Elincia Alanis
Character
In a small village where the Elves worked for another one's wealth in Tygara, being Elincia, was pretty tough. Being only 45 years old, which counted a young adult in elf years, she always had the want of being somewhere else, somewhere that would take the girl away from doing a basic job to heroic ones, where she would become the hero of her own destiny instead of denying it and watching it from afar. Yet, it was everyone's dream, right? So she wasn't someone special, probably will die doing farm job instead of being in the battlefield using her "gift", as her parents would call it. Yes, she never saw it as a gift, being always cold and not able to enjoy the sun, it pretty much was worse when she couldn't control it and hurt the people that she loved. According to her parents, there were people like her in the family, a lot of them actually, and they have been tattoo'd to make them "special." For her, it was just a little reminder for the people that's close to her that she has a curse. Hell, the family almost thought that she was dead when she was born since her skin color was like a corpse. Also, her family didn't want to show her to the world, always told her scary stories about Elves in armor coming to gather the gifted ones to punish them so she shouldn't use them. The thought of it was scary enough even for a rebellious girl like her.
Today was one of that days, her family already left the house to go to work, and she was left alone since she rebelled against them and over-slept. Well, she didn't oversleep actually, she just pretended. Elincia was an early bird, one of another reasons to hate herself. She sighed and escaped the prison she has been put, to get some groceries out of the way. Her village was not that familiar with the Force, since they always considered the girl as dangerous. So they mostly kept their distance and avoided eye contact with her. She didn't care, not at all. She was bothered by the close-minded people like them anyway. No fun, just work. She wasn't going to die here, for sure, she had to find a way to get out of here and start using this curse for good, if she had to live with it. Her village had hunters, she wanted to join them but rejected by the fearless hunter leader that she would be dangerous and would scare the animals away. Yep, she would. Cowards.
After returning home, she realized something was going wrong. Her parents were already at home and they had that serious faces that when they were usually angry with the girl. So, leaving the groceries to the kitchen, she slowly walked through the living room which the silence conquered. "What did I do now?" She asked, almost in a rebellious voice as she walked. Then the attention turned to her, her father spoke, his voice shaking a bit. "Not everything is about you, Elincia." Then added sighing, his voice was troubling.. "I am just.. .worried that scouts have noticed a big amount of Xioquo army coming towards the village. They have some cannons, trained soldiers, and a lot of numbers. We are a peaceful village, we have not much military experience." She listened to his words with a worried face. "The what?" She asked, since the term was not very familiar. Her village was far from all the wars and stuff. "Xioquo. The dark ones. The elves who were corrupted. They have gifts like you. And they have the numbers..." The subject was always her gift, right? "I am going to talk with the village elders to arrange a militia for us if they decide to do anything funny." The girl had a brilliant idea, her curse would actually come in handy this way. "Let me come with you. If they have the curse like me, maybe I can help you." As always, her father was dismissive. "Elincia, we have talked about this. Don't use the "curse" word here. It's not a curse." Then added. "I am sure our military can hold the perimeter. You don't need to worry." Elincia wasn't a person to be persuaded this easily. "You've just said they have the advantage!" But no, her father was just as stubborn as her. "Do not. leave. the house. It's an order. Are you coming, honey?" He asked to her mom.
Then, he left without dealing with Elincia's rebelliousness anymore. "Uggh... Stop acting like I am a child!" She shouted after her father. Her mother was not even speaking, she knew that there were something wrong going here and yes, very dangerous as well. The Xio... Xioq--- whatever that was, sounded especially dangerous if they had the curse like her. "Mother, I can help them, I know it." Yet her mother was not persuaded that easily too. So, she just took the worst qualities of her parents and mixed them together. "You have heard your father, Elincia. He and I are good hunters, and we will protect you. Stay here and be a good girl now, will you?" Elincia, didn't listen as always. She was an eternal fire not to be put down that easily. "You don't have the "gift", okay? You are clearly outnumber..." "You don't even know how to use that gift of yours Elincia, you will just hurt yourself. Stay." Her mother didn't let her finish the word as she went towards the exit like her dad. Yes, the following sentences that escaped her mouth were not that appropriate for kids, since she was pretty angry that still they saw her as a burden. Anger turned to ignorance then. Let them handle then, why not? If they didn't want her help then she wouldn't help. Stupid people! Leaving her with a curse and then not letting her use it.
