They slowly raise their hands to the air and with a calm voice, Abel said, "Wait, we are not here to cause troubles? These people almost killed us and we have no choice other than to fight"
His words could be said being ignored by the elf that said something to the boys, "Slowly turn around and let me see the face of you nasty humans!"
The two boys complied and slowly turned around, there's a time where they face each other. The two of them just gave a slight nod to each other, but an arrow passed between them once again.
Thock!
It barely misses once again and hit the tree right beside the first arrow that was fired. The two boys were nervous. But when the time comes for the two boys to face the elf that told them to turn around, Halius suddenly gave a surprised face.
Words started coming out from his mouth when his jaw is still dropped, "Are-aren't you the elf that we met before like 5 days ago? I still remember you from the last incident!"
What it seems to be a male elf was even more shocked seeing Halius, "Boy! I thought you were not going to survive going to the city, it was swarmed with the orcs, even we have a hard time fighting these nasty creatures!"
A slight turning of his face and the elf could see Abel, "Woah, young man, good you survived and came here, I was about to send a messenger to you, because…"
Abel was confused seeing the elf recognized him. He couldn't help but play along and so, he asks, "Because of what? Is there any specific reason?"
The elf said to him, "Yes, the elders believe that the humans are nasty creatures and so we didn't trust for people to enter our homes, so you might need to wait here while I get your bag"
Abel played along and nodded once again, still confused about all of this but hide it very well. As the male elf turned around, an elf leapt out of the tree and lands beside him, the elf whispered to him.
The male elf was even more surprised seeing this. He turns to the two boys, "Hey, you two better go to the city! The orcs are coming, we can't bother to take care of two extra boys!"
The elf quickly turns around, leaving the Abel that is letting out a sigh and Halius that is gritting his teeth. As the elves were about to cross the river, Halius said something that surprise everyone there.
"NO! Let us fight too! We are not as useless at it seems, please, I beg you" Abel quickly turns to Halius with his now dropped jaw, he said back to the boy.
"Dude, no, we are just going to make a scene and not even join the battle, I suggest we return to the city and tell everyone about this" Halius now is crying, he seems to have a mental breakdown or some sort.
"No, Abelard, I won't do this, you have your dad but mine died while fighting the orcs, I need to rely on myself from now on!" As Abel was about to open his mouth once again, the elf let out a huge sigh.
"Well, it seems you have a determined young man, I'll let you guys join the fight with the elves…" His words were cut off by the sound of an arrow flying toward him, it lands right at the river beside him.
The elf was taken aback by this. He shouted to the others and to the boys, "You all, go inform the others, I'll stay here and hold them for all of you!"
They are speechless upon hearing that, none of them can nor want to move, and the other elves seem to grit their teeth. One of them said, "No! I'm not moving from here, I'm going to fight these orcs!"
The guy light up a flame in the elves, all of them with their furrowed expression said the same, "Yes, we are not going to leave our brothers, we are going to fight the elves"
The one elf was surprised hearing this. He let out a smile before he turns to the boys, "Seems like my friends are not going to send the messages, I'll leave this to you, just tell them that Elrohir sent you"
[NEW QUEST]
[Notify the elves about the orcs]
[Difficulty:F]
[Detail]
He furrows his eyebrows and turns to the direction of the forest, Abel let out a sigh. Halius grab his wrist and they began making their way across the river. It was hard to even with the calming stream.
The fight could be heard behind them, hearing the metal meeting metal and painful screams. But they have a mission to do. The two boys gave a few glances behind after they cross the server and no more.
They ran as fast as they could toward the heart of the forest after that, they ran and ran and ran. Without any time to even catch their breath, it didn't even come into their mind at that situation.
On their way, they found a small wooden house on their eyesight, Abel said to Halius, "He-hey Halius, le-let's catch our breath there, I'm kind of run-runn-running out of brea-breath right now…"
Halius nodded, and they stopped there, Abel placed his hand on the wall and the other on his knee. With a position of him bending forward, he looks at the ground and began catching his breath.
Meanwhile, Halius sat on the ground right beside Abel, his head facing to the sky that is covered with leaves. But there's a surprise waiting for the two young boys. An elf appeared from the corner right in front of them.
His eyes widen when he saw them and he unsheathes his sword. The elf charged toward the two boys. Halius was in no position to defend himself, but Abel unsheathes his sword as fast as he could.
He barely manages to place his sword in front of him when the elf dropped his sword on the boy. Their sword meets each other like their eyes stare at each other, both with furrowed eyebrows.
Abel gritted his teeth while the elf's sword and his sword are still touching each other. He pushes his sword after that. The elf is pushed backwards because of that. He almost tripped but held his composure.
The boy dropped his sword and raises his hand to the air. He then talks, "Wait wait wait, don't attack, we came bearing a message from Elrohir, the orcs are coming"
The elf seems to stop but keeps his fighting stance, "Liar! Elrohir are a strong man and hates humans, he doesn't simply trust the messages that important with a young huma…"
He suddenly stops for no reason, "Jeez, what you said are true, comes to follow me, we need to notify the others fast!"
…
The two boys find themselves on the street, elves gather there and found some sort of fence. They have the expression of disgust, Abel thought, "Just seeing humans and the have expression like this"
Then another expression emerges out from the other elves, they close their eyes and take a deep breath. Abel thought once again, 'Their expression is much better than the others, they look like smelling some fresh nature smell…'
He quickly shakes his head, getting rid of all the thought he has in his mind and continued on his way. The elf way from the wooden house led them on to a hill, still covered with trees and plants.
There's a part that looks like a circle where it's just a bare brownish colour ground without any grass covering them. In the middle of it, 2 chairs can be seen, and in front of the chairs, a long wooden table forming a semi-circle can be seen.
The elf tells them, "Boys, may you two please sit on that chair and wait for the elders of the elves? I thank you very much if you do it"
The two of them nods and gave him a very light smile before they head towards the chair and sat there. They quietly wait for the elders of the elves the elf before mentioning to come to their place.
A minute passes and there's still nothing in front of them, but Abel could hear the stomp of metal boots behind him. He turns his face enough for him to see what is happening behind him.
He saw elves, covered in some yellowish colour of armour, reflecting the sunlight even when the sun itself is covered with leaves from the tree. He thought to himself about that armour.
'Wow, what kind of armour that can even shine on places like this, is it made from gold or even more precious material?" The guards then form a small semi-circle right behind the two boys.
Abel quickly directs his view away and waits patiently once again. It doesn't take a minute this time for the elders to get here. They went around the two young boys and to the chair behind the long wooden table.
7 elders of the elves could be seen wearing long white robes with golden lining, their hairs have some sort of greyish white colour and above each of their head are a wooden crown shaped like a circle.
Abel thought about the elders, 'Woah, all of them are so handsome and pretty even though they lived for a long time… I need to respect these 7 elders since they lived younger than me!'
That's when the elder right in the middle that's likely to be the grand elder, sitting on the middle of the semi-circle, raised his wand and thump it on the ground. He then shouted, "Silence!!!!"
