Chapter 7 - chapter 6: how elves love & realizing something

I stared at Luna for a little bit before I would speak "well Luna what do you need?" Her face was still a bit pink but there was something definitely on her mind even I could tell it she approached me and said in front of me we were about a foot away from the mountain of corpses she didn't spoke "w-wall I have a question you said you were from another world correct?" I signed as I looked at her and I smiled calmly "yes I am I'm guessing you want to ask questions about my world?" She shyly knotted she spoke but her voice was a bit more calm and clear "yes I have three questions the first being are there elves in your world?" I leaned back in my chair and then I would look at her again "no there's not there's no dwarves elves orcs or whatever the hell it's in this world it was only just humans and animals" this caught her off guard completely but it did piqued her curiosity " was there magic in your world?" I shook my head "seriously a world of no magic how could people live?" That last question didn't sound like she was asking me it but asking herself "we were way more advanced in technology then this world we had huge metal buildings that reach towards the sky metal boxes that moved on their own without magic but with mechanic engineering if you were to go to my world you would find it utterly and thrall I'm trying to find out all the secrets you could" her eyes sparkle as I spoke I remembered back in my old world I was a mechanic and my dad was a gunsmith wanting me to go into his business as I think about this I realize I could create this world's first gun and I could show them all the beauty how we wouldn't have to play it so safe but getting the materials is the real issue when I look back into her eyes I waited for her to ask her last question but her last question caught me completely off-guard "do you Believe in Love?" Elsa look like I was completely cut off by that I was honestly expecting another question about my world considering how her eyes sparkled when she learned more about my world "well I do believe in love I just have no time for it even now I don't have time for it I have an entire continent to conquer and wipe all but one kind of worship off of it that ain't something that can happen overnight let alone make sure it's enforced when I leave this world if I leave maybe after my task is done I'll let myself have time for that kind of thing" her eyes sparkle the little ones she heard my answer but I had to ask my own question now "why do you ask that last question the first two I understood but that last one I don't understand" her face went kind of beautiful shade of red kind of like a ruby she quickly ran away she was always fast if me and her had a running competition she would knock me out like a turtle trying to outrun a rabbit then I heard a big clapping coming from the hall then I saw Helga "Helga how long have you been there?" how good was smirking off as she just looked at me with a big grin "well just a bit to know you do not know anything about elves from the question she asked you" I shrugged when I would then say "like I said answer for questions there were no towels or doors where I came from so of course I know nothing about her people or yours" she smiled as she went to go sit at the table we put in there a few days ago "well then Jack let me educate you" I sat at the table too as I just stared at her "please do Helga the more I know about this world the better" Belleville after that as she pulled out a water skin field with wine "okay Jack first things first elves a bit complex with their feelings there never direct with them especially when it comes to romance elves do not typically do courtship and when they do it's typically to royalty and even then they don't go through the motions like humans do with engagement happening after dating marriage happening after engagement it straight to marriage. Now I will educate you on how the dwarfs work since I myself we dwarves are straightforward with our emotions if we're in love we will tell the person we're in love with straight away there is no tiptoeing around the situation and you jack my friend Luna is in love with you at least that's what I'm guessing and me and Drake are bedding I'm betting she is and he's betting she's not" I laughed a little bit and ask her "how much is on the line?" Helga face turned a bit more serious but laughed a little "we both put about five hundred gold so the jackpot is about 1000 for the winter" I started laughing uncontrollably " damn so may I ask what you are good at have a guy besides well smacking things with your hammer" she smirked as then she with him look at me and say "well I'm good at smithing it's in my blood and my father was a weaponsmith my mother in armorsmith back in our home City those two were separate jobs but they all belong to the Smith cast and as you can tell I am very good with smacking things with my Hammer as you sow put it but I also know a bit of hunting from my uncle" I left a bit when she quit how I put it I looked at her with a smile "my father well he was a type of weapon Smith to put it exactly he was a gunsmith" she laughed as she took a drink from her water skin was filled water as I saw a bit of wine go down the side of her cheek "well Jack tell me what a gun is" I