The Lost Elf Warrior

Chapter Fifty One

CLARITY

It has been a month; the moon has rise and that means I will get to see what is inside the cottage that my mother might be hiding in. The demon elves seem to have left for now there has not been any trouble, but I would not say that too soon, they could be planning something any time soon. We have trained daily, every morning and every time we could, other Lords and Ladies around the realm has sent their finest knights and lords to train with us elf warriors for when the war will happened. But for me it seems I have not been sleeping good in a while. I have been trying to keep guard whatever might happened and the flashes of the vision I saw still in the back of my mind. War is coming. And I am ready to face what will come.

In my chambers with the fire place burning keeping the room warm and the sky outside dark as the shadows; I stand here tying my shoe lace together super tight then I do when I head of to training but this time my face hold a sharp look, my eyes narrow as I look at my reflection in the mirror. Seeing myself like this I would never imagine I would be fighting when this war comes, from where I start, I was always knew I was different to other children I never was such a lady girl at my young age but coming here showed me things that I would never believe would be real. But the only one can answer my questions and know who I truly am is my mother. She's the only reason I am doing all this for.

I braid my auburn hair tightly letting a few of my lose curl hair let lose. Letting a huff out I turn around and pick up the bow I found, it's so weird that I am the only one who could touch it but also it is away we could end this war if it is a weapon we could use against them.

"Knock, knock" I heard Hespeta voice with a knock on the door. I turn to face her as I put down my bow walking over to Hespeta.

"You going to Glassandra about that cottage they found?" Hespeta asked me. She is always on bord when it comes to these things; and she is smarter then she even thinks.

"It's been a month, the moon has risen; we need to find what's in there or of my mother before the war comes, I know it's close by and I also saw it was on a fall moon" I explain but we don't know what month or what the war will start.

"I wish I could come but Orianna, Valerian and I are heading down to the wine section, Valerian wants to get wasted and Orianna's moon cycle started today so some wine might help her forget the pain" Hespeta said, my face scrunch up at the through of Orianna in pain from her moon cycle.

"Oh, us ladies have to feel the pain in every moon while the cunt of males just sit on the ass drink wine and don't understand the pain we go through" I said. My words are true what I say even when I grew up some time with my mother, I never knew who my father is and lucky he would never understand where I come from and who I am.

"My father never understand the language of us girls, but he tried too. I remember when I was little my father found me in the garden in the Vale, I was asleep from growing flowers and plants. He scoup me up into his arms and carried me inside and into bed. He was every father every little girl they wanted" Hespeta said I can see the sad smile on her face knowing she lost her father and her mother I don't how I would be if I lost my mother.

"I never... well, know who my father is" I started pausing for a moment to get the right words to say.

"You don't?" Hespeta asked looking at me I wrapped my arms around myself hugging myself.

"No. I don't know if he was an elf if my mother was...is or human. I did asked about him to my mother when I was little and every time my mother just seem to tell me to not talk about it that we don't need him. She talks like he is dead" I explain as I look at Hespeta who is listening to me.

"Maybe your father did something that made your mother fear him. She must have been scared" Hespeta said putting a hand on my shoulder, supporting me.

"What like my father is scary wizard in those stories?" I asked, joking that if in those stories that I have read that if my father was one.

"When the time comes and we find your mother you can asked her but if she can't tell you, you need to give her time" Hespeta words seem to sink into me. She is right but in what time will I have with the person who showed me love and taught me things.

"Thank you" I said to her, a small smile written on my face.

"For what?" She asked seem confused why I am thanking her.

"For everything" I said with a light chuckle in my voice.

"You have support me, helped me through everything, you have been kind to me even when I was a stranger to you showing up out of the blue. You did not need to do all this, and you came with me to Above the Mountains preying that I would survive, and I did. I don't what I would have done if I did not have you holding my hand" I explained. It felt like the right words and feelings were slipping out of my lips and it was something I dread to feel and have, someone holding my hand through everything and Hespeta did.

"You may were a stranger at the start from all of us but when I saw you, I wanted to be you biggest supporter, your training mate but most of all I wanted to be your best friend. And you are Clarity, your my best friend" The last words that Hespeta said came out as a whisper and I could not help myself but feel my heart drop at the feeling having a best friend like Hespeta.

Without even thinking I wrapped my arms around Hespeta neck and pulled her in burying my face in her hair. Sometimes I am not a big on hugging cause all my life I never felt someone hug me long not even my own mother hugged me long enough, but I knew some did not like hugs but with Hespeta, she would never turn down a hug. I inhale her scent smelling her hair that filled with lavender and oils products she has used.

"I should go and meet Orianna and Valerian before they kill each other" Hespeta said pulling away from the hug but taking both of my hands.

"Tell Valerian I'm still piss at him" I said. I have still been piss at Valerian from what I found out about Xavier and Bianca and yet I still want to tell Glassandra but them two keep stopping me.

"Why through?" Hespeta asked, brows raised up.

"It's not my part to say but he keep something that Xavier done, and I found out, I can't even tell anyone" I explain. Hespeta chuckle after I said that.

"Well, it's been a month, and it is torturing Valerian that you are not speaking to him" Hespeta said amused about Valerian being all whinny.

"Hmm. Good he deserve it" I said which made Hespeta laugh.

"Okay I'm going to go and if you need help at all on this mission. Just call my name I'll come" Hespeta said which I was confused what she mean by call her name, but I nodded in understanding.

And as I was left in my chambers alone, I know deep down that this war is getting closer and that we need to act.

Everyone has something they are doing it for some are fighting for their Queen, Glassandra but I am doing this for someone else.

"Doing this all for you, mama" I said.

I pick up my sword and put it away and I left my chambers heading to Glassandra's chambers.

Doing all this for love, for her.
