Chapter 264 - Continent rush (3) (1/2)
”Well... This is about what I expected...”
Mars suddenly stopped walking and raised his hands, 78 was confused for a moment before the fluffy ears on top of her head twitched for a moment, then she also raised her hands... Marie was of course confused by their actions, that is until Mars spoke
”Come on stop hiding, we see you... We are here to deliver a lost child”
Then it suddenly clicked for Marie and being a smart child she also yelled
”I am okay, they didn't hurt me!”
Soon elves with bows raised and pointed towards Mars and 78 cam out from the underbrush, one of them imitadily commanded
”Put the child down!”
”Sure”
Mars picked up Marie that sat on his shoulders and put her down, but instead of returning to her people she clung to Mars' leg and yelled
”You're bad people! Mars didn't hurt me and yet you threaten him!”
”Marie come over he---”
Just as one of the elves spoke another one suddenly yelled
”Did you just say Mars!?”
The other elves paused and looked over at Mars for a few moments before they lowered their weapons as one of them whispered
”It's really him, Mars of Green river!”
Another one of them also wisphered
”What is the half-dragon of Green river doing here!?”
Mars gave a smile and lowered his hands before he spoke
”What I am doing here is a longer story, one that I think your elders would like to hear, right?”
The elves gave nods all around and one of them spoke out
”We'll show you the way to our village... I am sure that the elders will thank you for bringing Maire back to us, but let us do it too”
Then all the elves kneeled down and spoke out loud
”””””””We thank you Mars!”””””””
Mars gave a nod as a smile formed on his face before he spoke
”Please lead the way”
78 that walked besides Mars asked him
”Mars what's Green river?”
Mars' smile widened before he spoke
”Home”
78 gave a nod, then the group of four were escorted by the elves further into the forest...
”Where...?”
”sush lay down again Yel”
Yel obeyed the voice that she so often had before and laid down again before the image of her most dear person flashed through her head and she suddenly sat herself up, ignoring the dizziness she felt she spoke
”I need to train”
”Nope, you need to rest!”
Yel, still dizzy felt her body being pressed back down into the soft bed she was laying on before
”But mom if I don't train then Mars won't---”
”Won't what? Return? Since when have you grown such a pair? I distinctly remember giving birth to a daughter!”
”But mom---”
”No but's, have you forgotten what you are!? You dumb girl!”
Yel fell silent and stared at Xel for a few moments before she gave a sigh and spoke
”I am Mars' slave”
”Looks like you have not forgotten... Now who does you body and heart belong to?”
”Mars”
