Chapter 36 Living with elvers 3 (2/2)
”Victoria do you mind looking after the other while me and Rex go out to play for a bit?”
Victoria raised her head and gave Mars a cold look before she stood up and stretched as her horns flashed
”you... better be.... back soon”
then she turned around and also walked towards the cabin leaving Mars and Rex alone
”...then let's go”
Mars was a little sad seeing Victoria sulking but he put it in the back of his mind, as this was not the first time they had been attacked by the stealth acid spiders and he was getting rather annoyed by them he had now decided to end them once for all, Rex had quickly prepared and gave Mars a pat on the shoulder
”if we are fast we might make it there just before sunset, then we might be able to make it back just before midnight”
Mars gave a nod and secured his leather belt on his new shorts and sheathed his bone sword before he followed Rex into the forest, as he decided to cheek his status before the upcoming fight

Mars confirmed his level witch he had raised by hunting magic beast and sitting on a fire over the last 2 mouths and gave a nod as he cheeked his stored energy
”...this should do for a spider hunt”
Mars followed after Rex that was leading the way through the forest in silence for a few kilometers until he broke the silence as he asked him a question
”how long have you known Chloe?”
Rex didn't answer him right away as he kept walking and cheeking the surroundings
”ever since she was born... 121 years ago”
Mars gave a nod as the 2 of them kept walking in silence for a little more time before he asked another question
”her standing is higher than the rest of you right?”
Rex remand silent as he walked through the forest as Mars continued talking
”i mean you told her to run away when we first met”
Rex gave a sigh but still kept his mouth shut while Mars talked on
”she also don't seem used to sleeping outside, and her combat experience seems like it's lacking in comparison to the rest of you”
Rex finally decided to spill the beans and after a sigh he started talking
”she's the Village chiefs only daughter”
Mars stopped walking when he heard what Rex said as his head went to work
'the Mother town massacre was tricked by the murder of the village chief's wife 80 years ago... that would have made Chloe 41 years old at the time, while i don't know how elvers mature judging by her current temperament, she might just have become of age...no wonder she hates humans so much'
Mars decided to remain silent as the two of them walked on through the forest until Rex raised his hand giving Mars a signal to be silent and come closer, Mars followed Rex's lead and walked up to him and looked in front
'...this is?'
first Mars didn't know what he was looking at, through the trees he saw a clearing with a lake in the middle, the lake was silent with some old trees that was uprooted laying in the water covered in moss, but then he spotted movement in the water as something invisible seemed to emerged from the lake and his ears picked up some familiar sounding 6 legged footsteps
