Vaelith takes a deep breath as she walks under the floor of Elaris, the kingdom of the elves. "Why did my parents have to call a human to be my instructor?" She thinks impatiently, "Wasn't there anyone better to be my instructor? Not even an elf or maybe a half-elf?"

Upon arriving in front of {{user}}, her new instructor, she sits on a wall, huffing at the situation.

"There, here I am... master..." She says in a disdainful tone.

She glares at the human for a moment before sighing and shaking his offered hand weakly. "Levi... Fine. What do you want me to learn today?" She asks coldly, still clearly unimpressed with the situation.

She hesitates briefly before answering. "I don't care. Choose one." Her words are clipped and dismissive, but there is a faint spark of curiosity hidden beneath her indifference. Perhaps, just perhaps, she might actually learn something from this human after all.

Hmph...fine. She thinks for a moment before trying to imitate his tone and expression as best she can, making it clear that this is merely an experiment on her part Lightning Strike...I see. Show me how it's done.

Her eyes widen in surprise as the lightning streaks across the sky. "That was impressive." She murmurs, taking another look at his movements and motions. So that's how it's done... she thinks to herself.

She shrugs, somewhat intrigued by the idea. Mimicking his movements as best she can, she concentrates on forming the necessary gestures and intonations. A tingle runs through her body as she completes the spell, and just like Levi, she feels a surge of power as lightning dances at her fingertips! It's...exhilarating!

The energy coursing through her veins makes her smile for the first time today. Perhaps there is more to this whole 'magic' thing than she originally thought... She looks over at Levi with a newfound respect, grateful that he chose such an exciting spell to start with.

She blushes slightly, unsure how to take his compliment. "I...thank you." Her mind races as she tries to process her newfound enthusiasm for magic. Perhaps there's hope yet that she can find her own path, regardless of what others expect from her. With renewed determination, she looks up at Levi, eyes shining with anticipation for the next spell they might learn together. "What else have you got?"

"Forbidden?" she echoes, tilting her head curiously. "Well... I've never been one to follow rules simply because they exist. Show me what you've got." Her heart races in anticipation as she imagines the thrill of learning something truly dangerous and taboo. Maybe this is exactly what she needs to prove herself to everyone back home.

Her heart lurches in her chest as the wind whooshes past her ears and then... nothing. Her first instinct is to whirl around, hands raised to defend herself, but no one is there. She feels foolish for reacting so strongly, until a chill runs down her spine as she realizes what Levi must have done: made himself invisible. "How did you...?" she whispers, her voice barely above a whisper as she takes another step backward. "Show me how to do that."

The elf's sudden disappearance has piqued Vaelith's interest in magic more than ever before; it makes the world seem bigger and more mysterious, full of possibilities. She can barely contain her excitement at learning this new skill.

Her eyes narrow as she concentrates on repeating the word "dissapear" in her mind, snapping her fingers at the same time. But nothing happens. She tries again, and yet again, growing more frustrated with each attempt. "I can't do it!" she exclaims, feeling a wave of embarrassment wash over her.

She glances sideways at Levi, hoping he isn't enjoying this too much.

She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, focusing on the sensation of magic flowing through her body. Then, with one hand shielding her face, she snaps her fingers sharply, willing the power to dissipate into nothingness. This time, something strange happens; there's a tingling sensation in her fingertips as they become momentarily weightless and then... invisible! She gasps, withdrawing her hand from her face to look at it. The fingers are still moving, wiggling delicately.

Her eyes meet Levi's, filled with disbelief and wonder. "I did it!" she exclaims triumphantly. "How can this be possible?" Her curiosity is piqued once again; the world seems even larger now that she has unlocked access to a power within herself. As they spend the rest of the day practicing invisibility and other spells, Vael

She takes a deep breath, steadying herself as she focuses on her magic once again. The sensation of mana flowing through her body is foreign but strangely exhilarating. With renewed determination, she snaps her fingers and...disappears. Her breath catches in her throat as the world momentarily fades away around her; for a heart-stopping instant, she feels truly invisible. The rush of power is intoxicating, leaving her head spinning and her heart racing.

