Narrator's POV:
"And also your appearance. I can clearly tell you're being pretentious."
- Zemislav seriously said.
*Eurydice gone quiet*
"Well, this is getting too personal. I'm sorry for butting in your personal life. Heheheheh! I'm just curious."
- Zemislav childishly said.
*Eurydice gone even more quiet than usual*
"Just tell me how many years you've been carrying your twins in your womb."
- Zemislav said in stupidest way.
*Zemislav smiles in an idiotic way*
*everybody within the room were confused*
*a moment of silence*
. . .
*Eurydice smiles*
"It seems you really are a kid who is rumored that possessed an ability to detect Abyss in this Land's premises."
- Eurydice said.
*Zemislav's acting like a dumb kid*
*other knights were confused of the said conversation*
When Eurydice decided to reveal her identity, she suddenly start to glow.
*glowing*
*everyone's gasp*
And she revert from a child's appearance to a full-fledge dark elf maiden.
*the color of her eyes turned from bluish to emerald-like eyes*
*Long hair with purplish and an azure-like hair fades at the hair tip which waves in the wind gently*
*all jawdropped except Zemislav's who still looks like an idiot*
*Eurydice touches her hair gently and she smiles towards him*
"Anyway, regarding of your question... I've been carrying my children for over 5 decades in my womb.*
- Eurydice answered.
*all of them shocked*
"OooOoohHhh??? What an impressive way of transformation!"
- Zemislav said in an idiotic way, while applauding stupendously.
*Zemislav stops clapping*
"So you possess an ability to shift eh? Or let's just say, a Dark elf blessed with a Shapeshifting ability."
- Zemislav said in a dumb tone.
"WHAT???!!"
- all people were shocked.
. . .
"And... about 5 decades, or whatsoever.... Why took that long? May I know the reason?"
- Zemislav ask in an idiotic way, comically.
*Zemislav's face transforms from idiotic b*st*rd to serious*
"And also, why you have to disguise as a child in the first place?"
- Zemislav seriously said.
*a moment of silence*
*Eurydice smiles in defeat*
"I guess there's no turning back this time eh? You really got me so good. I like you!"
- Eurydice said like she's out of words.
*Margarette's shocked and speechless*
*Zemislav still looking pathetically an *ssh*l**
. . .
"My secrets have been kept for many decades yet, for just a couple of minutes, you've unravelled it so easily."
- Eurydice said.
"Well, I don't think it took you minutes to confirm but rather, a matter of seconds the moment when you saw me."
- Eurydice said.
*Zemislav listens like a dumb man*
"As expected of you, Mister-"
- Eurydice said.
*Zemislav smiles in an idiotic way and lend his hand to Eurydice as a form of introducing*
"Call me Zemislav, Mrs. Eurydice."
- Zemislav said.
*Zemislav childishly smiles towards her, which made Eurydice confused*
*Eurydice still confused on what's the meaning of Zemislav's gestures*
*suddenly, she gasp*
"Wai- wait?! You... you..."
- Eurydice said embarrassedly.
*Zemislav's wondering childishly*
"But... but... It's.... it's too soon for that! We... we just met!"
- Eurydice embarrassedly said.
*all the people were confused, so as Zemislav*
"You.... You wanted to court me???!"
- Eurydice said embarrassedly.
*Dun! DUUN! DUUUUUNNN!!!!*
*thunder strikes sounds*
*all people were shocked*
"What?"
- Zemislav confusedly ask, comically.
*Margarette's soul is leaving due to a shocking conversation*
"I didn't mean I wanted to court you, ya know? I just want to shake hands as a form of proper greetings towards an acquaintance of mine."
- Zemislav confusedly response.
*Eurydice's listening*
*Zemislav take a moment to look to his confused and shocked wife of his*
"And besides, I already have someone with me, and a precious junior of mine at our home city. So...."
- Zemislav calmly said.
*Zemislav looked at Eurydice at ease*
"There's no need for me to marry someone, because I have already found my jewel that I'll forever cherish till the moment I reach beyonds death's door."
- Zemislav said in a calm way.
"Swe... sweety pie..."
- Margarette said in a faint surprised.
*a moment of silence*
*hmph!*
"Such a decent words to hear, coming from your kind. Anyway...."
- Eurydice said like she's out of words.
*hand shakes*
"If this is the way how humans greet their fellow friends, then I'll gladly adapt your way."
- Eurydice said.
- - - Meanwhile - - -
"So, in regards of the questions that you kept on asking repetitively, the reason why I kept my child here in my womb and shifts into a kid, it's because..."
