Chapter 11: Treant Forest of the elves
The group quickly left the castle town and southwest to the Forest of the elves. But now they were just three. Klarth, Cless and Sara only one of them could summon element magic now or so they other two thought. The whole time walking there Sara didn't say a word. Cless felt worried that she was so quiet. He hopes she was alright.
They were about to enter the forest now. "Are you alright…?" cless asked walking up to her to look at her. She slowly nodded, "I'm alright just a bit tired…" she whispered looking away from him. "…?" cless looked a bit confused at her. It was like she was trying not to make eye contact with him.
Klarth coughed a bit as the three enter the forest. A guard quickly stops them. "This is the elf's forest humans may not enter…" He said holding a hand in front of them. Klarth pulled out a paper and hand it over to the guard. "We have this letter from the king…" the guard quickly started to read it.
The guard slowly nodded hand it back over to klarth. "I'm sorry sir. Go ahead..." the guard said stepping aside. Klarth nodded to the other two. "The elf's village is to the northwest in the forest." Klarth said as the group started into the forest.
But cless kept worrying because she was so quiet. He wonders why she just didn't like elves. No she got along with arche just fine. That couldn't be it. Then what could it be, he wondered.
Cless felt klarth pat his shoulder. He slowly looked over to klarth. "Just let her be…" cless nodded to klarth. But he couldn't help but feel worry about his friend.
They finally made it to the elf village enter. Klarth show the letter to the guards then they step aside. Cless watched Sara point her head toward the ground. It was like she was scared to show her face for some reason?
"Well. I'll go talk to Rambard...you two can wait by the forest at the end of the village…" they both nodded to klarth as he enters a house. "You want…go to shopping with me…?" cless asked looking over to Sara. She quickly shook her head.
"No…I'll wait by the forest. By the end of the village…" she quickly started toward the end of the village. Cless looked very confused by this. She was looking very worried about something. Like she shouldn't be here; Cless couldn't understand it.
Cless shrugged the feeling off and enter the item store. He found lots of elves in a little group talking. "Did you hear? I heard princess naru is returning sometime today!" a male elf said. "Really? I wonder if she as pretty as they say she is…!" another male elf said.
"Well it too bad…she only a half-elf…" a female elf said. "Well even so…lots of people are still in love with her!" another female elf said with a giggle.
He never knew the elves had princesses and princes. But he wondered who this princess naru was. Another half-elf? He thought. He thought there weren't many half-elves to begin with. But one with royal blood had to be even rarer.
He wonders if he would meet this princess. Then again…he didn't have time to think of things like this. He nodded to him self and got some apple and orange gums. Then had the store keeper put them into a bag. He thanks the store keeper then left the store.
He made his way to the end of the village where Sara was waiting for him self and klarth. "Got everything…?" she asked as he walked up to her. "Yes…I do…" he whispered looking her over. "Sara..? The elves in the store were talking about some princess returning…" she gives him a shock look.
"o-oh..?" she asked trying to sound surprise. "Yeah...I didn't know elf's had royal people…" he whispered. She didn't say anymore. She knew if she did it would give her away. "Well…yes we do the elder's children are called princesses and princes…" they both turned to find klarth and Rambard standing there.
"They are the closest thing to royal we have here…" Rambard said with a small smile. Klarth nodded. "But…did you hear something about one of them…?" Rambard asked. "Yes…I heard princess naru was returning..." rambard looked surprised.
"Really now…? Hmm…what a problem that would be…" klarth looked lost by what rambard said. "Problem…?" cless asked. "Yes. Her older brother doesn't like her…let alone she is a half-elf…" "But I do wonder…if she is as pretty as her human mother was…" Rambard said with a small smile.
"Umm...shouldn't we get moving…?" Sara asked changing the subject as quickly as she could. Rambard looked over to the girl. "Hmm….?" He whispered looking at her. He knew her from somewhere…but he didn't know where that somewhere was.
"This…is Sara…she traveling with us..." cless whispered watching Rambard. He slowly nodded to cless. "I see…and a fine healer she is…" klarth and cless wondered how he knew she was a healer. "You can tell…?" klarth asked. "Yes. Her energy tells me so…" he said still looking at her.
"…!" she step back a bit. Rambard just kept on smiling some. "Well then…should we get moving?" rambard asked heading into the forest and klarth followed close behind him. "You alright..?" cless asked her seeing her face was a bit white. "y-yes…I'm fine…" she whispered shaking the feeling off and head into the forest with cless close behind her.
"Well…we should head to origin stone…I'm sure he can tell us what has happened to the other summon spirits as well as why the rings broke…" Rambard whispered to the group. With that the group started toward the northeast where the stone sat.
"Have you felt anything Rambard…?" klarth asked. He slowly nodded. "Yes I have…but I have felt many things lately…" "One being the mana energy going up like crazy…" they didn't understand. How could mana go up so much? "Is that something to do with the spirits as well?" klarth asked.
