Chapter 8 - the past world (3)

HooooOoonnK!! Sound of the horn gradually increased in volume, waking them up around 6:00 a.m. Victoria was jolted awake, "urrgghh.... Didn't expect that," she yawned.The elves stretched as they exited their room, the sun illuminating the area. Walking straight to where Deyn had brought her, she came across the elves growing a vegetable and some watering their farm. They waved to Victoria as she passed by on her way to the top of the mountain.

Back on the mountain, the view of the forest and the rising sun is breathtaking, leaving Victoria speechless. "This place.... Is incredible... I can't wait to tell Phine about it hehehe "..Vick!!! Oyy!! "Here, here!" Deyn jumps and exclaims, "That cloth is still from last night hahaha. Let's take a bath together, okay?" she drags Victoria to a nearby waterfall. "Ehh?!! Ahh!! "Okay," Victoria says as she follows where Deyn been dragging her.

To prepare for the day, all female elves bathe at the waterfall. "I—is it all right if I blend in?" When Victoria inquires, Deyn responds with a grin and forcefully removes her clothes.

"He—hey!"

"It's fine! We're so happy to be with a human girl!"

They take a bath and play with the water there. for an hour.

Etto is back at the big tree, waiting for Victoria to arrive. "Enjoying?" He inquired, "Yes! But does an elf men taking a bath or not?" She inquired, her face perplexed. "We do take baths in our house," Etto chuckles, "though women prefer to bathe at that waterfall". When they arrive in the elder room, Jey's face expression changes and he bows to the elf, which is very unusual for Victoria, and Victoria's face appears to say huh?! Expression, who are you?

"Ahmm...hey..." She nudges Etto's shoulder and asks, "What happened to him?" Etto replies, "I have no idea... "But all I know is that the elder can change one's attitude," Victoria replied, puzzledly nodding. The elder speak.

"You'll be back today at your true time... Be grateful to the elf who gave his life for the both of you... Be prep—"

"Who is this elf your majesty... I would like to thank to him properly.." Victoria interrupted.

Etto had been given the task of bringing them to the elf house. While Etto leading them to the elf house, Victoria raised the question, "Do elves have their ability as their parents?" She inquired, eager to learn more.Etto responded "Yes... and also no... It varies, there is no family inheritance, but two percent of elves do.. like me, my family has had the ability called telepathy since the beginning. Useful but not always... best for getting an enemy to confess." Then Jey comes in "Oh, it's similar to my slave ability!! When she questioned what to call it, I told her it was telekinesis to make her look bad in front of everyone." His attitude remains the same, but there is really something has changed in Jey since Victoria left him with the elder.

As they arrive, there is a 24 year old paralyzed elf on the bed, his eyes open wide looking up to the sealing, and his lower leg is decaying. Etto told the three elves who were caring for him to leave them alone for a moment.

"24 years old man, at the age of 15 he was stumbled down as he carries the basket to his mother. At the age of 17 he loses the ability to talk and at the age 20 his feet starts decaying, and his magic ain't working anymore. He said that he don't want to be a burden to his family and he also don't want to end up doing nothing. When I told him about you he left a tear on his cheek saying "I'm glad that my life has a use.", "he couldn't talk so let me assist you."

Just hearing that causes Victoria to cry and Jey to frown. Etto transfers the elf's (Jacob's) thought by touching his forehead. "Hi I'm Jacob, and I'm delighted that you have come to this time. I'm very happy that because of you I now have a meaning in life" Etto said this while transferring Jacob's thought. Victoria was wailing and didn't know what to say. Jey looked down and said, "It's better to do what he wants than let him suffer you know," implying that Jey does really have a heart inside.

Victoria approaches him, she presses her forehead to Jacob and says "I'll promise I would not forget you Jacob.." making jacob cry you could see thay his sad even though his paralyzed. The three of them leave the house his mother waiting for them outside as the three people who take care of him enters continueing their job.

For a brief moment, the mother's eyes were filled with sadness, and she went straight to Victoria, bowing, "thank you very much human girl, you removed my son from his perception of being nothing in this world, even though he is my everything."It'll be difficult to accept he's gone, but it's better than letting him suffer," she said, letting her tears fall, and as Victoria began to calm down, she wailed again, hugging Jacob's mother.

back at the big tree. Shido stood on the side of the elder throne, waiting for their arrival. "Are you ready to return, my child?" The elder inquired sincerely, and they both nodded, Etto leads Jacob and his family, and the two humans to the cave so do Shido and the elder, so that no one could hear or see them performing this.

There is no light inside the cave except for Etto's blue fire, which leads them straight inside. "This darkness.... It kinda reminds me of something.. anyway, your majesty.. why not just don't make the contract?" Victoria couldn't keep her mouth shut in the darkness. The elder chuckles, "my child, as I told you, I want human and elf to live in harmony, and if I didn't make this... Elves will rule the world and as long as the elves rules the world, humans won't take it easily which leads to a war, I want peace... I want both to coexist peacefully... There is always difficulty in order to have peace. And you and my very great grandson will be the main ingredients in that PEACE," the elder says, leaving Victoria speechless.

As Etto moved forward, the blue fire he made was thrown up so high that they thought the cave only had a small space due to the darkness, but as the light hit the top of the cave, both Victoria and Jey were stunned, as the cave reacted with a milky way light as if they were in the space.

Shido went straight to the center, bringing Jacob as his family said their final goodbyes. Everyone's expression was so sad as Shido pointed the green diamond to Jacob, lighting up Jacob as his body slowly turned to dusk, and that dust was sucked by the green diamond. Shido let it float at a height of 8 feet. "A—any last go-around—goodbye?" stated shido.

She go to the center and says "Thank you everyone for your help," Victoria said, sniffing and sobbing, "and please tell Deyn I have gone back to my palace with my soulmate." Looking at Jacob's family, especially her mother, she said, "I promise I would never forget your kindness," she bows after, and then Jey felt guilty for saying nothing, so he too went in front, giving a bow.

"This will be the lead of you to make the peace that I want, be careful with that Victoria Dafya, and Jey don't forget what I told you," the elder says as he approaches them, handing Victoria a thick book.

"Think of the place you remember before you were thrown in here." Shido said as he struck the diamond with lightning.

Everyone give their final face expression to both of them. Etto lowers his face to them, the elder gives them a genuine smile, and the Jacob family waves at them while crying. The diamond shines so brightly that it transports them back in their own time.
