the second coming of greed / Completed

Chapter 31

 The werewolves were the first to come, it had taken a large effort and time for the knight to start to trust them. But there was ample of food to hunt in the forests nearby, they were soon followed by the minotaur's, those had been accepted right away they were respected worldwide, it was nice seeing Tauren so happy guessed she had missed her clan, speaking of Tauren, she spent most of her time with Drake they were getting along greatly and Kenshin knew that Drake had a crush on the young minotaur, seeing that Fang had wanted to do the same with him, she had been more playful, hugging him more. He knew for a while that she had wanted to be more than friend and if Kenshin was honest, she was gorgeous, she was really his type elf look at lot like human, he had gotten used to the fangs. Next was the orcs, Fang had been so proud to show us her roots, all in all there was more than five thousand of people willing to fight with the celestials. There were training and although there were some fights here and there it was nice to see that people were willing to fight, his previous life had ended with him alone, this was a second chance and he would make the right choice, everything was going as planned, they still had a month to prepare. At a supper the king gave a speech.

-This is what we are creating a world of hope, I can't believe what you manage to accomplish, you brought multiple races together and I don't know how big the enemy force is but we are looking like we can win this war after all

-Thank you, milord we wouldn't be able to house a force like this if it wasn't for you, you did this too.

The king looked at Kenshin smiling, then Kenshin went back to his friend and for the first time in a while he was relaxed enough to drink with them. He danced with Fang and saw his friend laugh. They were happy

-Look at what we accomplished Horn, if we can win, we can grow old together. Maybe this war is what we needed to bring everyone closer.

Kenshin smiled at her and hugged her. The night ended shortly after, everyone returns to the barracks except for Drake and Tauren who went to explore, Kenshin knew that they sneak out to kiss. Kenshin couldn't sleep Tingle drunk was a snorer, he knew why he couldn't sleep he had to confront his past ask and explain to the elf elder is action, luckily, he found the elder awake, in the small elf village. But when he arrived however, another idea came to him , the elder knew Figwit

-Elder, where is he? where is Figwit?

-What is the meaning of this?

- help me please elder, fight the inferno once more

- We elves are leaving to fight with Figwit , the war is starting soon, sooner than you think

- Why ? Why are you helping him ? Can't you see? Races coming together, it's the chances for us elves to regain trust and respect.

-You don't know the whole truth sapling, said the elder

-Then tell me , said Kenshin

Sit it's a long story

There was sadness in his voice almost as if he was doing something he regretted, almost filled with shame

- I don't know how much you know but here is the truth,Thrandull was a chosen as you know, which gave him the respect of the elves, but others were jealous, you know that we elves are slave, back before Thrandull we weren't.

Kenshin couldn't believe it. Was his opinion of Thrandull false ?

- They wanted the power for themselves but we could defend ourself we were resisting, never attacking but resisting, till Figwit was born he was still a kid, when his mom was killed in a war to protect the elves. Thrandull was a great father, he taught Figwit how to protect people and that war wasn't the answer, I have to say it was amazing
Figwit had a lot of rage, out of grief, he hated the human for what they did, but he never did anything because he respected his father. At a point Thrandull had finished teaching Figwit about the magic and had left for the war against the dragons.Figwit wanted more knowledge and was planning to explore the forbidden mountain.I owed so much to Thrandull that I escorted Figwit to the mountain. Figwit was a good guy, I trusted him. It was such an awful day, he found a book there and when he opened it, there was a shadow that leapt out, Figwit was never the same, he was now obsessed with dark arts.

-Why didn't you stop him ? ask Kenshin

Because, he was the future of the elves, the last of the chosen elf, he was a son to me and was as talented as thrandull. Before the book Figwit was kind he was loving help people despite his rage. He was destined to lead us. Even during the elf liberation war, he had great intentions, you see these villages, we created them for the humans, Figwit wanted the elf to lead everyone in an era of peace and acceptance, at the end he was too close to summoning the devil tribes.I told Thrandull everything I knew, Figwit was as strong as Thrandull. So, our savior did the only thing he could do. He used forbidden elf magic and teleported the two of them to another dimension

It explained how Thrandull had ended up on earth, but he was dead he couldn't have used the magic to teleport Kenshin to this world

-But he changed, he attacks and kills now, he is more devil tribe than elf , he is going to end all possibility of living in peace and harmony he isn't Figwit anymore he is a member of the devil tribes and we are please Elrond help us.

-Even if I was to agree I loved Figwit once as a son, evil or not elf help elf

The elder was crying, Kenshin couldn't imagine the burden the whole thing was for the elder and how tough it had to be. Kenshin now knew, Figwit had once represented hope. He had inspired loyalty, it made him sad to know such a great elf had lost his ways.
