What the elf's did was capture him and tie his arms together. "Everything should be alright for now", Issei told himself as the elf's took him to their campsite/home.

Before being taken there, the elf girl was taken in first. They seemed to bring her into a bigger tent, as for what the elf's that were allowed in there, (only females), Issei did not know.

After arriving to the camp, Issei was tied up to a tree in a sitting position, he did not question them, however he thought of ways to escape.

Fast forward a few hours, (night-time), Issei was currently watching the elf's dance around a fire as they laughed and talked amongst another since they had caught a big animal for food. Feeling like nothing was going to happen that night, Issei closed his eyes and rested his head against the tree and after doing so, he sighed.

"I dodged a bullet there. They probably would've killed me if I didn't save that girl", Issei reminded himself as he remained with his eyes closed. Then he heard footsteps coming his way; they were gentle and soft. Slow and seemed to give off the none confident feeling.

The biggest reason to this was because, he could hear short pauses in between some of the steps. It was the girl, and Issei could tell, that is was, because they were now linked.

"Um~umm h~h~HI, i t-thought you might be hungry, so I brought you something", Hearing her say that, Issei opened his eyes and could see that she was trying to hand him a piece of meat.

"Thank you, but how will I eat if my arms are tied", he asked in a stone cold expression, as he once again closed his eyes. 

Issei's voice carried a tone of both frustration and resignation. He knew that maintaining a firm demeanor was crucial in this uncertain situation. He felt a mixture of gratitude towards the elf girl for her seemingly kind gesture and an underlying skepticism about her intentions.

The elf girl hesitated for a moment, her delicate features reflecting uncertainty. "I'm...I'm sorry about that. I didn't think about your situation." She fumbled with her words, clearly nervous.

Issei glanced at her again, this time with a softer expression. He realized that she might not be as much of a threat as the others. "It's okay," he said, his voice gentler. "I appreciate the offer. But what's your name?"

The elf girl seemed surprised by his question, as if she didn't expect him to care about such details. "I'm Liora," she replied, a faint blush coloring her cheeks. "And you are...?"

"Issei," he responded. "Look, Liora, can you help me get out of these ropes? I promise I won't cause any trouble."

Liora hesitated, glancing around to make sure no one was watching them. Then, she took out a small dagger hidden beneath her clothing and started working on the ropes binding Issei's arms. Her hands were surprisingly steady, and it became apparent that she was more skilled than he had initially thought.

As the ropes fell, Issei flexed his arms. "Thanks, Liora," he said, genuinely grateful. "Now, can you tell me more about this place and why I was brought here?"

Liora looked around once more before leaning in closer to whisper, "This is the Elven Forest, and you were brought here because you saved me. The others were afraid you might be a threat, but I believe you're different."

Issei nodded, his curiosity piqued. "So, what happens next?"

Liora's eyes darted to the dancing elves around the fire, and she leaned in even closer. "We need to find a way to get you out of here and maybe even help you return home. I overheard the chief, he wants you in the fire by tomorrow moon-rise."
