Secret of the Blue Forest (COMPLETED)

Part 17

Five days have passed, Red was still in bed. He took pretty bad wounds but he was getting medical attention from one of Atlan's troll. When Red opened his eyes, he saw the troll for the first time. Troll had a disfigured face and had Brown skin which looked like dirt and had hair looking like grass. Red understood how they were able to move in Blue Forest unnoticed. This troll never spoke anything but according to Brett he was treating Red with medicine made with human ingredients and magic mixed up with them. Red could feel his recovery at a miraculous rate. He suffered very bad hit on head when Lord Artis's riders came from back. Red and his men were caught off guard. Red killed one of them but a rider rode him over with his horse. Horse hoof opened up his head. But now Troll was treating him and in five days Red was almost able to walk without feeling shooting pains in his head.He was briefed with the situation. Small rider groups were often spotted and chased. Lord Artis was looking for a opportunity. Red was sitting in castle's garden. He had an apple in his hand. He was looking in the sky. Red heard a faint scream from inside the castle. It was a girl's voice. Right then a servant came to Red and said

"Lord Brett sent a message, he asked you to come to your room"

Red stood up and walked to his room. It took some time because he could not walk with his regular speed. No one was allowed in this part of the castle because of Troll attending to Red. When Red reached his room, he saw Atlan and Brett leaving his room along with three trolls. Atlan saw Red and smiled. He said

"I bring you a gift Red"

Brett's face showed a little anger, he said

"It was meant for one of our very important man so you better not waste it"

All walked past Red while he stood still. After getting at a distance where Red could not hear them. Brett said in low voice
"It might make a problem"

Atlan smiled and replied

"We need to control him, we need something and this will give us the answer"

"Whatever you say"

Brett replied and they kept on walking.

Red waited for them to go. Then he opened the door. There was a girl tied up on his bed with his face covered with a sack. Her pitch black long hairs told Red that it was the Elf. He exhaled a big breath. Elf heard it and said

"Who is there?"

Red did not reply. She asked again

"Who is there? Release me"

Red's hand went up to her face to remove the sack but he stopped. His heart started pounding and he felt a little nervous. he thought to himself

"What the hell Red"

Elf screamed again

"Get this off of my head"

He shook his head from left to right.

He walked out of the room, this was very bad for him. He always was brave and a symbol of terror for his enemies because he had no weaknesses. Nobody knew who he was or anyone who could be used to get Red emotionally hurt or blackmailed. This was his secret. Red walked towards Brett's study where Atlan had his meetings with Brett. Bryte saw him coming, he opened the door for him and both walked in. Atlan was sitting with Brett. They both saw Red and Brett said

"there goes the Elf, Bryte send someone to clean his room"

Atlan said

"Why you killed her Red, Brett was giving it to one of his own man as a reward but i insisted to give her to you and such beauty"
