CHAPTER 15: The Dark Elf
Eugene's Point Of View
I was here meditating in a mini falls as I was tasked by Zero. He said that tuning my presence and awareness would make me be a good swordsman. So he thought that this is a good training. By being washed by the water I can feel it, with it sound that distracts me from further concentration. "How can I even possibly make a breakthrough?". I think as I doubted myself. Then, I hear a slow dropping water in the water surface. Focusing in that one single point I completely ignored everything else. I was then, patted by someone, so I.look and it was Zero. "Get change for now". He said to me. " But I just been starting to focus in one point". I said but he brushed my hair. "That's good to hear, it takes a week for a normal person to finally be focused in this training". He said as an indirect complement. I then, get dressed and joined them and to my surprise they accompany a guest. I sat down in front of her beside the two. "So it would be rude to ask for your name by not introducing ourselves first". Merleona says that makes sense. "I am Merleona, A Goddess-". Merleona says but was stopped by the Elf Girl. " Ehhh!!!, Merleona The Goddess Of Magic!!!". She reacted after hearing it well thst's understandable. "Yes, I am?". Merleona says so proudly. " I am Kitsune Kurama, the Foxnewt daughter of the Nine Tailed Fox". Kitsune followed as she proudly announced it. Well being a legendary beast's child would be really is a very noble position. The Elf girl then looked at me with her unchanged anticipated look. "Don't be that so self-concious, I am Eugene Kagetsuki a magicless". I humbly introduced to her but then she was also surprised. "You're so humble but to think that you're a lineage from a hero". She reacted upon hearing me. "To thonk that I was in front of great peoples, I am ashamed I am Valerie Elvirus a Dark Elf". She introduced herself and looked at Zero with her blushy face. "Eh! Aren't you so boyish for an Elven Princess". Kitsune teased her. "No I am not". She claimed for herself. "Well, that guy there is Zero a Fallen". Merleona said to introduce him since he is busy. "Isn't that the term for those who came from another world". She said so amused by the knowledge she gained. "Yes it is but Zero is a very special case". Merleona stated that intrigued her. "What do you mean?". Valerie asked so curiously agitated in knowing. "Well, to be frankly true about him, he possesses 3 different unique abilities, and the thing is all of them are the rarest of the rare unique abilities". Kitsune saus with a smug face. "Well back to the topic, Why did you kill that Asspull of a noble?". Kitsune asked her directly that made Valerie grip her fist. "That bastard, he is the one why my brother needs to be frozen for almost a decade now, he attack my brother so cowardly and nearly died". She grunted in anger. "Can you tell us?". Merleona asked but I was clueless. "Oh wait, you're not there so making her talk without you knowing anything well tell you". Merleona realize and talked about me. "To summarize the matter, while we were patrolling around town we confronted that bastard who tortured Kitsune and demanded Zero to hand us over to him does he was shown a bit of Zero's power then he surrendered. But because Zero didn't really care about him he aimed to attack him but then a spiky numbers of branches piercing that bastard of the noble then we encountered her and...". Merleona told me in a very enticing way and stopped to get near me. "Zero did the first move for the first time that's so unfair". She said a very serious way but for my situation. I blushed in thinking on what has happened. "So can you tell us what really happened to your brother". Kitsune says to Valerie giving the gloomy presence and told us.
Valerie's Point Of View
I heaved a deep breathe as I remember the very moment that day.
Flashback...
It was 8 years ago when I was 10 years old. My elder brother Raze Elvius went on hunting for his successor of the family to prove his validity. "Can I come with you?". I asked him smiling so cheerfully. "I can't Rierie it's dangerous in there so stay her". He said with smile but I felt so uncomfortable about this. So I secretly followed him. But then, A noble came across him and demanded for my brother to be his attendant but more likely a slave. My brother refused so he challenged him intp a duel. My brother won the duel but then he was cowardly attacked upon turning his back. Laughing so nonchalantly they took his equopments. I eant to charge in there and fight but I can't. I haven't even awakened my magic that time. I can not do anything but to cry so silently. After they left my brother I rush into his aid crying. "B-Brother please hear me?". I said as I cried to him. "R-Rie why a-are here?". He said as he gradually breathe heavily. "Listen Rie, be good to our parents okay, I wish you would find someone you'll cherish". He said making his last words. "Don't brother, don't die for please I beg you we'll get there".I said as I drag him . "Don't waste your strength, I lose too much blood already- remember that I'll always love you". He said that made me confused that triggered my magical power to burst and made a unmelting Ice.
Flashback Ended...
"After that I made sure to exact my revenge and find an excellent healing mage to cure my frozen brother". I said to them that them so teary-eyed. "Isn't it too much to take for you in that age". Eugene said with very emotional upbringing. "If I can just find a person who can use the Legendary Healing Spell the Recovery Magic that is said to cure anyone even someone that has their limbs chop off in battles will regenerate but I felt so down for it is a very rare magic so meeting someone so rare is impossible even for a millions of years". I said to them but they were so shocked. "Did you say Recovery Magic? I think I heard thst one but where?". Merleona said that made me look at her. "Yes I said it is". I replied that then something she said surprised me. "Oh I remember now, Zero did use that magic to heal Kitsune when we found her in the forest". She calmly uttered but it made me shout. "H-HE DID!!!".
