Wyvern Arrival

Life in the camp continued after the appearance of the light elf in armor, the girls who saw him at first froze and began to shake, watching how the unfortunate girls behaved upon his appearance. Ru'El tried not to come close to the part of the camp where the girls were.

He could hardly imagine what they went through while being here, making sure that animals or monsters did not get close to the camp, the light elf walked towards the tent where the girl for whom he left his service was sitting and an unexpected meeting with the disappeared princess of his people.

As a light elf, he liked being in the forest, unlike cities where it was dirty and everything was built up with buildings, he had no feeling of pressure from nature.

Catching himself thinking that he was ready to stay here and shaking his head, rejecting this possibility, he was not alone.

Approaching the tent loud enough for Keirin to hear him, he had no desire to eavesdrop on women's conversations that the two girls could be discussing.

Ru'El tried to move around the camp without armor, leaving it in his tent, he was dressed in a simple short-sleeved shirt and trousers that his movement was not hampered; the guard's sword hung on his belt.

Looking at the hilt of the blade, a bitter smile appeared on his face; he did not regret leaving the city to save Auel, but he was ashamed to think that he had set up her father with his departure. The light elf hoped that Captain Alur would not have much trouble because of his departure.

- You can enter Ru'El. - A melodic voice was heard from the tent.

The light elf, throwing away thoughts about Father Auel, opening the entrance to the tent and walking into it, his eyes met a light elf who had once been the princess of the kingdom of light elves, sitting on the bed, and next to her sat the girl for whom Ru'El had given up everything in the city.

Looking at him with his yellow eyes in which he saw the joy of being here and the remnants of guilt that he felt disappeared.

- We discussed that it was time for them to go to the city, Trey himself said that they would have to return there in a month if he did not return. - Auel said cautiously, looking at the light elf.

They discussed many times that it was time for Keirin and the rest of the girls to prepare to go to the city; many of the girls came to their senses except those lying in tents and were more dead than alive.

But as soon as the conversation came up that it was time for them to go, the light elf refused, explaining that she had to wait for Trey here and every day the light elf cast a glance in the direction where the half-elf had gone.

- There are still a few days before the end of the month that Trey talked about, only after that I agree to return to the city no earlier! - Keirin said irritably, not addressing anyone.

Without realizing it, the light elf began to cause strong vibrations due to which the girl and Ru'El began to feel weakness in their bodies.

Auel, being next to Keirin, touched her hand, attracting her attention, seeing that because of her emotions she caused fluctuations, the light elf immediately canceled them.

- Sorry, I need to be alone for a while. - Keirin addressed Ru'El and the girl in a heavy voice.

Without waiting for an answer from them, the light elf stood up and headed towards the exit where Ru'El stood, stepping aside to allow her to pass and noticed how Keirin's face changed to a gloomy one when she thought that no one was watching.

Left alone, the light elf looked at the exit and, making sure that Keirin had gone further, slowly walked up to the bed on which Auel was sitting.

- You know, when she was a princess, she rarely showed her emotions. - Ru'El said thoughtfully, looking at the girl who was sitting next to him.

He remembered well how Keirin looked at court after the death of her sister; sometimes the light elf heard how they called her the ice princess because she did everything that the queen and king demanded of her.

- It's still hard for me to believe that the former princess of the light elves serves a non-noble half-elf. - Auel said with a sigh, pressing her body against Ru'El.

Her scent began to captivate Ru'El, hugging the girl to him, he felt her body itself pressed against him and her breath next to his neck.

Running his fingers down her back and feeling her arch her back slightly and then removing his hands from her back she rested her head lightly on his lap.

Her cheeks were redder and the light elf heard her breathing becoming more and more irregular. Gradually, the girl began to open up to him, looking into her eyes and enjoying every day with her.

- I didn't want to say it in front of Keirin. - The light elf said in a quiet voice, enjoying the touch of Aueli's hands on his body. - How painful it was for her to admit, but I think the half-elf died in the forest or something happened to him.

The girl lying on her knees rose from the words of the light elf and looked into his eyes with a serious look.

Ru'El rarely saw such behavior from her even in Migen; during the time spent in the camp, he was sure that she had not had time to become attached to the half-elf who saved them.

- You are more experienced than me when it comes to fighting or how to kill someone. - The girl said in a serious voice without taking her eyes off the light elf. - But you weren't here when he killed the robbers, I felt in him something unusual for your race, a force that would absorb everything.

An unpleasant pain pierced Ru'El when he heard that he was not here when Trey fought here with Keirin, the latter about the unusual power, it was not clear to him what the girl meant in this definition.

