My Elf System

06. Baby Elf’s First Words.



Evelyn’s fingers glowed with a green hue while she smiled and twirled her fingers around in a circle to provide the toy with the movement it needed to escape from her baby’s grasp.

As for Orion, he knew exactly what his mother was trying to achieve, and that was to help him strengthen his muscles and enhance his hand-to-eye coordination.

Still, he was curious as to how his mother was able to make a humanoid toy with just vines after waving her hand a little

He tried to grab the toy, but no matter how hard he tried, the toy always seemed to be one step faster than him. However, he wasn’t angered by this because he knew it was all part of his mother’s training and he noticed how delighted she looked as well that her son took an interest in the little toy she made.

Orion wanted to keep seeing her smile so he decided to play along with what she was expecting of him.

Right now, nothing was more precious to him than the smile of his beautiful elf mother.

However, crawling after the toy for more than fifteen minutes became exhausting for him, especially since he was still getting used to learning how to crawl.

So with this in mind, Orion decided to change his strategy. One way or another, he was determined to grab the toy and examine how it looked and how his mother was able to make it move.

He knew she used magic to make the toy move but he still wanted to have a look at the toy.

Slowly, Orion tried to stand on his feet, surprising both himself and Evelyn at the same time.

‘I know it won’t be easy to stand up on my own since I’m barely even a month old, but I won’t let that stop me,’ He thought to himself.

‘Besides, I’m sure Mama will catch me if I'm ever about to fall.’

Evelyn’s eyes widened as she watched her little baby, trying to stand and walk like an adult, with his goal being to grab his toy.

‘I wonder if he’ll be able to grab his toy on his own,’ She thought with a smile on her face, not wanting to say it out loud and distract her cute little baby.

She gently twirled her fingers again, causing the toy to move extremely slowly this time around while watching intently as Orion closed his distance with the toy.

She increased its speed a bit so that Orion would better understand the complexity of using his two feet to walk on his own.

In a matter of minutes, Orion was able to grab his toy but was about to fall to the ground, however, Evelyn instantly appeared behind her baby, lifting him up with her hands and raising him above her head.

“Well done, sweetie. That was amazing,”

“You were able to grab your toy on your own,” Evelyn rained kisses on his cheeks, causing Orion to giggle before they were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Evelyn didn’t bother to stop what she was doing since she had heard Elena’s footsteps heading towards her room before she knocked on the door.

Elena opened the large bedroom door and stepped into the room just in time to see Orion being kissed on the cheeks by his mother.

A smile quickly formed on her face as she walked over and stretched her arms wide to lift Orion from his mother’s arms.

“Hi, Orion. How have you been?” Elena said in a cute baby voice.

“Auntie has been busy all day long and has missed you ever since she saw you last night.” 

“Did you miss Auntie too?” She rubbed her nose with that of Orion’s, causing him to giggle.

Orion recognized her voice as the elf who visited his mother last night.

She had a similar elf ear just like his mother, making Elena an elf as well.

Since his mother willingly allowed Elena to lift him away from her arms and Elena also called herself his aunt, he concluded that Elena might really be related to his mother.

Noticing how Orion was smiling cheerfully, Elena became curious about something and she decided to ask Evelyn.

“Can he understand us now?”

“Yes, it seems he can.”

“Already?!” Elena exclaimed in surprise. 

It takes a few months for forest elves babies to completely understand elvish language and it took high elves at least two weeks to begin to understand elvish language, but seeing as how Orion could already understand elvish language within two days, Elena wondered if Orion might even develop faster than when she had been a little high elf.

With this thought in mind, Elena wondered about something else.

She slowly sat Orion on the edge of the bed and knelt in front of him to ask.

“Orion, dear, can you say Auntie,”

“Say, Auntie.”

“Aun-tie,” Elena repeated it for Orion to have a better understanding of what she wanted him to say.

Seeing this, Evelyn couldn’t help herself from smiling as she watched her sister teach her baby his first words.

“Ara ara, and what do you think you are doing?” She asked while folding her arms underneath her huge breasts.

She was still giggling at how silly Elena was currently making her mouth look while she taught Orion how to say ‘Auntie’.

“If he’s able to understand us now, don’t you think he should be able to talk as well,” Elena replied

“Aaaa.....”

Evelyn smiled and replied. “He can’t talk now, he needs at least three weeks to.......” she began to explain but she was suddenly interrupted by Elena.

“He just tried to speak,”

“What? Really?”

“Yes, just now...shh......and listen.” 

Evelyn instantly kept quiet and knelt beside her sister as they both listened to Orion trying to say his first words.

“Aaa.....Aaa..... Aaa,”

“No, baby, don’t try to say, Auntie, say, Mama,”

“Eh? What do you mean he shouldn’t say, Auntie? let Orion say Auntie first.”

“But I’m his mother, he should call me first before anyone else,” Evelyn explained before turning her head back to Orion. “Orion dear, say Mama, Mama,”

“Aaa, Aaa...Aaa,” Orion kept trying to say Auntie.

Since he had already tried calling his Aunt’s name first, Orion thought it would be better to at least call his aunt’s name properly before saying that of his mother.

Seeing as how Orion tried to learn ‘Auntie’ first, Elena’s eyes sparkled and she urged him not to stop.

“Yes, Orion, I’m right here, it’s your Auntie.”

“Say it dear, call me ‘Aun-tie,’

“Aaa.... Aaa.... Aaa sh .....”

“Okay, that’s enough for today,” Evelyn carried Orion into her arms, realizing that if she didn’t do anything in time, her baby’s first words would have really been Auntie.

“Eh? Why did you stop him? He was just about to call me Auntie,”

“We’ll continue tomorrow, Orion needs to eat and have his nap.”

“Liar, just admit that you didn’t want Auntie to be his first words,”
