The market was bustling with various noises that came from the different races. Some of them nodded to me in respect for the elementals. I had yet to see any of my kin due to the fact that we are a nearly extinct race. The reason being is that we once thrived in harmony, but our king grew to greedy and used his power as an elemental to get what he wanted. The other races retaliated and slaughter my kin. The survivors fled and blended in amongst the humans. Some were bold enough to venture back and make peace with the others races.
I stopped at a vendor and looked at the trinkets the neko was selling. Yet, finding none to my liking I bid the Neko farewell and followed Abe. Apparently he was stalking an elf. Elves are never hard to miss with their distinctive features. The main features being their chalky white and almost white hair. We followed her into a library of scrolls. Abe began looking for the stranger while I began scanning the various scrolls when a voice shattered my looking.
" answer truthfully why were you following me?"Nuala asked drawing a dagger on Abe.
" My name is Abraham sapien and that one over there is Gwen" He replied pointing to me.
" There is no such name as Abe sapien" She replied moving the dagger towarsd his thorat
" Well I don't like it either but i---
" Enough, give me your hand" Nuala interjected
" Your hand" She repeated and placed hers upon his outstretched one.
" You are an agent for the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense and your name is...oh" She said withdrawing her hand
" Horrible I know"
" I'm Nuala. princess Nuala"
" yes I know. forgive me your highness but as you were learning about me I couldn't help but learn about you"
By then I had turned my attention to the oncoming footsteps that sounded like something big was coming. I saw the door burst open and a large troll entered and turned to look at Abe and Nuala. My eyes widened and I ran to Abe with seething anger.
" Less talking more running fish" I said in a pissed off voice due to the delay.
I turned my head and nodded in respect as Abe said " Out the window now"
I jogged alongside the princess as we entered the alleyway of the market. Only to turn around to see Abe getting pummeled by the troll. My hands began crackling and hissing as lightning surged through them. I was considering electrocuting the troll but couldn't find an opening. So the lightning died away and I took on the earth lore. My hands rested against the ground and thick vines shot out and wrapped themselves around the trolls thick legs, stalling long enough for Nuala to help the fallen Abe.
" Go now go" He said noticing the vines were breaking.
Both of us nodded and ran into the streets. I heard the sound of a gun shot deflecting off metal and peered over my shoulder to see Hellboy to the rescue as usual.
" get outta here Blue, you to Hobbit" Hellboy said lighting his Cuban cigar.
I nodded and patted his arm for good luck, then I was on my merry way with Abe and the princess. It only took a few minutes before we found Johann and began making our way back to Hellboy. He had a bloody nose and had lost a tooth from what I could tell. I couldn't help but snicker at his reaction to the lost tooth.
" My god what had you done agent Hellboy now we have to leave" Johann scolded
" Red, this is Princess Nuala" Abe said.
I rolled my eyes and began making my way back to the entrance all the while listening to Johann scolding Hellboy for his reckless behavior. I reached into my pocket and found that I had dropped my Mp3 player at the entry. I saw the tiny object lying near the door way still in good condition. Happily, I ran and bent down to pick it up while checking for any scratches. I was halfway to the exit, when my body suddenly stopped since I was still using my earth lore. I tensed, feeling someone behind me.
