day has passed since our groups managed to obtain the carriage and for now their path to Feoh would be quick, even so, Sora, Chloe and Olga could not help but be alert at all times, either because of the Mercenaries that might be around this part or the wild monsters that could roam in this forest and more when looking for their prey that they had to hunt
Olga and Chloe were currently talking about a plan to be able to enter Feoh and talk to Princess Alice and prevent her from cutting off their heads when she sees them, they had to find a valid argument to be able to create this desperate alliance, and although Chloe He said that this was a bad idea, Olga does or does need this alliance because now they knew that Vault had many resources such as its treasures and most powerful magical objects and at the same time that it perhaps had ancient forbidden and dark knowledge in its possession.
While these two continued talking, Sora remained silent for a long time guiding the horse through the place, what he had seen the last few days in this world were horrible things, first a total massacre of the Dark Elves in that town that he found by first time, then Chloe's attempted rape, and now those poor women who had their minds broken and could no longer think for themselves and even though she didn't like it, Olga was right, if they left those women alone, sooner or later they would be taken by the men. black dogs as their slaves and if they were left to their own devices they would starve or be killed by any beast that passed through the forest, taking them with them was not viable either, so Chloe said that they would only be a burden, nothing more than that they could make noise. and they needed to be stealthy as long as possible, the option that Olga gave was the only one that could give peace to those women and end the suffering they had, faced with those thoughts she could only clench her fists out of the helplessness of not being able to save them, but that could do, her powers were weakened, she could cast spells but these were of lower power, even Esuna could not remove the cursed spell that Olga had that prevented her from using all her source of magic for the fight, although she still had considerable strength and speed, it was not enough
"I must find a way to finish off Vault and quickly" Sora thought seriously, if I didn't finish off the Leader of those Black Dogs quickly, this fight would drag on and there would be many deaths as affected in all these lands and I couldn't imagine what would happen if Vault won. war, this world would be doomed to an age of darkness
But his thoughts would be interrupted when he heard Olga's voice.
"We arrived at the Border" he said he is looking beyond the half-dead forest
At those words Sora looked forward and saw that when they left the forest, they would reach a green meadow and that there were also some flowers blooming, before that the Horse continued to advance and arrived at the place where there was life, greatly surprising Sora, the place. that had arrived seemed dead, as if the darkness had left its trace, but here it was different, life felt, but also like a beautiful but weak light at the same time.
"The borders of the Northern and Southern Kingdom" Olga commented looking at the place.
"This feels different" Sora could say, still surprised by the place. "You feel a light... But this is weak" He thought.
"And now where are we headed Olga Sama?" Chloe asked looking at her Queen.
Faced with that question from his Protected Olga, he tried to remember something "According to what I remember, the information that we were able to collect during the last years about the alliance of the seven shields as their lands, to reach the Castle of Feoh that is guarded by that Princess known as Alice , is cross about 3 towns that are important for the trade of these lands, plus there is a small fortress that guarded the border and is located in the first town, it would take us two hours at most to get to that place.
"So, we'll have to avoid those Three Towns like that little fortress?" Sora asks.
"Obviously, if one of them saw us they would try to arrest us or it is almost certain that they would want to kill us" Olga answered knowing that the humans of these lands want her dead for various reasons.
"Then we'll have to take another path," Chloe commented.
"If we took another path, how long would it take us to get to Feoh Castle?" Sora asked.
"Well, if we crossed the towns like the road and that small fortress it would take about six days at most and if we didn't stop it would be reduced to four whole days, but since we have to take the long way to avoid being detected, like not having any problems during "The progress would take two or three weeks to arrive" Olga answered.
"Weeks!" Sora and Chloe shouted, surprised by this information that Olga gave.
" That's right," Olga commented, a little angry at Sora and Chloe's scream.
"Olga Sama we don't have any supplies except for horse food that can barely last two days, and if it takes us seven days, if we don't eat and drink some water, we will be weak when we get to the capital city of the Kingdom of Feoh," he commented. Chloe knew very well that if an army did not eat well, such as drinking water, it would be very detrimental to the troops at the time of combat, and during the time they were in the forest they could only eat little, such as drinking clean water, and the effects of hunger and thirst were occurring in her like Olga and apparently also in Sora
"Lose...For that reason we need to get to the nearest town and have Sora go there and buy some supplies for at least a week" Olga commented looking at the Keyblade Holder "The mercenaries you defeated before dropped some coins that I picked it up before we followed that horse." That shows about Ten coins. Seven were copper, two were silver and the last one was Gold. "I think it's enough to buy supplies to last the entire trip or so I hope."
