Celestina was somewhat anxious on leaving the hut. Is it because of the history of the two kinds? I don't blame her, she grew up sheltered in her home. As ofcourse she's the next heir of the family.
We'll be going at the coast to relocate for a moment. If Beau is in this kingdom, that means that he's on a diplomatic visit at this kingdom. We'll find a way to ride to the boat, and relocate ourselves in a neighboring country.
Lucky us, they aren't run by royalty but rather democracy. It'll bring us atleast fresh air as we recoup ourselves to ponder what will we do next.
***
I'm anxious about leaving the isolated forest.. what if they found out that i am an elf? what will they treat me?
I am a descendant of the rulers of the elves, hearing from Eloise that before the peace treaty. Elves were waging a war againts humans, leaving a distaste for our kind even if a peace treaty was signed.
We're going to a place that is bustling with humans, we're bound and vulnurable to be seen. What will i do with these pointy ears of mine?
***
Something might happened in the seaside, we need a contengency if we are ever to run into trouble.
I know a magic to alter such appearance, but i do not know when will it last. Hiding her ears would be quite a hurdle..
***
Eloise suddenly placed her hands around my cheeks, somehow. my heart beats faster, a thud that is growing louder and louder as she continues to place her hands around my cheek.
As i gulped, looking at her. It was as if i'm endeared with her face. I've never seen her upclose, her face is beautiful than it thought..
"Your ears are human now. It still require magic, so from point onwards you'll be by my side."
I was still in trance at how beautiful she is, her perfect lips, her perfect nose, cheeks that's so plump and soft, and her amethyst eyes that shines bright blinding me.
She removed her hands as fixed her hair to her right.
"Uh.. Celestina? Are you still with me?"
I can't hear the words the she utter, i'm stuck in a trance that i couldn't escape. I can't help but to not stop looking at her beauty.
***
She's looking at me seductively.. something's wrong.
a loud bang suddenly went through the hut, yet Celestina wasn't fazed. She's still looking at me as if she's inlove with me.
I shaked her off, but to without an answer. She only looks at me with a smile of love, and endearment.
Before i could ever slap her out of reality, i was grabbed through my throat and was thrown into the soft grassy land. I was fazed and dizzy making sense of the current situation..
"Planning to leave me alone?"
I know that voice!
"Beau.. ofcourse you wouldn't falter."
I slowly stood up from the ground as my knees ache from the throw.
"Eloise, i wan't you to bear my child. Therefore you should be mine."
"Your delusions runs deep Beau. But i'll never be your bethrothed."
I can't feel his charms againts me.. what is his main purpose here?
"Then i shall bring you cold."
Beau manifested a sword at the palm of his hands as he takes a stance to attack me. I knew no magic of that kind, only left with a dagger within me.
"You're at a disadvantage Eloise, You aren't immune to the charms! you're simply acting!"
No, i do not feel that weird feeling when he uses his charms againts me. A feeling that even i had a hard time to fight and the pressure to give in, but yet.. i do not feel it at all.
"I'm sorry Beau, but i do not feel your charms. Better luck next time!"
Dumbfounded, Beau laughed.
"Oh really? Then we shall se-"
Right in my eyes, Beau was impaled with a large ice shaped like a crystal through his abdominal area. He fell to the ground in pain, as Celestina looked at him as if she's like drunk.
Beau's sword slowly fades until i couldn't feel his presence. his life.
***
Wh-wha...
"Celestina. Come!"
Eloise grabbed my hands as we ran and ran towards hundreds of trees, we ran and ran until we're exhausted and tired.
It's already the middle of the night, when we made peace to ourselves and created a camp for us to sleep in.
She carefully placed a blanket for us to sleep on comfortably in a grassy ground.
"I doubt Beau is dead."
Her voice echoes through my ears, as i could hear the anger and infuriation within it. She's frowning.
"How so?"
"Beau isn't that easy to kill. He already had the Adevira's artifact, such a mere wound would just temporarily make him dead for a long while."
Adevira's artifact? an artifact created by the gods for humans to use in the great war of the demons.. Why is it in the hands of that man? a man that has a intent of killing Eloise?
"Why would such man hold that higher power?"
"I was there when Beau deceived the last descendant of Adevira's Artifact. He was the cause of my friend's death, and my retirement as an adventurer."
Her face slowly turned into a sad and depress, her eyes twitched as if she's holding herself to cry.
"I think we should rest now Celestina. We still have a long road ahead of us."
I know that it's hard for her to open-up on what happened about her retirement from becoming adventurer. But i wish that i could someday hear it, and atleast give her comfort..
***
The Sun shines bright, Celestina is still asleep. It's a bright day ahead of us.. if we follow the trails we could eventually get into the seaside.
I am atleast worried what will we do next after it.. stay and live a isolated life to a country bustling with people, a city that never sleeps? Case in point, time will tell.
