Episode One "Five & Roxy's Introduction To Their New World"

Ordinary teens, Five and Roxy, were on their way to school when a purple magic circle, with a darker shade of purple as the outline, appeared from under them. “What’s happening?” shouted Roxy as the ground began to shake.

“It’s a magic circle!” Five shouted.

“Five! Help me!” Roxy shouted as her body began to disappear, pixel by pixel. Five’s jaw fell open as he watched Roxy’s body completely disappear. Five then looked down at his body and watched in sheer terror as his body began the same process. Within a minute, both teenagers disappeared with their screams being muffled. The memories of them disappeared from everybody’s mind. They were soon forgotten as if they never existed.

The teenagers were teleported to a new world, surrounded by elves. “Who are you?” Roxy blurted out, directed to the elves surrounding them. Roxy looked to her side and noticed Five. “Five, where are we?”

“Huh?” Five muttered, his head couldn’t stop spinning. He looked up at the elves and noticed their qualities---long and pointy ears, bow wielders, and pale skin. “Elves?” He said out loud.

“What are elves?”

“There is a fantasy race that lives in the forest and is known to be wary of humans and can talk to the spirits of the forest.” Five explained.

“How do you know about our ability to speak to spirits?” One of the elves, a very muscular and tall elf, asked him. He had blond hair and dark blue eyes, a bow attached to his back.

“We’re from a different world.” Five told them.

“Wait, what is going on?” Roxy asked, still confused.

“A different w-world?” The elf asked.

“It’s true, Father. I saw them appear out of nowhere.” A younger elf declared. The younger elf looked to be around Five and Roxy’s age and had the same features as her father.

“Lexiss?” He calmly stated. “Are you sure about that?”

“Yes, they must be from a different world. Look at their clothing! I’ve never seen that type of human clothes before. Also, the barrier doesn’t allow any humans in without our permission.” Lexiss declared.

“She’s right,” said another elf.

“Fine, then take them to the chief’s house.” The first elf declared. Two elves wielding spears nodded before grabbing the teenagers and dragged them towards the village chief’s house. Once there, the two teenagers met the chief of the village, Elas. Elas looks similar to the first elf and Lexiss, but he looked, considerably, worn out and older than the others. Elas used a cane to walk and his back curled, slightly.

“These two are from a different world?” Elas asked.

“Yes, village chief.” The first elf answered.

“Menzo, these two have not been deemed as intruders?”

“That is correct,” Menzo, the first elf, responded.

“Then, we should allow them to stay here, for now.” Elas declared.

“Village chief! Allowing humans to stay in the elven territory? That is absurd!” Menzo shouted, clenching his fists.

“These two have immeasurable power within them. They will be important in the war against the Rockshin tribe. Our force isn’t strong enough to defend our territory.”

“But-” Menzo started.

Elas picked up his cane and slammed it down on the floor. “We are being picked off one by one!” He shouted. “Tomorrow, we’ll begin their training.”

Menzo looked down at the floor before kneeling. “If that’s your order, village chief,” Menzo stated. He then stood up and departed the house, spreading the news of Elas’ decision.

“Well, I’ll see to it that you’ll enjoy your time,” Elas told the teenagers.

“Five, what is going on?” Roxy whispered.

“Well, apparently, we were just accepted by the village chief. Oh, and we have some type of power within us. Tomorrow, we’ll be beginning training for our powers to defeat some enemy tribe or something.” Five told her.

“So, we’ll be treated as weapons more than people?” Roxy asked.

“That may be true.” He whispered back. He then looked up at Elas, who watched them as they had their conversation. “Village chief, will we be used as weapons?”

“Call me Elas. As for your use in this village, you won’t be restricted as weapons. Your power is necessary to defend our territory, but after that, you will be given the freedom to leave the village and explore the human territory. Think about your training as a way to get stronger.”

“As long as we are allowed to leave after destroying your enemy,” Roxy told Elas.

“You will. Now… are you ready?”

“Well, school life was boring, so I’m ready.” Five said.

“Ugh, fine. I can’t let Five do it by himself.” Roxy said. Now the two teenagers were taken in within the village of elves. They’ve become adoptive human-elves.