"It's a good idea Olga, but I don't like leaving her alone... For many reasons" Sora comments, already knowing that Olga and Chloe entered enemy territory and if they saw them, they would obviously arrest and execute them.
"Don't worry, before we get to the town, we will stay far away and use the fabrics that Chloe collected to cover us" Olga said, already having at least a plan so that she and Chloe would not be seen by the locals.
At those words Sora just nodded and with that the three headed to the first town to at least buy supplies for the trip they would have, even so on the way Chloe and Olga could only look at the Landscape, the Home of the dark elves was just a dead land, almost nothing grew and they had to supply their resources by making their people eat little by little and things got worse when winter came...But here in the southern kingdoms, everything had life where food was abundant and everything
"Olga, I have a question for you," Sora commented while leading the horse.
"I thought I answered your questions when we were in my fortress" Olga comments looking at Sora.
"I have a few more" Sora said "But if you don't want to answer I will respect your decision."
Olga just sighed " what's your question if you want to know?" I ask this
"Well... Because your home is dead as well as having a very dark essence?" Sora asked.
Faced with that question, Olga just sighed. "Let's say it's something that my people had to pay when many of my ancestors worked with the dark lords." Olga answered Sora's question.
"Dark lords?" He asked, a little surprised.
"A long time ago in our world, all the lands and continents were beautiful places where the Gods walked together with their first creations, which would be the Elves, and thanks to being the first creations, they gave us great longevity as a magical power...But of all light is always born a darkness, those beings that were born from there began to walk through these lands trying to bring chaos, but the Gods and the First Elves fought against this threat and after a war that lasted a decade, they managed to make these dark forces retreat to never be seen...with the enemy defeated the Gods and the first elves celebrated their victory" Olga commented as she looked at Sora and Chloe who were listening attentively to the story "But they were not completely defeated, the dark beings who survived realized that Using brute force to destroy their enemies was not very useful, so they infiltrated the ranks of the First Elves, harvesting the seeds of lies, manipulation, among others, and the last one would be betrayal, the Gods like the Elves. Loyalists never realized that there were traitors among them. "By the time they realized the threat it was already too late"
"I guess... Thanks to those traitors, there was a civil war, it's not like that" Sora said.
"You guessed it...The Traitor Elves, when practicing dark magic, their skins began to turn such a very dark tone that they no longer had appearances, they looked like creatures of the shadows with those Red eyes that only conveyed one thing. . .Death. . .After that the great Civil War occurred and the Dark Beings who survived the first war little by little gained so much power that they could even rival the Gods, they called themselves the Dark Lords or even some Demons themselves. one called himself the Demon King, who led the First Elves like abominations into the war and it was very bloody that lasted more than a Thousand Years... in that time there were great losses, many Gods died like life little by little in the The world was lost, dark magic was almost everywhere, the forests that were once green became deserts and others became frozen places that no one would survive, even so during the last centuries of the war a group of dark elves began to flee. Realizing that the dark lords like some demons were beginning to take away their Free Will and if they were successful, they would only be slaves of those beings, they would be dead in life, at that time one of the greatest Sorceresses of the Dark Elves realized this. and she took many of her people as magicians to the side of the Loyal Elves and Gods"
"Wait, you're saying that that sorceress like her people joined the loyal elves and betrayed their former Lords" Sora said a little surprised by this information "And they accepted them?" Asked
"You who believe the elves are Gods still alive wanted to Kill them thinking it was a trap from the enemy, but four Gods did not see lies in their words and thanks to them The Sorceress and her people were able to join the loyal side" Olga said and I look at that to Sora "The Four Gods who that day saved that sorceress as her people were the Elemental Gods and they were so grateful that they made them their main Gods of their religion and you Sora have one of their weapons"
At those words Sora invoked the Typhoon Bow and looked at it in amazement at learning about this weapon that apparently belonged to a Noble God who managed to forgive those who were truly sorry or at least give them a second chance.
"Thanks to the remaining Loyalists and Gods, they were able to heal those Elves who recovered their former appearances, even as a reminder of their old pact with the Dark Lords, those Elves had Dark Skin as a tan remembering their sin...Thanks to that union and the Sorceress, knowing a lot about the Enemy, the Loyalists managed to win the war, destroying the creatures and the dark lords like the Demon King Himself... But the war was so horrible that our continent was the birthplace where the Gods first descended and were now in chaos and half of it were infected with the same magic of those Dark beings and only a few gods remained who were already on their last legs... The sorceress along with her people went to the dead lands to try to cure them as penitence for their ancient sin but without first taking the Four Weapons of the Elemental Gods that saved their lives and keeping these as sacred relics" Olga commented.
