"TEMI!!!"

Kora called me when i was laying on the big branch of a tall tree. I replied

"Would you stop calling me that?!?!?"

"Nah, i won't eheheheheh"

Still laying, i replied again.

"Why you call moi?"

"Oooh... Excusez moi, mademoiselle, my brother want to see you"

Kora said that with her weird Frech accent.

"d'accord"  i replied and jump off the tree. Its a high tree, but Kora teach me a save landing strategy.

And, with the French talk, Kora told me to teach her French. And i don't mind teaching her. And she insisted when we talk everyday she wants to mix English and French, so that she can learn well.

I like the view of the water places, like lake, river, and waterfall. This tall tree i've been laying is near the beside the river that ends into a waterfall. So i can hear the loud noises of the falling water from down there. I also like high ground view. So i like high places. Feel so near to the sky and it comforts me.

Kora's tribe is Oklahoma Cherokee. And live in a village named Reinory.

We walk to the village. I've been regarded as one of them. Though im not.

We entered the chief's tent, greeting, and take a seat.

"Alright, Kora, Artemis, i will go to the point. I want you two to go to Rome. We will trade with Rome. You two will go to Rome and file our trade letter. We will make an alliance with them. If we manage to make an alliance with them, we can use their help for us. You know that sometimes, the Americans wants to take our lands. Indian's lands"

"After we do that, and succeed, i will send you a letter. And can we do something else at Rome?" Kora asked

"What will you do?" Kiro replied

"There's a colosseum there. And gladiator is famous in there. We want to learn a new combat style there" i say it. I really want to try fighting as a gladiator"

"Agree" Kora is agree to me.

"Fine, but be save okay? I know you two are strong. But Rome is a strange city for you two. I wish i could some along. But i have a village to led"

"Its okay, big bro! We can take care of each other"

"Fine. You two will leave tomorrow"

"And... How do w- umph!!

Kora silencing my mouth before i finish my words.

"Nooo... Big brother! We have planned what will we use to Rome. Now, we will start to packing. Kay, bye!!"

Kora said that as she leaves the tent and still holding me.

I pull her hand and wham her down to the ground. But she easily roll up and stand.

"Why did you silencing me?"

"I do not want Kiro decide what we should use to get there. We will ride a ship"

"Pourquoi?"

"I want to see the sea. I have never ride a ship to travel. Lets go by a ship!"

"Alright, then. I've never gone by a ship too though"

Tomorrow...

At the Harbour...

"Bye!!!" We shout and wave to Kiro and his soldier beside him. He can only accompany us until the harbour.

The ship is began to sail.

We relaxing on the deck and enjoying the view of the sea. Its beautiful. Everything is blue.

Here to Rome will need a few days.

At the 2nd day, at the afternoon... When Kora and i chatter...

We saw a big ship... With black flag and white mark that is skull shaped.

"Aaaah!!! Pirates!!!" The captain shout to his crew

*Thump

"ARRR!!! WE HERE AIN'T FOR YA'LL PRECIOUS THING!!! THOSE WHO DON'T WANT TO DIE, HAS TO SPARE AND FOLLOW OUR ORDERS!!!"

Many people there kneel down and let the pirates tie their hands.

"Kora, should we have to surrender? We can't fight 'em right now. We don't know their plans"

"Hm... Yeah you're right. One wrong move, they're gonna attack us. And we still don't know how they fight. This is in the middle of the ocean. They know the ocean"

"Okay, when we arrived at their headquarters, and know who they are, we'll plan a escaping plan"

"Right"

We kneel down and follow them to their ship.

We sit at their pirate ship's deck. Hands still tied.

The ship sail near the island. And at the island, we ordered to change into a smaller ship. And the small ship sail through the river among the woods. When we have entered a dense forest area, we saw a two big trees at the side of the jungle. And at the both tree it has a small house. But maybe not a house. But it look alike. And a bridge that connected the two houses at the big tree. The bridge and the small tree house has a unique and beautiful shape. And at the tree there's stairs taht maybe brings to the tree house.

When i saw that

When i saw that...

"Hey, Kora, i think this kind of building reminds me of elf or maybe a fairy"

"Really? I've never know a village of an elf and i thought fairies and elves are small creatures"

"Maybe there's small and a human size too?"

As the ship sails to the deepest part of the forest, there are an another big tree that has a long leaves that covered the way. When the ship entered the leaves that like a large curtains...

We saw... A castle. And a village around the castle Many elves that has size as big as humans, fly through the village using a bird. Elves don't have wings, but they're a high jumper. Many knowns that elves is mastered archery.

"Wait, i thought we're captured by a pirates" Kora seems so confused.

When we looked back, the pirates is an elf. The pirate look is just a costume.

The big question in our minds is...


Why the elves captured us? Did they need us?
