"see that? the solar flares are coming. that is a sign. he will be with us soon." The Oracle had said this centuries ago. Now, as Sven read these words in the enclosed Attic above the cafe, he new it was true. The human race had long since forgotten this ancient lore, but he hadn't. He wasn't even entirely human. More Elf-like in nature though he looked human. His ears slightly pointed, and parted straight black hair. He was still a child of 10. But he knew that this was true. Because he had just witnessed a seen of utmost proportion, and was rushing down the fire escape to get a better view.

The door to the driver's side of the lotus ESPRIT had just shut, With a shadowy figure emerging from the wreckage. His hands were up, the symbol of peace to the strange planet known as earth. The figure was at least 17, though his height told otherwise. The police were immediately in a line to prevent escape. The figure smirked, so predictable this pathetic race was.
"open Fire!" the order was given, and the figure seemed to have vanished. "What the hell?" the firing continued. Fools, he had not vanished, simply dodged all the bullets and caught them momentarily in his hands. The firing stopped. "Alright, then. Why hasn't the vehicle been riddled with bullets?" questioned the captain, inspecting the wreckage.
"Because, my friend, you were shooting at me"the figure reappeared behind the force of GI Police."My name is Eolia, but you should already know that. now then, practice your aim. you dropped something." Eolia then scattered the shrapnel along the line of policemen, taking careful aim not to kill the captain.

Just then a child emerged from the fire escape, probably 10, and ran up to Eolia. Not even up to his chest. Quite short, he'll have to do. He wrapped his arm around Sven to protect. "See what you've done? You humans are all the same. Ignorant. You think everything different or unkown is a threat. look! you frightened this poor kid. I have a message for you to give your commanding officer. tell him that Eolia N. Gain has come to cleanse this world. The Officer quickly obeyed, glad to be alive. Little did Eolia know, that someone had already known this, and she was watching from a nearby cafe.

Please know that i have done my best to recollect the following conversation from the cafe between the girl that was watching Eolia, and her partner.

"You see? Told you he'd come."
"I'm telling you, he's the wrong one. trust me, i'd know the real Eolia's face anywhere!"
"but you're from a different planet. You've never been here, and this place can be a bit trippy on the eyes." She said casually.
"but Alice. This can't be him, the Eolia i know would never do that, he would have just came, cleansed the area after a timefreeze, and leave. Done."
"well, love, maybe your creation has took on a mind of his own."
"yes, perhaps he has"
And with that, the conversation was over, and they continued to dine.


"Hey kid, what's your name?" Eolia asked as he was trying to repair his ESPRIT. "Dammit!"
"Sir, are you hurt?"
"know, just hate these stupid cars, heh." Eolia responded "you still havent told me your name."
"Its Sven, sir." Sven answered
"Just Sven? Elvish lore if i'm not mistaken. Do you have any family?"
"No, they were killed, or rather murdered by the government."
Eolia smiled. "that should do it," he said standing up "so Sven, no family, no hope of surviving on your own for a while, why not come with me, you could prove useful."
Sven silently agreed. Steeling table scraps and reading fairy tales wouldn't keep alive forever.
"pardon my asking, sir, but why didn't you just repair the car using magick?
"okay first, stop calling me sir, kid. i don't like titles. And second, because i can not use it. i have to go to the Pole of Inaccessibility to recharge, so as i may purge this planet of darkness. The magick you just saw was easy, full charge on simple fairy magick was what it was. but i can't repair."
"may i try?"
"sure kid knock yourself out... ... or rather, don't"
Sven immediately magicked the car to its original state. brand new. fully restored.
"wow"Eolia just stood there"um.. thanks. but-"
"how?" finished Sven. "Taught myself the ancient fairy magicks from my book of Lore. I got it from my father. before he died." he concluded sadly.
"sorry kid." Eolia said sympathetically."but come on, get in the car so we can get rid of this government. the planet can wait"
"you mean it?" Sven looked up questioningly.
Eolia squatted to the kneeling Sven's level. "kid, do i look like a liar? Cause im not. i know exactly how it feels when someone close dies. come on. get in the car and lets go."
