19 The Destined One (1/2)
Back in his hut in the elven forest in the outer lands, Knight sat on the ground thinking back to the moments from the Divine Continent, both Don and him were inseparable there, this is the first time in a long time Don went somewhere without him. Knight realized that they are going to face many more unique situations here than the Divine Continent.
Ever since they arrived at this new world and rescued the elves, Knight knew they are not alone in this world and if they are going to face powerful enemies they need to protect the elves, at least until they turn this group of weak elves into deadly warriors.
Aside from that, Don and himself also want to increase their cultivation, now they were both at Moon level(realm) but to rule this continent they had to reach peak Star level.
While Knight was intriguing, a figure entered his hut.
Knight ruffled his hair and slowly stood up to see the figure entered the hut, it was Amaryll with a worried face.
Her emotions were not easily hidden on her innocent face. Her confusion and worry were evident in the crease of her lovely brow and the down-curve of her full lips. But her eyes, her eyes showed her soul. As Knight looked into her eyes he knew, she was still thinking about the bandits and Minister Bryan, she was clutching her green skirt tightly and her mouth was twitching like she needed to speak but couldn't find the right words.
Knight knew what she was going to ask, the same questions she asked him countless times since Don's departure ”What do you think happened to Don?”,”Do you really think Minister Bryan will be dead?” ”Are we safe here?”
After a couple of times Knight reassured her, he started to get irritated to answer this cute little elf as he gently shook his head stepped towards her,
”Look Amaryll you starting to get into my nerves”
Amaryll didn't look surprised or shock to hear Knight, her face still showed the same worried expression when she entered the hut,
”I'm sorry but where's Don? He should have come back by now right”
She asked while she walking towards Knight and sat before him crossed legs and one arm on her chin supporting her head,
Knight breathed a heavy sigh
”I told you everything will be alright what are you so afraid of?”
She avoided Knight's gaze reply for a moment her body was tensed then eventually she looked at him
”I...What if something happened to Don and Minister Bryan found us?”
”Hahaha” Knight started to laugh at the moment she finished talking his white teeth was fully exposed as he laughs
Amaryll was surprised to see Knight's reaction as she couldn't find the reason for his laughter her worried expression turned into pouting
”What's so funny?”
”You think a puny Minister in a puny city is gonna kill Don”
A simple line of words, but Knight was extremely arrogant and domineering
”Why do you trust him so much? You are a magical beast and he's a human”
The laugh on Knight's face vanished in a second when he heard Amaryll's words, he frowned his eyebrows he looked straight at Amaryll's eyes but his gaze was sharp
”You know nothing about me and Don...For you, I'm a magical beast and he's a human but for us we are brothers”
Amaryll sat there on silence as Knight continued
”Don never easily trust anyone but he doesn't betray the people who trust him”
”I'm not trusting a stranger, a human at that although my brother seems to trust Don I don't know why” she breathed a sigh and said,
”Because your brother doesn't want to live the rest of his life hiding and running” Knight calmly replied as he ruffled his mane which he likes to do many times a day,
”Can Don do something like that I mean uniting all the races and building a kingdom?”
Knight neglected Amaryll's gaze and continued to ruffle his man and said,
”Of course I and Don can do that but not with you questioning the man who saved you and your entire tribe”
The elf narrowed her eyes as she leaned forward a little
”I'm not being ungrateful or anything it's just his ambition seems unrealistic that's all”
”You will see” Knight simply said three words but his tone was full of confidence and arrogance,
Amaryll wanted to ask how he's being so confident just when Arwen rushed into the hut his face had a little smile, after Don's departure to slave city Arwen also pretty tensed up like Amaryll but now his body language was changed and relaxed
”Don and Uncle Dior are back” Amaryll quickly rose up as for Knight he just smirked at Amaryll and swaggered out.
******************
Leaving the slave city, Don did not take any detours, heading straight to elven camp.
By the time he reached the camp, it was already past morning he would have reached sooner if not for Uncle Dior shouting in fear to fly and wanted to throw up a couple of times, even with all Uncle Dior's shouting and flying the half-elf had not woke up, she was still sleeping in Don's arms like a baby.
Uncle Dior was not able to guess how can she sleep like this in the arms of a stranger, he could see her arms were still around his neck and Don brown robe was wrapped around her and proving her with comforting heat, the half elf's face was calm and serene while she was sleeping it was exact opposite of what he saw in the auction.
Just as he landed on near his hut, he saw Arwen walking towards him with Knight and Amaryll beside him.
”Don Uncle Dior, what took you so long?”
Amaryll asked, but it only took her a moment, as her eyes widened in surprise when she saw a half-elf in Don's arms. Clapping her hands in surprise and shock, she almost shouted out loud: ”Who is she? What happened to her?”
”It's a long story we saved this poor soul from Minister Bryan. Don, you should bring her to Arwen's hut”