"Yes I believe so…but I'm not too sure how it links together…" Rambard said crossing his arms. "Could…the mana go up with the power of these stones they had take control of them…?" cless asked the other didn't know how to answer. "I guess…that could be…but I wonder what the stones are made of…" klarth whispered.
"Well to take control of the spirits. It would have to be something stronger then metal…" Rambard whispered looking over to klarth. "Stronger then metal…?" klarth asked looking confused at him.
Cless and Sara were walking a bit behind the two talking. But she hasn't said a word for sometime. Cless stepped a bit closer to her. She was looking at the ground for some reason. "…Sara..?" cless asked feeling worried about her. She slowly looked up at him a bit confused. "Hmm…?" she asked.
"You are alright….right?" he asked have a look of worry in his eyes. "I'm…fine…" she whispered looking away as quickly as she could. He sighed a bit shaking his head. If she was fine then why was she acting this way? He wondered.
"We're here…" Rambard said. Cless looked forward to find the stone of origin in front of them. But they're a weird aura around it. "…this power…" rambard said stepping back a bit. "What is it? What's wrong Rambard…?" klarth asked. "This…energy…" he whispered grabbing a hold on his head. "RAMBARD!" klarth yelled checking to see if he was ok.
Origin appeared in front of them. "Kill…them…" he whispered as Rambard slowly nodded. "Yes…sir…" the three quickly step back. "Origin controlling…Rambard…!" klarth yelled pulling out his book. Cless quickly pulled out his sword and pushed Sara in back of him.
"But…how could a spirit take control of an elf…?" she asked looking confused about the whole thing. "Who knows…but it did happen…" cless whispered staying where he was.
"This is bad…I don't have a spirit that can stand up to…origin…" klarth said unsure of what to do. "But…we can't just leave…what if Rambard gets all the elves in the village controlled!" Sara yelled toward klarth. "Yes…you have a point but. I don't know what we can do for him!" klarth yelled as Rambard jumped on him.
"Klarth!" cless yelled. "Ugh…!" klarth yelled as he hit the ground with Rambard on top of him. Cless didn't know what to do. Does he go to help klarth and stay where he is? He shook his head a bit. "Cless go help klarth…" Sara whispered from behind him.
"But. What about…" she slowly nodded to her self. "I'll be alright…" cless nodded. He quickly starts to run toward klarth. If he did this quickly he could help klarth before anything happened to Sara.
She stood there looking at origin. She watched origin coming toward her. She stood ready unsure of what he had planned for her. "Princess…" the spirit said. She stared at him in shock. How could a spirit know? Did it know because of her energy?
It started flying quickly toward her. She let out a scream. Just then cless had freed klarth from Rambard. "This…isn't going to look good for him to be tied up…" klarth said looking over to rambard. "It can't be helped right now…" just then they both heard the scream.
"…!" cless jumped to his feet and started toward the scream. He shouldn't have left her alone like that. What was he thinking? Even if she did say she would be ok. He knew it wasn't true! He had to hurry.
He found origin on top of Sara. "Ugh...get off me!" she yelled trying to push the spirit off of her. "Princess…needs your energy…!" the spirit yelled. "Sara…!" she blinked hearing that voice.
"Cless…?" she asked looking to her right to find him standing there. Did he hear what the spirit called her? The spirit quickly got off of her. Cless held the eternal sword by his side. "Origin…your being controlled! Snap out of it!" cless yelled toward the spirit.
"No…" cless blinked. That wasn't even origin voice! "Your. Not origin…" cless whispered seeing the spirit. "Oh…so you found me out…?" the spirit asked. The spirit appears quickly changed. It changed into dhaos shadow. "…!" cless stared in shock.
"I'm sorry to say I don't have time for you right now…boy…" the shadow said. He quickly held his hand toward cless. He quickly held his sword up but it started to shake. "W...what is this…?" he yelled trying to keep a hold on the sword.
"Hmm…that sword made trouble for me before…but…" the sword quickly left cless hand. "But. It will not happen again…!" he yelled as the sword started toward the shadow. "The eternal sword…!" cless yelled running after it.
Sara quickly stood her head. She had to act now. She quickly said some words to her self. "HASTE!" she yelled pointing toward cless. Cless speed quickly picked up as he ran faster toward the sword. "Hmp…your becoming a problem princess…" the shadow yelled toward a hand toward her.
A huge wave of energy came toward her. She quickly closed her eyes as she was hit by it. "…Sara…!" cless screamed seeing this. He watched as she hit her back on a tree then fell into the ground passing out. Cless quickly grab the eternal sword back before the shadow turns back around.
"Hmm you think just because it in your hands…that it truly yours…?" the shadow asked sending an energy waved toward him. The wave hit the sword it started to shake again. "W...what going on…?" Cless yelled as the sword started to crash. "No…!" cless yelled as the sword broken in half turning back into the Flambelk and the Vorpal. The both fell into the ground. "This…can't be happening…!" he yelled falling into his knees.
"Now…that finished…I will finish you…off…" cless quickly looked up to see the shadow right over him. "This time…I will get you out of my hair for good…!" cless found him self frozen staring at the shadow of dhaos.
