Chapter 3: Born Again

When I opened my eyes, I was in hand of some human doctors. He using a magic into me, "Mr. Sebastian, this is your sons."

I'm handed over to a handsome brown elfsman that I assume my father. "Hello, my second sons. Welcome to this worlds."

"I want to take a look at my baby dear husband." Seems that sounds come from my mother. My father handed me to my mother arms who still recovered after giving birth to me. "He's handsome and just like you dear husband."

"Of course he's our love results." My father kiss my forehead. "Julis do you want to see your little brother?"

A little girl come to me and see me. "Yeaay I'm having a little brother!"

And then many people come around to see me. I assume they are my relatives or people who want to see me. After looking around in this room, I see a painting of my dad wearing a full knight armour and bearing a flag on top his steed next to it are glass cabinet full of medallion.

Maybe I'm born into a mid class nobleman. And I assume my father became a noble because he's won a war. It's a good life too, and then some elf priestess come and my mother handed me to them.

One of them cast a magic on me and shocked. They writing something on a paper and gave it to my father. The shock on my father faces are real, then he handed the paper to my mother.

"What! Our sons have this so much potential?" said mother in disbelief. "After his sister being a prodigy, our son now a prodigy too?"

"I know you wont believe it right. I will name you Gierre Prastikos Lopaz. The name come from your great grandfather. Who are strong warrior that help elf and human repel demon invasion 1500 year ago." My father said.

Time surpassed very fast. Now I'm 7 years old, I'm fast learner and already impressed the teacher with my reading and mathematic skills. I learned that being elf, your aging are like human until reached your 25th birthday. Elf will stop aging and continuing aging after reach 100 years and etc.

i have a physique like a 7 years old human boy. But in elf aging i'm still a baby, that's why my mother and father are still treating me as a baby. I can enjoy slow life being an elf, not like human that have a very limited time. Now I must come down and enjoy breakfast with the family.

"Father can we have a swordmanship practice today," I ask my father who's reading a newspapers.

"I'd like to. But today father are going to do so much works. Maybe ask your sisters?" My father look to my sister.

"Sure Gierre. Let's practice with me!" My sisters answered.

"Dont be long okay? Your little brother will be taking school entrance exam this afternoon." Said mother from the kitchen. "Finish your breakfast and mom will breastfeed you."

And I forgot to tell that elf also still breastfeed by the mother until reached 30years old. What I understand is not must your mother to breastfeed. Any mature woman will do the same to any baby elf who havent reached 30years old even if they are not their sons or daughters. Maybe thats why we elfes have a strong family ties and have high intelligence.

"I've finished breakfast, mom!" I said and hurriedly take the dirty plate to kitchen. As middle class noble, we dont have a maid but it's not necessary to have.

"Good boy," My Mother praised me. "Let's breastfeed you okay."

My mom bring me to living room and breastfeed me. "Dear husband, will you read out load the newspapers for me. Just read something that may entertaint me."

"Sure," my father answered. "Hmmm, let's see. Nothing interested in economics section, and here it is."

My father read out loud a fashion section of newspapers for my mother. After 15 minutes my mother finished breastfeed me. Now I'm feeling full and energized. My sister come next to breastfeed.

"I'll wait in the hill sisters!" I shouted. 

"Bring me my practice swords too!" my sister replied.

"Okay!" I said. After coming out from living room I enter my sister and I room. Grabbing the two practice sword made from wood that our father made. From our house in the Old City district, I walk alone passing Haunted Point districts to the west to a nearby farmland that have a hill on it. This farmland are ours, the workers greeted me and I greeted them back.

I lived in a trade port city called Turtons. My father a one star general that got a mandate from the emperor to govern this city, Tagyars and Magrars. Turtons are not to big, only the trade port district are taking up 50% of the city. From this hill I can see the entire city. Many big trade ship are coming and departing.

My sister finally come but she bring her friend, Alana to train with us. "Hi Gierre, lets practice a lot today. Let me cast a dummy target magic."

Alana casted a three dummy target in front of us. I gave one practice sword to my sisters and we spend time until noon training swordsmanship. It's my time to come home and meet mom in front of school. This school that I going to attend are like elementary school in human civilization.

This school are gonna teach me everything about our races, religions, our specialty, some training in weapons and basic tactics. After finished this school at age 18 we must attend higher school in capital or in human kingdom.

I walk past Haunted Points district to north going to Free Orchards district. The school are located ini, near a humans settlement in this city. Elfes and Humans live side by side harmoniusly here.

I meet my mom in school entrance. She deals with the registration affairs and take me to the exam classrooms. There's some humans attend this school too. The class goes quiet as the doors closed. The teacher come and start distributing exam answer sheets and exam questions.

After one hours, I passed the exams with flying colours. Now begin the phase two of exams, we're going interviewed by teachers. They will assess our understanding of the reading, the exam questions and assess our IQ.

"Passed it again mother." I said after coming out from exam rooms.

"Well done," Mom said and stroked my hairs. "Do you want to play again or follow your mother for shopping dinners?"

"I guess i'll help mother with preparing dinners." I replied.

"Stay close to me Gierre," My mother replied and grab my hands.
