Slash-!
The Blop landed in a small pool of water. Its body settled in like a sponge, the impact of the fall still lingering.
'What the hell man?! I could have sworn someone shot an arrow at me, and it exploded. Are there more humans in the area? No, I can't sense any, so monsters?'.
It crawled out of the water, and then looked up to see how high the cliff he had fallen from was.
'Heh… if I had bones, they'd be shattered across the ground by now. Sigh, so much for exploring, I should get back before Alpha starts worrying'.
"Yo look, Ruxy! I think you caught it!".
A voice echoed. It was followed by another.
"Heheh, it's mine, don't come close!".
"Hey no fair! I saw the pet first!".
'Uhn? I could have sworn I didn't sense any human nearby.'
As Lumin turned his gaze towards the source of the sound, he saw them-
'E-Elvesssss!!!'.
Two in number, their clothing made from leaves, raced towards Lumin at full speed while trying to surpass each other.
'Those are actual elves?! They look exactly like they are drawn in mangas, no freaking way, and they are beautiful too, pure and beautiful… hahaha, they are coming this way'.
Lumin, smiling internally, waited for the elves to get close so he could greet them; Elves happened to be one of Lumin's favorite creatures right after succubus, and now, he was finally meeting one.
"Hel-"
Not a single word managed to leave his mouth as the two elves, seemingly females with blue and red hair, picked him up from the ground and began to pull him towards one another.
"Let go Ruxy! I found the pet first, go find yours!!!" The blue haired elf dragged, trying to take the Blop for herself.
"I shot the arrow, so it's only fair I get to keep it!!!" Terra, the red haired elf pulled also.
While Lumin remained in the middle, his face red as he giggled - two beautiful middle aged elves were fighting over him.
"Okay then… if you give it to me, I'll teach you how to use fire magic," said Ruxy.
"Gasp! You traitor, you already agreed to do it before!".
"Well now, I'm changing my mind, so why don't you just hand it over!!!".
"No, you both need to hand it over".
Another elf stepped in, grabbing the Blop from the girl's grasps and hugging it close to her bountiful bosoms.
'I'm in the middle of heaven's gates, I repeat, I'm in the middle of heaven's gates!!!'.
"You girls know better than to leave the camp, you do know we are on the run right?" said the third elf.
She looked older than Roxy and Terra, with a stern look on her face. She had long black hair, and was also dressed in green leaves. She was a dark skinned elf, who went by the name Melfi.
"Can you seriously blame us? It's getting boring, and besides, what are you also doing outside?" Roxy spoke.
"I came to get you two silly, Lyra was looking for you, she sent me to come get you." Melfi answered.
'Hm, I'm guessing they are some kind of survival race elves? Strange though, Elves are usually more hidden and living perfect lives and so on. Why would they be staying in such a place?.'
"Urgh, fine. But, c-an I keep the pet?" Terra stepped forward, her doe eyes widened as she looked at Melfi.
"That's not going to work on me, and no, I'll be keeping this until you've learnt your lesson." Melfi shoved the Blop deeper into her cleavage.
"Tsk!" Terra clicked her tongue, before she began to walk away.
Ruxy thought it would be a good idea for her to try her chance, but instead, got a nod from Melfi.
Finally, the two elves were walking away, mummering to one another.
Melfi sighed.
"Honestly, those girls are serious work. Where did they even find this?" Melfi uttered, raising the Blop to her face level.
She then noticed the pseudos playing under the body of the Blop, and its beautiful dark transparent skin.
"Funny, I don't think I've ever seen a creature like this before… hmmm, I'm sure Isla will have fun with this, I'll take it to her".
And with that, Melfi walked away with the Blop in her hand.
…
The camp house.
The forest of witches was known to have all kinds of different monsters, most of which happened to be outcasts and the elves in the forest were no exception to this.
Not only were they casted out of their homeland, they were also wanted criminals with multiple bounties on their heads, and since the people who were after them always sent different threats, the elves had been unable to stay in a particular place for too long.
Melfi, with the Blop in her hands, stepped into the camp spot where the rest of her elf brothers and sisters were living.
It wasn't big, but it was the right size to accommodate them all. A huge cave, with a huge waterfall not far from the rocks that covered their heads.
In the cave, were multiple fire torches and tents made from rags where the elves would rest their heads when the sun came down.
As she entered the cave, she ran into a black haired elf named Miol, he looked just about the same age as her.
"I'm back." Melfi spoke.
He immediately looked at her, dropping the blade he was sharpening on a small rock.
"I'm glad you're alright, you all really need to be careful with the way you move about, seriously." Miol sighed.
Melfi smiled in response, "Where are the others?".
"Oh, they went to watch Lyra try to open up the treasure, they have been there for quite some time now." He answered.
"I see, then I'll go check it out, I know Isla is probably still in her workshop, so give her this creature, will you? She'd probably be interested in it." Melfi uttered before tossing the Blop to Miol and walking away.
Miol stared at the Blop for a while, and right then and there, he felt like death was hugging him from behind.
