2. The final Elf of Djumbial
Alder woke up and saw his mother and brother were gone but Yami was still asleep. He walked to his cupboard and pulled out his forest gear and his staff.
"Alder are you awake", shouted his mother.
"Yes", shouted Alder.
His mother charged into the room and gave him two bags containing bread and some sleeping supplies.
"What is this for?", he asked.
"I thought since your brother and you can hunt meat and defend yourselves better now the two of you can take your sister into the forest to go camping", she said.
"Okay then", he said.
Alder went and spoke to Sorrow and Hemli to tell them him and his brother would be gone for a few days. After telling going around and telling everyone they would be gone the headed for the forest. Aliak pulled the still asleep Yami onto his back and then they headed towards the giant lake near the bottom of the mountains.
"Alder, Aliak how much longer I'm getting very hungry", squeaked Yami.
"We're going to collect water from the lake and then head up to a place so we can get meat we will set up camp there okay", said Aliak.
Yami fell back asleep and Alder and Aliak walked towards the lake.
"What was that", said Alder drawing his sword.
"Like you said to me last week it's your imagination", said Aliak.
"No, it's not it's scaring me", said Yami.
Alder and Aliak turned with their weapons, Alder with his staff and Aliak with his crossbow.
"Boys, what's happening", asked Yami.
"Shh, it's okay", whispered Aliak.
Yami clutched Aliaks neck until the point she was choking him.
"Yami you're choking me", he shouted.
Alder turned towards the mountains and saw a small brown figure running in the direction of the village. He pulled his staff and killed it. Alder ran towards the body and saw a horned small elf, with some very bare robes and a short sword.
The three set up camp near the base of the lake. Even though they wanted to go home they had promised their mother to go camping.
"Yami go to sleep", whispered Alder stroking her hair.
"What did you find?", asked Alder as Aliak came towards the camp.
"A couple of Shnubs and whatever this is", holding up a dead creature.
"Well it's good we'll divide up a Shnub and put that into the sacks to take back to Curfraud", said Alder.
Aliak cooked the meat and fed Yami and then the brothers fell asleep.
PS. Yes I am aware this is a very short chapter but that is because I plan on the next being really long.
