The Arcadia Chronicles III: Wood Elf Quest

Four Places

Third person's POV

1st...

Kiyan winced as he stopped getting dragged Ow!..T-That was a bit rough..

The one holding the rope is Axel,..

...he's riding on Sylvia's motorcycle and they're in a distance, the engine is running.

Liliana and Caith approached him as he's removing the rope around his abdomen Are you okay?

Kiyan winced, holding his abdomen Yeah, maybe, it was my plan all along.

Caith stretched an arm towards him and pulled him to his feet.

Izanami looked around Where are we anyway? This isn't near the Hidden Forest. His twin replied We never ventured this area.

One of the Elves that Kiyan rescued approached them, holding a map We're days away from the Forest, Sir Izanami. Our group can lead the way.

Thank you, please, I've never been in this part outside the Forest.

Janus, Anastasia, and Erica sat on the grass, their backs leaning at each other. Anastasia said wearily I'm tired from riding the whole time we were on that creepy forest.

Janus replied Me too, my butt is sore.

Izanami overheard their conversation then his gaze turned to the army - a look of exhaustion is present on their face, some of the injured Elves are now being tended by their mages, healing their external wounds.

He sighed then clapped his hands to get their attention We rest up for today and continue this tomorrow.

Most of them simultaneously sat in relief on the grass.

A few minutes later, they lay on the grass and are sound asleep...

...with their weapons still at hand, ready to wake up as soon as they sense danger.

Even the princess herself lay asleep on the grass, exhaustion came over her after everything that happened.

The twins and Vantra went near Titania and rested near her. Izanagi said on their native younger Good night, Vantra.

Yeah, how ironic, good night.

Night fell and they already set up a camp, the army made small groups and are roasting pork over the flames.

Axel looks beaten as he sat beside Alexander, Lief asked him What happened to you?

Axel replied Nothing.

You don't look like 'nothing' at all.

At this, Janus grinned and said What happened was...

What happened...

Kiyan and his group started searching for meat in the forest and the rest are helping in pitching the camp. Axel said as he stretched If we could only catch a wild boar, I'm really longing for meat at this moment.

Janus started drooling as he imagined a well-roasted pork Me too.

Caith and Lorden landed on a branch of a tree behind them Hey, you guys! Still hunting for meat?

Janus replied Yes, Miss, we're having a hard time since we're not familiar in this area.

Lorden said, grinning We'll go ahead of you then! Caith gave them a V-sign with a smile then leapt away.
