The Arcadia Chronicles III: Wood Elf Quest

Grand Lunch

Izanami's POV

My sister, Valien, and I went to the castle backyard, His Majesty is waiting for us. We knelt when we're before his presence Stand. When we stood, he asked Is there anything you can tell me about those humans?

I answered They're quite unpredictable. I can see the curious look on his face What do you mean by 'unpredictable'?

We should've arrived a few days earlier, Your Majesty, but we got ourselves in a couple of hard situations that we can't turn a blind eye on.
I told him first about the Vraglynio witch that got the people of Runa Village on her grasp and how we stopped her, I ended It's not like we actually did much help for those humans are quite determined and good in coordinating with one another.

What's the second one?

I swallowed first When we entered the Forest, we got captured by bandits. His eyes widened What? How did all of you get loose? I look down to the ground It's shameful of me that a warrior of the throne to say this but we all should've been dead by them. I said With respect, Your Majesty, you already noticed that one of them has black magic, right?

Yes, that human girl, she's brimming with it.

And the black swordsman has no magic at all?

He nodded I was wondering about that, too.

I told him what happened, as detailed as possible so that he'll understand.

He's possessed by black magic despite having no mana at all? It sounds ridiculous. He thought for a short while This Kiyan Arcadia, is he dangerous? I answered I would be lying if I said no but if he's with his companions, he's an ordinary human but with a bad history and a power he can't control.

He nodded in understanding I'm just curious about the power in his right hand, does it really just erase magic with just a single touch?

Yes, it's powerful in its own way.

He sighed Thank you for saying this, I got to know my guests for just a little. He then added This may be a bit sudden but I'm sending the rescue group two days from now, with Relia's intention to my daughter behind the clouds, I can't risk another wasted day. You three are a part of the rescue group along with the others I picked myself, be sure to prepare immediately.

Yes, Your Majesty.

And I'm supposed to introduce the humans to the rescue group later on but since the three of you are acquainted with them, I'll leave it to you.

I understand, Your Majesty.

Kiyan's POV

I stepped out to the veranda Flame! Where are you? I thought He just vanishes on his own, I wonder where he's going?

Master!

Flame flew right up to me I apologize for being late but the forest is making it difficult for me to find food. I pet his head as he stood on the railing beside me I'm just a bit worried about you. We're looking at the beautiful scene of a town surrounded by the forest, I can see the tall figures of the citizen Elves walking around. Flame said to me This is a new sight, isn't it, Master? I smiled It sure is, even though we're staying here momentarily, this is a refreshing sight - probably the most amazing place I've ever seen outside the Clan.
