Midgard - Letters of Elysium

Prologue

My friend, lie yourself in the grass and let me tell you a story... of Elyria, a promised land in the world called Midgard.

Once, there was a young boy who dreams to become a messenger in order to help his uncle.

That boy was Zion Strauss, he is 7 years old and he has tiny wings on his back. He is believe to be one of Divine tribesmen. His uncle has wings too, but not as big as an angel's wings. Zion has shiny light blond hair and a purple right eye. His left eye was covered by his bangs for it was damaged.

He lived once in Crepusculum Village living alone with his father. His mother died giving birth to him.

Many years later, his father died due to a serious illness. He wept harder and cannot accept his father's death.

Suddenly, he heard that his father's friend Nicanorus will take the place as Elyria's new ruler. He doubted it for he was too young to understand.

What are the things his father is trying to tell him?

My dear friend, don't ask me. You will find out how this story goes.

A story of magic and love that will bring you to Heaven...

The story is about to begin...

"Uncle!" Zion called his uncle.

"What is it, Zion?" said his uncle.

"Can I have my dinner now? I'm hungry."

"Sure, son."

Uncle gave Zion a bowl of soup. While eating, Zion is reading a book about Elyria, Midgard, and the Hive. He was inspired at the story. A letter guardian and a messenger saved the day.

"Wow!" he happily said looking at the pictures. "They are awesome! The messenger here looks just like me!"

Later, he noticed the girl at the book with the messenger. He wondered who is the girl.

"I admit, she is pretty," he said. "I want to know her name, but the book didn't tell their names. If that messenger here is also named Zion, I will be impressed."

He finished the soup and washed himself. He told his uncle that he will go to bed and rest.

Zion is still reading the book while lying on his bed.

"Someday, I will become a messenger just like the boy in the story," he said to himself. "And I hope that I would meet that girl someday."

He fell asleep later.

One night, he found himself on Melva City, one of the cities in Elyria on the east.

"Where am I?" he said. "Could it be...?"

He gasped with joy seeing the surroundings.

"I know this place!" again he said. "This is Melva City... from the book I have read!!"

Later, he noticed himself that he had grown up. He is wearing a white tuxedo and a black bonnet. He is carrying a bag.

Suddenly, he noticed a girl wearing the uniform of the letter guardians at Midgard Headquarters.

"She is the girl I've been looking for!" Zion said and called the girl. "Miss!! Wait!!"

The girl turned around.

But one day, a noise startled Zion. He found himself lying on his bed and still a small child.

"Aw! It's only a dream!" he said disappointedly. "At least I saw the girl... even only in my dreams. But sadly, I didn't ask her name yet."

At breakfast, he told his uncle what happened in his dream. He told him everything about Melva City and how did he grew up so fast.

"Melva City is real, son," his uncle said. "Your auntie and I have been there when we were young."

"Really?" Zion said very amazed. "Is Midgard Headquarters real, too?"

"Yes. Your grandpa used to work there as the chief major. Now he has retired and someone replaced him. I don't know the new chief major though."

"Grandpa is awesome! I want to become like him too!"

"Study hard so you can reach your dreams. At the age of 12, you will be able to apply at the headquarters and become a member of Midgard."

"I promise uncle. I will not let you down."

Zion hugged his uncle tight.

And so, Zion studied hard at school. He excelled at many subjects and he got higher grades. He is willing to become a messenger.
