Valael Speaks

Hello. I am Valael, Elf-Witch and Mixed Blood. I was born Mixed Blood. My parents are Solana, an Elf from the Moon Clan, and Izlal, a Nightwalker from the Guardians. They met before the great Ice Age of Earth and discovered they were mates. (You can read their story in Mixed Blood, a Myths & Legends story.)

I did not grow up with my parents. They were taken captive by a Dark Wizard and I was raised by Lord Elwyndon and Lady Thosaeyrl of the Moon Elves, during the time of Elves on Earth. I love my adoptive parents greatly. Of course, I did not know about being adopted until I was restored to Elf-Kin after many lives as a human.

Needless to say, I was a headstrong child. Not your typical Elfling. I thrived on experiencing new things. I hated being restrained. My favorite thing to do as a child was running with the wolves. There is such freedom in running.

Do not get me wrong, I love Elven society, but sometimes it can be restricting for a free spirit such as I. There is so much decorum once must adhere to when you are the daughter of a Clan leader and High Council. And, unlike the Elves, I willingly showed my emotions. I never understood the reason for stoicism. Maybe it’s because of my Mixed Blood.

As an Elfling and Fledgling, I was always off, following my heart, doing what I wanted to do, much to the chagrin of my parents. They wanted me to be safe. I wanted to be out in the wild, so I went. It was only after my mother’s death that I heeded my father’s admonishments to stay close to the village.

It was such a horrible death. She and another she-elf were out gathering herbs when they were attacked by Orcs. She was stab clear through her body. I tried to save them, but did not arrive in time. I did destroy the Orcs though. I called on lightning and pierced their hearts through. They did not know what hit them!

Then the second war between Dark and Light came. The Elves decided it was time to return to their home world of Paer-Jhysael. But I was born on Earth. I did not want to go to a realm I knew nothing about. I begged my father to let me stay on Earth. Only after making arrangements with the Guardians did he concede to my wishes.

I lived a long and happy life in the Guardian village until my death. I do not remember much about it. It happened so fast and so unexpectedly. After that, I reincarnated as a human over and over, my Elven soul buried deeply, I forgot all about who I really was.

Then, in my last human life, I started having memories of my time as an Elf. This led to other things, and here I am as Valael again (Elf-Witch, Book 2). Of course, as you know if you have read the books, I am embroiled in a third war between dark and light.

Where all of this will lead, only time will tell. Will you join me on my journey as me and my friends battle the forces of Darkness? Do you dare enter the world of the Realm Jumper Chronicles?
