Worried Keirin

Keirin sat in the room waiting for Trey to return from school, she thought for a long time about her dream that she had two months ago and whether she should tell Trey about it when he returns or not.

As he asked, she went to the library and looked for information in the books about the capital of the departed Avile race, but with his admission there was scant information about what happened to their lands after the exodus.

In one book there was information that the capital was surrounded by a spell and only the chosen by the gods could pass through it, while in another it was written that the capital was plundered by the remaining races and in retaliation for the fact that the Avili left the capital was destroyed by a higher spell. After the library, Keirin went to look at weapons for Trey, but there was nothing worthwhile in more than one store, she tried through her acquaintances to find out information about the merchants about the capital of Abel and about the sword, but very carefully. Knowing the greed of the merchants and how they think, it remained for her to collect bit by bit what was well known or what the merchants themselves saw.

According to the merchants, only monsters inhabit the land of Avile, because they lived closer to the mountains, no one saw the capital, but everyone said that they saw how the sky above the place where the capital of Avile was supposed to be was constantly distorted, which meant that there was a barrier.

Immersed in her thoughts, Keirin did not notice how time passed and it began to get dark. Touching her blouse and looking at the time, dangerous thoughts began to disturb her.

She didn't know Trey personally, but if you look at how the days passed before he became the chosen one of Ges and after that they became more fickle, it seemed to Keirin that he began to attract different situations, maybe it was influenced by the energy of chaos that was in Trey's body she didn't know.

Hearing first one knock and then another, Keirin straightened her blouse and skirt and went to open the door. She doubted that it was Trey, he had the keys, which means it was someone else.

Her heart began to beat faster as she approached the door, she felt her hands begin to tremble involuntarily, trying to calm down. Keirin opened the door a crack to see who was knocking. Looking out the door, she saw her sister and Cassandra standing there, she didn't expect to see them so soon after the duel.

- Will you let us in? - Cassandra asked, resting her hands on her waist, she understood that Samantha and Keirin would still have a conversation, but not now.

Keirin turned his head towards Cassandra, nodding as he stepped away from the door and opened it fully to let them in.

When they took off their shoes and went to the center of the room, there was silence, Keirin and Samantha looked into each other's eyes and Cassandra examined the room more closely, she looked for Trey, but he was nowhere to be seen.

- Where is Trey? - Cassandra asked, looking around the room, she did not hear anyone but them.

Keirin shifted her gaze to Cassandra and looked at her in surprise, she thought that he was still at the academy.

- He's not here, he left for school in the morning and hasn't returned yet. Keirin said thoughtfully looking at the girls.

Samantha and Cassandra looked at each other, they remembered the last time they saw him when he went to a lesson in martial magic but after that they did not see him they had training for the upcoming tournament of the academies and they were released after the stufons which had lessons went home.

- We saw him during the day when he went to martial magic, not after that. - Said Samantha thoughtfully running her fingers over her lips.

Keirin began to remember who could teach them martial magic and there were not many options left, she hoped that this was not a monster of the academy.

- Okay, let's go find out from his classmates. - Cassandra said sharply in a casual tone, getting up from the sofa.

Keirin and Samantha looked at Cassandra's behavior with uncomprehending eyes. Who did she want to know where Trey had gone?

- Why are you looking at me like that? You forgot that he is in the elite class and they all live in this house. - Cassandra said in surprise, gesturing around the house.

Keirin understood what Cassandra meant, who, if not classmates, can know where Trey is now? But what will they say to these stufons?

- And what do we tell them? Hello, can you tell me where is your classmate Trey, he didn't come home because it's already dark? Samantha asked caustically as she watched Cassandra blush.

Unlike them, Keirin had a reason to look for Trey, she was his servant, that they were his two wives didn't make any sense until they performed the ritual of marriage.

- I will go alone and you will stay here. I am his servant, so it is my task to find him. - Keirin said, rising from her chair and heading for the exit, but suddenly she felt someone pulling her back by the hand.

Turning, she saw Cassandra holding her hand and pulling her back.

- What are you doing? Keirin asked as she watched Cassandra pull her closer to her.

Seeing that Keirin stopped and was looking at her, Cassandra came closer to her and looked into her eyes.

- We are his wives, we are also concerned where he disappeared. - Cassandra said without taking her eyes off Keirin.

Keirin could only shake her head at Cassandra's argument, but she was glad that her sister wasn't trying to act like Cassandra.

- Did you have a wedding ritual? Keirin asked as she watched Cassandra's gaze change.

Cassandra moved away and lowered her gaze down, she understood what Keirin was leading to.

- No, we didn't have a wedding ritual, and you know it. Cassandra said irritably, looking up at Keirin.

Keirin could only sigh, the difference between light and dark elves was always noticeable. Not only in who led the race, but the very concept of the world was also different.

If for a light elf the ritual of the wedding was the main reason to consider his partner as his own. But for the dark elves, the wedding ritual meant that they decided to demonstrate that they were together forever.

- Then you know that you are only wives in name until the ritual is done with Trey, you are relatively free to choose and you have no incentive to ask where he is. - Explaining in a tired voice, Keirin looked away from Cassandra and Samantha.

Keirin, like the girls, knew that Trey was not interested in them in any way princesses in any way. It was they who challenged him and put themselves on it, they did not know how Keirin became his servant but it was clear that she was really worried.

- Wedding ritual mean? When we find him, I'll demand this ritual if it's that important. - Cassandra said with anger in her voice, she remembered what she said to Samantha during the day and now she confirmed her words.

Samantha, listening to their conversation, and thought about how right Keirin was, unlike them, she was his servant and they only had words that were not confirmed by anything.

- Cassandra, is she right? Think we know nothing about him except that he is the owner of the magic of darkness and that we lost to him, yes it was, but our people will accept us back if we tell the truth that there was no wedding ritual. - Said Samantha, lowering her eyes down, she understood that she was proposing to go against the agreement of the queen and king of the light elves, as well as the matriarch of the dark elves.

Cassandra turned her uncomprehending gaze to Samantha, her friend offering to renounce the vow they made?

She could understand since Samantha had a fiancé and with whom they had a normal relationship but would it be accepted by the queen and king regardless of race if someone breaks an oath that was given publicly and then refuses such a representative will be shunned as a perjurer.

- This is what I'm talking about, the girls you and Trey are connected only by an agreement and the words of your rulers, but you are not toys in their hands, do what you want and with whom you want. - Supported the words of Keirin's younger sister, turning again and about to leave, she felt someone standing behind her.

Turning her head, Keirin saw Cassandra who was standing with a calm expression on her face, but in her eyes you could see how they were burning from the inside.

- I'm going with you, and you, Samantha, think about who will need you if you are ready to give up your oath so easily. - Cassandra spoke in a calm voice, heading for the door to put on her shoes.

Samantha saw her sister and her friend leave Cassandra's last words were repeated in her head and she could not give the correct answer.

She was raised as someone who would not be able to claim but then her older sister died and the power was to pass to Keirin but she fled leaving her alone. She heard the door close but she didn't get up and followed them Samantha wanted to find the right solution but there was none.

The queen and the king might have accepted her back, but the price would have been that all the light elves would be confused with deceivers and liars. Everything that other rulers built would be destroyed by her, but even the disdain from her own people that she betrayed what distinguished them from other races, the light elves never broke their oaths, no matter to whom they were given. Wrapping her arms around her legs, Samantha closed her eyes in an attempt to forget herself and find answers.
