Just Another Threat on My Life (Yeah Right)
Blood was dripping down my face, my breathing was ragged. I tried to stand up and a feeling of intense pain coursed through me. "Damn it." I cursed, only a little more…
Just… a little more…
"How pitiful, is this the best that the last descendant of the Euryuelle tribe capable of?" A condescending voice mocked me.
"Can it, Oh so great Lady of Darkness!" I spat at her, no one insults my clan if I have anything to say about it. Just who the hell is she barging into my mundane life; here I was enjoying a peaceful and carefree day and I'm suddenly a target for assassination!
"Tsk tsk, what bad manners, I'm disappointed…such a great clan has fallen into such a state." There was a hint of nostalgia in that tone. I was surprised I expected another insult, but the way that was delivered there was no hint of malice only a deep…sadness?
"What do you know about the Euryuelle tribe?" I asked in a harsh tone that was rather uncharacteristic of my usual levelled voice.
That's it, I just have to keep her talking until I can-
A laugh that sent chills down my spine suddenly erupted from the woman before me, a finger lifted my chin and I stared into dark red eyes.
"I know everything about them, and I assure you, your pitiful attempt at trying to distract me while inscribing a rune is futile. I have already set up a barrier in this area that prevents anything from escaping or entering."
My eyes widened at those words, she already saw right through me from the start! If that is true then- "Why?"-why did you leave me alive? I spoke that single word conveying an unspoken question.
"Because, if you were to die that would mean the end of such a great race, even among the elves our tribe was the wisest and most powerful." My heart stopped.
WHAT? Our tribe? Then that means-
As if reading my thoughts, cold red eyes that were still staring at my own confused emerald ones softened. "Yes, I am a part of the Euryuelle tribe as well." She smiled a wistful smile that just made my already troubled emotions go into even more disarray.
She stood up and extended her hand at me. "Come with me Rielle, let us rebuild our destroyed race and show these inferior beings the true rulers of this world!"
"I-I" I was at lost for words.
She's the same as me?
But even so she was evil
Is that even the truth? But my friends-
They might have just misunderstood!
No! They're-
"Lire!" A sudden voice came from above as a figure came down between me and her. A sword was pointed at the enemy in front of us (is she really an enemy?) "Are you alright Ms Lire?" asked Ronan without turning in my direction, as he was cautiously eying the one in front of him.
"Y-yeah, a little sore but I'll manage." I was relieved my friends found me but I was still shaky from what I learned.
The woman frowned at my friend "How did you get inside my barrier?" she hissed, clearly not liking the sudden interruption.
"That is not your concern and I suggest that you leave my allies are going to arrive here in a few seconds." He calmly replied. I was sure that he would have attacked her earlier if I wasn't injured but his chivalric code must have made my safety his highest priority.
The woman before us just turned and walked away casting a glance my way as I heard a whisper in my mind 'We will meet again Elise Rielle Euryuelle' as she disappeared in a mist of darkness.
Ronan lowered his sword and quickly held up his hand that I took gratefully, helping me stand. "Are you sure you're alright Ms Lire?" he asked again after seeing me flinch as I stood up. "Yes, I think I just landed on my leg a little too hard, but I can walk." I reassured him and smiled teasingly. "If you show me too much concern Elesis might get jealous you know?"
"Um… N-no t-t-that's not- We're not!" He fumbled with his words, taking pity on him I changed the subject.
"Anyway, now that I was attacked again you have to tell me everything that you know and no more secrets!" I said seriously, Ronan just sighed and nodded his face set in the same expression I wore. "Alright I think its time that the order became honest with you. We'll meet up with Ms Arme and the others, after your wounds have been tended to we will tell you all you wish to know."
Confused? Well I am too, my Name is Lire Eurelle and not long before all this major happenings in my life, I was just your average high school student, well… As normal as you can get being an elf living in the 21st century anyway. As I was saying, I was living a pretty normal life until about two weeks ago, so I guess I'll start from there and tell you about all that happened and how I found myself in this predicament of being the key to a war between good and evil, Isn't that great? note the sarcasm.
