Chapter 20 The Adventurer

As time passed, the now adventurer (Atreyu), set out to venture throughout the elven continent (Eldamar), with days turning to months, Atreyu ventured into the uninhabited forests and mountains of intelligent life, full of beasts and monsters. He was amazed at all the variety of animals, beasts and monsters that inhabited there, it was amazing, in his homeland there were monsters and beasts, but they were few thanks to deforestation and hunting for sport and the mages who hunted beasts or monsters of magical nature for their rituals and magical things contributed to the fact that there were few beasts left in his home continent.

That was why he was always so in awe, whether it was the elves, their culture, their lands or their long lives, everything is so magical, and though there was a magical vibe in his home continent as well, it did not compare to the elven continent, full of mystery and the arcane.

Atreyu kept venturing to the new world, until he found the golems, magical elemental beings made of magic and the elements, the first ones he found were the stone golems, he had been absorbed looking at them, giant humanoid beings of more than 3 or 4 meters made of rock and magic, a great spectacle to behold.

Then he found the ice golem, he found them while climbing the snowy mountains, somewhat laymen of the kingdom of the Vunwae, he found him sitting and with his arms hanging on his legs, he seemed to be meditating standing still, but he was just there... without doing anything, that day he got the scare of his life when he saw him move when he stared at him.

As the days passed, one day he got a pleasant surprise, because without him seeing, in a part of his journey a being was following him, one that is silent, does not speak, does not eat and can walk without rest for a long time, it was a golem, a small one for his race, reaching 1.78 meters, small because normal golems are almost always about 3 to 4 meters.

When he saw it, he did not take much importance since he did not know that it was following him for a long time, he thought that the golem had found him by mistake and that would be all, but no, in the next days he kept finding it and finding it, until he got fed up and let it follow him openly instead of discovering him trying to get closer to him.

As time went on, Atreyu continued to venture through Eldamar, he passed through the other two elven kingdoms, those days he was a great surprise for the elves of other kingdoms and with great caution and determination, they had escorted him to the kings of their respective kingdoms, until they knew that he was the only human in his home they did not relax, but they did not stop pointing their weapons at him, and without Atreyu noticing they had cast a hundred spells on him. In his days in the kingdoms, he made friends and acquaintances, the little golem stayed near one of these kingdoms to be able to evolve, so said an elf, an expert in golem.

Until one day, after 6 years of having set foot on the elven land, he fell in love with an elf...

They had met by chance, he was in a village near the Kingdom of Nholdur, he was passing through to replenish supplies and it would be like that if he had not found her, she was in her own world, she was training, trying to control her magic more fluently to have more control and be able to reach more legos, in her already great magical and physical strength.

Atreyu formed a conversation with her, and with the passing of the days they began to know each other, he at that time apart from being with her, he protected the village from beasts or monsters that wanted to harm the village, although he did not need it since the elves themselves were very strong, but the elves did not say anything, either by education or by pity. With the passing of the days and his constant hunting of monsters, he became famous in the village, causing him to be praised and accepted completely in the village, making him feel very praised.

As time went on and on, months went by until one day, having lost so much time to get to know Rave and form a kind of courtship, he asked to marry the elf Rave.

This happily agreed to have a relationship of husband and wife, and although the age difference was somewhat strange, it did not prevent them from enjoying their days together before going to Rave's parents, and this made Atreyu a little nervous, since he had not had such a relationship with a person and less to meet the parents of his partner. It was a somewhat unforgettable experience.

The mother was content and happy that her little baby was getting married, but her father was in a constant state of coldness, all directed towards Atreyu, who was sitting across the table in the dining room, constantly shuddering with a forced smile on his face.

With the years that passed, Atreyu became older and older, reaching the age of 46 years Atreyu already had a son with Rave, they named him Mitalar, being the first half elf in the history of the Elven race.

And of course, that information was not left alone in the village, the news that a baby son of a human and an elf was born, spread like the wind in the treetops, the information reached the hands of the 6 elven kings, they decided to promise to visit him.
