《Metamorphosis》Explanation
Advertisement
I was taken to a huge room with tastefully basic furnishings. The only pieces of furniture were a couch, tea table, bed, and dresser, all of which appeared to have been made by skilled woodworkers by hand. I entered the room, shut the door behind me, undressed, and immediately went to the restroom.
A wonderful surprise, the shower was a straightforward cascade that appeared to flow naturally from the ceiling and drain back out on the floor.
However, the never-ending stream of water was unexpectedly nice to the touch and at precisely the right temperature to calm my body and pores. I finished dressing into a white very smooth robe that enveloped all of my body.
I got really lucky to end up being a friend of Ava, I didn't know that she was the princess of the elves, thanks to her after 1 month, I think.
I finally sleep in a bed...
I'm in a massive room, even more significant than the room I had in my home, thinking of what happened there just feeds my will for revenge against Clemence.
I move my stare the door hearing it opening, it was my teacher that helps me learn the elven language.
That's right, I got assigned a mentor that made me learn the elven language.
"Good morning." The elf exclaimed while he was looking at some textbook.
Staring at him I say, "Good morning..."
I learned already some words from Ava, from my knowledge I think that elves are not in good relations, I knew it the moment the guards stared at me with disgust.
Could it be because they sell and kidnap elves to sell them? Though I don't think that only humans are trading slaves.
My teacher sits on a chair and says "Let's start the lesson."

Hours pass and finally he concludes, I feel relaxed as I heard the best phrase of him out of his mouth, "Lesson ended, The next lesson will be at the same time as this one." he says while staring at me in monotony exiting from the room.
I start to jump with joy before a maid opens the door and looks at me embarrassed.
"The... King and queen asked for you to come to eat with them," she says.
I blush caught off-hand, and she gestures me to follow her. After some awkward minutes of walking together, we arrive at a
rectangular dining table and I see the king and the queen, as I look better there is Ava next to the queen, she stared blankly at the table after she saw me, her eyes were full of light.
The king gestures me to sit in a chair, as I sit in I glance at the door and see my teacher walking next to the king.
"The king wants to ask you some questions, which I will traduce just like I will traduce what you say." My teacher says.
With both his elbows relaxing on the table the King was the first to speak, after he ended speaking my teacher traduce what he said
"Kid. What did you say your name was?”
When I heard the tone he spoke to me I looked at him normally trying to not seem angry.
"Elizabeth, Elizabeth Windhorn." I try to speak maintaining my expression.
Regaining composure, the King continued.
My teacher started to translate, “It looks like you are experienced in magic. My name is William Ashton and this is my wife, Emma Ashton. As for what occurred, please describe it to us. We want to listen to your side of this.”

I started telling the story. I explained to them how I ended up in the forest; I just told them I had become separated from my family after getting raided by other nobles, and I was lucky enough to survive.
One of the guards was arguing with me and demanding evidence that I was a mage when Ava's father abruptly interrupted. Then, with a renewed, unsettling attention, he glanced at me while clasping his hands together on the table.
I quickly continued by explaining that I had seen a carriage and seen someone load a restrained youngster into it before leaving.
The King glared menacingly at them and slammed both of his fists down on the table.
As I start to tell them about how I fought the slave traders he asked more questions. I explained how I fought those bandits, what type of magic I used, and if I used a weapon.
They looked all moved about how I ended up here, and grateful that I saved the princess.
So I make enough confidence to ask them, "Can I stay for some time here?" I said that while flushing, I hate asking things like this, it's pitiful.
Most of the guards and even my teacher looked perplexed for a request like this, the elves are in bad rapports with the human, even if I knew this I wanted to try asking them.
When William heard my teacher translate his expression turned from serious to a soft one.
"You can stay--" my teacher speaks, "For one condition." As soon as I heard 'for one condition" my expression fell off.
"You need to train with Ava." My face turns from an anxious one to one of happiness, I could stay here with the only friend I had for now in this world for only training with her.
Unexpectedly Ava runs up to me and embraces me in her arms. All the people in the room panic while I try to make her tighten less her hug.

I only recommend it for the fans who are not faint of heart. This work will contain swears, violence and occasional sexual dialogue. With that fair warning done, I plan to constantly edit previous chapters as I go back to them, so they are all subject to change over time. Most of the events will remain the same but as I get more time to write I'd like to add details that I couldn't add while constrained for time. Thank you for taking the time to check out Monolith! Really appreciate it. Hope you enjoy it and look forward to the upcoming events!
