Hospitality of the Elves

I looked all around me as I savored the view. The elven village was an amazing sight of tall wooden structures that seemed to be in perfect harmony with the trees around them. It was almost as if the wood used on the homes retained its life despite being cut down and repurposed for an abode.

Te'Induil was a miraculous sight for someone who had only seen simple primitive huts for his entire life like me. I could see elves all around going about their daily lives each moving about gracefully among the trees and houses.

The natural beauty of this race was really prominent at the moment, there was not a single elf that wasn't considered beautiful by my standards. They each had fair features that easily surpassed that of any orc I had seen. Of course the orcs had their own charm but delicate features was not their forte unlike the elves.

The elven women were especially attractive, with their skinny yet tall frames and their undeniable charisma shining through their faces.

After a few moments of gawking however the mood in the village suddenly changed. Instead of me gawking at the elves, soon all the elves turned and stared at our group in an uncomfortable silence.

It was clear that no foreigners ahd set foot in this village for a very long time.

Tunidril led us forward down the main street of the village looking apologetic at all the stares and uncomfortable silence that had overtaken the area.

The feeling was so uncomfortable that Balraav unconsciously re-shouldered his ax on his back a few times.

This uncomfortable stalemate lasted the whole five minutes it took to pass through the village before the group arrived at a rather large hall that stood ina central area of the village, it lorded over the surroundings and the lake gently lapped at the deck of the hall that jutted out into the water.

"This is the hall of the elders where the Lakeborn elves leadership meets to make decisions." Tunidril announced before passing through the entryway.

He led us to the main chamber of the hall which was open and expansive but with many seats lined up behind a series of tables at the end. Many elves were already seated, seemingly waiting for us.

The term elder seemed to be a misnomer because if these were the oldest elves in the village then I would have no idea of knowing. These elves all seemed to be quite young just based off their looks, only their eyes belied the wisdom of the long lives they had lived.

"Welcome Elf friends, thank you for arriving with such haste" An elf woman at the head of the main table spoke up as we entered and all the elves rose to bow slightly to our group.

Us orcs all placed our fists over our hearts and bowed slightly in return.

With the pleasantries out of the way Tunidril stepped back as we were ushered to our own table.

"We are grateful for the welcome that you have offered to us. My name is Jurza Freeorc, my companions are Lukshu Friendmaker, Kashna Keeneye, Balraav Silverwolf, and my grandson Mar. We hope that we can reach satisfying agreement between our two people." Jurza introduced all of us.

The female elf eyed us for a second before responding. "I am Elawan, I am leading the council at this time and am authorized to speak for the Lakeborn."

She was a truly beautiful woman with long blonde hair and elegant features that drew attention to her face. I couldn't help but wonder how old she was to have gained such authority. To me she seemed no older than thirty but obviously that was way off.

"We heard that you have encountered trouble recently." Jurza stated

"Yes, I'm sure you are aware of the troubling occurrences that have developed over the past few years but we have managed to stay mostly apart from the difficulties.

However we have had a few altercations with traveling warbands of trolls in the area.

Then not even a week ago a powerful fiend, a shadowmaw panther, broke into one of our settlements deeper into the lake territory. It killed seven elves before we were able to muster a force to subjugate it and even then it managed to escape into the forest.

Simply put we have no way of knowing what sort of calamity is approaching us, and we also don't want to be caught on two sides between the fiends and foreigners without any help or support."

Elawan stated the circumstances that her people were currently facing with simple abruptness.

"We too have noticed that more powerful fiends have been seen abroad in the forest and the plains" Kashna said. "Rare ones like the Firebreath Hawk, and others which we haven't seen for generations have been spotted."

"So the elves also have no idea what is happening to bring all these omens to pass?" Jurza asked

Elawan shook her head. "Our scouts have never brought back any information but one group of Beastkin mentioned word of rumors spreading from the east of a powerful treasure that will appear soon in the infinite plains. However, they had only heard it as a rumor that few people are believing right now, who knows what will happen as time keeps passing though."

