3 Chapter 2 "Eleine"

Year 200 after the disappearance of the elemental spirits.

At the borders of the elven kingdom, a young woman covered by an aquamarine cape walked with a map in her hand, her gaze was somewhat sad as she searched for something in the landscape in front of her. "How I wish you were still here Aurora, this place It is nothing like how we left it ", the towns she found on the way were quite poor, the children in the streets were the only ones who played and laughed , she stared at them, remembering past times opening a wound in her heart. which had not healed.

She entered a somewhat neglected tavern, in the place different races drank alcohol and played with each other, no one gave her a second glance as she sat down to order a drink, "do you have a drink similar to yesterday's sighs?" I ask, "of course, but in this place we do not serve those who do not dare to show their face" said the man without looking at her, she raised her hood and revealed her long golden hair, her green eyes with light blue stripes gave her an exuberant beauty , under his cloak he was white armor tight to her body, in the middle of his chest there was a small emblem that represented the human realm. L ost drunks began to look with I wish, one of the most daring got up from his table and sat next to him, this man was a half-elf, convinced of his appearance he tried to woo the lady by offering to pay for her drink.

He and ine did not take the man next to him seriously and paid for his drink, the man feeling mocked tried to touch her shoulder, but a flash of light came out from under the lady's cloak, revealing a rapier that stopped in his throat, "Stop t e Billy" said the bartender, then turned to the lady asking if I needed anything , "I'm looking for a temple of the spirit of the wind Aurora , no one in this town , " the bartender put an ugly smile and with a bit of fear he told him "if there is a temple, but for years it was abandoned and now it is the lair of a mercenary group, they call themselves the red eagles "

After finishing her drink , Eleine left some coins on the table and left the tavern , following the direction indicated by the bartender, she arrived at a slightly destroyed building, even so the entrance was well maintained, indicating the presence of people , she was for knocking on the door when Billy appeared behind her , "What a coincidence to meet again miss, maybe we are destined to be together" she said laughing, not paying attention, she knocked on the door but no one answered, "Guys, come out for a while We have a guest, "Billy yelled .

Moments later a group of 10 mercenaries left the temple , 6 men and 4 women , they had an insignia of a red eagle on their clothes, most of them were semi-elves, among them there was a muscular dwarf with a large mace in his hands and a thief who had covered his face, but on his clothes had the seal of the human kingdom.

"Miss, I still don't know your name, what do you think if we start with that", she didn't look at him and replied "it's not necessary, I'm just looking for something inside that temple and then I 'll leave ", the mercenaries laughed from her, she wanted to take away something that by right belonged to them and she did not want to tell them her name, if they let her do what she wanted, they would not be able to look at their companions' faces again.

"Mmm, I could accept your request, but it would be very boring, we better play a game, if you win you can search the temple and take what you are looking for, but if you lose you will have to join our group and follow all my orders ", all mercenaries Those present laughed at how cheeky their leader was, but they agreed with what he said, anyway, in the end they would have a beauty by their side.

After asking what the game was about, Billy told him that he should fight three of them , whoever won two out of three fights was the winner , Eleine just sighed keeping her gaze and accepted. The uproar generated by them caught the attention of people and gradually began to gather to watch the fight , Eleine hope calm in the center of the place with his arms crossed, his opponent came when the sun was in the most high heaven .

The first fight was against the dwarf named Andor, the entrance taking a great leap in the air hitting his mace on the ground, a small tremor was generated showing the strength in his arms, Billy stood in the center of the square and returned to enunciate the rules of the game, also added that if she could win the three fights she could ask them to assist her with some mission, the crowd began to speculate because the mercenaries were very generous in their reward, but they thought it was because they did not believe that they would lose.

When the battle started, Eleine took off her cape revealing her figure, most of the men could not look away, they thought about what they should do to be with a woman like that , the women only looked envious of her while they annoyed their partners stop looking like fools. The dwarf Andor was no different, he turned to look at Billy and said "Boss, if I win the fight this woman will be mine , whoever refuses will see her with my mallet", Billy just laughed and indicated that they would talk later, no one noticed that Eleine upon hearing those words a trace of fury passed through her blue-green eyes.

