Secrets of Elvenjur

I woke up, and as I squinted the light starts to peek through. I shut my eyes to collect my consciousness, as I reopened my eyes, the first thing I see was my window as the trees look healthy as ever.

The flowers infront of my window shine while the sun ray hits their petals. The hot sun light hits through my glass window and heats the wooden floor.

I stand up and push the hair out of my face, as I put on my slippers and walk towards my bathroom. I turn on the faucet and I start to rinse my face, I did my morning routine and as I get out of the bathroom in my robe, I grab a pair of white tank top, and some pair of black shorts.. I put on our signature Fera skirt and went my way outside.

I checked the wooden clock and see that it's 6am, just in time before my duty calls. You see, us Feralite have the duty to protect and serve. We are the strongest Lite that was said to exist, so it is our duty to protect the King or Queen, and serve the kingdom til the very end of our lives.

To me, it's cruel.. But do I even have a choice? Hera once foretold that in the future we will get our freedom.. Did we?.. Only fools believe in Hera, someone probably written her so called prophesies on some old paper and called it ancient. I won't be one of those fools who believe in some stup!d fairy tale.

I keep telling my fellow Feralite to just give up on that dumb Hera story, if she was real, we wouldn't be here digging our own graves.

Yeah, thanks a lot to this Goddess you all believe in.

Well, I've reached the Elvenjur Castle, as expected Jillian and Jack is here. The two werewolf guards in the front gate. "Hey Jill, hey Jack" they responded in unison "Hey Kaya" The werewolf general/their father at the front door hit his sword on the concrete floor and they both went silent.

I chuckled and went to the general, "you're surprisingly early" he said to me, "it's the first time I don't hear you shouting at me general moon." I responded with a smile. "Don't get to comfortable, make one wrong move and you'll hear my voice beating your ear drums." general responded playfully with a grin.

"Sir yes sir" I shouted as I saluted. I walk inside and went to assist the King. Yeah, my friends tell me I'm lucky but to me this is the worst job any Fera could get. I groaned as I went to enter the throne room.

"Fera 26 there you are" The King shouted. "Good morning your majesty" I responded with a bow. I noticed the princess sitting on the smaller throne beside the King. "Good morning your highness" I bowed.

"would you like breakfast your Majesty" I asked in a formal tone. "The usual" the King responded, I sighed. "did you say something?" The king asked. "No your majesty" I responded as I turn around to exit the throne room.

I marched my way to the Royal Kitchen with left arm on my back and my right arm on my side, as I held my chin up high I entered the Royal Kitchen as the Gold accents shine from the kitchen counter and cabinets.

As I enter four of the Royal Cook came in front and went in a line. "Fera 26, what is the request of the king?" The head chef asked in a formal tone. "RC 1 the King requests Bacon, eggs and a two salad bowl and his usual soup. " I responded formally.

"RC 4 get the soup ready, RC 3 get the bacon ready and RC 2 get the eggs ready I take care of the Salad bowls." The head Chef commanded.

Okay so yes I know, why are we called by number? Our number represents our rank, skill and leadership. Number one is always the head, why aren't they special servants of the king? Number 26 was believed to be the most trusted, as it was said in history once the 5th ruler of Elvenjur predicted that once she turns 26 next year she would be dead and

after her death Elvenjur will grow to be strong and mighty with an Alliance with another specie.

And after a year it did happen, so the Royal family believed that number 26 was a truthful number, and is trusted just like the Queen. Which to me is absolute nonsense, but it's royal history and we're not allowed to criticize it.. but so what, it's not like I'll live long enough even before you kill me for that.

So, the food was laid out on long white table with small pearl details and gold accents on the edge of the table.. "Hm... magnificent job as always Fera 26" Your majesty acknowledged.

I hear giggling as my best friend Fera 17 but as I call her, Yulè one of the messengers of the King, smiles at me and gave a thumbs up for acknowledgment of my work. I winked at her with a grin..

As the day goes by, it was boring as ever.. On top of that the Head of the Fera shouted at me for no literal reason. All she said was why would I drink water at this time when I needed to watch over the king, even though I was given approval of the king to take a water break.

It's almost like everything I do is wrong, not because of that one scolding, she does this everyday for literally every single thing I do. To me she is just jealous I do better job than her and I don't get scolded by the king for my work. Jeez, she didn't have to be so crazy jealous about it.

So it's the end of my duty, and the guards Jillian and Jack were going home while their father, General Moon stays behind to keep the guards and warriors in order.

As I see Unix and Xev their night shift replacements come, I immediately told them to hurry up and walk back to their house. I was almost like in a panic but they are legit the most strict guards, and most intimidating other than General moon.

Now, there is one thing I haven't explained, our houses are not allowed to be white, and we aren't allowed to live in a mansion, only a cabin or a medium sized house. Only exactly up to 2floors and that is it, nowhere bigger and fancier than the Royal Palace. Its been a rule ever since King Harry ruled Elvenjur.

god.. Can being a Fera get any worse??...
