Klarth K Lester, parted ways with cless when they returned to the elf village. To tell the other elders what had happened at the stone of Origin.
Chapter 13: Learning the truth
Cless stared at the two in shock. Did he just hear her right? She called this elf father? The elf slowly looked up to see a blonde human boy standing there. "…" the elf didn't say a word to him. Cless just kept on staring at the elf. He didn't know what to say. Was it true? Was…Sara really a half-elf? It had to be true…she had pointed ears.
"I thank you…" cless looked confused toward the elf. "For protecting my daughter…" cless felt his mouth slowly open. "Then she really is…a…" the elf slowly nodded closing his eyes. "Yes…she the only half-elf to ever be borned with pointed ears…" as the elf said that. Sara fainted.
Cless quickly kneed down to her catching her. "Sara…!" he yelled as she fell into his arms. "She…very tried…" the elf whispered slowly standing up. "Come this way…" cless slowly nodded taking Sara into his arms. Then he slowly followed the elf into a house close by.
The elf slowly opened the door nodding to cless to enter. He did so and placed Sara on the bed inside. Then the elf enters closing the door behind him. "This is my house…do not worry she is safe here…" cless slowly nodded to him sitting down on a chair.
Cless just looked at him. He had so many questions. "I'm sorry…" the elf whispered shaking his head. "I haven't even told you my name…" the elf stood before cless. He had brown hair as well as brown eyes. He looked very wise for his age. He had to be pretty old by the way he looked. Even those all elves lived a very long life.
"My name is Marduk…I am one of the elder's in this village…" Cless slowly nodded to him. "Cless…Cless Alvein…" He said shaking Marduk's hand. Marduk nodded slowly letting go of his hand. "Again I thank you for protecting her…" Marduk whispered placing a hand on his daughter forehead.
"Again…think nothing of it…" "But…why is she a princess…when she just an elder's daughter…?" Cless asked watching the elf questionly. "Well to the elves…elders are like kings or queens…we are royal to elves as are children…" Cless slowly nodded to him. He could understand that.
"But…alsheak has every reason to hate…her..." "Did sins not only to alsheak and his mother…" "But also to Sara and her mother…Sins that the heavens will never forgive me for…" marduk slowly removed his hand that had been on his daughter's forehead. "Sin…?" Cless whispered looking to the elf.
"There a law…here in the village of elves…" "A law that says…any elf being male or female may only marry or fall in love with on person they're whole life time…" "And I broke that law when I met…Sara's mother…" marduk slowly shook his head. "Let me tell you a story…cless…" Marduk slowly turned to face him.
"Many years ago…alsheak's mother became very sick…and needed a special herb to recover…" "The only problem was…the herb didn't grow in are time…" cless looked confused toward him. "I left the village to search for this herb in a diffence time…" cless looked at him in shock. "…you traveled in time then met Sara's mother…?" Marduk slowly nodded to him. "Yes…but. That when the problem started…" Marduk whispered closing his eyes.
"When I found the herb…I was attacked by wild wolfs…" "I did kill them off…but. I was too badly hurt to do anymore. Then that…" he slowly opened his eyes. "I fainted after that…" "When I came too a beautifully a woman was staring down at me…" "I was stared…by the women…" Marduk slowly closed his eyes again.
FLASH BACK
"Oh…? Have you come too…?" the women asked looking down toward the elf. "…!" the elf quickly tried to get up. "No no…! You shouldn't move your pretty badly hurt still…even with my healing art magic…" the women said making the elf lay back down. "Why-why are you helping me…? I'm an elf…!" the elf yelled toward the women.
"So…? That doesn't matter…if someone hurt the normal thing would be to do is helping that person right…?" The women asked as a small smiled appeared on her face. The elf stared at her. He didn't know what to say. "…your kind…" he whispered. "No…I'm just a healer…it is my job to take care of all people as well as elves…" she whispered with a smile.
"…what's your name…human…?" the elf slowly asked. "Oh…I'm sorry I haven't told you my name…" the women said with a giggle. "My name is Marie Adnade…and your sir elf…?" she asked still keeping that warm smile on her face. "Marduk…my name is marduk…" he whispered staring toward the women.
She slowly nodded closing her eyes. "You still need to rest more…before you can move around…so please rest up…" Marie said before leaving the room.
End of flashback
"She was so kind…I never knew humans were like that…" "I was always told by my parents…humans were nothing but selfish…and they never look out for each other…but…" marduk looked toward cless. "Just meeting one female human I could tell they were wrong…" cless didn't know what to say.
"It took my body even with her healing magic…six months to heal…" "But…by then the real trouble started…I was slowly falling in love with her…" "And I forgot about my wife and son in the elf village waiting for me to return…" Marduk whispered closing his eyes again.
Flashback
"Ouch it hurts…!" a child voice cried. "That because you keep moving sweet heart…" a women voice answered the child. Marduk slowly sat up hearing the two voices. "…?" he slowly climbed out of bed to go see who that other voice was.
He looked out of the door way to see a child kneeing in front of Marie. "Well it will not hurt if you don't run and fall again…alright…?" Marie asked patting the child on the head. "Alright…thank you very much Ms. Marie…!" the child said quickly standing up.
Marie slowly looked up to see Marduk standing there. "Oh…! You're awake..!" she said with a smile. Then the child slowly turned to look at him. Then quickly ran over to him. "Oh! Are you the elf, Marie taking care of?" the child asked with a big smile. He slowly nodded to the child.
