Leora's POV

I woke up the next morning alone in the tent. Girsha was outside packing up everything for the journey ahead. My legs were a little weak from last night, I did a healling spell to help it, but it can take a few minutes to kick in.

I started to get dressed when Girsha came in and smirked at me. "Hury up, Mage, we can make it to Elven Country through this woods by sunset if we are quick." I nodded and headed out of the tent so Girsha could take it down. She then strapped my into my travel bag and handed me my staff, and we headed off.

Girsha walked by my side instead of ahead of me like before. It was hard not to talk to her, I wanted to know where we stood, I mean we had technically had sex twice now, Girsha would probably say it's just casual sex and I mean that's what I want anyway, she's an adventurer, and I want to stay in Elven Country for at least a year to learn their magic, maybe longer, we won't see eachother again. Girsha looked at me like she could tell there was something on my mind. "Tried Mage?" She asked with a grin like she just won a gambling match.

I shook my head, determined to keep my end of the deal up. She was probably trying to bait me into talking. "You looked beautiful when you were cumming for me last night." Girsha said in her flirty tone. I blushed but still didn't respond. I hate how attracted a am to her. She's just a cocky brute.

"Leora, please talk. I know that was my side of the bet, but I don't want you to be quiet. I want to ask you a question." I perked up at the sound of my name and the idea that she had a question. Was it the same question I had on my mind? "Okay, I'll speak, but you can't go back on it now." I said in a ruder tone than I wanted. "Okay, my question is. Why do you want to go to Elven Country?" I looked down at the ground, a little disappointed. "To study Elf Magic." I said plainly. Girsha nodded and asked. "How do Mages learn magic? Other humans can't learn?" I nodded my head and explained.

"You're right. Humans can't lean magic because... well you see Mage is born into Human families every full moon, they start with very little magical abilities and are first taught household magic in a special school, then when a Mage becomes 12 they can choose what magic they want to learn, such as nature magic from Fairies, who are the main teachers at the schools. (Faries are the ones who gave humans the ability to have Mage children.) Then, once a Mage has graduated, they can choose to continue to learn other races' magic such as

Trolls
Tree Nymphs
Mermaids
Gnomes
Goblins
Ogres
Pixies
And Elves.

Straight from the source by traveling the world rather than from textbooks (and some special visitors come every so often to the schools to help the young Mages learn.) After my schooling, I learned Mermaid magic and Goblin magic by moving to their towns and studying, including my household magic and Fairy magic, which I chose to continue in school I know four magic types, and I am going to Elven Country to learn Elven magic. Mages are the only creatures who can learn magic from others, even halfbreeds struggle to use both of their genetic powers, mostly they are stronger in one and forget the other."

Girsha seemed to be so ingrossed in what I was saying that she walked into a tree. "Ah shit." Was all Girsha said before rubbing her head and walking around the tree, I tried not to laugh but couldn't stop myself when Girsha rubbed her stomach. "A six-pack like yours shouldn't have even felt that blow." I sniggered. Girsha gave me a warning look before she continued walking. "I was caught off guard Mage."

I ran to catch up with her, and before I knew it, it was sunset, and we were at the west gates of Elven Country. I stood in aw of the marble gates as we waited in the queue to be checked in. Girsha looked at me and smirked. "Never seen fancy buildings before?' I shook my head at the question, and Girsha got to the checked in. "Bag check, please." The guard said as another Elf checked the bags. "All weapons and survival supplies, sir." The Elf said, which made Girsha tense up. "Orc, don't you know you can't bring weapons into Elven Country. We will have to hold onto these until you come out." Girsha looked really mad, so I took her hand in mine and squeezed it, making her calm down a little.

"Hello, this is my guide. Please be kind to her." I said to the guards who saw my staff and looked scared. "Oh, Miss Leora of Fleafiara's. I am so sorry to offend you. We thought you would be arriving a week ago, so we weren't expecting you." He explained. I just nodded and smirked. "Well, no time like the present. Now, please make sure my guide's beglongings are kept safe. We will both know if anything has gone missing." The guard nodded. "Yes, Miss Leora. Shall I call for a carriage to take you to your apartment?" I nodded and walked through the gate. Girsha followed behind me before the carriage appeared, and we got inside. Luckily, Elves and Half Orcs are the same height.

"How did you do that?!" Girsha asked, stunned at what she saw. "Mages are considered quite powerful to Elves, so they respect us more than any other species along with Fairies, of course. So when a Mage comes to learn Elven magic, which is rare since it's not the easiest or most practical, everyone who needs to know is made aware of them, and any Elf I meet will treat me like walking gold." Girsha looked impressed and moved to get closer to me before whispering. "I'm glad I'm with a Mage girl." I blushed, and Girsha moved away again.

We sat in silence for a moment before I asked. "How long will you be staying here?" I was a little worried that she would leave too soon. "Well, I need to find a new job in a tavern, so I'm not too sure. I'll be out of your hair once I know you are safe in your apartment." I smiled behind my hand and hoped that I could convince her to stay the night.

We were dropped off at my apartment, and Girsha helped me carry my bag upstairs. I opened the door to find quite a nice place, big enough to practice spells and cosy enough to not miss home too much. I opened one door to find a big bed and another door to find a perfectly polished bathroom. "Great place, I hope you enjoy." Girsha said from behind me.

I spun around to face her chest. She was a lot closer than I thought. "I got to get going if I want to get a room in an inn." Girsha said as she wrapped her hands around my shoulders. "It's late Girsha, stay here." I said, still only looking at her chest. "If you insist Mage." Girsha said with a chuckle before pulling my chin up to make me look her in the eyes. "Focus on my eyes, or you will make yourself horny." I bit my lip and looked down at her chest quickly before looking at her eyes again. "Whoops. I already am." I said before I kissed Girsha and pulled on her hair.

Girsha picked me up and brought me to the bedroom before we stripped down ready to fuck until morning.
