Outta Space
In the ninth generation of Elfs in Brazavil, Azril the 30th daughter of Ghanio the King's cobbler gave birth to a male child called Tony.
Tony with the long nose was highly known to be good at arguing about the untrue to be true, even when there exist clear evidences of its status and inexistence.
Tony continued with his known character, even until he was over 300 years old.
One good thing that he's proud of is being alive to serve many human masters who lived and died at exactly 90 years of age.
For Tony, live goes on while he searches for another master to serve.
A decade came when he got tired of choosing who he'll serve.
He dressed up, went to the mountains with his pair group to deny himself of being loyal to humans.
While he was making his long speech, many other Elfs gathered before him and as well, joined the moving train.
Yeah, he's got the agility to make his own rules and regulations.
For him it was "I'm living the good life of being in charge".
He got so boastful, pointed his sweet little fingers to the area human horses were meant to feed on grasses and made promises of inviting unicorns from the sky which would take them to the next planet on sight.
Many believed him while few disbelieved him saying "It's just a boy without visions". This got the young man so angry and ambitious. He made so much plans on inviting the unicorns, but it requires many versions of sacrifices.
Tony being the son of a cobbler had no money to make his voice more heard by his specie got tempted to steal from the royal mint.
As it has been and will continue to be, no man or Elf has stolen from the royal mint which has over four thousand heavily armed and professional soldiers guarding it.
He planned very well for the heist, but forgot that all the gold, diamonds and cash were marked for easy identification in terms of heist or robbery.
The deal day came. Tony, alongside his accomplices went inside the bank through the help of a magician who made them invisible for everyone to even notice that nothing was moving about.
As they were packing the needed items, Tony forgot that every thing done by man has expiry date or time.
The invisible spell began to fade away with time and they were becoming noticeable.
Tony's friends warmed him of the consequences if they get cought in the act of stealing.
Tony ignored his crew and went for more of those big treasure stones, grabbed and filled his pocket with them without knowing that he had triggered the alarm when he was asked to leave the premises by his friends.
Unluckily for him, he got trapped in the elevator when he was rushing out while others used the staircase to avoid being noticed.
He stayed there untill the next morning when over 400 soldiers were aiming lots of good looking guns at him.
He was cought while in the elevator, bagged sever punishment for his attempted attempt to go away with the National's reserve.
Other escaped with his plan while envy and dubiousness trapped him in the process of becoming something bigger than he could ever imagine.
Few weeks after the heist, the criminals were apprehended, got the punishment for their actions.

En la novena generación de elfos de Brazavil, Azril, la trigésima hija de Ghanio, el zapatero del rey, dio a luz a un hijo varón llamado Tony.
Tony, con su larga nariz, era muy conocido por ser bueno en argumentar sobre lo que no es cierto, incluso cuando existen claras evidencias de su estado e inexistencia.
Tony continuó con su conocido carácter, incluso hasta que tuvo más de 300 años.
Una cosa buena de la que se enorgullece es estar vivo para servir a muchos maestros humanos que vivieron y murieron exactamente a los 90 años de edad.
Para Tony, la vida continúa mientras busca otro amo al que servir.
Llegó una década en la que se cansó de elegir a quién servir.
Se vistió, fue a las montañas con su grupo de pares para negarse a sí mismo de ser leal a los humanos.
Mientras daba su largo discurso, muchos otros elfos se reunieron ante él y también se unieron al tren en movimiento.
Si, el tiene la agilidad de hacer sus propias reglas y regulaciones.
Para él era "estoy viviendo la buena vida de estar al mando ".
Se puso muy fanfarrón, señaló con sus dulces deditos la zona en la que los caballos humanos debían alimentarse de hierba e hizo promesas de invitar a los unicornios del cielo que los llevarían al siguiente planeta a la vista.
Muchos le creyeron mientras que unos pocos le descreyeron diciendo "Es sólo un niño sin visiones ". Esto hizo que el joven se enfadara y fuera ambicioso. Hizo muchos planes para invitar a los unicornios, pero esto requiere muchas versiones de sacrificios.
Tony siendo el hijo de un zapatero no tenía dinero para hacer que su voz fuera más escuchada por su especie tuvo la tentación de robar de la ceca real.
Como ha sido y seguirá siendo, ningún hombre o elfo ha robado en la ceca real que tiene más de cuatro mil soldados fuertemente armados y profesionales custodiándola.
Planeó muy bien el atraco, pero olvidó que todo el oro, los diamantes y el dinero en efectivo estaban marcados para su fácil identificación en términos de atraco o robo.
Llegó el día del trato. Tony, junto con sus cómplices, entró en el banco con la ayuda de un mago que los hizo invisibles para que todo el mundo se diera cuenta de que no se movía nada.
Mientras empaquetaban los objetos necesarios, Tony olvidó que todo lo que hace el hombre tiene fecha de caducidad o tiempo.
El hechizo de invisibilidad comenzó a desvanecerse con el tiempo y se hicieron notar.
Los amigos de Tony le advirtieron de las consecuencias si les pillaban en el acto de robar.
Tony hizo caso omiso de su equipo y fue a por más de esas grandes piedras del tesoro, las cogió y se llenó el bolsillo con ellas sin saber que había activado la alarma cuando sus amigos le pidieron que abandonara el local.
Por desgracia para él, quedó atrapado en el ascensor cuando se apresuraba a salir, mientras los demás utilizaban la escalera para no ser notados.
Permaneció allí hasta la mañana siguiente, cuando más de 400 soldados le apuntaban con un montón de armas de buen aspecto.
Lo atraparon mientras estaba en el ascensor, y le aplicaron un severo castigo por su intento de irse con la reserva nacional.
Otros escaparon con su plan mientras la envidia y las dudas lo atrapaban en el proceso de convertirse en algo más grande de lo que podía imaginar.
Pocas semanas después del atraco, los delincuentes fueron detenidos y recibieron el castigo por sus acciones.

You set up an interesting scenario in response to the prompt. This elf is filled with resentment and envy. The goal he sets for himself is out of his reach, but he is too proud to see that. The detail about getting caught in the elevator (you spell caught incorrectly in the piece--you might want to correct that) gives the story a sense of originality.
Thank you for sharing this with us. We appreciate that you comment on the work of other authors in the community.
Yeah, envy and resentment overtook his conscience.
Ohh!!
I'll correct that now.
Thanks
An absolutely interesting story just got me intrigued
Waw
I'm happy that you like my story.
Thanks 👍
Greed is a dangerous thing which can totally destroy.
Tony couldn't have given in to greed.
Nice story.
Yeah, you are right.
Such is life
A magical heist.
An invisibility spell is perfect, but you would think the royal mint security would have guarded against such magical intrusions.
A fun read!
Yeah, but their understanding couldn't get to that point
Hahaha 🤣
😂
The beginning of a man's fall truly is pride.
Great story dear friend.
Mmhhhh
Too much of everything is a disease.
He saw the opportunity to take little, but taking all was just what he ever wanted.
Great idea with great responsibilities and punishment.
Wtf do you mean my friend?
I don't get it.
Please review your comment
Yay! 🤗
