It was a cool autumn morning. Yet no weather could stop his further actions. Satoru found himself following the elf in prompt to yesterday's events. To his surprise he found the elf much happier than the day before as he had begun to follow her as she exited the inn. The first place and the only place she had gone before leaving town was the blacksmith. A usual trade of gold for a fine quiver filled with arrows was a usual. Every so often she would fix her bow there or repair her armor. But through the few minutes that went by the cleric began to think about what he was doing. He finally pieced the facts together and began to mutter "I feel like a stalker" trying his best to keep his eyes on her.
After a few more minutes the elf finally said her thanks and bade farewell to the blacksmith. She turned her attention to the sun and the serious look returned to her face. She immediately ran swiftly towards the village entrance and stopped. She turned only her head to receive a quick glance of the warrior who was standing there just in time to bid her farewell. As if to not waste any time he said "Pala Telejia, may the blessings of the tree of life be with you". She replied "thank you, may destiny bring me fortune". She quickly began to run through the forest. She ran at high speeds until she reached the perimeter of an abandoned ruin. The entire ruin was composed of 3 stories. The first being ground level, the second inclined by stairs, the third and the highest of them all was a circular arena with walls barely standing but enough to hide behind.
The elf quickly stopped and stealthily hid behind one of the entrances. She had spotted her target. A 25 year old dark elf dressed in dark green clothing. She had been causing a conspiracy between the elves and dark elves. This conspiracy had led to a feud between both kinds of elves and even monsters were involved. With an army of monsters they were told to attack human settlements. Result of this action was the humans blaming the elves.
With the tension building between the humans and elves, no further details were given to her. There was a determined look on her face. It was unimaginably hard to find that dark elf. This was her first, and maybe the only chance she had in a long time. The dark elf had spread her conspiracy among different lands gaining followers everywhere. The elf could care less about the number of followers she had, regaining trust between humans and elves was not her mission. Her mission was to eliminate her.
The target was in her range of fire. She readied her bow and used the element of surprise. She stud up and fired a few arrows only to be easily dodged by the dark elf. Soon she found herself running from door to door and firing at every opening changing direction every now and then. Finally, after she found the element of surprise unhelpful, she tumbled towards the dark elf and attempted to kick her. The dark elf merely stepped back and flawlessly returned her kick with a kick of her own, successfully knocking her back until she hit the wall of the already damaged ruin.
After giving a pitiful stare towards the elf, she laughed at her face derisively and finally spoke "so, what brings you here? Angry, a human enraged you and you finally know the truth that I caused it? Spit it out" the dark elf kicked her in the stomach. She coughed and said "this is my telejia". The dark elf started to laugh even harder and said "telejia huh? Such a young elf to encounter hers it's almost pitiful where it has brought you". The elf feeling she had an opening decided to try to sweep her off her feet with a low kick. The dark elf once again evading stepped back. The elf saw this as another opening and tumbled away to gain some more distance. She started to fire an entire barrage of arrows only to be evaded. All of her efforts in vain, she let her bow down and removed her quivers. She ran up to the elf and began to attack her with a series of punches and kicks all to be evaded again. The dark elf once more easily kicked her and she flew back the same way as before. She continued with her attempts again and again until she started panting. At this point, it began to rain.
The dark elf began to laugh again "who knew that the elf they would send to defeat me was so useless. Your telejia is seriously to defeat me? Maybe your telejia is to die here" after saying that and laughing some more, she began to engage is short distance combat. The elf evaded her attacks but fighting like this in her boots and in the rain, she slipped and was hit by several claws, punches, and finally another kick sending her flying back the exact same way as before. She knelt on the now wet ground and held her head in frustration. The dark elf spoke once more only one word to describe her current position "pitiful" and raised a hand to deliver a finishing blow. The elf began to cry and in her thoughts she slowly said in a trembling voice "I need you, Eri". At that moment the dark elf's claw came down only to be blocked by a shield. "Satoru" the elf exclaimed in a faint voice. Satoru stood there shield at readied position looking straight at the dark elf with piercing eyes. The dark elf laughed at his expression "so this boy comes to save you? More like tamper with your telejia hah. Maybe you will choose to run away from your telejia in the end just like our previous queen. Like I keep on saying, you are pitiful for an elf. You rather live than follow your telejia".
The elf was silent for a while and said "he is part of my telejia". A smirk came across Satoru's face and he said "that's all I needed to hear" at that moment he raised his shield and hit the dark elf sending her staggering backwards. The dark elf regained her balance by doing a backflip a common move done by most dark elves. She smirked as well and said "well this has gotten interesting, but 2 vs. 1 is not really fair is it? I will leave you to your thoughts my business is done here anyways" the elf started to flip and sprint away. Satoru turned towards the elf to check on her wounds but at that moment the elf looked terrified even of him. She got up and ran away as fast as she could while holding the parts of her body that had opened wounds. She made her way back to the village by herself. Satoru had only one thing on his mind "Eri".