- Eurydice said.
*Eurydice touch her tummy gently*
"Well, you've seen the heinuous acts performed by my heretic kind, right? So, that sums up everything."
- Eurydice said.
"But why shifts into a child? Don't you think it's kinda... Off?"
- Tigreal butts in.
"You see, here in our domain, the offerings were chosen, not voluntarily. And since I am destined to be offered at the demons when I turned 100 years of my existence, then I have no choice but to accept my fate. Every-"
- Eurydice explains.
"Then, how old are you now, Mrs. Eurydice?"
- Zemislav ask in an idiotic way.
*Margarette's triggered and she SLAP Zemislav's nape*
*SLAP!!!*
"WHAT THE F*CK'S SAKE WAS THAT??!! WHAT WAS THAT FOR??!"
- Zemislav rants comically.
"DON'T ASK FOR AN ELF'S AGE, YOU FOOL!!! DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S A RUDE THING TO ASK AN ELF ABOUT HIS/HER AGE??!"
- Margarette's scolding.
"Wait- what?? It's only natural to ask about someone's age.. how does it look like-"
- Zemislav's defending.
"SLAP!!"
"SLAP!!!"
"WHAT THE F*CK???!!"
- Zemislav yells in annoyance.
While the two lovely-dovey husband and wife funnily fights...
"I'm 225 years old."
- Eurydice sad.
Zemislav and Margarette stopped their monkey business once they heard the response of Eurydice.
*crow of awkwardness*
*a moment of silence*
. . .
"WHAT THE-??!"
- all people reacted.
"Two... two... two hundred, twenty-five years old???!!!"
- Axel reacted.
"For... for REAL??!!"
- Laurel said in shock.
"HOW THE HELL THEY MANAGE TO REACH THAT AGE??? Even a normal humans couldn't live that long!!!"
- Heldrick said in shock.
*Zemislav's starts to act dumb*
"Wait... You guys didn't know? Elves tend to have longer lifespan than an ordinary humans."
- Zemislav said.
*all were surprised*
"They'll live around 500 years to millenia if nothing's bad would happen to them."
- Zemislav explains in a dumb face.
"Then.... then... if they tend to live that long, will they become severely old or... I dunno maaan!!!"
- Alden said in confused tone.
*Eurydice gone awkward*
*pft!*
"Well, they... don't age.. so obviously they'll remain or maintain their young look till the moment they die."
- Zemislav said in a dumb face.
*thunder struck sounds of shock*
"They're blessed in that way. Yeah."
- Zemislav said in a dumb face again.
"EEEEEEHHHHHH????!!!!"
- all were surprised.
*Eurydice laugh in awkwardness*
"Anyway, since a sacrifice needed to be around 100 years of age, so, you needed to look like 100 or such so the suspicions will not rise?"
- Zemislav seriously said.
"Yes... Yes, indeed sir Zemislav."
- Eurydice replied.
"So, if that's the case, Mrs. Eurydice.. Why would you have to transform like a child?? "
- Barry ask.
"Well, the answer's already obvious, no more innocent, young dark elves being chosen by those d*mn*d heretics that's serving those detestable demons. Or let's just say, that wretched Lord of the abyss."
- Eurydice said in irritation.
*Barry gone quiet, so as the crowd*
"So, another thing Mrs. Eurydice!"
- Zemislav said in a dumb face.
"How'd you get pregnant?"
- Zemislav ask in a dumbest way.
*crow of silence*
*Margarette gone even more mad while being flustered due to cringe question of her husband*
*Zemislav still acting dumb*
*faint breeze howling within the room, Zemislav tries to look for his wife and suddenly*
*SLAP!!!*
*deafening sound of BANG*
*Zemislav's blown away from the wall*
"BOGGGOOOOUUHHHH!!!!!"
- Zemislav blown away.
*crumbling rocks*
*everyone's terrified and shocked*
"Slap of Retribution"
- Margarette said in annoyance.
*hand used by Margarette is smoking*
"Don't you dare ask how a stranger woman got pregnant, you idiot!!"
- Margarette said as she cleaned her hand.
*at the outside, Zemislav's face sticks to the tree, as he is like a lump of flesh after receiving such slap towards his wife*
"Ow..."
- Zemislav moans comically.
- - Many hours have passed - -
( At Dawn / Sunrise )
At early morning, the second regiment are preparing to depart to the Shadow Swamp.
*knight's chattering voices*
*gears and equipments' sounds*
While all of them were busy packing up their things, Maragrette and Eurydice were standing on the corner.
