51 Getting rid of Burdens (2/2)
Inside were several pouches in one corner, along with six different colored ingots, and in 1/3 of the chest was a built a 3x6 grid out of wood that did not match the chest. The looked like they had been placed inside to organize easier. two of the grids had several small packages tied with strings. Looking inside he saw a ration of fine meat and berries and nuts. It was still fresh so at least now Lurk knew that time did not run inside the chest... Or these rations were extremely longlasting...
He looked into the other grids but only two more had items, he pulled out a delicate looking dagger. It was decorated with amazing patterns of gold and silver with an eagle at the end of the handle. It was also an amazing looking dagger.

”whoa...” Lurk exclaimed as he held the dagger. Emily looked annoyed at Lurk, she did not like seeing a goblin wielding an elven item, but she knew from her friend that most elven items were impossible to wield except if an elf used them. To the dismay and annoyance of many humans that had sometimes managed to get their hands on these items.
”You won't be able to use it... the blade will be blunt to anyone but an elf” Emily smirked at Lurk. Lurk looked at it and tried to cut a piece of string from his pocket without using his elven soul. And as Emily had said the blade did not cut the string at all.
”Well now you at least know its a strong magic item,” Emily said, she sat up as she had been feeling better she jumped down looking at Lurk who held the dagger out as he let the string fall onto the blade with its own weight, but this time he activated the soul link, and Emily looked shocked as the string fell past the blade into two pieces. The blade was extremely sharp.
”What... How...” She looked flabbergasted at Lurk
”Well... As I have been trying to say... Mercia is my mother...I have an elven soul just like her.” Lurk said looking at the dagger before he sheathed it back into its sheath and tied it to his belt. Emily looked at Lurk stunned.
”And I am sure she did not mean to leave you behind... The timing of the goblins storming inside just as help arrived... It was impossible to get anyone else but her out... She did not have any say in it...” Lurk looked at Emily with gentle eyes as he tried to explain what happened back then. He was not sure how aware Emily had been back then. But she had been stuck in the darkness and the sudden flash of light from the teleport had blinded not only the goblins but also her. Only seeing flashes and hearing violent noises from the battle and screeches, she could maybe tell someone was there where Mercia had been. But she would not have been able to see it properly.
”Mercia was in a Stasis spell, she could not have a say in what happened... The elf girl that appeared in Vine armor who slew the goblins inside looked around methodically and when the door was bashed in she vanished with Mercia.”
Emily looked down, her memories were back again, but they were slowly being explained away by the goblin in front of her.
”... Why are you doing this...” Emily said as she looked up at Lurk
”I just want everyone to be safe... When I return you to human lands... If you meet Mercia I would ask you to tell her something...” Lurk said solemnly.
”Tell her I am thankful she gave birth to me.” Emily looked at the goblin in front of her, she just could not see it as an evil goblin anymore. All her instincts and thoughts of what goblins had done to her and would do if they caught her. Simply did not apply to the being in front of her anymore. She nodded to Lurk.
”I will.” She said and smiled at Lurk.
