21 Destiny begins II (2/2)
”Ye...yes” the half-elf girl slowly nodded.
”Alright, you rested enough I'll bring you to see Don and Knight they should know you are awake” while she said Amaryll felt that the half-elf still has some reservation towards them.
”What's your name?”
”Ar...Arrora” the half-elf girl said in a low pitched voice.
”I know you are afraid but you don't have to be. I know Don could be how'd you say cold-blooded but he's a kind of a good guy and he saved you right?”
Arrora recalled the scene him killing Minister Bryan and giving his robe to cover herself and carrying her in his arms and nodded
”He also saved me and my brother although he won't talk too much, you can trust him he's not like other humans” Amaryll started to trust and viewed him differently.
”Come on let's go” Amaryll reached her hands out towards Arrora gesturing her to take her hands.
Arrora hesitated for a moment but eventually, she took her hands and stood up and followed Amaryll outside, The stars hung above them as if strung in the air by invisible strings and the half-moon shined like a pearl on the beautiful dark blue starry night sky.
”That's Don's hut he made it himself cool, isn't it? He probably is there with Uncle Dior and my Brother and Knight”
Amaryll pointed to a sturdy hut made of mud, Arrora could vaguely see some figures standing in front of a small fire pit but as they walked towards them she started to see them more clearly.
Arrora saw an elf with the bow on his back, he resembled Amaryll a little and a half-elf besides him he was a bit older than the elf but he was taller and wore a brown robe and looked at the figure opposite to the half-elf as Aurora's eyes went wide the figure was a white Lion with two big feathery wings what shocked her more was this lion was talking and smiling like a person.
Besides the lion was either a youth or a man, seeing him she felt
if she blinked she might miss him. Tall, lean and cloaked in shadow, he wore long black robes reinforced with ornate steel plating that glinted in the half moonlight. A deep cowl hid his face behind him, she could see something on his back formed a shape of 'X'.
Everyone looked at the newcomers especially Arrora,
”Girl are you fine?” just while she was looking at the man in a black robe, the half-elf man came before her with a concerned look,
Before Arrora could answer Amaryll said
”She is fine Uncle Dior since she was awake I thought she should meet you”
”Arrora this is Uncle Dior and this is my brother Arwen” Amaryll pointed the elf behind Uncle Dior.
”And this is Knight” Arrora said looking at the white Lions as Knight made his signature move, ruffled his mane in a kingly manner.
”You already met Don right” she pointed at the black-robed man when he removed his hood and revealed his expressionless handsome face, he had dark black eyes and raven-colored hair and she could see the toned body hiding beneath the robe.
Arrora stared his face carefully but she could see any resemblance to the brown-haired human who saved her, she was confused
”Ah you have seen his Mike face, this is his real face” Uncle Dior exclaimed.
”Mi...Mike's face” but before she could think about anything Don took his magical mask out and put it on his face.
At the moment he did that, Arrora's eyes went wide in shock and surprise while his face transformed into the face she saw before and when he took off that mask, that face has gone,
”Don” Arrora said.
”That's amazing right? It's called a magical mask. He could change his face anytime but don't get confused. This is his real face is it Don?”
Don nodded and put his hood on again.
”Did you eat anything?” Knight asked Arrora but before she could say anything her stomach growled answered that question, Arrora's face slightly turned red in embarrassment.
”Right I'll go bring her something” Amaryll turned away and ran towards her hut.
She awkwardly stood among the group
”Here drink this you feel better” Don gave her the healing potion to her.
”This ...is this a healing potion?” She looked puzzled.
”Yes you will feel better drinking it” Arwen said.
Eventually, she started to pour the potion into her mouth under the gaze of everyone as soon as she did that the pain she felt was lessened and felt invigorated.
”So do you have anyone we could take you to?” Uncle Dior asked but when he asked Arrora's eyes turned watery and two teardrops flowed on her cheeks.
”No my parents...they were killed I have no one” her voice was full of sadness, they felt her pain in the heart from the voice alone.
”I am sorry if you want we can take you to your homeland”
Arrora shook her head while wiped the tears from her face,
”My kingdom my home it's all gone they took it away”
Her sadness turned into anger and the red blood vassals in her eyes became visible.
”Who? Where is your home?”
”Ve...The Venus Kingdom in Elvenor Continent” at the moment she mentioned the Venus kingdom the wind started to blow violently around them the fire before they started to go out, the trees began to bent like they were being pushed by an invisible force, simply they felt a mini storm without rain.
”Don” Knight shouted and Arrora looked at Don to see he was clenching his fists tightly and his body trembled, there were some fire sparks coming out of his clenched fists, and an immense killing intent radiated from him it made them hard to even breath.
She was certain that only after she mentioned her kingdom's name he became like this but she had no idea why?
