Chapter 7

Tsunami

"Miss Jackson!" Someone called.

I frowned, what do they want?

The dragon landed in the middle of the town. The rider spoke in elvish, murmuring to his dragon.

I spoke in elvish as well, "What do you want?"

"I come to ask you a favor." He showed no fear, but I could tell it dwelled inside him, burning like a forest fire.

"A favor?" Someone yelled out, a crowd started to form around the dragon and rider, "what favours have you Night Elves done for us? Go back to your Blood Elf allies!" People started screaming, yelling and arguing.

I raised my hand to hush them, "What is it you want to ask?"

Vergo hid behind me, Char, Estrella, and Snowdrop were somewhere I could not see, but I trusted them.

"We have recently been attacked, as you probably know, your highness, and our kingdom is suffering. Please, we ask for your mercy. We know what we have done, please, forgive us." He bowed his head respectfully.

Now that I had thought about it, he looked scrawny, wouldn't be able to hold a paper bag.

"Philikira, do give him some bread, Loose Fit, and Tawny Grass, please."

Philikira sprang into action, giving the man herbs to treat him. He refused them.

"No need for refusal." I told him.

With hesitation, he took them, "uh... Thank y-you......"

Many elves from the clan looked at me, disbelieving. The rider swallowed the bitter herbs. I knew he was probably used to the bitter-sweet herbs, but I gave him water to suck it down.

"Thank you your high-"

"Tsunami."

"Er... Tsunami. Thank you, Tsunami."

"I will send a patrolling party for your kingdom. Tell your leader they mean no harm."

"Yes, and on behalf of my clan, thank you."

And with that, he took off, not before giving praise and giving his dragon some herbs as well.

"Why'd you give them help?" A man's rude tone rose higher than the others, I shot him an angry glance.

"If you must know," I began, "The leader that attacked the kingdoms is now gone; and they shall be treated as brothers and sisters. They are not allied with blood elves any longer."

"May I ask, how do you know?" The man said, more polite.

"I killed him; my own bow and arrows." I claimed.
