Chapter 3: 'They call me Guardian.'

I felt that I was falling immediately. It was just like when I jumped off a bridge once. The only difference was that at that time I was tied to the bridge railing, and now absolutely nothing held me. The panic in me grew. I really wanted to cry. Is this my end? At that moment, many things I still wanted to do, and words I wanted to say to my dearest, flashed through my mind. Tears began to thrust into my eyes and my hair rolled around my head. I just wanted to close my eyes and wait for the pain of falling. To wait for my end. But something didn't allow me to close my eyes. Something made me look down as I was falling. The ground below was really magical. Untouched country, where as if never touched by a man. At this thought, I noticed a figure standing at the edge of the forest. There wasn't only one! There were countless numbers of them. When the light began to reflect from them, I realized something. Below me was the army. I guess I already went crazy, but at that moment I only thought that there was an elven army under me. I still had the necklace in my hand, so I pressed it firmly into my palm. I closed my eyes firmly and expected a painful fall ...

They all looked at the figure falling down. She came out of nowhere. King Lester smiled happily, but when the light appeared in the sky and then another figure, he just gritted his teeth."What is he doing here ?!" the king growled, instructing his troops to be prepared. That human was supposed to be his!The other figure, wearing a long, dark green cloak, caught HIS human in the arms !

Suddenly someone grabbed me in his arms and wrapped around me his cloak. At that moment I opened my eyes and looked at my savior. He had short-cut black hair, brown eyes, and a short beard coupled with soft fusions under his nose. I haven't been able to look at him for a long time, as we finally hit the ground. I did not even feel the fall in his arms, I just heard the ground thumping under us, and a wisp of dust rose up around us. I wanted to look at the army that was still there, but he didn't allow me to. Immediately he folded me out of his arms, drew me on his chest, put his hand on my head, and covered me in his entire cloak from head to toe."Don't move and be quiet. You are safe with me, but I'd rather not take the risk, "my rescuer commanded me, and I preferred to obey him. Suddenly there was a voice. I heard him clearly, but I couldn't understand the words.

"What you're hiding under the cloak is mine," King Lester shouted as the two figures fell a few yards away."

And what is yours?" asked figure in the cloak.

"That doesn't need to bother you, Guardian! Give it to me!" angry King already shouted.  When soldiers heard who is standing in front them, they looked at their leader in surprise.

"As long as it's with me, it's mine. But I hope very much that what you were waiting for was not human, Lester," the Guardia smiled and the old Elvish king bit his lip."

Human? But how would he get here? And what would the king want to do with human? " those words began to whine between Lester's soldiers. On the one hand, they were afraid of the Guardian because they knew why they called him the Guardian and, on the other, they feared people. There was still fear among people that they would come and kill them all. Those concerns remained unfounded. Until now. Lester turned to his people.

"Don't worry, no human is here or will ever be," he tried to calm them down. After a moment of persuasion, he finally succeeded. Full of hatred and anger, he turned to the Guardian and sent a thought to him."

You got me now! But next time you will fail and that human will be in my hands! You will not protect him forever! "

"Just try it, you old fox," the Guardian sent thpse words to him and smiled happily. The old elf turned angry with his back and gave the order to leave. After a while, only the Guardian and the human he covered with his cloak stood by the forest.

"I think we shouldn't be here for long. Otherwise that fox will change his mind, " said my rescuer after a while in my language.

"How do you master my language and their language? And what did you talk about? "I asked as soon as I got free from under his cloak.

"I will answer everything, we just have to move elsewhere. So, Lucy, close your eyes for a while and hold on to me! " he ordered me. Immediately I had a question on my tongue, how did he know my name, but I better grabbed his elbow and closed my eyes. He took me into his arms and I heard a strange sound. Something flickered in the air, and I felt a strong stream of air on my face. So we were flying. I longed to open my eyes and look at it. But since the moment I looked down why I was falling I still had an invisible hand squeezing my heart and I wasn't breathing the easiest. At another moment, we seemed to have landed because my rescuer had put me down.

"You can already open your eyes. Come in, " he said and I finally opened them. The first thing I saw was an open door to a small wooden house. It looked very simple. My rescuer stood beside me holding the door open so I walked in. I managed to look back before the door was closed. So this was no house in the middle of the forest, but a house in the middle of the sky!

"Sit down," he pushed my chair away from the desk and I finally sat down and finally breathed. I don't know why, but I felt safe here even though this certainly wasn't an ordinary house and neither was the man. Only now, when you folded your cloak and hung it over another chair, did I notice that his hands were strewn with various black tattoos. But they were not concrete images, only different circles and lines. He put a chair in front of me and sat down.

"Maybe I should introduce myself first. That will probably be the simplest, " he said, and I nodded.

"In this world, they call me Gus or the Guardian. You may wonder what I am the guardian of. Well, I keep the line between this world and yours. It's been a long time, so you don't have to ask about my age. I won't even tell you that. Well, back to the point. Long ago, this world and yours were all one. You've already seen snippets from this world, so I won't surprise youwhen I will say that people and elves lived in that common world. Who was the first in the world could not remember even the oldest elves anymore. At that time, I only took care of that so noone will remember it. But over time, the elves began to enslave people. They showed that they were a higher race because of their longevity, and since the only way they could survive was to soak up the Power of the world. Power is something that both humans and elves have been made of, but since the elves have lived for a long time, their Power has gradually disappeared. On the other hand, people were overflowing with Power. Elves have always been able to use the power of nature and Power, so they enslaved people to use them as a source of Power. However, this enslavement did not last long. People united and stood up against the elven. In a short time, they were able to exterminate almost half the entire elven population. People have not marked the losses on their side, yet you are used to having a limited life. Finally, someone higher had to intervene. He, who created everything, eventually divided the two races into two worlds and created a border between them. And here we come to my role. I guard this line so that no elf gets into your world and no man gets into the world of elves. "

"But... What am I doing here? How did I get here? " I asked, and Gus had already opened his mouth to answer, but someone knocked on the door and he frowned ...
