Chereads / Alpine the servant / Chapter 6 - The past world

Chapter 6 - The past world

Magic is still present everywhere. The wind blows fresh air, the sun feeds its light to the plants, animals live freely, and elves haven't made any contracts with humans yet.

As they continued to search for help in the woods, they heard a dying scream, a magic being cast, and Victoria's curiosity compelled her to rush after the sound, leaving Jey behind. As they approached the sound, they saw a large demon with thousands of eyes surrounding its head and eight tentacles wiping out the elves. Victoria nearly screamed out of fear, but she held it back. Then Jey arrived, panting, and as he saw the demon, he was terrified, pissing himself and making a face that he wanted to scream, "Ah—hhhm," someone covered his mouth, Victoria was surprised and looked at that someone. It was a 37-year-old elf with brown hair and skin and yellow eyes that covered Jey's mouth, "keep an eye on it..." he said calmly. As the both of them looked at the disaster doing nothing, "aren't anyone gonna question why to just watch?" The elf questioned. "Well they are elf they were meant to die" answer Jey, the elf smirks and looked at Victoria asking the same question, "I know that there must be something behind this, elves Don't hesitate to help" answered Victoria "I see that there are two different kinds of humans here, ms. Kindhearted and mr. Pees boy," the elf says, causing Jey to be enraged, but the elf interrupts, "here it comes... Watch...," leaving both of them silent and staring.

As the demons attacked the elves, many footsteps could be heard from a distance. It was the humans wielding a bow and arrow, a thin rope, and a spear who worked together to kill the demon. Two men hold a string side by side to pass the demon while the rest shoots it in the eye and cuts its tentacles. As the string approaches the demon's body, all humans hold it and pull it to successfully cut the demon's body. The string is thin but can easily cut skin. They went to help the elves stand up after killing the demon.

"They are so kind after all" said Victoria

"Don't be fooled to that human trick they are capable of lying... And at the first place.... It was them who summoned the demon from the underworld." The elf respond.

"Now follow me" said the elf walking away.

He takes them to the elves' home, which is surrounded by tall trees and a swarm of fireflies. The setting is so magical that their houses are linked to the trees and some are carved. Both Jey and Victoria were taken aback by the scene as the elves smiled and waved at them, some of whom gave them apples. "This is how the elves see humans." "Now come on, our destination is that large big tree just in front of us," said the elf, pointing to the large tall tree.

The tree is bigger than what they saw at the distance. The door size is the same as the normal door but inside can be found a torch stick beside the tree the fire doesn't apply a heat and spread, a stairs that revolve the tree, The area appears to be cast by a magic that expands the inside of the tree, and as you go deeper inside, you can find a throne made of tree roots sat by an old elf with wrinkles on his face and a very long white beard. Jey burst out laughing "WUAHAHAHAHA What's the deal with this old man HAHAHAHAHA I can't stand watching him!", the elf(etto) who is with them, slightly laughing as he thinks to himself, "says the fat guy who just pee in his pants.". After a few moment of laughter, Victoria stamped his foot with her heel, and Jey let out a dying pig scream while holding his foot, unable to hold back his tears.

"Here they are, your Majesty," Etto says, kneeling with one leg in front of the elder elf (the king of all elves). "Stand up, my son; I thank you for bringing me the girl and that boy..." "Offer him some new clothes... He smells like pee," the elder continued pointing to Jey, "Huh?!! How dare you to disagree—ahh! "My foot is hurting!!" The pain from Victoria's application to his foot remained as the two men dragged him outside while clipping their nose with their other hand. "All right, Princess Victoria, daughter of Manyl's ruler, Arthur Dafya, let me explain everything to you."

"In my dream the night before the demon attack, I saw two possible outcomes: one, my elves live a quite tough life and die, and the other is..." The elder says, opening his one white bright eye "Humans and elves coexist peacefully... Some even managed to raise a happy family... However, the underlying cause of both possibilities is the same. I formed an alliance with humans, but it is up to someone to bring about the peace that I seek... and that someone is you and my great great grandson, Alpine," he says, pointing to Victoria. Victoria was paralyzed, and her eyes widened "You're Phine's great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather!! This would be a fantastic topic for Alpine when I return!!"Her eyes sparkled despite the fact that she has no idea how to return to her main timeline, "ehh..." Etto talks to his mind, puzzled, "so humans really do have their own idiocy," he says to his mind."But wait...ehhh! I completely forgot!! How do I return to my time?!" She went into complete panic mode "hmmm I can see the connection you have there, human child. I'll tell you when the prince of Dovho returns."

After a few moments, Jey reappeared, dressed in a leather short and a brown knitted shirt, flanked by two elf warriors. "You shall treat me with respect—" the elf pushes him, "here he is my king," the two elves said in unison.

"What's with this elves they don't do what I command!"

"Ahmm my king, would you please come closer.. I think I changed my mind about earlier.." Victoria seducing him

He snap out of reality says "ye—yes my queen, what is it?" He question brought his ears closer to Victoria's face. And again.. she stump Jey foot and this time it was more painful because Jey only use a sandals. "Urghhhhh!!" As he slowly holding the floor. Everyone inside the big tree silently laugh some can't hold like Etto tittered. "Continue that attitude of yours okay" says Victoria sarcastically.

"Stop that.. now I shall explain everything to the both of you come with me... Because this is only for us or there will be a butterfly effect.." says the elder, standing up and carrying his staff into his room on the second floor of the big tree.
