"So, what do you think I should do, little elf?"
"I-I don't believe I shoul-"
"Oh, but isn't it true that you did threaten me?" I told her. "Or, was I simply mistaken? Are you accusing me of lying now?"
Don't laugh. Hold it in.
"No, no, I was simpl-simply just say-saying that-"
"I think you've erred too much to be forgiven," I was going to burst into laughter. No, hold it in! "What do you th-Puhahaha! Oh, I can't do it, I can't do it anymore!"
I fell on the grass, kicking my feet out as I held my stomach in laughter. "You should have seen the look on your face!"
". . .Huh?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I was still rolling on the floor. "Hahaha, I-I-I-I, haha." I pointed at the little elf who was looking at me with absolutely no emotion in her eyes. "That's how you sounded, you little elf!"
". . .Huh?"
"Hahahaha," I wiped my tears and let out a long sigh. "Oh, I haven't had a good laugh in such a long time. There's just way too many things to worry about in the future."
". . .Huh?"
"Oh, the pegasi is a gift from the moon goddess or whatever you call her if you were wondering," I said. "But everything I said after was a joke, just a little prank to rile you up. Don't take it so seriously, okay Faruth? Fayti? Whatever your name was, it was really great meeting you but I have to go now, bye!"
I bid the little elf farewell, and turned around to hop onto my cute, little Aegis so that we could get on with our journey and finally make it to the town before the sun went down. What did I think of the little, haughty high elf? Oh, she was an interesting character for sure and would definitely be a popular character in the game as well if she'd ever been released. We needed more loli, rich elven characters after all. They just gave the best reactions.
After all is said, I didn't really think I'd meet her a second time, or any other time. Characters like her were fun to mock around but soon enough, they'd get pretty annoying and really fast at that so it was better to just mark her as something I encountered along my journey to kill the Demon God.
After the good laughter I had, I started feeling down. Meeting a high elf this early in my journey did nothing to help the loneliness I felt inside my heart. I missed my powerful, warrior goddess whose hair shone more silver than the simple, little high elf could ever dream of.
Oh, Ivank-Danger!
"Yah!" I patted Aegis, and he understood, blinking to the right in a flash, narrowly dodging a lightning strike from the heavens.
"What in the nine hells?!" I turned back to see that the area I had just been standing on, was charred completely black and caved out.
"You think you can fool with me?!"
Oh shit.
Maybe I shouldn't have played around this much. I took in a deep breath, fortifying myself with chi and deactivated my chi eyes so that I wasn't bombarded with the immense magical energy pouring out in waves from the little, high elf. On my flying steed, and enhanced with my chi, I didn't really need to worry of my death if this was the highest level the little, high elf could reach but if I wasn't careful, she'd be able to take an arm or two.
The little, high elf, dressed in her academic robes of gold, gray and red, exuded a magical aura of the same three colors which told me everything I needed to know of her magical affinity. A triple-attributed magical user was pretty rare but by high elven standards, it was pretty normal. . .if the three elements weren't lightning, wind and fire.
A triarchy of elements that had the most amount of destructive combinations known to the entirety of the myriad realms. And, something told me, the little, high elf and her haughty little ass had every destructive combination memorized.
I thought of every possible option I had. Then, I settled on the only option that made sense.
"Stop!" I yelled, an open palm facing her.
A high elf that had three orbs of pure elemental destruction was pretty scary, especially when said elf was floating in the sky with glowing eyes. It looked sexy on my goddess, but on someone who wanted to probably char my ass nine ways to sunday? Definitely not.
In front of such terrifying power, suddenly, I remembered her name.
"Fayeth!" I spoke, before pointing over to the pegasi. "Do you not realize you're in the same territory as him?"
My pegasi still didn't care much, and was more interested in munching his daily grass. Wow, the amount of love Aegis had for me was absolutely touching.
"And?"
Woah, her voice was absolutely booming. I seriously need to learn how to do that. "And, if you smite this entire place to dust, you're going to get rid of a mythical creature signed by your goddess."
That brought some sense, and fear into the flying shortie, but not enough to bring her down. Her glowing eyes stopped glowing, and her aura cut to half of it's original size, but I knew that it was more her suppressing it than releasing her anger completely.
". . .Oh, but I could just aim at you, instead," And, her eyes were glowing again.
I shook my index finger. "You could do that," I faked a confident smile. "But, I can run fast enough behind that horse, or at least near it. What do you think's going to happen to you when all that remains of a goddess's gift is charred ash?"
She remained quiet, contemplating. I stared her down. This was the important part that would determine whether she would call my bluff or not. Now, many of you might be wondering whether I could take the little shortie on, or not, since I had so many new offensive abilities to my arsenal now.
The quick answer would be, no. The long answer would be, it didn't matter how much I'd progressed in Ivanka's domain, it still wouldn't be enough to match an experienced triple-attributed high elf whose domain of magic was a direct counter to my martial arts/chi. After all, she would just keep blasting me with long-ranged magic and make it impossible for me to get in. And, while she wouldn't be able to kill me instantly, in the end, it would just result in a long stale-mate.
Which, I couldn't afford.
Another question would be why I didn't just use the flying horse to fight it. Well, while Aegis may be higher in terms of realm of power, the high elf was definitely more experienced in the combat department. But, that's besides the point since all high elves revered anything their goddess touched so I didn't have to worry about a show-down between two strong beings.
