Chapter 1 “Little Stone”

In the world of Haize, magic exists in all beings that inhabit it, from a grain of sand to the largest of dragons, even a stone. Haize has had many wars since its creation, the existence called the Demon King did not scare its inhabitants as much as the conflicts between the different nations.

Due to the wars, the different elemental spirits got angry with the inhabitants of Haize , they took physical form and joined the conflict, their forms varied from bearded dwarves, muscular orcs and beautiful elves, only one of them decided to take the form of the human race.

When they intervened in wars, they showed their strength and threatened to retaliate against nations that persisted in fighting, since the appearance of the elemental spirits, ten years of negotiations passed before ending all great wars .

The inhabitants of each nation held a celebration in honor of the spirits and created different temples to worship them, even the Demon King had to accept that it was not compared to the power that the spirits demonstrated.

The life of the spirits was unlimited, but after a thousand years of peace the spirits disappeared from the world, the only spirit that still remained in Haize, was Eleine, she had taken the form of a young woman with long golden hair with spikes. scarlet and bright emerald eyes . Many nations sent their inhabitants to ask what had happened to the other spirits, but she remained silent, until she decided to become a wandering adventurer leaving the human kingdom.

It was not long until wars broke out again, the kingdom of the orcs, which was previously protected by the spirit of the earth, declared war on the kingdom of the high elves, as the spirit of the winds was no longer in the world. , the elves answered the call and a new era of wars began in the world.

But the story does not begin there, millions of years ago when the world was only chaos, a stone watched as his brothers moved away in the sky, that day he learned the feeling of sadness , he wondered if in the future he could play again with them, but something told him it was difficult. As he did not know many things, he began to look around, some creatures were frightened by the large rock that had fallen from the sky, some of them were curious and approached to verify that it made so much noise.

The stone looked at them with a smile and greeted them, but no one responded to his words , he thought that perhaps they did not understand what he was saying, but a small winged deer laughed and said, it is not that we do not understand you, it is just that we were surprised see a talking rock. The little stone was surprised , he began to look for someone similar to him , until he saw a slightly dusty rock in the distance, she tried to get closer, but she could not walk without legs so she asked others to help them move her in that direction, the winged deer told him that for him it was not possible since he was very big, he was thinking that perhaps they should ask for more help.

It is not necessary, a thick voice sounded , but only "the little stone" could hear it, the dusty rock told him that no one else besides him could understand it, "my name is Orslo, what is your little name", the little stone said that her mother had not given her one, Orslo offered to name it, but she refused saying that only her mother had that right.

Can you move he asked Orslo, but he just kept quiet, when he understood what he meant by his silence the stone became sad, that way he could never get to where his mother and his brothers are, he was disgusted with the shadow that his mother made send them away. After seeing how angry the little stone was, Orslo gave him hope, out of nowhere he started to move, even if it was a single centimeter it was a great advance.

"Great, don't you think so" said Orslo proudly, moving an inch took hundreds of years of practice , but I think that with more time I will be able to advance in my art . The little stone was very happy with that news, although hundreds of years seemed a long time, he did not know that, he only had in mind that if he tried one more time he could meet his mother.

The weather was cruel to everyone, had spent 500 years and the small stone could move more than one centimeter long as she had energy, he did not know that energy is called magic, but even so he was learning to control it , that day a Winged Big Deer He came to say goodbye, the wars were coming to that forest and they had to leave their home to protect their families.

After that day , the forest became somewhat lonely, the little stone only spent the whole day training and in the afternoons he talked with Orslo, after 500 years of company they both knew each other very well, sometimes they felt that they had a special connection, but his days did not last long.

OHM! A loud explosion was heard in the forest, several machines began to swallow the trees and others destroyed the rocks in their path, they were manned by several dwarves and sometimes they spit fire from their chimneys. OHM! It resounded again, a large portion of earth was leveled by the firing of one of the machines, this time the explosions were closer and that worried the rocky duo of friends, OHM! This time the explosion fell right between Orslo and the small rock , a large cloud of dust flooded the area, making it impossible to maintain vision.

The little rock called his friend, but he could not hear anything, he began to worry that something had happened to him, again he called his friend, this time Orslo replied, "Don't worry little one, I'm fine ", when the dust settled. he set the small stone was horrified, Orslo had lost half of her body, wanted to mourn, but Orslo stopped him and asked him to keep quiet, OHM! Again another explosion sounded , but this time a machine appeared in front of them, the down two dwarves who inspected the rocks, "it odd that have not exploded , " said the dwarf more barbón , " perhaps found a good material , " said a dwarf with mustache , the dwarf bearded man was approached more and told the other that only a rock served , Orslo had many cracks and so I did not pay attention.

