After I enter the Elven Settlement, the place is not as shabby as it looks from the outside, there is small tents and houses at the top of the three, the elves I knew it the past are much more frugal than them, those long eared creatures only live in a cave, but when it comes to Nature Magic? Oh fuck those gods who favored them! they are blessed with a powerful nature magic, even a child can summon a golem! but not just any golem, but a fighting golem fast and strong type of golem!
"Hey little girl, this settlement is quite neat." I said looking around, then something caught my attention, and it`s rare for me to see it even in the Three Worlds, Dark Elves, this kind of elves are so rare that I could count on my fingers the time I meet them.
"Is that a dark elves? How come white Elves live with them? The last time I knew Dark and White Elves always at war." I blurted it out, and the little girl look at me with a questionable look.
"My savior, I don`t know where you heard that, but our skin color is not a hinder for us to work, that history is long been forgotten." The Little Girl said and I chuckled, in the Three Worlds, White Elves won in the Elven wars that is why there are few Dark Elves, but I guess in this world Dark and White elves can co-exist!
"And please my Savior, in settlements we don`t look at our color, we are after all elves, not white nor black." The Little Girl added and I chuckled, this world is truly fascinating, elves don`t have racism in their community here, and they are not prideful like the elves in the Three Worlds.
"My mistake, alright then, where we are going anyway little girl?" I asked we are walking for five minutes and the wolves is attracting more and more viewer, but I could see apprehension in their eyes.
"To my house my Savior." The Little girl said and I simply shrug my shoulder and since I am getting tired walking (Not Really) I decided to laydown on little pup`s back belly first and my legs hanged and I swing it while whistling.
"Can you elves use Nature Magic?" I asked, I opened that topic since I am getting bored in their walk. "Yes, My Savior, we can use Nature Magic, but sadly our magic is too weak compare to the strength of the beings in the Abyss Forest, controlling the ground here already give toll in our mana pool.
"Oh I see, then can you grow plants or three?" I asked again. "Yes, we love tending the flowers and plants all around us, but it`s limited." The Little Girl said and I nod again, I look at the tents and I saw few small plots or put with plants, they probably get their food there for seasonings.
"I am interested in your plants, can your settlement sell few?" I asked and she look at me. "We don`t sell them, rather we could trade them for food." She said I smile and nod.
"Then it`s settled, I`ll trade with meat with your seasonings, I also ones seedlings okay? My peoples may be interested in those new seedlings, after all many plots on my town is still empty." I said and she was shock.
"Town? Are you not from the Abyss?" She asked, is she talking about human town? Oh god! this girl reminded me of that vicious place again... I think I have a trauma to that town now.
"No, my Town is in the Abyss." I said and she was shocked. "How come a town appear on the Abyss?!" She blurted out, I frown. "What the hell are you talking about? Is town forbidden on the Abyssal forest?" I asked, did I do something taboo? Is the race living in the Abyss Forest will try to kicked us out? Curse those gods and goddesses!
"No! It`s that just making a town here in Abyss Forest is almost never been heard, after all making a town has a huge risk, they can be destroyed ay anytime by beast hoards!" She said, now that I think about that? I guess we are lucky, our town is safely build, we live here for months now but there is no Beast Hoards I see.
"We I guess my town was build in a pretty safe location in the Abyss Forest, after all I never encounter beast hoards, we live here for months now." I said and she was shocked again, and look at her people.
"We need to meet my mom now!" She said and run, the Little Pup follow her closely. Soon we reach a much bigger tent, well their tents are all small, but this one is slightly bigger.
"Are you by any chance daughter of a chieftain or something like that?" I asked, after all she said mom and she lead me a slightly bigger tent than the other, if this a war, then you could say the person living in this tent is an official.
"Yes, you could said that, anyway, please come in, My Savior." She said the she pull the curtain to the side and I enter, I saw mid ages Elven men and women here, although they all look mid 20`s to 30`s I know that elves could live 1,000 years and still has a baby face.
"Chroma! why did you lead a mortal here!" The Woman and the farthest center said, although I am little bit offended by that shout I just simply don`t mind it. "My apologies, ladies and gentlemen, My name is Sauron, a Town`s leader." I said, of course I am not gonna tell them I am a lich, a wolf already scared the hell out of me, dropping that kind of bomb will surely turn this little visit into something bigger.
"Are you for a trade?" She asked, and I nod and look at the little girl. "Mom, this is my Savior, she save me on Rampaging Hoards, please show some respect!" The little girl said, wow talking back to your parents, I am so proud of you little girl.
"Pardon me mother, but my savior here said that here in the Abyss Forest, there is a town! and they never been attacked!" The Little girl said, when she said that the people inside the tent start whispering, and the woman that this little girl called mom, look me in the eyes.
"Are you not from the outside of the Abyss Forest?" She asked, so I shook my head. "No, my town is here in the abyss forest, the center of the Abyss Forest." I said and with my confirmation the whispering sound become stronger, Oh this little elves, I don`t know what is so amazing about that.
"Anyway, enough with my town, can we talk how many can you settlement sell to me? I am really interested in what your elven clan can sell to me." I said smiling, since I am here I rather get the opportunity to get seedlings.
But before she could answer a sound the horn of war echoed in the settlement, and they all stand, then run past on me and she grab the little elf.
"You hide for now!" She said and look at me. "You too, I would love to thanked you and to talk about business but a hoard is coming! let`s talk the other time!" She said and run out of the tent, only me and the little girl remain on that tent.
"I guess you showing generosity for me need to be postponed?" I said but rather than answering my question she also run outside, I simply sign on this event and walk out of the tent slowly, I look at the side and the little pup is just laying the ground and not giving shit on what is happening on his surrounding.
"A beast hoard? probably a big one." I murmured and rub the little pup`s head then he open his eyes and stand of course I jump on his back and he smile. "Since this is a beast hoard let`s go look at it!" I said and the little pup suddenly howl then jump on the three! from there we reach the settlement`s wooden wall, from the top of the three I look all the elves preparing their weapon to defend the city, all the children is being lead to a tend, by the looks of it, there is a safe place there to hide.
I look at the horizon and saw a smoke, I simply shook my head. "A pretty bad sight indeed." I murmured and the little pup`s eyes suddenly turned sharp and also looking at the hoard, and I rub his fur again.
"Calm down little pup, this is their battle, this is survival of the fittest, all races must cross this tribulation by themselves, we have no right to interfere." I said, this is the way of the world to select who will stand at the top after all, let`s see if this little settlement can survived.
From where I am I saw the little girl finish evacuating the little elves and she picked a bow and jump to my location and look at me.
"My savior! please help us, your abyss wolf can kill many of those hoard." The Little Girl said and I rub her head. "Your adorable you know? But sadly I can`t although the little pup can kill many on that hoard him dying for no cost will hurt us." I said looking at her people and smile.
"After all, did you see your elders talking to me about helping them? They know that I will not sacrifice my little pup for their cost, so rather than trying to convince me, you should also hide, let the warrior of your settlement do their job." I said and in a few second the hoard and elven warrior reach contact and the battle begun.
