Very, VERY, sorry if anyone was disappointed by the last chapter, and if it
seemed rushed. Hopefully this one will be more enjoyable for you.
Several months have passed since Kevin got forgiveness from Jad. Though this time, he went to every single person, and individually apologised to him or her. He did not enjoy the forgiveness from Jad, because it was somewhat forced upon them. Thankfully, the people outside of Jad were much more forgiving. Of course, they never had to suffer to the beastmen like Jad had too.
"Where are we going next?" Carlie asked while riding Flammie.
"I want to go to the elven lands now"
"Well that should be easy, everyone there are friends"
"You don't understand, hundreds years ago, wars were all around. The beastmen went to the elven lands and slaughtered many elves"
Carlie sighed, "Do the beastmen ever do anything nice?" she said sarcastically.
To Kevin's surprise, most of the elves were rather quick to forgiving him. They regarded, him saving the world, enough to redeem himself. However, there was one elf, who didn't forgive as easily.
"I will never forgive what you have done to my people, beast"
"But grandpa, please—" Carlie said, to her elven grandparent.
"Stay out of this Carlie" her Grandfather scolded.
"Wasn't saving the world enough for redemption?" Kevin asked.
"Saving the world? Why would I care, your kind destroyed our world!"
Even though Kevin knew the answer perfectly well, he asked, "How did my 'kind' destroy your world?"
"Elves live a long time, and I remember the beastmen coming into our lands, and slaughtering the majority of innocents. I remember the horrible screams, though I was just a lad then"
"How did 'I' destroy your world?" Kevin asked.
"You ask to be forgiven because of your heritage, not because of what you did!"
"Grandpa! That was a long time ago, the beastmen are probably very sorry now," Carlie said in Kevin's defence again.
"Kevin, unless you have something else to say, leave my home"
Kevin remained silent for a few moments, shook his head, "I-I'm sorry" he said, with sadness in his voice. He turned around and ran out.
"Kevin wait!" Carlie yelled.
"Carlie, I need to talk to you--" Her grandfather started.
Carlie, turned around to face him, "Why did you treat him so badly you meanie!?" she said furiously.
"Carlie, you have to understand that--"
"He's not like the other beastmen! He's nice! When I was hurt, he helped me to an Inn! When I was about to die in the forest, he saved my life! Why can't you see that he's nice!? Why can't you forgive him like the others!?" She yelled, tears pouring out of her eyes.
"Carlie, you're too naïve. One day, you'll se that--" Carlie turned towards the door and ran out after Kevin "Carlie wait!" He yelled in vain.
Carlie found Kevin and Karl at her parents grave "I'm so sorry about what my grandfather said" Carlie said running up beside Kevin, who was sitting down in front of the graves.
"It's alright" Kevin said "I will just stay here until he does forgive me. It's what I have to do"
There was a long quiet before Carlie asked "What were you doing out here?"
"Asking for forgiveness"
"From who?" Carlie said looking around. Kevin pointed at the two graves in front of him. "Why are you asking for forgiveness from my parents?" she said.
"For every blood drop you bleed, for every tear you shed, for every blow that hit your body, when we were saving the world"
"Thank you!" She said hugging him.
One of the elves came out of the shadows "Carlie, you grandfather wishes to see you and Kevin" he said.
"Tell him I won't see him!" She said angrily.
"Then I will" Kevin said. "Carlie, there should be no reason to say no to seeing someone"
"Well, me and grandpa…got into a fight"
"Well then you should see him to say you're sorry"
"But I-I … you're right"
"Ahem! This way please" the elf said. They were led back to Carlie's grandfather's house.
"Kevin, I must say, I'm sorry. Carlie is right, you are most certainly not like the beastmen that attacked these lands several hundred years ago. I was prejudging you of welled up hate inside. You are truly good at heart, and, I grant you forgiveness"
"Thank you sir" Kevin said
"I'm sorry that I yelled at you grandpa" then, she ran up besides him and said "Thank you grandpa"
Yay, finished another chapter, and again, horribly sorry if the last chapter seemed rushed.
