18 Like a princess in Knight’s arms (2/2)

Don saw a little bump on the floor ”Hidden safe huh”

Very quickly Don pried open the safe with his knife and saw some documents and a pouch full of coins, he took and folded the documents and put it inside his pant pockets then he opened the pouch and saw many shining gold coins.

”I'll take this but...” he realized he couldn't put it into his pant pockets as its too big

”Put it inside the pocket” Don threw the pouch towards the half-elf and stepped away from the hidden safe and stood to look up the hole on the roof, the half-elf caught the pouch with her two hands and hesitated for a moment but eventually she decided to put it inside the pockets.

”Let's go” Don motioned the half-elf to come near him with his hands.

She wanted to ask where and how however she knew the guards would come knocking soon at that time she couldn't hope to escape, the only way out of here was with the human before of her.

”Ok,” she said with a little fear and stepped near him just when she did that a pair of strong hands lifted her from the ground, she was in the arms of the human, like the princesses in the stories she heard from her mother.

”Put your arms around my neck and hold me tightly” she had no time to react to what the human said before she was flying in the air. She couldn't believe her eyes, the wind was strong as it caused her hair to fly into her face, she quickly put her hands around the human and held him tightly.

Flying through the air Don didn't look at the half-elf in his hands, only thing was going on his head was that what the mysterious mage said, he had a bad feeling about it,

What did he mean by ”extermination”, is it only him or an organization?

”Either way I need to get stronger and build an army soon,” he told himself.

”Who are you?” the half-elf finally asked Don, as he looked down at the half-elf in his arms

”I am Don,” Don calmly said.

”Don” the half-elf muttered his name and slowly closed her eyes in exhaustion and tiredness.

Half an hour later, Don landed outside of the city walls where he and Uncle Dior planned to meet but as he looked around there was no one in the vicinity only some big trees before him, he was sure Uncle Dior would not leave him behind but just when he was thinking about Uncle Dior a figure came out behind a big banyan tree.

”Holy! What took you so long” Uncle Dior questioned just when his eyes widened in surprise when he saw the half-elf sleeping in Don's arms. Clapping his hands gladly, he almost shouted out loud: ”You saved her”

Don nodded his head lightly

”Bryan what... what happened?” Uncle Dior mumbled.

”He's dead”

Uncle Dior breathes out a heavy sigh of relief when he heard Don although he believed in Don, he still wanted to hear from the man killed Bryan himself.

”We should get out before the guards come looking,” Don said.

”Can you walk fastly carrying her?”

”We are flying,” Don said simply and controlled the air element around Uncle Dior using his battle energy with his fingers and took off from the ground at high speed like an eagle, the dust on the ground they were standing, wiped away from the force Don took off. It made a distinctive nearly a six feet radius circular mark on the ground.

”You son of a ahhhhhhhhhhh”
