As both Noir and Polpo enjoy their kebab, a faint scream can be heard from afar. As Polpo ears perk up, it seems he is the only one that heard it. Polpo quickly eat all the kebab.
"Whoa there bear kid. Are you not gonna enjoy the kebab longer? Those goat meat are special you kno?"
"I'm sorry Mr. Bahra, but I have to go" Polpo said as he bow down and then glance at Noir seriously.
Noir just nod and wrap his food and put it on his pocket. Noir bow down to Bahra as Polpo went into the dark alleyway beside the stalls. Noir followed Polpo but before that, he was halted by Bahra.
"Hey, why did you guys want to go there?! It's a dark and cramped place in there, not suitable for kids like you." Bahra said worried of Noir and Polpo.
"Thank you for your kindness Mr. Bahra, but we must go! We have something to do." Noir said with a serious glance toward Bahra.
"Heh, alright then. Next time bring some money and try my special kebab!"
"Yes Mr. Bahra, see you next time!" Noir said happily as he proceed to follow Polpo.
Polpo start to jump all around the wall using off bricks and some metal pole. While Noir creates a green magic circle below him.
[Tier 2 Wind Magic : Elven Step]
Noir speed became almost as fast as Polpo who is jumping around the walls. Noir manage to catch up to Polpo as he start to get closer to him.
"So what is it this time?"
"I heard a scream from here, like a girl scream!"
"I see..."
Just as Noir said so, another bloodcurdling scream can be heard not too far from them. As both became more serious and goes faster than before. Just as Noir and Polpo turn the corner, they could see not too far from them is 4 people surrounding a little girl. As 1 of the people knocked down on the floor, one of the people take out some sort of dagger.
"YOU DAMN BRAT! I'M GONNA CATCH YOU AND GET A LOT OF MONEY! SO JUST STAY STILL AND NO ONE WILL GET HURT!"
Polpo reactively shouted "HEY! OVERHERE BASTARD!" Polpo shouted as a brown magic circle appear around his hand.
[Tier 1 Earth Magic : Earth Gauntlet]
As a hard stone start to form around Polpo hand and turn into some sort of gauntlet. Polpo dashes forward while jumping around the wall using it to his advantage. As he manage to catch the person with the dagger off guard and punch him right on the face to the ground as a crack created on the ground upon impact. Polpo looks at the other 3 menacingly like a wild bear.
All 3 of them start to run away in fear from Polpo. From the back Noir create a red magic circle, he open his eyes as the magic circle appear above him and a spark of fire start to came out of it.
[Tier 2 Fire Magic : Scorching Ray]
As a burst of fire launch at the people running away. The fire hit 2 people and made them scream in pain, as the last one just drop to the ground on his butt and shaken all over his body. As the last man turn around to see Polpo standing right in front of him. Polpo punch him on the face to the ground and create another small crater from the impact knocking him out cold.
As the situation calmed down Noir walk over to Polpo and the girl. Polpo turn around to see a girl around his age sobbing and on her knee. She have a dark brown long straight hair. Her face is round and cute, complemented by her dark green eyes like a leaf. She stop sobbing as she looks at Polpo.
"Who are you... You are not gonna hurt me like those adults right?!" The girl said scared as her whole body still shaken from whatever she just experience.
"Hi my name is Polpo, Polpo Easton. And uhh.. I don't think I'm an adult, so I guess no?" Polpo said innocently as he tilt his head being a bit confuse.
Noir catch up to them as he look at the girl, as he is quite surprise "Wait... Are you... An Elvian?"
"... Yes I am..." The girl said quietly.
"Huh? Elvian?"
"Hmm, it's one of those long ears race Polpo. Mr. Solean told me they are called Elvian." Noir said calmly as he reach out his hand to help her stand upright.
The girl at first scared of it but Noir smiles as it seems it convinced her that he is not a bad guy. The girl takes Noir hand and stand upright, as she dust off her clothes. The elvian girl looks at both Noir and Polpo as she bow down elegantly.
"Thank you for saving me from these bad adults. Anyway, my name is Lylia Lavender Elfant."
"Ah, of course. My name is Noir Bolevante, it is a pleasure to meet you Ms. Lylia." Noir said as he bow back to introduce himself.
"Wow, you got a long name Lylia Lalander Elvian"
"It's. Lylia. Lavender. Elfant. You stupid!" Lylia said angrily.
"Oh, okey!" Polpo said innocently, he seems to not mind Lylia attitude toward him.
"Ah... Sorry!" Lylia said hesitated, it seems she is not used to it.
Noir sigh off "Anyway... What were you doing here Ms. Lylia?"
"Well... I was gonna go met my big sister... But..."
"You try to take a shortcut and ended up here..." Noir said as he sigh off and facepalm.
"Heheh..."
"Alright, let's go find your sister... We are new here so we don't know where everything is yet..." Noir said calmly as he gesture his hand for Lylia to lead the way.
Lylia nod, as she proceed to walk through the burnt adult that seems to be still alive. Lylia seems to be quite grossed out from it as she just close her eyes and keep on walking. Polpo dispel his gauntlet and followed her, followed by Noir behind Polpo.
Noir think to himself as he followed them from behind. Noir tries to remember what Solean teach him about other races especially Elvian. Elvian usually live in a forest filled with nature ether, since apparently Elvian are loved by ether, although only Elvian said that. Apparently to Solean knowledge, Elvian always has first, middle and last name. Their middle name is correlate to their clan which is the name of a flower, each have a meaning of it's own. While their last name is where they are born at, all elf always has this kind off name as a tradition since the ancient times.
Noir wonder for a moment why an Elvian is away from her home. Solean said to Noir that Elvian always live in the forest and rarely leave their hometown, unless something urgent happen. Noir forgets about it for a moment as they are now back at the bustling street of Aslantan.
Noir realize something when he observe Aslantan. Aslantan is way different than Kortopia, while Kortopia focused on freedom, Aslantan focused on law and structure. Everyone seems to be more serious and strict than back in Kortopia.
Just a view walks away from the alleyway they're from, they're all arrive at a bakery shop. Lylia points at another Elvian who had a hood up. Lylia approach the Elvian happily as it seems she has found her sister.
"I'm here big sis!" Lylia said happily as she hugs the hooded figure.
Noir bow down to the hooded figure "My name is Noir Bolevante, we're a friend of Ms. Lylia. It is a pleasure to meet you Miss!"
"Wait, we're friends with her?" Polpo said bluntly as he tilt his head in confusion looking at Noir.
The hooded figure just smiles as she take off her hood to reveal a beautiful face around her 20s. She has a long brown hair up to her waist, with a dark green eyes but one of her eyes had a unique symbol on it that Noir isn't familiar with. Her figure is still a mystery as it is covered with her cloak. The woman get closer to Noir and Polpo and pat their head.
"Thank you, my little sister always get into trouble. I could already tell you two kids manage to save her from whatever trouble she stumble upon to."
"Ah... Yes" Noir said as his face flustered, embarrassed from the headpat "We just, accidently stumble upon her and help her is all..."
"Yep, 5 bad guys was on her and so we took care of it." Polpo said proudly.
"Oh! That's bad... Well I guess I owe you two kids something haha! Anyway, my name is Clara Lavender Elfant. It is a pleasure to know you two boys." Clara said confidently looking at the two kids in front of her.
"Anyway let's get in, I'm gonna buy you two boys to some good food alright! I only take 'Yes' as an answer" Clara said as she stand up and went inside the bakery waiting for Noir and Polpo...
