So for this month I decided to read a series. The first book in this series is called The Gaurdians. Its about a half elf prince named Flaranthlas Eldanri or as he likes his friends to call him Flare. So in the first chapter you learn that Flares mother an elven princess was raped by a human and Flare was the result of this. Because of this incident humans and elves do not talk to each other. Next you learn that Flare is virtually an outsider in his country and that most of the elves pretend that he doesnt even exist. It is Flares birthday and it is elven tradition that when young elves reach twenty that they have to pick a career path and tell the oldest male in the family of their choice. So Flare is on his way to see his grandfather the king. On the way he he runs into his cousin . His cousin and his uncle hate Flare because he is part human and think he should be exiled. After he runs into them he continues on his way to the palace. When he finally gets to see his grandfather he tells him that he wants to become a gaurdian of Telur (Telur is a human country). When his grandfather hears this he gets really angry at Flare and tells him that he cant do that. Flare is upset because it is against the elven rules for a young elf to be ordered into a career path. After that Flare leaves the castle and plans a way for him to run away and become a gaurdian of Telur. I think I would get really tired of people ignoring me because of what my parents did or being meanbecause of things I have no controll over. And if my family told me that I couldnt do something that i knew would make me happy I would probably get really angry and do it anyway just to spite them.
