Here we go

I never thought that I would be targeted once again, at least not as soon as I join the guards' regiment. I was made fun of by the bullies because I survived the human killer of the elves. They would laugh at me because I wasn't as tall or strong as they were, but I did keep up with most. I was more of the supporter. I had magic that I didn't find out till later that year. Little did I know I was a target again and this is how I found out.

After the classes for the guards. It was sunset as I would approach the forest garden to get back to the dorms, For that was the shortest way. There stood the bullies. They were nothing important to me , so I walked past them not acknowledge that they were there. One of them grab my hair and pulled me back. "Where do you think your going?" the leader asked. "Back to dorms before nightfall" I said trying to walk pass them once more but one held their hand out and smiled "Not tonight your not. No one likes you halfling even the man who killed your family didn't think it was worth his time to kill you." the second one. The leader and the lackeys were nothing but all talked. "You should just go and kill yourself in a human portal " the third one said. "How about you fight me one on one then three against one?" I asked as I sat my stuff down ready to fight. They looked at me with a smirk. Someone came up behind me as I quickly turn around and protected myself from the hit. "Cheap shot. You will definitely pay for that"

I was under a male elf arm as I had my arm crossed above my head to keep the knife from coming down. Like most elves they were awarded of what position they were in and how to counter. This elf seem to be a novice. I looked at all the possibilities to get out of this standoff. This elf must be a brand stinken new to the guard. Why else would he leave himself open like this? I quickly decided to sweep him with my foot as I watched him fall. Soon I was on top of him and held him down. He may been taller but I had him in a locking position where I was stopping him from moving.

I took this time to look up at the bullies. One had shot an arrow at me as I quickly dodged my head but it impacted my arm. I screamed in pain. A lot of nearby elves came over seeing what had happened. A teacher from the school came over as saw what was going on. He looked at the bullies and the newcomer. They tried to said I started the fight, but the teacher had a power to see into the past and shook his head. All four were escort to the head office, I was sent to the nurses.

By the time I got to the medical wing. I realize my arm had cut the arrow in half and healed itself. I looked at the teacher who escort me as he seem to be a bit surprised too.

As I went in, the teacher told them what happened and quickly the nurses came over to looked at my wounded arm. Only a few elves can heal and those who can heal themselves can heal others. Grated I was still very young and I didn't know this at the time what had happened. I would be moved from guard classes to magic user classes. I never saw the buillies nor the newcomer again.