"Then it is only right that we should combine enter some sort of accord to ensure the protection of the status quo in our lands" Jurza stated.

"I agree, however we have time to discuss all of this later, it is enough that we are of one purpose for now.

You have traveled and must be weary. We will hold a feast in a few hours to welcome you to our home and in the meanwhile you should relax and have some wine while enjoying the natural view of our precious lake.

I understand your grandson is quite young and I think it would be beneficial if he met some of elves who are his level of maturity. This could be an important time to strengthen the bond between the younger generations of our people." Elawan offered

Jurza nodded her head in agreement and Elawan motioned behind us and we turned to see a young male elf walk into the room, like the rest he was attractive but I could sort of make out the fact that he looked similar to Elawan.

I think my skills of discerning between the elves is improving.

"This is my son Ossun, he is one of our youth and I asked him to come and show Mar around the village and introduce him to the other young ones." Elawan introduced the boy and he bowed toward us, eyeing us with interest.

"Greetings Elf Friends, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the village." He said hospitably.

I looked at him impressed, most young people would be far less composed, especially when confronted with a group of strange people like us orcs.

"Mar go ahead and go with Ossun, remember to represent our people well." Jurza commanded.

I stood up and bowed to the assembled elders. "Thank you for the hospitality" I said before turning and following Ossun out of the hall.

Once we managed to clear out from the hall and we were back outside Ossun turned to me with a friendly smile.

"I have to admit I have never seen an orc before, only the adults elves travel to the border to trade. I have heard stories but you really are green and crazy muscular!" he exclaimed.

We were around the same height but my frame was almost twice as wide, my wide shoulders made me look like a monster compared to his skinnier frame. All in all we were two very different looking males. I gave off a savage masculine energy but Ossun had a calm refined air around him.

"Haha I too had never seen elves before! I got quite the introduction on my way into the village with all those elves playing around on the shore." I grinned as I replied.

"Oh? I didn't realize they had all gone out today, my grandma kept me inside the hall for the day awaiting your arrival. So you got the full introduction to the elves?

Well? What did you think of our women?" Ossun chuckled and eyed me deviously.

I guess men will be men, whether they be orc, human, elf, or whatever.

"I see you are someone I can get along with haha" I calp him on the back, but not too hard afraid of knocking him over. "You have some seriously sexy women, and those bathing clothes! they showcase all their assets so magnificently" I admit

"They don't have bikinis in your tribe?" Ossun asked

"Afraid not, I'll have to take you there sometime everyone wears furs, we give off a barbarian vibe you may find enticing.

"Hmm, sounds fun. Anyway since you're so enthusiastic then lets go ahead and head to the shore so you can go ahead and meet them and get another eyeful. Who knows... you may catch the eye of some pretty elf lass." Ossun led me back through the village and I couldn't help but look at the women as we passed by.

They also couldn't help but look back, some in curiosity and others with lust in their eyes. I seemed to give off an exotic powerful vibe that drew their gazes. This level of attention was beginning to inflate my ego a bit and I was once again reminded that I hadn't had sex yet since I was born in this world.

I had confirmed however that the equipment worked just fine, and that I was quite large too. So what was really stopping me? I should've banged an orc chick awhile ago but they also grew up with me and I was mentally too old for them so it would've been weird.

Anyway I was wasting my youth.

I walked confidently through the streets and in no time at all I arrived back on the outskirts of the village where the shore of the lake was exposed and I was once again met with that pleasing sight of pretty elf girls playing in the water.

"Hey Guys! Come over and meet Mar! He's a young orc who came with that group that passed by!" Ossun yelled out at the playing elves as we approached and we quickly became the center of attention again.

"Whoa cool! We saw them coming in!" One guy exclaimed and some of the other elf boys quickly approached us.

The girls however were slightly more reserved they got out of the water and looked at my ominous frame slightly nervously. Their gazes were a mix of interest and trepidation.

