Chapter 9 - Portal gate

Aga, came down hearing my call, the princess on the other hand, who had been able to stand her ground against four elf soldiers in combat gazed at me, probably equally surprised as I was myself,

"We are going together "

saying this one of the elf soldiers who had laid down his guard tried approaching the princess, I quickly ran between him and her these elves couldn't be trusted yet, they had tried to kill her just because she was human,

" Back off" I glared,

at the soldier at that moment, I felt like a boyfriend protecting his girl from other guys, I climbed on Aga and then extended my hand towards the princess, she also took it and mounted behind me without hesitation, ohh, well maybe she preferred my company more than her attempted assailants, but seriously I couldn't believe it, there was something about the two of us that I couldn't understand properly like we somehow believed each other,

"you can follow from the sky, keep up" I advised

flying to the sky with the princess behind me grabbing onto my stomach and I didn't even mind, how could I, I was too messed up that time,

"What's your name?" she asked

" Marcus"

I answered

"Marcus I don't know what they did to you but it must be very painful for you to be this angry with them" she added,

Yes I was angry, I was fuming with rage

" They killed my uncle, slite his throat, and took his family"

"What happened?" she asked in a soft voice

"I was never really the friendly type" I began, "I stayed isolated mostly in the forest during the day, then yesterday's Festival something didn't happen as I wanted it to, so I was angry, I was about to leave but then he saw me, said he had something to say to me but.... but.... I left.......

Hurrah!!" I explained with watery eyes, screaming at the end,

" I must find his family" I declared with determination we flew towards Bavaria heading east as Aga followed their scent we arrived at an invincible portal, that seemed to be a gate blocking the other side, it was dark and I hadn't eaten anything so I was a little weak but my determination rage and fear was the only food I needed but my body was still weak, getting off Aga, I tried to see if the portal could be penetrated, but to my dismay it was impenetrable, the elves tried slicing their words through it, but each slice was like a strike at a very heavy thick wall

"No, no, no!!!," No matter how much we tried the portal could not be destroyed, was this the end,? I was going to be too late to save Ken, Lucy, and Ivy angry I pulled out a sword from one of the elves striking it a dozen times, but they had the same effect

"let's camp here for the night and wait for Whoever comes out of it" one of the elves suggested useless, horrible, weak, insignificant none of these words were enough to describe what I was feeling right now, I felt worthless, I slammed down to my knees, a soft hand grabbed my two shoulders, gazing up at the person,

it was the princess I wasn't surprised at what she did, maybe I was a little but at that moment I think it was what I needed, we camped behind a large Rock where we could monitor the gate, if anyone came in or out, I, however, couldn't stop thinking about that gate, that it was an invincible portal Gate, the atmosphere was tense the elf soldiers and the princess seemed to be getting along well, since the chatting and amusing elves when initiating a conversation with her, but the redhead, however, seemed to hold grudges

"so what are you?" the redhead asked

I had been feeling some gazes for a while but I was too lost in thoughts to even look at them,

"A monster" I was too broken to even think straight so I didn't know why I said that, "really, well we've encountered a few Monsters on our way but they haven't been one like you so far"

judging from the way she talked she must have some authority

"And we know all the monsters, so what kind are you?" was she trying to anger me I was already raging and she was asking me annoying questions, slowly I turned my head away from the portal people usually said I looked like the devil when I did that, I smiled my devilish half smile that always sent the bears running for their lives, seeing me from a mile away, I sat upright

"What is your name?" I asked

"Eladona" she she seemed frightened a bit but composed herself quickly,

"Well Eledona I am the kind that brings hell to you from a distance, the kind that mercy is not an option"
