Chereads / The spirit of the fire tiger / Chapter 3 - Ealtheeldi

Chapter 3 - Ealtheeldi

One day I came home injured and with blood dripping from my nose. Amdir was waiting for me above the railing of the stairs because we had to go to class. Seeing me in those conditions he smiled.

"You got into a fight again? You never get tired of getting into trouble. Who was the bad guy this time?" He asked me with the air of a joker.

I snorted in response.

"If you keep being tomboy nobody will marry you." I continued him.

"But who wants to get married !! Man doesn't understand anything. Besides, I don't see myself with all those kisses and hugs that are absolutely not for me. I'm better off alone, I know how to get by. Those guys are looking for it so they learn to say certain things, don't take offence to a girl. There were four of them, you know? I punctually knocked them out and then they ran away. Come on, let's go now we're late. " I protested.

"Aisaka, we are not all the same. I will only be sorry for your husband, I will not envy him at all. The poor ill person will have to stand up to you, it will be very difficult for you to find someone like you. Ok, let's go, otherwise, the teacher will scold us for being late." He teased me again and I didn't listen to him.

We talked a lot that evening. I began to feel a little cold and Amdir noticed it immediately. He took off his white jacket with a golden harness and placed it on my shoulders.

"I'm hot, you can keep it yourself." I was surprised by his gesture and looked at him amazed, he was smiling happily at me.

"Thanks, Amdir." I smiled cheerfully and hugged me closer.

His jacket was really warm, it smelled good. Eventually, we lay down on the grass looking at the stars, we all knew their names. We challenged whoever remembered the constellations the most and pointed to them.

By now the first light of dawn was illuminating the sky which turned purple which gradually faded and became pink. Eventually, the sun broke through the trees, it was a beautiful sight. We decided to get up before anyone could see us and said goodbye. We each went back to our rooms to rest for a few hours. I gently placed Amdir's jacket on the chair. I went to my bed and fell asleep blissfully, relaxed by my sister's light snoring.

A few hours later, Azzurra woke me up. She burst out with happiness from every pore and jumped on my bed happy, amused. She was wearing a soft blue silk dress with ruffles that came down to his ankles and had long sleeves with a lace slit. We had to go to town with my best friend, as every year there was a party in honour of the spirits. Where the elves danced and thanked the gods. My sister wanted to see the stalls scattered around the grassy lanes of the city. I got up and got ready, put on a dress that was short in front and longer in back that was dark green, had a brown strap under the breast and a silver gem in the centre. Under it departed some kind of large scales. I also wore shorts that came to my knee in dark brown. We went to call Amdir in his room. I knocked on him several times, but he made no move to open the door. He had a good heavy sleep. My sister looked at me said she really wanted to go to this party it was her favourite. From the nervous, I wanted to kick the door to break it down and throw that lazy man out of bed. But suddenly, he finally opened up, his hair all ruffled and the face of a corpse.

"Finally, you managed to get up !!!" I told him angry with the leg in mid-air.

"Huh? What were you going to do at my beloved door?" He looked at me menacingly. "Sisi, I'll be right there, give me a moment, I'll get ready and I'll be there." He hastened to say when he saw Azzurra's expression with glittering eyes. "You don't have a moment's patience, Aisaka." He added, protesting, his voice thick with sleep, and closed the door.

"Come on, Azzurra, let's wait for that LAZYBONES in the garden." I raised my voice on the last word to let him hear me.

She nodded and smiled.

I knew well that he had heard what I had said. I thought about how many curses he was sending me. After ten minutes he came out of the door wearing a grey cloak with a hood, under which you could see a jacket, long brown pants. We didn't go to town very often, as he was recognized by everyone. He was the elven prince and did not like to be noticed, he was the rightful heir to the throne after his father. We walked for hours and hours among the grassy paths, full of flowers, of the great white city of Ealtheeldi. Around us, there were only huge trees with white trunks and red fronds. Even though it was summer, the vegetation glowed with lush green, the dryness did not exist. The houses and structures were white sunken in the trees. Ealtheeldi was also called the shining city of the elves. It was the greatest realm of light elves. It was always nice to go down there, as the spectacle that presented itself was truly breathtaking. We lived a little further out than Ealtheeldi. At that moment it was even more beautiful full of life and joy with its many lights and stalls on every lane. There were many other intrigued races that came to see this holiday. The people of the white elves were the mirror of good, they worked for the well-being, both of themselves and that of others, they were great masters in all arts. They based their values โ€‹โ€‹on altruism and love, therefore their life was very long and untouchable by the diseases of the flesh. They had exceptional control of themselves and their emotions, as well as a great sense of fidelity and duty. Their pure, uncorrupted magic was capable of healing any disease. The initiation into it presented itself as a path bristling with obstacles, to be laboriously crossed in order to reach true wisdom. The spells discovered by this people are therefore the most powerful in the known world, but also the most difficult to learn. The peaceful existence of the elves was only disturbed by the dark forces, which occasionally knocked on their doors. Main characteristics of this breed are the venerable height, the fair and perfect skin, the blond or silvery hair and the blue or blue eyes. The features were delicate and possessed a breathtaking beauty. The weapons in which they were masters were: the bow, the spear and the short blades.
