The gentle Elven maiden, upon boarding the boat, saw the other Elven survivors. Both sides looked at each other. However, none of them talked to each other. It was already quite obvious that their thoughts were filled with anxiety and uncertainties. After all, they were just captured by the same race, whom they considered as slaves and inferior for millenniums. They were utterly dominated, that their spirits and morale were completely broken.

The humans that were clothed with completely white clothes moved around the small ship. The gentle maiden observed them. She saw the humans were pressing numerous buttons on what seemed like a panel on the small ship. She wondered where the entire machinery was hidden. After all, as she observed, this boat is too small for a large machinery to fit. However, these humans that they encountered are already out of this world. Their equipments, language, mannerisms, they are all out of this world.

Then suddenly a human landed their eyes on her. She was in a state of shock that she couldn't respond to what was happening before her. Upon seeing the situation, the other Elven people moved farther away from their queen.

A blatant display of treason.

After a few moments of thinking, the young maiden snapped out of her cloudy mind. She panicked and looked around and saw that her regal clothes were all but tattered, where some parts of her body could be seen.

The only thing she could do was stare at the human that was coming near her. She had lost all her power to resist.

Upon seeing the fear of the Elven maiden, the human was disheartened. However, he continued to move forward. The Elven maiden completely forgot that she could use magic, however, if she used it, the humans might actually kill the rest of the Elven sailors.

Upon arriving in front of the Elven maiden, the human brought out a piece of white cloth. The young maiden was about to tear up due to fear, however, before she could. The human dressed in all white wrapped the cloth around her. After which, he immediately moved out of the area and back into the group of humans where the control panel was.

While he was on his way back, the man was scratching his head while the other humans were all laughing at him.

The young maiden, who was about to fall into tears, stopped. She tightly gripped the white cloth as she reminisce about past. This is the first time she had experienced such kindness since the death of her father.

After seeing the events that transpired, the other Elven people moved back near their queen. However, the queen looked at them with eyes filled with death and anger. However, they really couldn't do anything in that situation. What can they really expect to be able to do when those humans single-handedly decimated their fleets of ironclads?

However, the young maiden couldn't just easily accept it, as she was the queen of their nation. She also has her pride and dignity, you know.

The small ship suddenly moved, which startled the Elven sailors and the young maiden. They were all flabbergasted on how the ship could move without magic incantations or magi-crystals. They swear on their gods and goddesses that they all saw the humans in the same spot. So how did the humans could start the ship? They don't even see any sail on the ship.

When they looked at the back of the ship, they saw the waves were being split apart by the boat. They were utterly stupefied. After all, only ironclads with enough speed could make that occur. However, this small boat could do it in just less than a moment.

Soon after, they felt even more uncomfortable as they could now feel the wind blowing on them, it only means one thing, and that is the boat has now reached a certain speed, where they now could feel the icy breeze of the afternoon day.

After a few moments of the boat dashing through the waves. They now have arrived beside the metal ship. The Elven sailors were utterly terrified by how preposterously large the ship was. It didn't have much engraving on it. However, it has that touch of elegance and one could say that they manufactured it with great care. So they wondered how long it took for the humans to build this.

A rope ladder was then dropped on the side, to which the Elven sailors didn't know what to do. When the other Elven sailors from the top of the deck looked down below, the Elven sailors on the small ship was cured of most of their uneasiness.

Then finally an elven sailor attempted to climb the rope ladder. The Elven sailor placed his boots on the rope ladder and reached for the next rope. However, the rope sunk, which startled the Elven sailor. The Elven sailor almost fell, however, someone stabilised him from the back. He looked back to see who it was. To his surprise, he saw it was one of the humans.

The Elven sailor was embarrassed, so he continued to climb the rope ladder. After which, the other Elven sailors followed suit.

Finally, the young maiden was next, however she couldn't walk, her feet was apparently injured. Upon noticing this, a human shouted something at the top, to which, after a box with a rope at the top, landed down on the small ship.

The human gestured for her to sit down, to which she did. When she was firmly seated in the box with a seat. The humans on the top pulled her up, to which the other humans from below on the boat they moved somewhere behind the ship.. The Elven people wanted to look where it would go, however, they fear what might happen to them if they angered their captors.