. . .
"So, you're finally leaving."
- Eurydice said in a depressed tone.
"Yeah, since we finished what we're here for."
- Margarette gracefully said.
"I... see..."
- Eurydice said in a depressed tone.
*Eurydice gently touch her tummy and Margarette noticed it*
*Eurydice faces Margarette as graceful as her*
"Alright then, take care on your journey. May the Moon Goddess Gavana bless you on your way."
- Eurydice said.
*Margarette's clearly observing*
Eurydice gave her blessings and regards to them as she touches her tummy gently. Margarette, on the other hand, keeps on staring at Eurydice's tummy where all she carried her twins.
Margarette take a moment to look to her companions whether they're done packing up or not.
When she saw that most of them are not yet ready to depart, Margarette faces the pregnant Eurydice and she get her hands from her, raising it up in Margarette's chest level.
*Eurydice gasp*
"Mrs. Eurydice, I don't know anything about feeling some auras or such, but as a fellow mother, it's hard to take such a heavy responsibilities such as keeping your child's existence to your kind and bearing it for many, many years."
- Margarette said.
*Eurydice is listening*
"It must be pretty hard to keep your children under your womb for decades, facing the necessities of your cultural traditions and keeping your children as healthy as possible."
- Margarette said.
*Eurydice started to be sad what Margarette just said*
Margarette let go of her hand. She stepped away from Eurydice, and she bows.
Eurydice gone surprised of Margarette's sudden actions.
"What...what are you doing, Mistress?"
- Eurydice panicked.
"As a proud knight of the Moniyan Empire's Light's Order, I, Maragrette, hereby to express my outmost respect for conquering the hardships that has been inflicted in you."
- Maragrette said boldly.
*Eurydice's wondering*
"The adversities which stands in your path and your child, that you both endured for many decades is remarkably breathtaking. Your willpower to save others from their cruel fate is exceedingly unique."
- Margarette said.
*Eurydice starts to wonder comically*
"I, Margarette is astonished by your unbelievable feats. It was an honor to express my outmost respect towards you, Mrs. Eurydice."
- Margarette boldly said.
Margarette lends her hand and she grasp Eurydice hands tightly.
"I... I... I'm not sure how to reply but it's okay... It's part of life."
- Eurydice said awkwardly.
"Life is kinda unfair to my sons.. so yeah. It's always like that."
- Eurydice said blissfully.
! ! !
"Wait a minute!"
- Margarette intervened comically.
*Dj scratch's sounds*
*Eurydice blinks in confusion*
"Did you just said 'Sons' right now?"
- Maragrette said in a confused tone, comically.
"Ye... yes? Why?"
- Eurydice replied comically.
"I... I.... How'd you know it's a boy?"
- Margarette ask comically.
"Ha? I... I dunno? Just assuming things?"
- Eurydice replied comically.
*crow of awkwardness*
*pat!*
"Ya know mah friend, assuming into some unknown things will greatly hurt your feelings."
- Maragrette said in a 'feeling down' way, comically.
*Margarette childishly nods which made Eurydice confused*
"Ha? Why? I've always wanted to have male twins! Ya know, my children would certainly look so handsome, and talented like me."
- Eurydice said in an arrogant way, comically.
"Eh?"
- Margarette reacts awkwardly.
*crow of silence*
*Margarette laughs in an uncomfortable way*
"Well... Hahah... Good luck then!"
- Maragrette awkwardly said.
. . .
*Eurydice keeps on touching her tummy gently and Maragrette keeps on observing her*
*Eurydice let's out a heart-warming smile that she could imagine*
*Margarette gasp*
"One day, by the moment I'll give birth of my twins, I swear to show them the beauty of this land."
- Eurydice said as she keeps on touching her tummy.
*Margarette listens*
"I know, this land is slowly devastated by the Abyss. Everything in this premises is slowly withering, including it's beauty and it's grace."
- Eurydice said emotionally.
"But I do hope that one day, my twins will be able to witness the Beauty and the Former Glory of this Land, and attain peace which was stolen for millenia."
- Eurydice said.
*Maragrette listens and started to get emotional too*
"If I failed to witness it in my eyes, my best wishes will be...."
- Eurydice said.
*Eurydice looks up to the sky*
"My twins... will get able to see the starry nights where moon shines brightly in the midst of the night, and the environment which is graciously blessed by its stunning beauty."
- Eurydice said as she looks to the dark skies.
*touches her tummy*
*Margarette's speechless*