When the dwarves left, Orslo began to tell him about the small stone dwarves, they were construction freaks , always looking to invent things to show their companions. Based on what they heard, the dwarves wanted to use the small stone as a material for their creations and it was likely that they would soon take it away,

"Little one, don't worry, if I'm not wrong, they won't be able to do anything to you, remember how amazed they were when you didn't notice any injury on your body, remember to keep training, because if not, when you can get here, you won't find me " he said. Orslo, that day they both had the quietest conversation of their lives, but late at night several fire-breathing machines approached the forest.

"Sir, there was actually a stone that did not receive any damage from our weapons, we believe that it is a great material for your research", the duo of dwarves tried to win the favor of what seemed a wise dwarf, "I will decide , depending on how much I like what they found they will be well rewarded, but if it is not interesting, prepare to be locked in the mines as slaves. The bearded dwarf only hoped that the sage did not get angry with them, he believed that their find could change his lifestyle.

Three dwarves stood in front of the rocky duo of friends, the most unique of them had a large cape and under his clothes he seemed to have several strange things, the little stone wanted to speak, but Orslo stopped him and I hope the dwarves would speak.

The wise dwarf took out a large magnifying glass next to a small black steel hammer, began to hit various parts of the small stone and with the magnifying glass he tried to see if it had hurt him, to his surprise there was no notch on the surface , the dwarf he turned to the duo saying "You did well, this is a good material, now go back and bring the machines to move this rock to residence", the dwarves showed a big smile and left in search of the vehicles .

If I can manage to use you as material for my experiments, I think I will improve my specialty a lot, thought the wise dwarf named Dwain , meanwhile the duo of dwarves returned on a flying ship, from the latter a rather crude metal arm extended , the dwarves who They were driving they tried to lift the rock, but they noticed that it did not rise an inch , Dwain when seeing that they delayed asked what was happening .

"Mr. Dwain, the collector does not have enough strength to lift that rock" said the dwarves, "bullshit, I designed that machine myself, now I give the order to use magic crystals to increase its strength", the dwarves went inside from the ship and they brought a small bag, in it several crystals of many colors shone with great energy, the dwarves knew that those crystals were very expensive to use, but in the end they had to follow orders .

With the energy that the crystals gave to the collector, this achievement raised the stone very easily, the little stone was very sad, he knew that from today he could not meet Orslo again, but he remembered the words that Orslo said, "Never stop training and one day we will meet again small " , when it was stored in the hold of the ship he could not see anything but darkness, he stopped thinking a lot and only one thought crossed his mind," I must continue training, so one day I I will meet mom and Orslo "

"What do we do with the other rock" asked a dwarf, "Do not worry about it , continue with the plan and clear this forest, we need to build a fortress here to avoid the attack of indigenous people from the south", after saying that Dwain left on the flying ship, he wanted to experiment with his new find.

Every day explosions were heard in the forest, the dwarves were serious about leveling the place to prepare their fortress, every day more workers arrived setting up camps to live while the construction lasted.

The flying ship traveled for 4 days until it reached the main city of the dwarf kingdom, Vormund, in the sky hundreds of flying ships entered and left the city, the constructions on the ground were taken from dreams, the most beautiful of all was the main castle, its great white walls adorned by golden statues that reached to the sky, gave it a fantastic touch. After a few minutes the ship landed in what seemed to be a research institute, this place was a bit special, its walls were mostly metallic on the outside, but inside it was another world, the cleanliness of the place with the beautiful murals generated a special feeling in their guests.

But the little stone could not enjoy any of this, she was sent to a somewhat gloomy workshop , in the place there were hundreds of tools on the walls and on some shelves they made collections of different elements.

When they left the small stone alone, a voice sounded in the room, "We have a new guest" said an adamantium hammer, "he seems quite young, that old man must have seen this little one" said a great sword of black steel. And like them, several instruments welcomed the little stone, his voice knew they did not want to hurt him, just had curiosity.

"Before I was like you , big and imposing, but one day a group of dwarfs found me and took me to that old man, in a short time I use most of my body and only I was left to be just a sample hammer" he said Helplessly, this hinted that he was likely to suffer the same fate as the hammer.

Meanwhile in the forest, "Little one, no, little brother I just hope nothing bad happens to you, you must meet your mother to receive your name, and I think you don't know what her name is, her name is very beautiful and it always calms me down when I feel alone. Mother, I know that thousands of years have passed , but I feel like it was yesterday the last time I saw you, I wonder how you are, I would like to rest by your side, even once ", " I really miss you mother "was the last thing I thought. OHM! One more life left this world, at that moment thousands of kilometers away a young woman began to cry, " goodbye, beloved son"