Sora was surprised by the story that Olga was telling. Now I understand a little more about that place. "Now I understand why that place has a dark and horrible energy." He said, remembering the northern lands. "But if those lands are still this dead, that means that..."Looking at Olga and she gave a sigh
"The Sorceress, like her greatest magicians, could not heal them and it was impossible for them to return to their original glory...The war was so catastrophic that many species that could be considered divine or spiritual became extinct, yet new ones were also born, Humans, Men Beasts, Dwarves, among others, but the abominations also survived that with the passage of time changed to become Orcs, Ogres, Trolls, Goblins, imps, succubi demons among other horrors "
"And what happened to the Gods who survived?" Sora asked, a little curious, wanting to know about the latter.
"They survived, but they no longer had the strength like before and to save their asses they began to reincarnate into different mortals" Olga said explaining what happened to the last Gods "Celestine is one of those Reborn Goddesses"
When Sora heard that, he was surprised, but he also noticed that Olga's voice changed a very angry tone with that woman, so she tried to change the subject "And what were the names of those Four Gods and what were the other weapons?" Asked
Before Olga could say the names, they are interrupted by Chloe.
"Olga Sama, I see the town," Chloe said, looking at the town and more at the small fortress that was in the middle of the place, plus the town had some good forests to hide Olga and Chloe for a while.
"So that's the town" Sora said a little surprised by the town that was in front of him "It's pretty I must admit"
"Sora go for now and try to buy the supplies we need, me and Chloe will hide in one of the forests so that any travelers don't see us and when you finish shopping, we will see you here" Olga said
At those words Sora nodded and left Olga and Chloe with the horse to go straight to the town.
"I hope they don't scam him" Chloe said watching Sora walk towards the town.
Location: Southern Kingdoms - Lands of Feoh
Place: ?
Sora right now was at the entrance of a town. It took him about twenty minutes to get there and not run so as not to raise people's suspicions and he looked at the town which was medium in size, you could hear the people talking, some were speaking while others just laughed, for Sora this was a living place that he had seen since he arrived in this World and before he could continue moving forward, he was stopped by a Guard who had normal armor
"Reason for your visit?" The Guard said looking at Sora with a serious look.
"Eh, I'm just here to buy supplies, nothing more." Sora answered the guard's question.
The Guard looked at Sora for a few moments and didn't notice anything about the boy who was in front of him besides the fact that he didn't have any weapon. "Ok, you can come in." He commented, letting Sora have free passage to the town.
At this Sora just sighed and thanked the guard as he entered the town to buy the supplies, and as he walked through the town, he couldn't help but see how people lived their normal lives, some children played, some adults fixed things among other jobs, even so Sora watched. to a lonely boy who played an instrument and when he saw the instrument well, he could notice that it was an instrument of Air that had ten holes as well as a place to blow and for the air to become melodies
Seeing that made a strange memory come to his mind and he sees a young man with pointy ears with green clothes and yellow hair playing a beautiful melody, after a few seconds Sora returns to the present and he is surprised by said memory
"Where did that memory come from?" Sora asked, surprised by the memory. During his travels he never met a boy like that, of course his clothes were a bit similar to what Peter Pan wore, but there were many differences in them, for example, that boy's hair was blonde, and Peter's hair was blonde. another color and the instrument that Peter used was nothing like what that boy from that strange memory used, but he decided for now to ignore those thoughts, first he had to get supplies and he continued on his way but as he walked, he hummed the song from the memory he had
(Note: You know the reference and if you are wondering Sora is humming the Epona song).
After walking for a while and asking for some directions Sora had arrived at the central market, the first thing was to get at least enough water for Him, Olga and Chloe and the horse that if or if he needed to give it a name, then buy something to eat, in That's when she arrived at one of the stores that sold her supplies, but on the way she saw a Granny who was trying to ask for help to move the car, but no one helped her and everyone ignored her, walking past her.
Sora, like every Hero, decided to help the sweet old lady "You need help, ma'am." I comment on this with a smile.
"Oh, thank your young man for responding to my help, I need you to help me take these supplies to my store, please be a few blocks over here," the Lady commented.
"Of course, guide me," Sora said with his typical smile.
Granny quickly guided Sora to her store and when he arrived at his destination, he was able to look at the structure, which was a little old and far from the central market.
"Thank you very much, young man," commented the grateful Granny.
"There's no point, Madam, I like to help," Sora said with a smile.
"I know it's a lot to ask, but can you help me take those supplies to the warehouse please?" Grandma said.
"Eh, of course, why not?" Sora commented, staying to help the old woman.