Hours have passed, her family still didn't return home. Everything in her home was quiet yet from the window she could see the movement very much. This Xioquo army was directly coming towards her village, there was everything to be worried about, not like her parents said! Yet she couldn't do anything but to watch for now, since no matter how angry she was with her mothers words, they were right. She didn't know how to use it. Breathe in, breathe out. The rebellious spirit inside her was not yet in peace, she still wanted a chance to prove herself to the whole village that she wasn't just a cursed one but someone that could keep herself safe. As the minutes passed, the silence has filled the once action-full area of elves, this proved that something bad was about to happen. Then, BOOM! Came the voice from one of the cannons which immediately finished the silence, and then her people started to charge towards the dark ones, which made the aura of this place a bit.... disturbing. The silence was replaced by warcries and various arrow and clash of metal voices as the battle continued. She had no use in tihis fight, that put herself in so much anger, the feeling of powerlessness. No, if she didn't... If she didn't help they would... die. No matter how rebellious she was, she loved her parents. She wouldn't want them to die. So, not obeying their rules, she escaped the house, to her chance since one of the cannons destroyed her house the second she escaped it.
Then, she run towards the armory between the fires, not much weaponry since they had a peaceful reputation in the area but still have enough for them to save themselves. In there, she saw her father giving people blasters and rifles as they came one by one. Women, children... And she had to stay at home when children smaller than her were in the battleground. This proved that they didn't care about her, they just didn't want her to fail them. Like before times, where she couldn't control her powers and freeze that children... unwillingly. And that time when she got so excited that she froze her own father’s legs. Luckily, his father knew how to handle those things since he was a good hunter and he lived in those environments before coming to Tygara. Her whole thoughts has been cleared as she saw her father directly looking at her with angry, angry eyes. “Elincia! What the kark are you doing here? I told you not to leave the house!” She replied, no backing down since she was as stubborn as him. “In case you didn’t notice, dad. Our house is no more, they blown it up. If I didn’t escape there, I would be dead now! But you would prefer that wouldn’t you?” Her father’s expression changed immediately after hearing the news. “Elincia...” He came towards her and hugged her. “I only want to protect you, only want you to be safe.” Then she immediately pushed him back, being the rebel that she was. “You don’t give a kark about me. You want them to be safe from my karking curse.” Then her hand went towards one of the blaster pistols. “I am going to fight there, and if you are lucky I am going to fulfill your wish.” Her father was both sad to hear the words, yet proud for her to standing up for herself. No more words escaped his mouth as he simply nodded.
Onto the battlefield, there were blood and suffering everywhere, Xioquo being faster and more advanced against her people, they were in great advantage, since in close range, tanks weren’t that useful as they stood in the background and bombard everything they’ve managed to build over the years, yet the ground forces weren’t effected by them that much. But the disadvantage of the tank was not important since the ground forces of Xioquo were doing fine already, and she felt the smell of burnt flesh, and she could see ice particle around the battleground and on the corpses. Yes, as her father said those things were indeed cursed like her powers, and yes, they were obviously more experienced by her and would probably kick her butt in a close battle between super powers, and she didn’t know how to kickstart her powers too, since all of her experiences went completely coincidentially. So she remained in the background using her blaster as the melee team continued keeping them safe from harm. She could see her mom fighting melee as well, being the leader of her own group of melee fighters she looked so cool doing what she did when she was on the battleground. Both her parents needed to learn how to speak with a rebellious girl though.
As the melee group got owned one by one by the flying ice and fire, she moved in between lines and found her father again with her laser minigun as he continued killing the enemies one, two, three. They indeed had the curse yet they were vulnerable to the blasters, that was for sure. But there was something else, something wrong. One of the Xioquo soldiers were coming directly towards him from the back and sent an electric shock, which was very, very purple-ish which meant it was strong in power, and there was no way that he would react to it in its speed. “Dad watch out!” She shouted, which caused him to look directly towards the coming danger and being completely unable to move. She had no way to shoot it from here since her ranger skills weren’t that good. Her dad closed his eyes and waited the Goddess of Death to come, but nothing happened. Elincia, using her curse for the good this time, has created an ice shield between him and the shock just before it could touch him. Thus, the shock crashed to the ice and changed it’s direction, and killed another Xioquo soldier coming towards him as well. That’s it, her kickstart. Yet... everything was not sunshine and rainbows. “Elincia, no!” The dad shouted as sharp ice particles started to appear from thin air, the aura suddenly got cold. “I can do it! I can do it!” She said, yet who was she lying, she didn’t know how to stop it. As the ice particles left her hand and went fastly towards both allies and enemies and killing them one by one, Xioquo attacking and... killing faster understanding there was someone else that could use the curse. “No no no come on stop! Not now! Not now!”
