The man I front of them bowed slightly and Max was relieved cause at least one person didn't look at him with the same disgust as everyone else in this town.
???:Please follow me,our king and queen are waiting for you.
Vance:Come on kid let's go.
Max:Y-Yeah let's go.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous going in,I mean just think about it meeting the royal family.
Max:Hey Vance how do you think the royal family will react to my presence?I mean I know that everyone we've encountered so far hasn't had a good reaction but maybe the royal family will have a better reaction?
Vance:Honestly kid I don't know about that but the only way to know is to go and meet them don't you think?
Max:Yeah I guess you're right.
They entered the Palace with the Royal guard leading them and Max was amazed to say the least,it was really beautiful and there were some tree roots coming from the walls and there were also some little balls of light that were floating in the entire hall.
Max:Woah what are those?
Vance:Those are light spirits they just float like you are seeing right now so you don't have to worry about them.
Max:Nono they are amazing can I touch them?
As he said that he got close to one of them and he touched it and he felt something that he couldn't explain,it was like some energy going through every part of his body and as he was lost in the moment the royal guard that was silent escorting them suddenly moved so fast with his hand showing a light green color and he was heading in Max's direction with the intention of hitting him but since Vance was closer to him he noticed this and went to attack the royal guard and managed to hit him sending him back.
Vance:What the fuck are you doing,we're you trying to kill him?
???:Of course,this human is being allowed here on the Palace,this sacred place and he dares touch a spirit.
Vance:He had no idea that he isn't supposed to touch them and besides you saw it as well the spirit moved towards him his curiosity got the better of him.
Max:I-im sorry I didn't know I wasn't supposed to touch it.
Vance:It's fine don't you worry about that.
???:You have been warned human we don't allow outsiders to touch our sacred spirits,I'll let this be for now but do not repeat that again.
They continued to walk and Max was starting to regret his decision of coming here to the elven city,Vance told him that it wouldn't be a smooth experience but he hoped that at least someone would treat him like a human being and not have this hostility towards him.
Max:Hey Vance should I really be here?
Vance:You're starting to have doubts?
Max:I mean wouldn't you?With the way everyone is treating me?
Vance:Listen Max I know that it must be hard but trust me it will be worth it and remember you're my disciple and as you noticed it is a big deal hahaha.
Max:Yeah everyone keeps treating you like a celebrity or something I know I haven't known you for long but you don't strike me as a important guy,you seem like a lazy guy to me.
Vance:See you get me,listen you might not have known me for long but I think that we share something a passion for magic,I saw the look in your eyes when you were talking about magic,and we don't need to know each other for long we will have a lot of time for that.
???:We are here.
In front of them there was a large door with two guards wearing the same light armor black coloured with gold lines.
???:Let them in the king Is expecting them.
They both just nodded their heads and pushed the doors he told th to get in and the moment they entered Max's eyes were hit by a strong light and he covered himself from the light but when he opened his eyes again he saw the same balls of light but there different colour it was like a rainbow and he was stunned.
Vance:Don't get distracted kid.
Max:Yeah sorry.
He looked at the people standing there,there were two chairs and there a man and a woman one could only guess that this was the king and queen of this place.
???:My Lords I have brought them here as you have ordered me.
???:Thank you Luca you may take your leave
Luca:Yes my lord
As he went out of the room the door closed and it was just the four of them.
Vance:Well now that it's just the four of us I guess we can relax right?
???:Honestly why are you always causing trouble for me it's very annoying you know.
???:Come on honey you say all that but he's still your father you know?
???:Yeah yeah I know I was just venting a bit.
Max:F-father?you are his father.
Vance:Of course kid,what I told I am a big shot around these parts hahahaha.
Max:Well I guess that is indeed true but still your son is the one who is famous not you.
Vance:Don't sweat about the details kid all you gotta know is that you should give the proper respect I deserve humph.
???:Well you might think that this is a laughing matter but it's more serious than you think father.
Vance:Come on Leyland relax a little look at your wife she's pretty relaxed.
Leyland:Yeah why are you so relaxed he brought a human into our city Myura.
Myura:I mean but this human is just a little kid to me,tell me boy hoe old are you?
Max:i-im fourteen miss.
Myura:You don't have to be so nervous,besides you have such an interesting eye colour never seen something like that.
Max:Thank you miss,I'm very proud of my violet eyes,I must say I'm pretty surprised that you are being kind to me everyone up till now has been kind of intimidating.
Leyland:It's only normal for us after all we are the rulers of this forest and he have met humans before,the other elves have not yet ventured outside of here but they are right to be hostile to you,humans have limitless malice in their hearts they hunt us down to enslave us so it's only normal that we would be on the alert.
Max:I guess that is true although I am not a natural from this world in my world there were bad people as well.
As he was talking the spirits started getting closer to him and surrounding him,and like the last time he was feeling this energy,a warm feeling enveloping him,everyone was left surprised noticing this happening.
Leyland:What is happening.
Myura:Oh my it seems like we got a interesting person in out hands if even the spirits approve of him.
Vamce:Haha kid you really are something else.
Max was just left here confused about the whole thing and could only ask.
'What's happening?'
