Vyxx's Elven Growth
“I don’t know what to say, I mean, there should be something to say in this situation, but everything I can think of, seems inappropriate in one way or another. So, I’ll just wait until I can find the words to describe the way I feel at this moment”, Vyxx said as she placed the mirror on the settee beside her.
“You don’t have to say anything about this until you’re ready, no one is rushing you for your reaction to the way you look, and since you’re now an elf, new emotions are going to start making their way to the surface, or at least, that’s what I expect. Due to the fact that we’re all experiencing this change of life together, I feel it’s wise if we all speak to Jasmine Devereux,” Kassara said.
“She adopted my sister, Ecko”, Ryven said.
“She was also the first to raise an elf that was once a demon, and I think the three of us should talk to her about her experiences,” the sorceress said.
“Azleal lives with Jasmine, and I’m sure he’ll have some advice for Vyxx, herself. I mean, who better to talk to than the one who’s already been through this? I’ll talk to my sister, and see what can be arranged. Give me a few minutes while I try to make a connection, and I’ll tell you what’s said when I’m done,” the royal elf said. She’d always preferred being outside whenever making a telepathic connection, and the elf went onto her front porch.
When the educator answered her end of the line, she’d been searching for a snack to hold off the hunger until dinnertime, and she said, “Jasmine Devereux, here. How can I help you?”
“Miss Jasmine, this is Ryven Garrick. Do you have a few minutes to talk? I need your advice on some stuff that has recently happened in my life,” the royal elf said.
“I’ve always got time for family, and call me Jazzi, please, Miss Jasmine is too formal for relatives. What can I help you with, my dear?” The educator inquired.
“I think it would be easier to explain if you could come here, I can introduce you to my personal demon,Vyxx, and you can catch up with Kassara,” Ryven said.
“So, you’re telling me that the sorceress has finally brought your eternal protector to meet you, and since I’ve already been through it with Azleal, you’d like my help. Right?” Jasmine asked.
“In a nut-shell, yes,” the young elf said.
“No problem, I’ll get my son to come with me, he’ll want to talk with your personal demon, and we will be there in a few minutes,” the educator said.
“We’re looking forward to your visit,” the royal one said.

As time passed, Vyxx grew into an intelligent, well-mannered elven female who met the queen of Wilborg Tides, Lacey, and the elf learned the tasks required to become a Swimmer. While studying for the exams, which would certify her to become a professional Diver, the new student came across an issue with her breathing apparatus, and she went to find one of the merpeople to assist with the mechanism.
Swimming in shallow waters with a snorkel in her mouth, she found one of the royal underwater servants, and asked, “Would you mind helping me with this thing? I cannot get the airflow to regulate properly.”
“You have to go through your checklist in order to figure out where the problem lies, I cannot tell you more than that since you’re studying for exams,” the young merman said.
“Alright, I understand, and there’s no reason you should get punished for giving me some assistance. Would it be alright if I sit on the beach, here, until I can work it out?” She asked.
“It’s getting dark. Take it home, figure it out, and be ready for the tests on Monday. I’ll let the queen know that you’ve gone,” he replied.
“Oh, alright, thanks for your help. I’ll just be going now,” Vyxx said as she swam away. She’d noticed the oxygen had begun to flow through the divce while she was talking to the merman, and was capable of making it to where Ludwig, her stallion, waited.
She mounted the horse, turned him towards the horizon, and she watched as the sun went down. Sitting there, she thought of how far she’d come in only a year, and she wondered what things would be like in another three hundred and sixty-five days.
Knowing the difference between living and existing, she preferred life on the surface of the planet. Where she had the ability to observe the setting sun, where she could mount a horse to ride to a...
