The Lost Elf Warrior

Chapter Twenty Five

CLARITY

The last of my bags where packed up, I don't have a lot of stuff here, only thing I have packed where a few clothes my song book to write in and a dagger just in case I come across someone that wants to kill me. Not like everyone I know so far wants me dead since I got here.

The fire place warm up my chambers room, I can feel the heat of the burning fire on my back, and I am just standing at the end of my chambers bed. It's weird how far away I can feel it.

My chambers door was half open and I heard a knock on the old wooden door. I turn my body after closing my bag up, Hespeta was standing against my door. She had her hair in a crown braid across her head, she let her blonde and black strips hair bangs fall in front of her face. She was wearing training gear like we would go training in the yard, but it was easy to wear this while traveling. I was wearing the same thing but instead mine was grey and black, Hes has a soft golden yellow and black, it is a colour we get after we get our powers, for me I get grey until I figure out what powers I have.

"You ready? Glassandra said to meet her in the throne room before we leave" I sigh, I quickly braid my hair to one side, it would look like a messy braid as I feel strings of my auburn curly hair fall out, but I could not care at all; my hair will get messy in what I will have to face next up on my trials.

"I guess so" I said, it was more of a question to myself. I'm not sure when I will be back here if I make it out alive, but I'm willing to fight my way out and find my mother.

My boots echo the halls, making my way to the throne room with Hespeta walking by my side. Normally it would seem busy as normal around the halls, with every elf running around doing their training or duties around here; the maids we past greet with a nodded towards us with sorrow face towards me. Sorrow to what I will have to face next, it's not like I have face anything before, I am the hunter in my eyes, but Glassandra says I'm the elf that found where I belong. I don't belong anywhere but in the trees.

Two knights stand guard outside the throne room, they both gave us a nodded before the doors were push open, Glassandra sat ahead of her throne in the empty hall, only a few knights standing near.

"Clarity Riverwood from Riverwood forest and Hespeta Silverstone from the Vale, who will joining Clarity on her travel to above the mountains" As the knight stop talking both of us were standing not far from where Glassandra sits.

I look straight ahead but I can feel his stare on me, I don't want him to join us, but it might be the only way to make it out here alive. I try so hard not to even roll my eyes or to make a comment to him that will make me mad.

Glassandra got up where she sits and gracefully walked down to where I stand, I bow to her. Glassandra pick my head up to look at me with a smile on my face.

"You all packed and ready to go?" She asked me. To me it feel like it is just me and Glassandra in the room no one else. I wish I would be ready, but no one could be ready to what is out there to be face with.

"I'm ready" I said not even sure with myself.

Glassandra then pulled me into a hug, I was quiet shocked at her action she did, it was like a mothers touch to their child that crave for years to be felt with.

"We'll make it out alive" I said but it was more of a question.

"Of course you'll make it out alive; and I'll be waiting" Glassandra then place a kiss on my forehead that I could not help but close my eyes.

"Be careful. All of you" Her eyes travel to all of us, but her blue eyes stayed on mine the longest.

With one nodded towards us I turn on my heel follow by the others as Hespeta stayed close to my side while the boys, Eldric and Xavier follow on our tails behind.

I don't know what is above the mountains but if monsters crawl in the trials I must know a way to kill it. I have been training to use a bow and swing a sword my whole life and I'll use it to fight my way out of this.