We arrived at the shore and all the elves gathered round. I felt like a rare exhibit that captured the fascination of everyone around.

"Everyone this is Mar, he is our new friend and it looks like we will be improving our relationship with our orc neighbors, so treat him as a friend" Ossun gave me a quick introduction and many of the elves started to introduce themselves as well.

I paid attention as they said their names but also kept an ear out for the side conversations.

"Wow he's so big.... look at all those muscles." One girl said to her friend.

"I don't know why but I can't help but find him attractive, I always thought orcs had ugly faces but he is handsome, his skin is such a clear green," another gossiped.

Well apparently I am popular even here amongst this group of beautiful people.

"How could you guys come out here without me huh?" Ossun scowled at the group in mock severity. It seemed that much like his mother, Ossun was the defacto leader of these young elves.

"hehe sorry man but you know, we can't waste the good weather. It's not long before the weather is gonna start turning cold again." One guy said with chagrin.

"Whatever, all is forgiven but please tell me I haven't missed all the fun?" Ossun waved his hand a few times disarmingly.

"Not at all we were just about to have a full on chicken fight!"

"Yea join in Ossun!"

Ossun stripped off his shirt and was already wearing a swimming suit as if he was prepared for this very occasion.

"You should join in too Mar!" Ossun said

In my head when I heard chicken fight my mind went to a certain water game but I had to confirm.

"What's a chicken fight?" I asked

"It's simple, one person climbs on the shoulders of the other who is in the water and these teams fight to knock the others off. The last group standing wins." Ossun explained and just like I thought it was the same.

I was beginning to realize that many same things were universal between my old life and this one.

"Who wants to be Mar's partner?" Ossun turned to the group of girls.

It was silent for a long moment while the girls struggled with the question. Many looked like they wanted too but I was also a brand new entity to them and very unknown so none had the courage to speak up at the moment.

Suddenly a voice in the back of the group rang out.

"I'll be his partner" a clear melodious voice in the back broke the silence.

Everyone turned and I finally saw who announced her candidacy, I hadn't gotten a good look at her before but now I was met with the sight of beautiful fresh maiden. Her hair was a lustrous silver than shone beautiful around her gorgeous face. Her features were sharp and fair as she looked at me with her deep silver eyes. Her body was framed by a simple yet sultry red bikini, her modest breasts and tight body were quite the sight to behold.

All in all she gave off an incredible first impression but she also seemed more melancholic than the other elves around her, almost like she had seen more than the others. Maybe this was why she was unafraid to team up with me while the others were hesitant.

Everyone seemed surprised that this girl had spoken up however.

Ossun recovered first, "Why thank you Velari!" he said before continuing "Alright lets break up and get in the water to get this thing started.

Everyone who wanted to participate broke off into pairs and began entering the water.

"My name is Mar, thank you for teaming with me" I said in introduction.

"I am Velari, it's no problem at all. I have always been curious about our neighbors and today I get to satisfy that curiosity." Velari replied.

I did not have a swimming suit but I was only wearing a fur wrapping on my chest and a fur skirt so I simply stripped my top and layed it on the ground.

Everyone took a moment to gaze awestruck at my body which was finally exposed. I was ripped to say the least. My huge pecs and defined abs stood in stark contrast to the skinnier elf.

Even the emotionless Velari took a moment to stare at my masculine body before we entered the water.

Everyone waded into the water until it came partway up our chests and then I turned to Velari. I was really looking forward to feeling her soft legs around my head.

"Are you ready?" I asked

She nodded and I dipped down into the water so she could climb on top of me easily.

Soon I felt a heavenly sensation as her plump butt and smooth legs nestled firmly on my shoulders and I finally stood up back out of the water.

I finished the preparations by grasping onto her legs which were draped down my torso. Velari gasped softly at the feeling of my rough hands on her smooth thighs.

Her legs felt amazing but I also had to focus at this moment.

Why?

Because We are gonna win this game.

"Alright everyone! last man standing wins!

Ready.

Set.

GO!!!"
