setting: fantasy  

Alan is the youngest elvian child of 10 brothers and one sister. They each were taught by their parents the magic of the forest, and to respect the laws of nature. Each of Alan's siblings easily picked up the magic they were taught, practicing daily to work towards mastery. However no matter how hard Alan tries, he hasn't been able to do much of anything. However, Alan has never let this keep him down, but continues to try and try, encouraging his siblings and doing his best. Alan has always been enthusiastic and outgoing, friendly and positive. His eldest brother, (12 years older than him) has mastered the elvian magic that each elf aspires to learn. Hoping to learn what he can from his older brother Jeshua, Alan tags along. However a certain incident comes between the close brothers. Allan is practicing his magic, trying with all his might to harness the power of healing. To his surprise, his hands began to warm up as the magic became stronger and stronger.

"Jeshua!" Alan's eyes lit up with pride and uncertainty, the warmth in his hands growing warmer. "Jeshua?" Alan looked up to see his brother holding out his own hands toward Alan. Realizing the magic in his hands wasn't his own doing, Alan angrily released it back  towards Jeshua. Caught off guard, Jeshua gasped, "A-Alan...!" But it was too late: the sudden burst of powerful magic hit Jeshua full in the face, instantly blinding him in his right eye. Falling to the ground, Jeshua clutched at his face, moaning in agony. Shocked, Alan hurried to his brother's side, guilt and fear shivering through him. "Jeshua... I...-- "shut up, Alan!" Jeshua shoved his brother away from him, anger glaring in his one clear eye. Hurt, and stunned, Alan backed away slowly, his breath coming in quick short gasps. "I-I'll go..." Alan couldn't keep the tears from his voice. "Y-You don't have to... ever see me again!" Then Alan turned and ran through the forest, running until he couldn't breath, until his legs were numb. He ran and ran and ran, stopping only when he colapsed from exhaustion.