Episode Two "Rockshin Tribe Part One"

The two are being trained by Menzo to use a weapon. Five is better at using a dagger while Roxy has skill with a sword. Menzo’s daughter, Lexiss, is also helping the two train. “It seems like Roxy can use three elements,” Lexiss stated. “What are they?” Roxy asked. “Earth, water, and light.” She responded. “What about me?” Five asked. “Only two elements. Fire and wind.” She told him. “Oh, okay.” He said. “Now it’s time to train you in using your magic.” Menzo declared. “The first basic skill that I can teach both of you is ‘Mana Concentration’ since it’s the first skill you must master before using any magic,” Menzo announced. “All you need to do is concentrate and focus on moving the mana around your body. Start circulating the mana until it’s flowing naturally. Once you do then you’ll be able to use magic.” Menzo explained. “Okay, now try it,” Lexiss told the two. Five sat on the floor concentrating with Roxy following him.  “What are you doing?” She asked him. “I saw it in a manga. I need to adjust the mana to allow for it to flow naturally.” He said. He started adjusting the mana in his body. Roxy did the same and soon they both finished the first step by allowing for the mana to flow naturally. “Next, since you both have different element attributes, we’ll split up and both my daughter and I will be teaching you separately.” He announced. He then inched closer to Five and whispered: “And you’ll be getting me, so throw away those thoughts you have about my daughter!” “Of course, sir.” Five said as he stood frozen. “Well, Lexiss take care of Roxy while I’ll take care of him.” He said with a fake smile. “Okay,” Lexiss said taking Roxy somewhere else to train. “Well, I guess it’s time to train you,” Menzo said with a creepy smile. Five gulped. “Help.” He muttered.

“They’re here!” Somebody shouted. “The Rockshin tribe are here” Another person shouted. “The Rockshin tribe?” Menzo questioned. “Five follow me.” He said rushing to the main entrance of the camp. They got to the main entrance where fifteen Rockshin tribe members were at. “Where is Elas?” One of the Rockshin tribe members shouted. “You’re the Rockshin chief Xoa right?” Menzo asked. “Yes. I wish to talk to Elas before we fight.” Xoa shouted. “You wish for us to be under your control?” Elas said appearing from nowhere. “I do. Will you step aside or will you fight us?” Xoa asked. “I cannot allow my people to be enslaved.” Elas confidently said. “Then we must fight!” Xoa announced. “I guess we do,” Elas responded. “Get ready,” Menso told Five. Xoa and Elas stared at each other both ready to fight. “Now!” Xoa shouted. “Fire!” Elas shouted.

Episode Three "Rockshin Tribe Part Two"

Fifteen Rockshin tribe members stood outside of the village’s entrance. A small handful of elves and Five stood at the entrance to suppress the Rockshins. However, most of the elves lacked the manpower and military strength---leading to Menzo and five male elves being the only defense for the village with Five there for support. He didn’t receive enough training to master any of his skills.

Unfortunately, Roxy and Lexiss were nowhere to be seen. 

Meanwhile, the fifteen Rockshin tribe members had finished their preparations, dashing towards the elves under the order of their leader, pummeling the defenders with sword slashes. The defenders fought back with their wooden bows, launching quivers full of arrows at the attackers. Five assisted in the defending, by utilizing the basic skills he was taught---which was briefly drilled into his mind by Menzo. He cast Fire Arrow, Wind Arrow, and Wind Sword at the Rockshins---putting a dent in their overwhelming numbers. 

While chaos erupted in front of the entrance, Xoa and Elas had begun clashing. Elas revealed a golden spear that had red and blue striped markings wrapped around it. He then muttered something under his breath. 

“Trying to activate a skill, huh? I can’t let you use it.” She declared, revealing her silver throwing knives. She threw them at Elas, interrupting his chant. 

“If that’s how you want to fight, then let’s do it.” He said, throwing his spear at Xoa. She managed to dodge it and sprinted towards him. The spear returned to Elas, somehow teleporting back into his arms. He then threw the spear again at Xoa and barely missed her. The spear returned to his side, allowing him to throw it at Xoa. She couldn’t avoid the attack, puncturing her stomach. 

“Well, I didn’t want to use this, but here it goes,” Xoa whispered. She muttered something under her breath and activated a skill. She dashed towards him, turning invisible, midway.

Where did she go? Elas thought. He then activated a skill, Wind Radar, to search for her. The skill allowed the user to use the wind to track down anyone of the user’s choosing. “She’s not anywhere near me! She’s near Five!”

Meanwhile, Five fought off the attackers with his basic skills. The skills managed to disable a few of the Rocksins. To his advantage, the Rockshins were weak to magic, but they had high pain tolerance. The skills dealt enough damage for Five to lethally take them down. 

None of the elves notice Xoa flanking them aside from Elas. “Five! Watch out! She’s invisible!” He shouted, alarming Five

“How do I deal with that?” He asked out loud. He brandished a wooden dagger and spun around. He couldn’t tell where she was. 

While looking for her, a throwing knife flew through the air and pierced Five in the stomach. Another throwing knife flew, hitting Five in the arm. A third throwing knife
