Orland stood up from the ground with his hand on his bruised cheek as he frowned at Giron, "Chief? How long did you plan to keep me locked up?" He asked.
Standing at his feet, Orland moved closer to him, "It's been almost two weeks, what the hell was I still doing in there?" He raged with his attention fixed on Giron.
Giron still had a calm look on despite the way Orland was yelling, "How did you get free?" He asked.
"That's all you're going to say?! Some beast people broke in, if you wanna know, they are somewhere in this village and you idiots don't even know about it." Orland gave out a crazy grin as he uttered.
"If you're talking about the tiger dude, I already took care of him." Sato chimed in with a smile.
Turning his head he stared at Sato for a while, "This bastard again!" Giron muttered to himself.
"Giron?" Sato called out.
"Yes, Lord Sato." Giron responded.
"I know it's partially my fault for not bringing it up before, but why did you lock Orland up?" He asked, "If I remember correctly, wasn't he the one who was willing to help you elves calm down Divanchi?".
"Yes he was, but he was also trying to end you and the village…" Giron revealed.
Sato was the only one shocked by this, the elves all looked away as if they were embarrassed by the fact Giron told him.
"See, we dark elves are naturally born to destruction and deceit, it was always in our nature, although after making peace with the pure elves we became harder to tell apart, but our instinct was still there, the need to be predetors.
All we needed was a little bit of negative thought and our instinct came back, it takes time to subdue them back, Orland went through the same thing, and was envious of your power, my apologies, I'll make sure he doesn't bother you again." Giron explained before bowing his head.
Sato had his hand on the jaw throughout the whole explanation, "I see…" He uttered, "Okay then".
Walking slowly toward Orland, he began pulling his shirt before tossing it to the ground, "Yo, Orland my dude, you wanted to fight me before...still wanna go?" He asked.
"Lord Sato," Giron called out in disbelief, the rest of the elves had the same look on their faces.
Divanchi and Yuri were still in their spot and didn't utter a single word even when Sato offered to fight Orland.
"Lord Sato, I understand you might be angry, but I beg of you to reconsider this." Diana begged from where she stood.
"I am also opposed to this." Elena added her thoughts on the matter.
Sato ignored them and still kept his eyes on Orland, "I'm willing to fight you right here if you just say the word." He expressed.
Orland had a puzzled look on his face for a while, but once he felt he had an opportunity he grinned with excitement.
"Sure why not." Orland responded.
All the elves stood at the side, while Orland and Sato were positioned in the middle, Orland with a grin voiced out.
"I hope you're ready!"
With fire covering his wrist, he charged toward Sato and threw a punch only for Sato to block it with his palm.
The fire was still burning on Orland's hand but as soon as Sato iced his wrist, the fire went out immediately.
Orland tried to pull his hand away from Sato's grip but he wasn't able to, without a second thought, Sato landed a punch that sent him flying and crashing into one of the mud houses.
Walking slowly toward Orland, Sato voiced out, "This can't be all you've got, is it Orland?!" He yelled.
"Shut up!"
Orland whooshed out of the rubble and punched Sato in the face with his fire hand.
Sato fell to the ground while Orland stood on top of him, and began landing a series of punches to his face.
Swirling his legs around, Sato hooked his leg on Orland's neck and brought him to the ground.
Orland's body bounced on the floor upon impact only for him to receive a heavy punch that pushed him back to the ground again.
His black pupils were nowhere to be seen after the punch, he felt like the whole world spinning with him in it.
They kept on punching each other, over and over again for almost thirty minutes straight while the elves watched.
Both had bruises all over their faces as they stood a few feet away from each other panting with their swollen faces.
"Why… why... won't you go down." Orland chose his words as he struggled to balance himself.
"What? Is this… the best you can do? I can do this all day." Sato replied with a forced smile.
Silence took over for a while until they both charged toward one another screaming with every step.
Once they were close enough, they landed a powerful punch to their faces that brought them to their backs on the ground.
Sato gave out a weak chuckle, "Who knew you were strong." He uttered.
".... I can tell you were holding back." Orland cut in.
"Yeah… but you gotta admit, you feel much better right? You'd definitely feel more worthless if I just let you punch me till you're satisfied, but I guess you can call this a fair fight,".
Sato started hearing sniffing sounds and immediately turned his eyes to look at Orland, "A-Are you crying!?" He asked.
Orland tried to hide the tears but he couldn't, "I'm not crying! the sun's just in my eyes!" He replied with his arm covering his eyws.
Sato looked away, "Ehhh?" He muttered with a dead pan look.
"You managed to change the village so much, something I couldn't do throughout the year you did in two weeks…"Orland expressed.
"It's not like I did it alone, I had the others helping me, where I come from, I guess you can say I'm what you'd call an average guy, never good at anything, background character at it's fullest.
But ever since I arrived, knowing there are people relying on me, it's a great feeling, and right now I want to change the elves for the better, with everything I could... I can't do that without you guys...you included." Sato voiced out.
After listening, Orland cleaned his tears, "How big is the change? I'm looking at Grandpa and he's way to different" He asked.
Sato smiled, "Hehe~, For example, what if I told you, I can guarantee you your own harem." He said.
"For real?!" Orland yelled in excitement.
"Definitely, you'd be a rizz master, top G!" Sato laughed.
"What's a Rizz?"
"Hmmm... simple term, a babe magnet."
"Even Giron can snag a babe" Sato laughed again .
Orland laughed alongside him, "I-if is not too m-uch to ask then… can I … be included in this?" He asked.
"Of course, first things first… do you want me to lead?" Sato asked.
"I no longer have an objection."
"Great, welcome to Avalon, it's not official yet but it will be, soon... probably" Sato uttered as he looked to the sky.
"Thank you, my cheeks still hurt by the way." Orland uttered
They both laughed at the sight of their swollen faces.
