The Arc and the Elf

Winter Truce Pt. 2

Jaune P.O.V

I just walked in and proclaimed I was the one who killed Farendal and Meridia to the whole Tribune. Now time to do what I came here to do.

"WHAT!!!" A dark Elf shouted standing up as did the woman next to him. He must be Lord Feinvok and the woman must be Lady Alzesi of their Clan....and their parents.

"Yes I did. But I had reason to." I said as I sat down.

Then as they were about to attack the man across from me stood up.

"Hold Feinvok, Alzesi. He said he had reason. Law dictates that he must be heard then Judgement will be passed." The man said.

They both slumped into their chairs and stared me down.

"You say there is reason. Tell it." Feinvok said.

"For Meridia. She trespassed on Autumna Clan lands during their Autumn Festival. Which we all know is sacred and mustn't be disturbed. However she didn't care and had Drou and Dark Elf Assassin's with her." I said as the Tribune looked at one another.

"Then Farendal was because he declared war. He attacked Lord Fenfaren and Lady Ravalynn when they were visiting a neighboring clan in their territory and he ambushed them. He then came to the village with a small army and said we were to surrender. So we fought and I killed him." I said.

The Tribune then looked at the two.

"......it seems that our kin acted out of hostility and darkness. For that you have our sincerest apologies young Willowmoon." Lord Feinvok said bowing his head.

I then got up and walked over to him and knelt before him and his wife. I then gave them their children's blades which I cleaned and kept in good condition.

"Your son and daughter were wondrous fighters. They fought with valor and honor despite their means. It was my honor to lock blades with them." I said as I gave them their weapons.

"Thank you.....Velos." Alzesi said smiling.

I then stood up.

"But I have a quarrel I wish to break this night.....with all of us." I said firmly as they looked at me.

"And that is?" Another Elf asked.

"We once we're numerous as the Grimm and the Humans. Even the Faunus paled in numbers to us. But we now have only The Eastern and Western Clans of the Elves. The Eastern and Northern Clans of the Dark Elves and the Northern and Eastern Fae Folk. Our Southern Clans are all gone as are most of the others. We are the last and yet we fight and bleed one another." I said as they looked at one another.

"I looked at the history of the Elves. And yes I am half human. I was raised by humans but when my OWN KIND betrayed me....Lady Keylana and her Kin saved me. Healed and nurtured me to health. Gave me food and shelter. And never once asked in return of me. To them I was Elven not human. Even Lord Eenar has chosen me as his Human Aspect. So to our own God's and Goddesses I am Elven. But I looked into the history and saw that once long ago we all lived as one. Fae-Born not just Fae. Dark Elven and Elven all as one. Then we discriminated and turned in one another. And look at where we are. Form hundreds of Clans to 12 and now only 6 remain. How long before this six is to 4 then 2 then none. How long before we are no more. Before our legacy is but ash and dust. Before our stories are only painted in blood and sin. Depicted in Greed and Sorrow. Told in Hatred and Sacrilege." I continued as they all listened.

"What do you suggest young Elven?" A Fae asked.

"Simple....we unite under one banner once more." I said as they all looked at me.