"Wow…! He the first elf I ever seen!" the child said bouncing around. "Now now be carefully! Mimi!" the child quickly stops bouncing hearing Marie voice. "I am being carefully!" Mimi said turning around to look at Marie. "Mimi…?" Marduk asked looking questionly.
"She a child that lives in this town of Euclid…that where we are…" Marduk slowly nodded taking it all in. Then Marie quickly looked to the clock. "Uh oh…I'm late…I'll be back in a bit…Marduk…!" Marie quickly left the house.
He looked confused by the whole thing. "Mister…?" he slowly looked down toward the child. "Yes…?" he asked. "Are you in love with ms.marie…?" he looked confused by the question. "Why do you ask?.." he said kneeing down to the child. "Well…the way you look at ms.marie is the same way my papa looks at my mama…" Marduk felt his mouth open.
End of flashback
Cless stared at him in shock. "…you forgot all about your…wife and son…?" he slowly nodded. "Yes…that why…alsheak should hate me…not Sara…" he slowly shook his head. "But…it was…hard…I didn't even know I fell in love with Marie before the child said something…" he looked toward cless again.
"But you have that same look in your eyes when you look toward my daughter…" cless quickly looked worried toward him. "You love my daughter don't you…?" Marduk asked stepping toward him. Cless stared toward Marduk unsure if he should answer him. Should he answer with the truth? Or not?
Cless slowly stood up then nodded. "Yes…sir I do-do love her…very much…" marduk slowly smiled to hear this. "I am glad…" "I am glad…that she truly can be loved…" cless looked confused at him. "Her brother would always say 'no one will ever love you because you don't have a world where you truly are a real person…' 'You aren't a real human nor a real elf…'" Marduk looked angry after telling cless this.
"I'm sure…hearing that…at the age she was…did change her a lot…" "She came here after her mother die…to tell me but…her brother found her first…" Cless slowly shook his head. "…she got out of the forest alive then…? Even those she a half-elf…?" Marduk slowly nodded to him.
"She can't be killed for a number of reasons…" "Because she is…an elder daughter…no normal elf may lay a finger on her and…" Marduk closed his eyes; as another flash back started up.
Flash back
"Marduk…?" he slowly turned to see Marie standing there. "Is something that matter…?" he asked packing his bag. She slowly nodded. "Do you really have to leave…?" the look in Marie's eyes became sad. "This isn't my time…I have too you know this…" he whispered stepping toward her.
"I know…but…" Marie whispered placing a hand over her stomach. Marduk stops in front of her. "She will be fine…with you taking care of her…I'm sure…sweet heart…" Marduk whispered placing a hand on top of Marie's. She slowly shook her head. "No need to be sorry…You gave me something no other person could…" She slowly smiled up toward Marduk.
"But…I'm sorry for doing this to you and are unborn daughter…" "I have done a sin not only to you two…but my family in the elf forest…" Marie quickly shook her head. "No…you did something…more…" "You made me feel happy…" Marduk slowly smiled as he slowly hugged her close to him.
"But…she needs a name…" marduk nodded to her. "…two names…because she a princess of the elves as well as a human like her mother…" "Naru…her name will be naru…" Marie slowly looked up at him. "And her human name will be Sara that means princess…" marduk nodded to her. "Yes…are little princess…"
Flashback ends
"She has two names…?" Cless asked. "Yes…but the other reason…why she may not be touched by any normal elf…is because…she a sage…" cless at him in shock. "What…?" cless asked. "A sage is a person with powerfully magic…healing magic of mana as well as elf attack magic…" "But…sages are only born one ever 5000 years…if even that…!" cless didn't know what to say.
"…so she is a sage…" cless whispered looking to Sara who was still resting on the bed. "And…she can fix the eternal sword…as well as the broken rings…" Cless quickly looked back to Marduk. "HOW? HOW can she have the power to do that?" Marduk slowly closed his eyes. "I'm said too much as it is…you much ask her about it you're self…" cless didn't understand.
Why was he telling him this? And why wouldn't he say anymore if he knew how she could repair the eternal sword as well as the broken rings?
"Cless…" he quickly came out of think staring toward Marduk. "Please protect her for me…and believe in her…" Cless didn't know what to say to this man…no elf. The only thing he could think of saying was this. "I promise to protect her…and I have believed in her when I first met her…" Marduk smiled toward the blonde hair human.
Marduk slowly stepped closer to him and whispered into his ear something. "Also…please love her…" Cless slowly nodded hearing the elf's voice. "I will I promise sir…" The elf slowly stood back a bit nodding to the human.
Just then another voice was heard. "Oh…" they both turned to look at the bed. They saw Sara slowly sitting up holding her head in her hands. "Sara…?" she slowly turned to look toward the voice. She saw cless looking toward her. Fear quickly filled her heart as she quickly looked away from him.
Cless slowly sighed. She really didn't want him to know who she really was. Did she? He needed to find a way for her to open her heart to him. But how…? He wondered.
"You have to leave now…" Marduk voice said. Sara quickly looked toward her father. "Father…?" She asked slowly climbing off of the bed. "You have to leave before alsheak gets out of the holding house…" Marduk quickly turned away searching for something in a closet.
"But…" she whispered watching her father. Then he threw a coat to her. "Put that over your self…then the guards will not stop you from leaving…" he didn't turn to look at her. "…" she didn't say a word as she put it over her self cover her face up.
"Father…" she whispered looking toward him still. "Come on…Sara…" cless slowly took hold of her hand. "Sara…believes in your self…" she looked surprised toward him; then she slowly nodded. Then the two left the house. Marduk then slowly shook his head. "Please…protect her…like I never could…" Marduk whispered as he closed his eyes.