He watched as Granny opened her doors and he set off to take the supplies to the warehouse that the lady explained, and during his work he noticed that the store was very worn but still clean, after a few minutes of carrying everything. the supplies to the warehouse Sora decided to rest for a while
"Thank you, very much young man, if I had done this alone it would have taken me a whole day" Grandma commented when she saw that Sora finished everything in just five minutes.
"No problem, Madam, as I said, I like to help," Sora commented and then looked at the store. "Ma'am, tell me if you sell supplies."
"Of course, I sell supplies, young man," Granny commented with a smile. "What do you need?" Ask
"Well, some food and water for a trip," Sora answered.
"Well, I have what you need in these boxes" La Abuelita Mostro Three boxes, one was very small, another was medium and the other was very large "The first is one that can last you a few days, four at most, while the medium one can last one or two weeks or but the big one lasts a whole month" I explain this
At that explanation Sora looked at the small backpack, it was perfect for El How Olga and Chloe to use for the trip "How much for the small supply box?"
"It would be 50 silver coins" The Lady said looking at Sora
At that Sora quickly takes out the Gold Coin "He thinks this will be enough" Showing a gold coin
"Oh, that would be enough, even so I think it's better to buy the medium backpack, it costs one more gold coin and ten silver coins, even so, since you helped me, I can accept that gold coin and give you about two more canteens of water for free." Granny commented with a smile
"Really" Sora said happily for this and watched as Granny indicated that he could take the medium box and he quickly took it and carried it, surprising Granny.
"Fence, you are a very strong person," commented La Abuelita with a little surprise at the strength of the boy in front of them.
"That's what I've been told sometimes" Sora commented with a smile and then he gave the gold coin with two silver coins to the grandmother.
"Wait, young man, I told you that you could pay with just the gold coin." Comment is a little surprised that that young man gave her the agreed price.
"Although I appreciate the offer, Madam, it is better to pay in full, and I help people without asking for anything in return, that's what a hero does." Sora said that he had spent almost all his coins, only having ten silvers left.
Granny remained silent because of those words, but after that she only smiled "You are a good boy with a big heart, take care of yourself young man on your trip" I comment, looking at Sora.
"I'll do it, ma'am," Sora answered and left the store without saying goodbye.
Right now, Sora was carrying the medium box through the town, yet he did not notice that he was seen by many people, surprised that this young man could carry that as if it were something light and nothing more and some girls in the town who were Sora's age could not Avoid looking at this one and thinking it was kind of cute, while some men Sora's age just looked at this and got jealous.
Location: Southern Kingdoms - Lands of Feoh - Town
Location: Fortress
Right now, in the fortress that was in the town, the captain in charge of taking care of this fortress was currently reading a message that was sent by Princess Alice that arrived in her hands one hour, but she could not read it because she was busy with the patrols nearby. from the border as well as from the town, even so when reading the letter, it says that the Black Dogs have broken their contract and will not hand over Olga Discordia until they are paid Triple of their agreed pay.
"Damn those damn mercenaries" The Captain said, a little angry at what she read, although the black dogs achieved the goal of taking the queen, they would not hand her over that easily so that she could face justice for all her atrocities committed in the southern lands. The alliance now focuses on one of its knights. "For now, warn the troops to remain on alert and wait for some of those Mercenary troops to arrive, they will surely try to negotiate to obtain the Dark Queen."
"Immediately, Captain," said one of the soldiers as he went to warn the rest of his comrades.
"With the capture of the Dark Queen this war can end even if that bastard Vault does not hand her over until he is paid triple, the Dark Elves like the Monsters will try to do everything possible to get her back or worse try to attack the borders to "obtain one of the princesses and exchange hostages." The captain thought about possible scenarios if Queen Olga Discordia was not handed over immediately.
While the Captain was lost in her thoughts, she did not notice that some guards only looked at her with a disturbing smile, for many the captain was someone Sexy with that long black hair, her blue eyes, in addition to those big breasts and even more so with the armor that she showed. a lot of her skin, when she left the fortress many men, some elderly, others adults and young teenagers drooled over her when they saw such beauty.
"Don't worry, guys, in about fifteen minutes everything will start and when everything is over, we will have our prize." One of the soldiers commented. This soldier had different armor as well as a very striking helmet. He looked at his companions and they only laughed because their prize was very close. "For now, gather the soldiers who are not part of our group in the courtyard, there will be a special reception."
"Yes, lieutenant." A calm soldier commented and went to gather those men who would have an unpleasant surprise.
The lieutenant could only smile, soon this town would fall and would be his to govern and the captain who longed for his body would soon be his as well as that of his soldiers to please them for life.
END OF CHAPTER
And what did you think of the chapter, in addition to the story of the four elemental Gods that the Dark Elves worship as their protective deities
