Here is the version that is corrected from the spellingtroubles and grammaticals wrong that it had. It probably still has some wrongs left that I haven't found yet.
Still hope you all will enjoy reading it.

The Forgotten Elves
In Shadows

Prologue: From a scholar's diary


"Our safe haven is slowly being overrun by the unwilling carriers of the demonic taint. No matter what we do to try and stop the spreading of this evil it's never enough to stop the darkness from seeping in to our life and taint our lives and our inner light.
we fled from our ancient home ages ago to get away from the darkness that was forming in the heart of one of our sister clan's just to find ourselves trapped by the same kind of demonic darkness that our sister clan was willingly tainting it self with.
My own beloved sister who once was our Lord Cailain's seer has been tainted and soon she fell in to madness and had to be killed to protect those who still are untainted by the darkness. My sister’s fate is not one that surprised me, she was determined to learn how to fight the darkness or at least control it and her arrogance had it price. She lost her sanity and life while I lost the only surviving member of my family.
Soon I fear that our clan will be wiped away from the Tree of History and our strings in The Great Weaver's Loom will be cut to never be seen again in the Fabric of Destiny.
I hope that I am wrong about that and that it's only nightmares of a broken elf consumed by bitterness and not a real prediction. Our clan once belonged to a great people, now we hide from shadows and invisible threats. We have even started to watch our fellow elves with mistrust and suspiciousness, anyone can be tainted and if they are then they are a threat.
I, myself has since my sister sad fate isolated myself in my own home with only my books for company. I do this to make sure that the taint my sister inflicted on me will not harm anyone else.
Everyday I feel the taint gain more and more power over me, but I will not let it win over me, I have a plan to make sure that I win over it instead.
I fear that these pages will be the last ones I write, my plan will stop me from writing anymore but it is a sacrifice for greater good as my uncle used to say about our Lord's father’s death to protect our city.
But I still have doubts about my decision, is it the right one or am I making a mistake. But I will not let the doubts stop me now, I will not falter from the path I chosen.
I pray that the gods will be merciful and help my clan to fight the darkness that is trying to destroy us from the inside.
I have put everything in order, I have left a not to my friends so they now what they should do with my books that I have written on the subject of our clan's history. I hope that the books will help the newer generations. My wine this night has something extra in it so I will sleep to never awaken again. I hope it will be enough to stop my taint from spreading. I hope the gods will forgive me for taking this way out but it can not be helped, I refuse to end up like my poor sister and some of my friends.

This is the last pages of Morgain of the Silver Dragon clan, Scribe and scholar to Lord Cailain.
May they be of some help to somebody else."

Chapter 1: The Daughter

Inara stared down at the floor while she waited for her father to be done with his work and turn his attention towards her. She wondered why he had sent for her, she hadn't pulled any pranks for awhile and she hadn't misbehaved as far as she knew. The last prank she pulled was a month ago on her cousin. A ghost of a smile swept by on her face when she remembered the prank and her cousins reaction but then the smile disappeared when she remembered that her cousin had been tainted with the demonic darkness just two weeks after that particular prank and that his child body and mind couldn't fight it and he had to be killed not long after that. Inara could still hear her aunt's screams in her head when it was clear that Cernin had to be killed in order to protect those who lived in the palace. She sighed sadly, she missed her cousin, he had been the only friend she had since he was the only one her father allowed her to play with.
Her father moved and suddenly stood infront of her. She looked up at his face to try and see what kind of mood he was in but his face didn't show anything of what he thought nor what his mood was. Once again she wondered why he sent for her since he rarely had time for her and often that was when she had misbehaved in some ways. Inara looked down at her feet waiting for her father to speak. He didn't say anything but put a finger under her chin and turned her face up and looked at her with a kind smile.
"You don't have to look so worried Little Fire flower. I have not sent for you because you did something wrong daughter." Her father said and released her. She meet his gaze and gathered her courage to ask why he had sent for her, if it was for something she had done.
"Then why did you send for me father?" Inara manage to ask after a while.
Her father stared at her as if he tried to find out if she was strong enough to hear what he had to say.
"I have decided that it is time for you to start your schooling in what your duties are as my heir and what kind of duties you will have if anything happens to me and I can't be here for some reason." Her father answered softly.
Inara swallowed and looked at him.
"Like with Cernin?" She said with a small voice and tears started to form in her eyes.
"Yes My Fire flower, just like Cernin or something else happens that takes me away from this life." Her father said gently.
"No you can't leave. I won’t let you." Inara cried out and threw her arms around her father’s waist and cried in to his robes.
The lord of the Silver Dragon clan looked down at his daughter’s head that was at the same height as his stomach and put one arm around her and put his other hand on her head and started to stroke her red hair comfortingly. She had always seemed so fragile, so much like her mother.
He had tried to protect her from everything that might have been able to hurt her but with the death of his sister’s son he realized that his need to protect her from the world only would hurt her in the end if anything happened to him.
"I don't plan on leaving in anyway but the fates have ways to destroy ones plans and I want to make sure you will be ready if anything really happens to me." He told her calmly and kept up with the comforting strokes over her hair.
Inara sniffled a bit and released him from the death grip she had him in the she took a step back from him.
He gave her a comforting smile and dried her tears.
"Tomorrow your new schooling and training will start but the rest of today and this evening your old father is all yours and I promise that the advisors and the council members have been told to leave us alone and not interrupt our time together." He said and gave her a soft smile.
Inara started to smile back at him, the chance to spend some hours with her father without interruptions from his duties was not something that happened often so Inara would be a fool to say no to it.
"Will you tell me stories about mother?" She asked excitedly.
"Haven't you heard everything I know about your mother by now?" Her father asked with a laugh.
"I don't mind hearing them again." She said and grabbed his hand and started to drag him from the throne room. Her father just chuckled and let her have her way.