- Unusual for our races, do you mean light elves and dark elves? - Ru'El asked, wanting to confirm his suspicions and reassure the girl. - Can you describe the difference you felt in him please?

The girl looked thoughtfully at the light elf and nodded, trying to remember what feelings the dark elves she saw in Midgen evoked in her. She ran her hand thoughtfully over Ru'El's chest, who was waiting for Auel to start speaking.

- If you and Keirin give a feeling of calm, and the dark elves give a feeling of danger from which you cannot hide. - Auel said thoughtfully, running her fingers along the light elf's neck. - Then Trey gives the feeling of a desire to serve and obey him as a ruler.

Surprised by how the girl Ru'El described two different races, he remembered the stories that some mortals were able to feel minor fluctuations coming not from magic but from the representatives of the races themselves, the light elf forgot what this opportunity was called. He hadn't heard this from the girl before, was it because of what she had to endure here?

- Have you felt similar desires before or only from him? - Wanting to make sure of his judgments, Ru'El asked Auel.

He could see how the girl frowned, removing her hand from his chest and putting her hand to her chin and lowering her head down, her curly hair covered her face from the gaze of the light elf.

- I didn't tell you, when he freed us, Trey ordered us to do something. - Auel said in a quiet voice, from her tone Ru'El felt that it was painful for her to remember.

He wanted to ask right away what he ordered them to do, Ru'El doubted that Keirin would allow him to do something evil with the girls, but she was his servant and even if she were against it, she did not have the opportunity to resist the orders of her master.

- When we reached the middle of the camp, there was a figure lying on the ground that the girls and I knew well. - The girl continued to speak, not paying attention to the changes in the light elf's behavior. - He was the son of our baron, to whom you and my father swore allegiance.

The baron's son was here? The light elf felt lost in a situation incomprehensible to him. During all the time he did not see anyone except the girls who lived in the same tent and those unfortunate people who did not come, then where did they keep the baron's son and why did Keirin not mention this?

- The girls and I froze at that moment and then Trey's voice was heard in which the power to order us was felt. - The girl said, freezing, Ru'El already regretted his question, hugging her to him, feeling how she was trembling all over. - He ordered each of us to strike with a dagger the lying son of the baron, and one by one each of us did what he ordered, and then the lying body of the baron's son disappeared.

The light elf was shocked but also angry at what he heard from the girl who wrapped her arms around him, he felt moisture on his neck from the tears that flowed from the girl's eyes. Did the half-elf order the murder of the son of the baron of these lands?

It is possible that he did not know who he ordered the girls to pierce with a dagger, but remembering how arrogant the nobles were, Ru'El doubted that the bastard did not say who he was.

- And I didn't feel the desire to obey the baron's son; he didn't have that in him, do you understand? - The girl said through tears, pressing her head against the light elf's shoulder.

Reflecting on the girl's words, the light elf was lost in who the half-elf was, whose servant was a former princess of the light elves.

Was he the illegitimate son of one of the dark elves, but after considering this possibility, Ru'El shook his head; the dark elves rarely chose people as partners, and if such children exist, they are in their empire.

Absorbed in his thoughts, he began to hear strange sounds, throwing away his thoughts about the half-elf and listening to the sound of him, he heard the flapping of wings.

Having freed himself from Auel's surprised behavior, which was not typical of Ru'El, wanting to ask him what happened, the light elf left the tent and immediately returned.

A frown was visible on Ru'El's face and a wandering expression around the tent, turning his gaze to the girl who was trying to understand the strange behavior of the light elf.

- Help me put on my armor, a wyvern is flying towards us, and as soon as you help me, go after Keirin. - Ru'El turned to her, approaching the armor and putting on the their.

The armor of the guards was different from what could be found in the shops of the city; if the armor from the shops was created for convenience for money, then the armor in which the guards served was deprived of the convenience of being able to quickly put it on.

Pressing Having put on the upper part of the armor, the light elf held it with his hand, feeling the coldness emanating from the metal, quick steps were heard from behind and the armor began to press more and more tightly to Ru'El's body. On the back between the armor there were knots that had to be tightened every time it was put on.

Removing his hands from his chest and feeling comfort in his legs, he picked up the helmet that was lying nearby and put it on his head, he looked at the girl.

Raising his hand and running his fingers without gloves, he felt its warmth; he wanted this moment to last as long as possible, the sounds of wings were getting closer.

Putting on gloves and walking towards the exit, he wanted to look back and see Auel again, but danger was close.
