5 Chance for Redemption (1/2)

Arwen looked at the lifeless body of the bandit leader falling to the ground. Even until now, Arwen couldn't accept the things that happened today, first, they were attacked by the bandits, next he was made to walk on the edge of death and then, the mysterious young human appeared out of nowhere to kill those bandits.

All of it seems like a nightmare as well as a dream to him.

Not only Arwen, but Amaryll also shared the same thought.

”Who who are you human?” Arwen questioned tiredly but his eyes had suspicions and caution against the youth.

”Before that” Don said and started to guide one of the knives with his finger to Amaryll and made it cut the ropes bound around her hands. Amaryll was slightly relieved to get her hands free as she rubbed her wrists for a bit.

”Untie them,” Don told Amaryll but she already began to cut the ropes of the other elves.

Arwen couldn't stand straight due to the injuries he suffered from the beating he took but he couldn't stand down either, because he knew that if the human in front of him decides to make a move against the elves, they don't stand a chance,

so he kept his guard up all the time while Amaryll freeing the elves.

The elves stood up and looked at Don. Some elves immediately went to their kin and hugged them tightly, while Amaryll slowly walked towards her brother and threw his brother's arms around her neck to support him standing.

”I know you have a lot of questions but first you should see the others, ”

As he said Knight looked at upwards

'Knight, I think you have seen enough, bring the elves you rescued' Don told Knight telepathically.

Amaryll and Arwen didn't know what he meant by seeing the others, but they discovered out soon when a majestic lion with the wings like an angel flew down from the skies while its mane swayed in the wind, they saw a bubble beside the lion which carried a group of elven children and some elven women and men,

The lion landed in front of Arwen and ruffled his mane in a kingly manner and closed its wings.

”Look up there it's Edrahil, my son Edrahil” one elf woman shouted and ran towards an elf boy.

”My husband my husband is alive,” another elf shouted.

The mood of the elves slowly turned to slight happiness seeing their fellow friends and kin.

One by one the elves shouted when they saw their kin, of course, some elves were looking and forage desperately for their relatives.

Arwen and Amaryll let out a long breath of sigh after looking at their tribe members safe and sound. Everyone was hugging and crying in happiness while holding their kin but Amaryll was looking at the human before her who saved them and the majestic beast beside him.

The cold look on the youth's face before now became expressionless, and the beast beside him had excitement in its eyes like a child seeing something for the first time.

As a girl who grew up in the woods Amaryll had knowledge about many magical beasts but not this particular beast in front of her, it looked like a Lion but had a set of wings and gold color fur that was shining even in the light of fire around them and besides, the winged lion looked at everyone like a king look at his subjects, as an elf she felt more connected to nature and living beings in the forest so she couldn't help but study the magical beast in front of her even though she just survived a disaster.

Just when she was admiring and studying the Lion she heard a majestic voice ”Haven't you seen a divine beast before lady?”

Amaryll startled and searched for the source of the voice, just when she noticed that Arwen seemed to be heard that too, and he was looking at the Lion with wide eyes and opened mouth.

”Did you just speak?” Amaryll asked glancing at the Lion ”Yes I'm talking to you”

Knight was also studying and glancing at the elves, that was why he saw that Amaryll was looking at him.

For Knight, who was born in another realm, he had not seen the other races such as elves. When he first saw the elves, he was astounded. They had long pointy ears, had fair skin like white gold, he had seen blonde people before, but never seen such golden and silver hair of elves, also they were taller than average humans and every elven woman was as beautiful as a full moon in the dark sky.

However, when he saw the bandits ravaging and hurting those beautiful creatures, Knight almost went berserk, he was a being who valued lives, he only kills when needed and he would never hurt those who don't deserve it.

All the elves paused what they were doing and focused on the beast, who could communicate like a human. Unlike the other elves, Arwen was more concerned about the youth, who could defeat peak level master magi in mere instants.

Don was also conscious of the concerns of Arwen ”Don't worry I won't harm you or your people. I'm here to offer you a chance to get back your former elven glory”
