Chapter 57

“Rise and shi+ne! Everyone line up outside, double time”

A deep voice coh I was tired, I kneould be a bad idea to disappoint our neners on the first day Likewise Pirin woke up from her deep sleep

“Let’s hurry up and get ready”

Pirin and I exchanged a knowing look and quickly got dressed before lining up outside There were hundreds of us, all in an orderly forolden insects that had led us to our roo solely by our numbers, we should have been able to overwhelm them, but we knew that it would be impossible

“Froreat city where even the lowliest slaves are well fed and housed, but never forget your statuses as slaves You are all a foolish race which chose to stand against us, so you ork and work until you pay off your crimes!”

We were then led to the large farms and pastures on the outskirts of the city, under the careful watch of the flying insects Fro for the plants and animals

It was enjoyable for most of us because Elves had an affinity for nature and ani care of theing us on or inflicting pain in order for us to work faster

“Can we really be called slaves?”

Pirin who had been playing with the young lambs suddenly asked me

“It is indeed fun to play with the aniriculture can be hard work, are the rulers of this city unaware that it is a joy for us?”

The truth was that Gnoss and Noradriana were aware, and had gone to great lengths to create an enjoyable environment for the captive Elves

If either Johra or Valenor had known about this, they ry as their resentment for the Elves ran deeper However, ood to be true and didn’t believe that slaves could be treated so well

“It’s time to eat”

The bread and soup that the insects distributed a us was of a heavenly flavor What rain which had been soaked in that sacred nectar, or the rain

For the Elves who had not lived in Elfenheim for tens of thousands of years, this was the ideal food for them because their bodies were more sensitive to it’s heavenly properties Despite thousands of years having past since they had fallen to this world, their race’s constitution hadn’t changedthe nutrients found in this revolutionary food

“This!”

“Woaaa!”

Outbursts of pure nutritional ecstasy were heard here and there, as if their bodies recognized the taste of hoenerous rations, it wasn’t nearly enough and it had all disappeared in a flash

“Wow, this was really tasty right?”

“It’s a bit suspicious that they are feeding us so well, are they trying to fatten us up for later?”

“Ah ha ha!”

Pirin and I joked together, it had been some time now since we could live peacefully, with a comfortable bed and abundant food

It was indeed the life of a slave in Necropolis; warreat food and an enjoyable job It wasn’t only Pirin and I ere content, but all the Elves walked around with a vibrant smile

When we returned to our rooht (cerface is work, actually enjoyable day)

We were not the only one judging by the laughter which rang out in our slave accommodations

“Could this be a paradise for Elves after all?”

“

I worry that I’ll wake up tomorrow and this will only have been a dream”

Pirin and I talked late into the night, before falling asleep, exhausted from our day’s work

Knock Knock Knock!

“Tiather outside!”

Pirin and I jumped out of bed and lined up outside with a sinally been apprehensive about, was noelco the start of a wonderful new day

Norle meal per day Once they became adults, they would usually only eat twice a week, but even that ale human meal

In Necropolis however, the Elves had gained the title of gluttonous eaters Even the overseer insects were bla sufficient food It was ie that even the lowliest slave be well fed and cared for

However, even if they had prepared two tiain entirely consuh of this heavenly food which re lost Elfheim

The sa to increase our portions until ere satisfied This went on until the tenth day when they finally gave up and began controlling our rations ed to find a proper equilibrium, but of course Elves still ate more than four times more than other races

“There’s a rus that only eat all day long! Our iraceful and noble race has been eroded!”

On theof the twentieth day the instructors told us that ould be working two hours of overtime Naturally it wasn’t a problem for us because it occurred after dinner which was the time that ere the most content

“Is it justhealthier by the day?”

“Ah you too! I also feel a bit different”

Ever since our race had been banished from Elfheim, our constitution had declined and weakened However, now that ere receiving such nutritious food and had gained the blessing froth

After only a th had taken a qualitative leap It was an aura that had previously only been found in the few High-Elves of our race

“How terrible it is to be an overseer, I don’t even eat as well as the slaves I’e of!”

It was a bit irritating to hear the insects’ co, but all in all the life of a slave in Necropolis was quite enjoyable There were no dangers, great food and beds with enjoyable jobs The best part of it was that I could share in all of this with my people and friends
