16 The tour in the elven kingdom

Chapter 15

As we enter the cave she use some light magic to illuminate the small cave I set up. There she saw a small crater where I told I iwas drop along with my things. I told her I was camping when I was teleported here so many things was teleported with me. I aslo pointer a small hole in the wall where I found the mana stones.

After inspecting the whole cave she believed my story. And we went ouside again.

Moriah: I dont see anything special about that cave exept that it has many mananites stones.

"Mananites? What is that?"

Moriah: Mananites are stones that prevents mana from leaking out. It can be crafted to a box for mana stones and herbs storage. So maybe thats is the reason why I did not felt the mana stones previously when I was nere that cave. Anyway pack your things and we will go back to my city. Its a 3 day journey. So let's hurry up the travel to the capital is near.

So I packed my things and followed her running to the forest for 3 days stopping to rest sometimes and encountering some beast along the way.

The morning on the third day we finally saw an earth road and finally we stop running. She told me that it is only a few more hours of travel by foot so we can take it easy on the journey. As we walk we encounter some travelers also many of which are elves they offer us a ride along with their cart to the city. They have recognize thier princess, she is popular among the elves, apparently they were her constituents. Lucky for me a free ride. But they have sharp gazes on me, but the princess said I am with her and I am a guest so they did not talk about it anymore nor bother with me. But they are gazing thier eyes to my stuff that I brought with me especially my guns.

After an hour we arrives at the city's boundery and the sight beholded me in shock. It was very beautiful. A 20 feet walls of stones with trees that was used as a watch tower. A castle the stands out in the center witha very big tree behind it, a big gate that is used as a main entrance with guards in shinning knight armor patrolling the gates and inspecting the incoming and out going traffic. A bridge that is connecting the ground to the gates because the whole city is surrounded by water maybee for defensive purpose. Very old style but very beautiful and clean too.

As we reach the bridge the cart stop to fall in line to enter the city. Moriah hop down and signal me to come with her.

I followed her and start walking straight to the gate not bothering to fall in line with the others.

As I walked I saw many elves. Moriah was right her beauty is normal here. I found some elves that has more attractive features. But in my eyes Moriah is still my goddess. Love at first sight as they say. The men are also handsome and with a well built bodies. The guards especially radiates a honourable aura around them showing the are well disciplined troops.

As we approach the guards they bow slightly to salute thier princess and make way to let her trough. But when I am about to enter two spears bolcked my way.

Guard: halt you can not enter withour proper authorization.

Moriah: its fine, he's with me. He is guest of our race. At ease soldeir.

As she said that there was still some hesitation in their movements but they comply with her orders and let me pass with their stabbing gaze on me not removing thier sight until im out of view.

Inside the city are houses that were build with stones and vines. No 3 floored building can be seen almost all have 2 storeys. Shops, inns, restaurant, and residential buildings are all over in and organized subdivision like format. The over all view is very pleasing to the eyes because the houses are not cramped up with one another some have even have gardens in their frontyards. Only two buildings beside the castle can be seen as we walk. Moriah explained it to me. The first is the barracks and training ground while the other is the storage where they put grains and food supplies also some medicine.

After walking for 30 minutes. Me looking everywhere not stopping for anything but keeping inmind where somethings peak my interest. Taking notes on my notebook. Eleves have different looks from thier height, hair, skin color and bodies. One thing particular is one their is no ugly elf. Even the one I saw with a large scar in his face looks handsome. And two there is no fat or even a chubby elf. They are all well toned individual.

Off course my eyes scout for beautiful female elves. There are so many that my eyes stop to look for more.

As we reached the castle I was stunned againd the walls surrounding it was made with with marbles. The gate was made from gold and also the knight's armor is also made from gold. I noticed many rune engravings in thier armor also in the gate it was full of them. Maybe that is their secret to strengthen gold because that was a soft metal.

Middle guard: "Welcome back princess. I prefume a successful hunt yes?" Says the guard standing in the middle of the gates.

Moriah: yes I would've been much earlier if not from some disturbing noise that was made in the Forrest while I was hunting. This human is with me he is a guest in our territory so let him come with me.

Middle guard: alright then but let me escort you inside the castle. The king and queen are at the garden talking to shiva the potions master about some matters.

Moriah: ok lead us.

As we tour aroun indise the castle I look at the architecture of the palace.it was very clean and beautiful made from white stones with vines here and there. They are very goo at incorporating plants in their buildings. It was so relaxing to the eyes. And the air is veri refreshing. Birds were chirping all around the castle. As we enter the garden a sight to behold, once again, lay in front of me.

The garden was not as I imagine it to be it was a herb garden with many medicinal plants that I presume because of the strong scent that entered my nose just by standing on the entrance. It was more like a greenhouse.

The guard stop at the entrance and shouted " Announcing the arrival of princess Moriah and her human guest companion"

Then he stand in the corner of the entance. Guarding the door entrance. The people inside turn their gaze to us as moriah runs to hug her mother then her father and giving a small bow to an elf who is an old elf.

Moriah: Giving respect to elder Shiva.

The old elf gives. A nod and turn her gave back to me. The king and queen also gazes at me. Then I kneel down on one knee and said " paying my greetings and respect to the king and queen and to the elder of this wonderful and beautiful kingdom."

King: well at least he has manners. Who is he Moriah my dearest.

Moriah: father I encounter him in the Forrest of Laya while I was hunting the sacred deer. He is a human from a different world and was teleported there by accident by a portal made when the planets aligned at the time of my hunt. I have checked him with the truth stone and prove that he has no malice to us or the kingdom so I brought him here.

King: oh so that's how it is. I am Athenor king os this region. Then is my wife Aleeya. And this is one of our elder. Potion master Shiva.

"It's this ones pleasure to meet you personally my king and to lay sight of you my gorgeous queen. Paying respect to potion master Shiva."

Aleeya: oh a sweet talker human I see.

Athenor: human where are you from and what are your plans in our kingdom?

"I am from a planet called earth from a galaxy we called milkyway. As of now I don't really have a plan your majesty for I do not know what I am going to do truthfully speaking."

Aleeya: why don't we discuss this more over lunch it is almost time so we can give this young man a proper welcoming.

Shiva: I must leave now. I have finished my businesses here. It is just a pity I only lack one ingredient. The crystal rose here is a little too young and canot be used. Ill leave your majesty to interrogate.... I mean to talk with this other world traveller alone.