The dwarf, convinced of his strength, attacked the lady, the strength in his arms was such that his veins were completely swollen , when the impact came a silver rapier appeared in Eleine's hands , when the weapons collided Andor was sent backwards while she did not move a step, "it seems that she has enough strength, I think I have to go with everything" thought the dwarf, little by little Ando sent magic to his mace increasing the strength and hardness of his weapon, small dark rays sprouted On its surface, this time it was Eleine who attacked, her rapier was directed to the chest of her adversary, but was stopped by a dark barrier that appeared in front of him , the dwarf trusting his mallet in front of her, from the ground several columns of rocks They rose to the sky surrounding her, she just jumped on one of them and waited for the dwarf to make his attack to counterattack.

Andor looking from the ground, activated an extra defense ability and then lunged against Elaine again, but this time he avoided giving her a direct hit, instead his mace hit the center of the plaza causing the pillars to transform into several stone stalactites, after his order thousands of them were thrown against Eleine causing a great explosion, sure of his victory Andor began to grab his beard while laughing , he did not realize that behind him Eleine was aiming at his neck with his rapier , "You have lost Andor" heard the dwarf, after turning he saw the girl with an impassive face , refusing to accept defeat, he wanted to say a few words, but his armor began to break until he was only in underwear, feeling a great shame. dwarf took his things and withdrew to wear clothes.

All the townspeople began to cheer at the victory of the girl, they only wanted to see exciting fights, they did not care who the winner was, Billy thought a bit, he looked at the thief wanting to send him, but a girl asked to go to the front , his name was Lizeth , was a guardian class half-elf, she had a large blue armor a little revealing on her legs, but they were protected by a large shield in her arms, she used a sword with a green hilt , in her guard she had a blue gem that every once in a while he released a flash of energy.

Before starting the fight, Lizeth asked Eleine to fight with all her strength, but she did not answer her with words, she only nodded. In this fight, Eleine made the first attack, her rapier aimed at one of Lizeth's bare legs, but a large shield blocked her advance , taking advantage of that moment , Lizeth charged with her shield while with her other arm she balanced her sword against the side of Eleine , but the impact your sword only felt a slight bounce in his gun, defending his opponent's armor was very high, learning from his mistake began thinking about finding a place more weak.

Every time their weapons collided, several sparks fell on the ground, both defenses of the girls were very high, that's why Lizeth tried to get out of this stagnation, every time she had time she began to accumulate in the gem on her sword, small drawings appeared on its surface indicating that he would soon be charged, when she felt prepared , L izeth created an ape r ture for Eleine attack, she was very close to being hit by the estuque when I release the power of your sword, a power layer appeared on Lizeth's body, although she received a blow from the rapier most of the damage was absorbed by the energy layer as it was blocked by the shield .

The true function of this barrier was to paralyze for a few moments the people who attacked it, taking advantage of the fact that Eleine could not move, Lizeth attacked with all her strength towards the woman having the victory in her eyes , it hurts she did not know that those tricks did not work In it, seeing Lizeth's unprotected attack, Eleine only blocked the incoming sword with her rapier, she changed her posture a little to make an attack on Lizeth's exposed chest, just before hitting her weapon against the body she felt a breath of life instantly avoided attacking his belly and leave exposed his back, Lizeth recovered and take the opportunity to attack but he saw Eleine not moving , Billy take this moment and cry Pidie NDO them to stop the fight, Lizeth had won.

Not being very sure of her victory, Lizeth approached Eleine in search of answers, just one sentence filled her with different emotions "You are pregnant", after that Eleine did not speak anymore and waited for her last fight. With thousands of emotions in her head Lizeth understood why she had avoided hitting her, if she had really received damage she might have lost the child in her womb, this surprise left her pleasantly grateful for Lizeth and she approached one of the mercenaries about her condition, Billy He could only shake his head, he knew that two of his members would leave their group, leaving those thoughts for later he approached Eleine in the center of the square, he would be his last opponent .

Eleine was a little angry with herself, she was not reluctant to kill her enemies, but innocent creatures were a great taboo for her, she would never take the life of one of them, because she did not realize that she lost a little control of her strength, when the third fight began, Billy raised a large two-handed sword, concentrating his energy created a protective barrier over his body, in just a few seconds he looked like a large mobile blood sphere, when he swung his sword against Eleine , he felt a force that shook his body , with just one thrust Billy was sent flying against a wall thus losing his battle.

Several hours had passed when he regained consciousness, he began to ask his companions what had happened, but he found out that after Eleine took something from the bottom of the temple, he left the town. While both on a mountain , a woman heard a recording with sadness, when I finish I saw the gem lost all his energy and turned into dust, "Aurora, I really miss you" thought following his path.
