Elven Quests

Sorry that I have not been posting updates. School shiot  so yeah. I will try to be updating. -Sargent.

Slynaé manipulated the water with ease. I tried and it was a jagged mess. It always made a symbol. A jagged circle with a dot in the middle with a few lines on top. Slynaé ignored it and taught me to make cool things. I made a cat and dog and she laughed.

I blushed and put the water back. "You know there is two types of water elven. There is water type typically, but there are some cases where they can pull water out of thin air and make ice. Here you try." She pulled water from the air. It danced along her fingers and she shot it upward and it froze into daggers and pierced a nearby tree.

She looked at me and I tried. I pulled a. Ice sword from the pond air. It fell to my hands and it felt warm. Like a tingling feeling. Then I handed it to Slynaé. When her hands touched it, her hands instantly shot back and launched her by a tree. She landed on her feet and looked annoyed and curious.

I squeezed it and it melted and went back into the pond. She walked over and i stood. She laughed at what happened. She snorted and giggled. How un lady like. But I joined in and laughed with her.

We both walked back to the castle slowly so we could enjoy the scenery. The guards were chatting when we entered the gates. They stopped and turned their attention towards us and nodded. We nodded back and Slynaé's crown fell off. Now everyone was snorting with laughter.

Slynaé took me to the weaponry room. When we entered, my eyes lit up. There was all kinds of swords, daggers, shields, staffs, and all kinds of maces and more. Slynaé handed me a wooden short sword. She grabbed one her self. She showed me lunges and parries here and there. Then she had me on the ground in five seconds flat.

She taught me better stances and how not to get stabbed. Good advice if you ask me. She lunged again and I blocked it and flung her sword out of her hand. "Good play, Ephia. Good play..." She grabbed it and lunged it at me but I blocked all of her attempts.

She and I were gasping for air when we finished. A maid escorted her and me to my room. "Well, I have to get ready for an advisory meeting soon. But if you want to practice more then just ask a maid to send you one of the knight teachers. I am sure you can learn more from them than what you could with me. See you soon!" She said before hugging me and walking out.

One of the maids started a bath for me as I got undressed. I slipped in the hot water and had my maid scrub my hair. She was humming a familiar tune I recognized. I hummed with her as she scrubbed my hair. When she was done, she left me to soak while she grabbed a towel for me.

I slid underwater and looked at my hands. They had forming blisters and scratches with small splinters. I balled them into fists and screamed under the water. Bubbled rose to the top and popped. I went back up and wiped my eyes with my aching hands. Then the maid entered the room with a warm towel.

I got dried off and changed into my night clothes. "Your highness, would you like your dinner in your quarters?" Asked my maid. "Yes please. Also, would you also bring me a first aid kit, or a medical kit please?" She nodded and scurried off.

She was back in five minutes. My supper was something simple like a veggie soup with some goat milk and a sourdough brisket. She also brought a medical kit. When she left I ate my supper and then wrapped my hands and tended to them. Oh how it felt good to pull out the splinters.

When I was done I remembered Slynaé's words. I called for a maid. "Yes your highness?" "Could you get me a light combat armor please?" She looked puzzled but she went and got me what I asked. She brought it back and helped me into it and out of my bed clothes.

I went to the weapons room and I found a knight that was practicing. He looked at me. "Are you lost your highness?" "No, will you teach me to fight?"

Oh my gosh! The last time I updated this was last year in October. I am so so sorry. From now on these chapters are going to be at least 800 words! I promise!