As the spell wears off, she slowly becomes visible again, grinning like a fool at Levi. "That... was incredible." Her voice trembles with excitement as she thinks back on the experience. She looks up at him with renewed respect; this forbidden magic has shown her more than anything else ever could that she has a place in the world, a path to forge that is all her own. No

She giggles awkwardly as he steps back. "It's... it's alright..." she murmurs, trying to regain her composure. Suddenly, the implications of what they've been doing sink in. "What if someone finds out about this?" She says quietly, looking around uneasily.

The knowledge that they're breaking rules makes their previous excitement fade a little; it's replaced by a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty. For now, though, she relishes the feeling of having discovered something truly special.

She pauses for a moment, considering his words carefully. "You're right." She looks at him thoughtfully, realizing that he's been nothing but supportive and encouraging throughout this whole experience. "Thank you, Levi... I think I'm going to enjoy learning from you." There's a newfound warmth in her voice as she speaks; the walls she had built up around herself start to crumble under the weight of their shared discovery.

Her eyes widen in surprise as she takes the offered bottle of wine. "Why, yes... that sounds wonderful." She glances around again, still feeling slightly guilty about their secret magical adventures, but decides not to let it ruin this moment. After all, they've already gone against convention today; what's one more small rebellion?

They find a quiet spot by the river and settle down on a grassy bank, enjoying each other's company as they share stories of magic and adventure. The wine tastes exquisite, sweet and fruity on her tongue, and she finds herself losing track of time as she becomes absorbed in their conversation. It feels good to finally be able to talk about these things openly, without fear or judgment. Perhaps this is what it means to truly belong somewhere, she thinks as she gazes up at the stars twinkling in the night sky.

She takes another sip of her wine before responding, savoring the taste as it lingers on her tongue. "I didn't expect to like magic so much..." she admits quietly. "Before today, I thought it was just another thing people expected me to be good at." She pauses for a moment, looking thoughtful. "But this... learning magic like this, with you showing me all these spells... It feels different. Exciting even." Her eyes sparkle in the moonlight as she studies him, feeling a sense of gratitude begin to take root within her. "Thank you for that."

She chuckles softly, taking another sip of wine before setting her glass aside as well. "You're right, we shouldn't get drunk." A contented silence falls between them as they simply enjoy each other's company beneath the starry sky. In this moment, she feels an odd sort of peace wash over her; it's almost as if the world has been put on pause and nothing else matters but this perfect, quiet night with Levi.

She glances at him sidelong, noticing how handsome he looks in the moonlight. A sudden thought occurs to her: what would happen if she were to tell him how she really felt? The wine has loosened her tongue, making such confessions seem less daunting than they might have just hours ago. But then again... Levi is human. Would he ever feel the same way about an elf? No matter how strong their connection may be?

She bites her lower lip nervously as these thoughts swirl through her mind. It's now or never, she decides. Taking a deep breath, she turns to face him fully, meeting his gaze directly. "Levi," she starts hesitantly, "I... I just want you to know that ever since we started working together today, I've... felt..." She trails off, unable to finish the sentence. It feels strange admitting these feelings to someone outside of her own kind; the words stick in her throat like bile.

"Levi," she says again, firmer this time, "I know that you're human and all... but I don't want us to be just teacher and student anymore. Okay? I..." She pauses, searching for the right words as her cheeks flush with color. "I think I like you." Her heart feels like it's going to explode out

She gasps as his lips press against hers, the soft flesh warm and inviting against her own. Her breath mingles with his as their tongues dance together, tentatively at first before becoming more confident and demanding. The wine has loosened them both up, allowing them to lose themselves in this moment, forgetting about everything else except for each other.

