Sirius sat, crouched on a tree branch looking out into the forest. It was dark, around midnight, the moon's glow cut through the trees like a knife as the grass and plants glistened in the light. The young elf's eyes peered through the night as he surveyed his surroundings. He was in the dense Alteron forest, territory to the elfs. The trees stood tall, towering over the wild life that scurried across the ground which was littered with large, luscious plants and bushes. Sirius was a scout, his job was to petrol a large area around the main city of Alteron, the elf's capital, and make sure there were no bandits, dangerous creatures, or other hostile life that could make its way into the city. To other elfs this job would be seen as an unflattering and looked down upon line of work, as the job has you climb through dirty parts of the forest and risk your life against monstrous creatures.
There had been a total of 11 scout deaths in just the matter of a year, which was quite a large number compared to other jobs. Sirius was also part of a royal family in Alteron, that meant he could have had the opportunity to be a Royal Archer, the highest honor there was to the elf people. But the young boy wanted to be with nature and the wild life and a scout was the only option he had to do so. Currently the elf was on a mission given to him by the House Baron, The king of Alteron. There had been rumors of something in the woods, something mysterious and possibly dangerous. People were saying it was probably a Demon and that it should be killing for trespassing, but Sirius brushed those comments off as mindless hatred, seeing as elfs and demons had been at war for the past decade now. His only job was to find out what was in the forest and if dangerous, try to scare it off.