Would side as I lean back in the chair "well if God was basically a metal crossbow but condensed and had a special type of ammunition called a bullet that was basically this small casing a metal filled with gunpowder and a mechanism on the gun wood hit the back of it and launch it and it would kill a person I made a very loud bang"I could tell she was trying to figure out how that could happen or even be made but then again she did hear how my world was technically advanced "to be honest if I have the right materials I could probably make a somewhat functioning gun even in this world my father forced me to learn how to make them including the bullets required for them to do the job " Helga laugh for a bit as she just look up "well I would have definitely like to see that and I bet a few of my brothers would love to see how that mechanical beauty worked" I laughed a bit as my older brother was the same when he learned a new kind of weapon he wanted to figure out how it was made and how it worked "it seems like no matter the world all weapon-making family is are pretty much the same give them a new weapon to look at and they want to figure it out no matter how long it takes" both Helga and I laughed I stood up as I would begin to walk towards the doorway "well Helga I will bid you a good night I need to have a chat with the blacksmith we captured" she didn't speak she just raise one hand like yeah I hear you. I began to make my way towards the prison I could hear a child crying which brought me back to him my little brother would cry often as I stepped into the room the three prisoners immediately took notice of me I sent for another cell the blacksmith was standing in front of his wife and son he spoke "who the hell are ya and where the hell are we?!?" I made a gesture for calm down and sit down I looked towards the skeletons and they started to leave the room "hello my name is Jack champion of alduin one of my friends said you were a blacksmith so you're here to work for me" I noticed there was something hanging from his neck system woke up all of a sudden it's caught me by surprise she spoke "champion be where he is wearing an amulet of akatosh that is the gaiety who is against alduin" the blacksmith spoke up he looked extremely angry "like I would help a filthy alduin worshiper like you" I spoke loud and clear "you will unless you want your family to be executed in front of you" the blacksmith fell silent my eyes glaring into his the pigment of my eyes changed into red "now that I have your attention you have to pass in front of you one sacrifice your family for what you think is right or spare them from death's grip and do as I say" the blacksmith looks horrified at me he looked at his son who was terrified "I do not like the idea of executing a child but if you leave me with no choice I'll have to" the blacksmith quickly looked at me seeing The red tent of my eyes was lighten from what I said he knew I didn't want to kill the kid but if I had to I would "you have three days to make a decision and make peace with akatosh and ask for forgiveness for what you must do to protect your family" I stood up and began to leave the room I snapped my fingers in the three skeletons we entered the room before I was far enough to not see them anymore I saw the kid absolutely terrified fear and tears in his eyes it tugs at my heart and hurt a bit I continued I could hear a woman singing I can only assume it was the mother of the child trying to comfort him I looked at paarthurnax "paarthurnax make sure they get a full meal beginning of the morning middle of the day and at night as well make sure they have blankets and pillows" paarthurnax nodded as I continue to walk even I wasn't cruel enough to leave them in a cold cell considering this world's medicine was years decades behind my world I didn't want to take a chance of them catching a cold and dying from it as I continued I saw Drake and Leo speaking I entered the room "hello you two care to lend me an ear?" Drake and Leon kind of look like they didn't want to but they were curious so they did all three of us at a small table my eyes were back to the normal pigment by now "I gave the blacksmith to choices him and his family being executed or he doing what I said and they will be taken care of like if they were guests I've given him three days to decide until then they will receive blankets pillows and food three times a day but I want your opinion about this what would you do in my situation" I said this as the looks on their faces changed they were impressed listen to press more amazed that I could still be so compassionate even with a dark purpose like mine. Leon would speak up "well if I was in your situation I would have carry the weight of a task like turning the land of the living into a Land of the Dead and wiping out all worshipping except for that one god honestly I would disobey them and build my own world to my design the gods have never done me any favors so why should I do them any" Drake within speak up "I'm with Leo on this and honestly I would do the same that Leon would do in your situation besides you said yourself the only way to return to your world is by completing the task but did you even enjoy your own world the people there?" As Drake spoke as I realized something "damn I hated everyone back home didn't I?"