“Everyone get away from her!” The dad shouted, “Stay away from Elincia.” What a jerk, just a second ago she just saved his skin from dying and now he was talking like that. Well... to think about it, yes, it was awful that she was killing her own men accidentally. “I am sorry!” She said, yet couldn’t stop it. Her dad was coming towards her, she saw that and it was the last thing she wanted to do. “Stay away, dad. Don’t want to... I don’t want to kill you!” The ice particles continued to grow up as she freaked out, it started to go in every direction now, like ice rain. It both rained towards the enemies and allies from above. She didn’t have control of it, she couldn’t stop it. That was why they were calling it a curse, right? Her father, being as stubborn and courageous as always, continued, his eyes were full of determination, and it didn’t look good at all. Not good at all. Then, cutting the last particle of ice coming towards him, he reached the girl and pulled her towards himself with violence, breaking the concentration and hurting the girl’s arm in the process, the ice rain stopped immediately as the space elf shook the girl with anger: “Elincia, I told you not to use that... karking curse! Enough of sweet talking, you don’t even know what you are doing with this!” The girl, instead of rebelling, this time she looked blankly towards the man, her eyes going gray as she slowly lost consciousness from all that sudden power bomb. She could still hear her father talkingAnd when she opened her eyes to reality, she found herself in one of the shelters that has been built by the surviving elves from the fight. And luckily... or in this case... unluckily, both of her parents were alive and looking directly at her.
“How long... was I gone?” She asked with weak voice. “3 days.” The mother replied. “We told you to be careful with your powers, Eli.” Then she replied. “I know. I just saved... him....” She said, her voice was still weak but she made them know that she was talking about her father. “... from a potential death. He watched the electric shock as it was coming towards him when I acted and created an actual ice shield. Ice shield, mom. With my curse.” She didn’t address her father since he wasn’t even there to check her. “He doesn’t love me. He just... He hates me for my curse.” Her mom started to gently caress her hair. “Don’t speak like that. He loves you. He’s just worried.” But then her father came towards the aura and just destroyed it with his stares. “The Elves that I talked about when you were a child. Remember them, Elincia?” He said, staring blankly. “They are asking about a girl that has created that ice rain... I told them. They are coming for you. It’s probably for the best. You’ve proven that you are dangerous.” Her mom protested of course, but persuaded by her father after a... maybe 30 minutes. The worst minutes of her life. “Don’t give me to them, please! I will not use my powers anymore, I promise. I won’t!” She would cry if tears actually could came from her eyes, yet she didn’t make the situation worse with ice cubes coming from her eye sockets. “Too late.” The father said, and some foreign elves that she didn’t see in village before entered the shelter. “They are already here.” Being weak from using her power to the limit, she wasn’t much of a force to prevent them from taking her. “Is this the girl?” One of the soldiers asked, the father just nodded. “Mom! Don’t give me to them please. I promise I won’t use it anymore!” Her mom, being sweet but also authoritive, just closed her eyes and smiled. “Be strong, my daughter. Be strong.” In the remaining minutes, she just cried out some curse words, screamed and shouted. In her own imagination, they were giving her to the death itself.
Struggling to keep herself away from them, she just...she was powerless. And she was taken away from her home towards somewhere she didn’t know, all that struggling and exhaustion from before just got to her and she fainted out again. As she opened her eyes, she was about to freak out, it was a so different place then she knew, everything was shiny, lively. Armored elves running around, she was kind of in a waiting room, one of the soldiers she’s met... or.... has been dragged by, was standing right next to her. “When the Grand Seraph calls you, you will go there and be respectful. We are not going to share the details with them how we brought you here.” She simply nodded and started to wait, maybe for her own death, or maybe all of the dad’s stories were just lies. She was about to find out about that. Tick, tock, tick, tock. Daddy didn’t care, mommy wasn’t there. She waited, waited and waited. Saving him was the worst decision in her life, if only she let him die, she wouldn’t be here today. Well, partly he was right. It was her fault, she brought all this towards herself. If only... if only.... Couldn’t prevent anything. Talking about if onlies never helped.
