Chapter 2: Chapter 1 new world new fears

A scream and a crash cut across the large stone room as an old man chucked a rodent into a collection of glass bottles and beakers.

Aggh the old mam said as he started tending to the bite on his finger damn rat I'm trying to help you the old man said.

The rat hissed back clearly thinking not.

Fine then be that way the old man said as he flicked his wrist causing the rat to be engulfed in an orange glow sending it to sleep.

The old man sighed as he put the rat back into a cage another day another failure what does that make 18 now he said as he looked for any injuries on his unwilling patient.

Good no major damage to its body or brain! as resilient as ever as he said to the sleeping rat

Ahh never mind the old man said as he got up from his chair and moved over to a pile of papers on a desk in a corner.

Looking though the pile he found what he was looking for a peice of paper with numbers from one to seventeen on it with failure next to all of them he then grab a pen in a cup on the desk and put an eighteen with the word failure next it.

Well I think that's enough for today I should let the little guy rest so he can get his strength back for next time he said as he walked over to a window and looked out.

Maybe I should go buy some supplies from the village he said thinking about the the lovely cooked vegetables that one elf makes

Ah! he exclaimed I should buy some for the rat maybe then he will trust me more.

Ok it's settled I will go to the village and buy some "supplies" to help with the tests later today he said as he turned away not seeing the sudden rise of smoke coming from the direction of the village.

Panic panic all I hear is panic and screaming as people run around me the smell of smoke filling my nostrils as my home burned around me and all I could think was how I got here....

It started 8 years ago after I left my home to go to work and I heard the sound of screeching tires and then nothingness.

I don't know how long I was in said nothingness it could have been years or seconds all i know is that it ended with a bright light filling my eyes as I heard a muffled voice said something in a language I couldn't understand.

Not long after my eyes adjusted to the light and I could see better not great mind you but good enough to see the figure in front of my eyes.

She had long silky white hair and short sharp pointed ears grayish blue eyes and they were looking at me lovingly as she said words i at the time could not make out.

As she held me close i lifted my hand to lift myself up and she grabbed it and smiled and thats when I noticed how small I was my hand was smaller then her thumb.

As I was trying to process this fact I started feeling sleepy and passed out soon after.

I awoke some time later in a darker room I quickly looked at my hands again and confirmed what I saw before my hands were indeed small but not just that I....I was small my body was tiny I tried to think of a good reason within common sense but I just couldn't nothing made sense.

 as I lifted my hands to my head I brushed my ears and noticed they were pointy just like the ladies.

It was at this point I finally figured it out I had been reincarnated into a new world and this lady was my mother.

The first few years aren't that important and I can't remember them that well anyway but what I do know is my new mother was not well off.  

we lived in a pretty run down wood shack no holes in the roof but thats about it when it comes to the praise i can give it.

my new mother made a farm off to the side of out home were she grew potatoes carrots and other vegetables most of which would be sold in town. 

From what I could tell she and I are half elves while the people living in town are full elves

And that is why we lived outside of town 

it's not like they hated us they still bought food from my new mother for a fair price but they tended to avoid us.

One day when I was around five I asked mom why do the others avoid us she jumped a bit at the question but quickly regained her composure I still noticed it but ignored it.

Well.... she paused trying to think of the right words ..it's just that they don't trust my other 

blood..... 

she paused again ...we are at war with the humans and because I'm half human they don't trust me they don't hate us they are just weary of us.

She seemed satisfied with the way she described it to me as she picked me up and said now the most important thing to take away from this is that they don't hate us.

'-'.....

(Ok)

Ok mom

(Good now do you want to help me get some carrots for dinner)

Yes please

That day I learned that the elves were at war with the humans she later told me that not all humans were bad as well as them not all being good.

(infact a human lives in that tower over there)

she said pointing at a tall stone tower far off in the distance.

Now I did not have the best eyes or really anything in my new body but I know a wizard tower when I see one.

Can we go see him I asked 

You are reading story Reborn to learn magic at novel35.com

(No nonono that is way to far and if I remember you hate walking)

She gave me a cheeky knowing smile

But...but I will really really try I won't complain at all I pleaded giving my best puppy dog eyes.

(Sigh....ok how about this when you turn ten I will walk with you to the tower and we can see if the human wants to talk how do you like the sound of that)

I love it thanks mom

(No problem sweetie)

If only I knew she would never be able to walk me there.

Life continued on like normal I was around six when I started helping my mother with the garden

Now i was not very smart in my past life i had little to no life skills I mean I am competent in art

But that can't really be used to eat.

so other then that all I have is a small knowledge of gardening and higher intelligence. 

So when it came to helping my mother other then pushing myself i offered very little other then an extra pair of hands.

But hey it help us gain more money we had managed to gain enough money to fix the house up a bit.

When I turned seven my mother bought me a toy it was a small wood duck that could Rock back and forth it was nice.

Not the coolest toy but when you lost everything and had close to nothing a toy duck is something amazing.

I had fun playing with it passing time with it when my mother would go out at night sometimes.

I may have been mentally older then seven at the time but I was still terrified of dying and those thoughts still give me panic attacks when they overwhelmed me.

One day I found a book on the ground in a alley in town and took it home with me and hid it my mother found out soon after and took it back to town with me to return it.

We found the owner later in the day and he thanked us for returning it i had managed to look at a page but I didn't know how to read it.

After he thanked us he offered some money to my mother she was going to refuse it but took a glance at me and took the money from the man after that we want home and went to bed.

Then I was shaking awake by my mother as I opened my eyes and looked at her face I saw that she was scared and sweating.

(Honey we have to go)

Wha....what....

(No time we have to go....NOW)

She yelled

After that I got up and went to get dressed but she grabbed me and said.

(No time get you shoes on)

After that I quickly grabbed my shoes and put them on after that my mother grabbed me and ran out of our shack.

When we did I saw it bright orange light behind us coming towards our home we ran and ran till we made it to town and

(No...nononoo)

The town was also burning and people were running around panicking. 

my mother was trying to make her way through the crowds when she was pushed down by another person trying to get away.

When see was pushed I had fallen out of her arms and hit the ground hard it hurt.......badly.

Panic panic all I hear is panic and screaming as people run around me the smell of smoke filling my nostrils as my home burned around me and all I could think was how I got here....

Snaping out of the trance I focused on trying to find my mother I started running sneak though the crowds ducking under legs and dodging wild kicks of panicking people.

As I made my way through I started to notice that people had stop moving as I got close to the front I stopped I saw eight men in armor on horse's.

The people started to back away when the man in the front swung his sword down and a hail of arrows came from the darkness.

Blood splashed my face as a corpse fell on me i was frozen scared as more people fell to the volley of arrows as blood had started to pool around me.

I heard the *crunch* *pops* and *snaps* of body's getting crushed by horse hooves.

As I laid there I used all my mental strength to not cry as the sounds got closer pop pop crunch

Pop pop crunch snap I hoof landed right in front of my face I tensed up refusing to look up.

It felt like years before the hoof moved and continued on.

I stayed like that till sun up when I finally couldn't take it and had to get up as I tried to get up slowly pushing the body off of me and when I did I made the second worst I would ever make.

I looked across the sea of corpses and could see everything that happened....then my mind clicked and I thought one word mom.
