Sleeping Butterflies, known for their rarity, possessed limited physical abilities but harbored a unique and potentially dangerous power – their sleeping pollen attack.
With their pollen attack, they are even able to affect formidable beings like Void Dragons and Space Phoenixes, making them fall asleep, but only for a brief period. Moreover, this pollen itself was non-poisonous and not harmful.
But in the slave trader group, obtaining a Sleeping Butterfly and forming a bond was a big achievement for them.
Sleeping Butterflies, highly sought after and prized for their unique abilities. If someone bonded with it, he gained the potential to elevate his mere village-level business to a kingdom-level enterprise.
Recognizing the critical importance of the feathered archer and knowing Azlan's vulnerable condition, Luna understood that facing a thousand of humans alone was a difficult challenge.
Instead, she remembered their appearance and attire of the assailants in her memory, and swiftly ran away from the scene, leaving Azlan behind.
She has decided to inform Elarion, the Elf King and Azlan's father.
When the slave traders observed the Unicorn's retreat, they realized – they had made a grave mistake.
In the area around the Eastern Kingdom, it was widely known that Unicorns were unfailingly loyal, always ready to risk their lives but never leaving their partners alone.
This fact indicated that the real owner of the Unicorn was not the unconscious child on the ground but rather his parents.
Given that Unicorns were mostly found among Elven royalty and especially within the Elves Kingdom, the slave traders began to feel unease. They know they are in danger, while thinking about what to do with the Elven child.
"Boss, this red-haired child is not an Elf," Brij, one of the henchmen, pointed out.
"What?" Amit, the Butterfly-winged Archer, flew over to Azlan, he noticed he had not the pointed ears. It means he was not an Elves.
"Boss Amit, what should we do now? We came here for an Elf, and he isn't one," Sudhir, another henchman, inquired, he was also in tension.
But Amit, instead of becoming panicked, breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that the child was not an Elf. If his parents were human, then they wouldn't be able to do anything to his group, Bajra Dal.
Amit's group is part of a larger organization known as the Bajra Dal, he can easily deal with the child's parents.
"Now there is no problem, look how beautiful this child is, he is even more beautiful than the Elves. Its price will be in billions, it will make us real billionaires overnight. Hahaha, now we are going to be rich, let's go everyone," Amit laughed after thinking about becoming rich overnight, a sly grin forming on his lips.
The Sleeping Pollen's effects wore off, and Azlan awoke to find himself surrounded by unfamiliar faces. Although he was panicked, but he concealed his fear, and showed a brave attitude.
"Who are you guys? Why are you surrounding me? Where's Luna?" He asked many of the questions to the strangers.
Instead of responding, the slave traders erupted in laughter. Amit, recognizing that Azlan was about to his his powers, he quickly equipped him with an Anti-Powers Device, severing Azlan's connection with his abilities.
With the Bajra Dal members gathered together and Azlan now in their custody, they set off back towards their dwellers, "Today's hunt turned out to be good, now I will fuck Savita for a whole month," Kullu shouted with passion.
"I will also celebrated our hunts with my wife, Raveena, I will fucked her ass, till she even can't walk properly," Ballu shouted.
Slave trader were famous for their worst habit, they openly fucked their wife without hiding with anyone. And many of them even visited the brothel.
They have only two things they want in their lives, one is the wine, the other is the girls.
The slave trader returns back to their headquarters, unknown to what they were going to encounter due to the kidnapping of Azlan. The ominous shadows of impending danger loomed over their group.
...…..
Luna, with her full speed, reached the location of King Elarion's meeting. And in a panicked voice she shouted, "Elarion, Elarion, something has happened! Something has happened to Azlan!"
The mood of the people in the meeting suddenly changed, hearing Luna shouting. Although, they didn't understand what Luna was saying. But from her tone, they could sense that something grave had occurred.
Elarion became angry, hearing that something happened to Azlan, but still he calmly addressed the situation, "Luna, take a breath, and then tell me, what has happened."
Luna recounted the incident of Azlan's kidnapping, she mentioned the presence of a yellow mace symbol on the attackers' clothing.
Elarion absorbed every detail, while he was also becoming angry. And he knew this was the work of some slave traders group. Although he wasn't familiar with the slave trader group, he did know of only one human kingdom situated on the north side, and it was Somtar Kingdom.
Sylvarion Kingdom was situated in a good strategic location. It was surrounded all over the Sylvarion Forest.
On the East side of Sylvarion Forest, Ice Mountain was located. There are tales that in the Ice Mountain, Ice Dragon and Ice Phoenix reside, but whether it was true or myth, this is another topic.
So because of this, King Elarion only puts Faeler and 1000 troops in the East Military quarters.
On the South side of the Sylvarion Forest is located the Moonstone River and Yuxu Mountain. It was said that inside the river is the way to the moon. And Yuxu Mountain is famous for their beast habitat.
Although it was also a safe area, still, King Elarion put 2000 troops there and General Sylvaris.
And then from the West side, their situated Violent Dragon Empire and Proud Moon Empire. And after the Violent Dragon Empire, Nalan Empire was situated.
And after it was another continent called the Blue Moon Continent.
Because of those two Empire Presence, King Sylvarion has made General Aragorn as the General of West Military Quarters with the 10000 army.
And then on the north side, the Somtar Kingdom was present, and after it was the Silver Wave Continent.
Here King Sylvarion has put General Aelarion with 6000 guards on the North Military Quarters.
