The young Elven maiden stood up, however, she immediately fell down as soon as she stood. When she was about to hit the ground, one of the human dressed in white supported her, so she doesn't hit the ground. She looked back and saw that it was a different human, rather it was a woman, with a red cross at what seemed like her hat.

On the other side of the woman that was dressed in white with a black necktie on her chest and a red cross beside her hat. Was some kind of box fully painted with white and along with it the same red cross sign could be found.

Beside the woman was a man with a chair with wheels beside him. The woman lifted her up by supporting her in her arms. Then she helped the young Elven maiden to sit on the chair with wheels. Upon sitting on the chair with wheels, the Elven maiden felt comfortable on the chair. She thought it was going to be crudely made, because it has wheels on it. However, upon a closer look at it, it seems very sturdy.

She touched the chair and felt that they made it with an unknown fabric, probably a fabric exotic to their nation. She also touched the metals and was utterly speechless.

'S-Steel?!' was the thought in her mind.

The steel that she was seeing was reflective.

'How can that be possible? Is this some high grade steel we haven't discovered yet? The cost for producing such a thing must be enormous!' was the thought in her mind.

'Even though we have just recently moved out from the standard ship of the lines and we are just traversing the path of ironclads. Could it they be from that part of the world? Even if we are using iron clad, it wasn't purely built with metal, as the decks and we still make some parts wood, and we still have sails and a mast. Furthermore, the discovery of magi-engines was just recently.' She thought to herself.

'However, from what we know from "that" part of the world is a higher class of races only inhabited it. Humans are like the lowest class of beings for being manaless. So how could that be?' She thought to herself.

Then she suddenly remembered the colour of the crystal ball that the court magicians had said to her.

"Rebirth or Chaos, from the anomaly near their lands."

'Only a fool could miss the pattern there. This must mean that depending on these humans, whichever of the two would ensue, it is also an undeniable fact that the ship came from the area where the storm was. So it must mean that there are more things to be discovered there, that we haven't. Furthermore, I am the queen of the nation and by the power vested into me, I shall make it so that my nation would be born anew!' was what she thought.

"Father, I would complete your dream," she silently muttered

"Hm?" the woman in white questioned.

The young maiden turned her face away in embarrassment. She was embarrassed, as she was still attached to her father, despite being already an adult or a maiden.

The young maiden was reminiscing about the past, when she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her feet. She looked at her feet, there she saw the woman was applying some sort of medicine at her feet and legs. After a few moments of increasingly sharp pain, the woman finally stopped applying the weird medicine. After which after she finally felt comfort in her feet and legs. It seemed like the medicine or whatever kind of fluid the woman applied seemed to work.

She would never forget the kindness they showed her today. The kindness that these humans have shown towards her and her Elven people were admirable and were most definitely unparalleled compared to the people or races she knew of. The Humans still have shown their kindness even though her Elven people attacked them.

After applying the medicine on young Elven maiden, the woman then brought out a cloth that spans a few meters. She then wrapped it around the injured part of the legs and feet of the Elven maiden. After which she sealed it with some unknown small blade.

The young Elven maiden was staring intently at what the woman was doing. When the woman finally finished, she felt that her legs and feet were stabilised but was heavily restricted from moving with all the surrounding cloth. However, she glimpsed the other Elven sailors and saw that they were all receiving the same treatment she had, and found out that these humans doesn't discriminate, even those heavily injured were treated and given food and water.

That they attacked these people was a big mistake, when they are still able to show this much kindness. Furthermore, they saved the Elven people from the attack of the demons. That alone is a generous act of kindness and they were even willing to communicate with them was also an undeniable fact.

The young Elven maiden was almost moved to tears, when she suddenly felt a great magical aura surrounding below the ship. No, it's possibly the entire part of the ocean. She could feel it was gathering immense power, so she immediately told to the humans.

However, when she tried to speak, she found out that there were language barriers. So she tried to attract attention. Though she doesn't even know how to do it. She looked immensely troubled and so this didn't go unnoticed by the humans that were wearing complete white, so one of them inquired of her.

They knew they wouldn't understand her, so they resorted to gestures. This, moved by them, hit a spot on the young Elven maiden. So she gestured an enormous explosion at them and pointed it at the ocean and then below the ship.

This alerted the men dressed in white and so they brought a black box into their mouth and suddenly talked. What she heard was a static sound when the men spoke, however she was left speechless when she heard a voice from the black box.

'What kind of communication device is that?! I have never heard of such a thing?!' She thought to herself.

After the men dressed in white, stopped speaking at the black box, the metal ship then started to move, to which it became faster and faster. Sooner than later they were now slicing through the waves.

The young Elven maiden looked back at the place where they were at a while ago and saw that a big beam of light appeared. It became bigger and bigger to which the Elven sailors and humans could notice it.

After a few moments of the beam of light enlarging which it came from the sky. A deafening explosion rose through the area where they were at a while ago. The waves became violent as the surrounding area darkens.