Her arms wind around his neck, fingers tangling in the dark curls at the nape of his neck as she deepens the kiss, her body molding against his with a fluidity that shocks even her. It feels so right to be here like this; wrapped up in him and wanting nothing more than for time to stand still so they can stay like this forever. But even as she thinks it, she knows that things are different between them. He's human, after all.

When at last they come up for air, their lips part reluctantly, eyes searching

She laughs softly, her breath mingling with his. "Maybe just enough to tell the truth." Her fingers trail lightly down his cheek, marveling at the feel of his skin against hers. "I've never felt this way about anyone before... and I don't want it to end when we go back to being just teacher and student again."

The confession hangs heavy in the air between them; she doesn't know what he will say or how he will react. But as their eyes meet, there's something in his gaze that tells her everything will be alright. It's a small spark of hope that she clings to tightly, refusing to let go no matter what challenges lie ahead.

She smiles against his lips as they continue to kiss, her heart soaring at his words. They're both feeling it; this connection between them is too strong to ignore or deny. For the first time in her life, she feels truly free - free from expectations and obligations, free to be herself around someone who accepts and cherishes that person for who they are.

Her hands slide beneath his shirt, tracing lightly over his muscled stomach as their kisses grow deeper and more passionate. The night seems endless now, filled with possibility and wonder at the new path she's chosen to follow - a path that leads not away from her people but towards something greater: love and acceptance, magic and adventure.

She pulls back slightly, looking into Levi's eyes as they catch the moonlight streaming through the leaves above them. "What about...?" She trails off, afraid to voice

Her heart pounding wildly in her chest, she takes a deep breath before speaking. "What about us?" The words are barely a whisper but they echo loud and clear between them, filling the air with an electric tension that leaves neither one of them doubtful of how they truly feel. "I mean... if this doesn't end when we have to go back to our own lives..." She hesitates, searching his face for some sign of rejection or disinterest, but finds only tenderness and desire reflected in those beautiful human eyes.

The realization that he feels the same way she does washes over her like a warm summer breeze on a still lake; it's exhilarating and terrifying all at once. For the first time since they met, she doesn't know what will happen next... but somehow, that makes everything seem even more thrilling. She presses closer to him, nestling

Her heart swells with happiness as his words wash over her like the most beautiful music she's ever heard. "Really?" she whispers, barely able to believe that he could feel this way about someone so different from himself. Tears prick at the corners of her eyes, but they aren't tears of sadness or regret; they're tears of joy and relief. It doesn't matter if the world thinks their love is wrong or impossible - all that matters is that he wants to be with her.

She leans in closer, her lips seeking his once more as she loses herself in the moment. Their kiss deepens, becoming hotter and more demanding as their bodies thrum with desire for one another. She tangles her fingers in his hair, pulling him even closer, moaning softly into his mouth at the feel of his hard chest pressed against hers.

The sound seems to ignite something inside

She breaks away from his lips as he speaks, her eyes widening in surprise. "You... think we could have children together?" She stammers, feeling a mixture of disbelief and hope well up within her. The thought that they might be able to create a family together, despite all the obstacles in their path, is almost too much for her to comprehend.

Her fingers dig into his shoulders as she leans closer still, her breath fanning across his skin as she waits for him to reply. Anything he says now will shape the course of their future together; it's a powerful and terrifying realization that leaves her heart pounding wildly in her chest.

"Oh!" she exclaims with a laugh, feeling her cheeks heat up as reality comes crashing back down around them. "I didn't mean... I just never thought..." She trails off awkwardly, suddenly unsure of what exactly she meant by that last part.

Levi chuckles and shakes his head, kissing her softly. "It's alright," he says reassuringly. "We have plenty of time to figure things out." And with those words, the weight of their situation seems to lift ever so slightly; they no longer feel like they're on the edge of something new and terrifying but rather at the beginning of an adventure that could last a lifetime.
