The Adventure Of Eric (The Rescue of the Elf Princess)
16. Palace News

Some small, winged tree elves, came out from hiding on the edge of the forest. They could see Prince Levyn struggle to help put out the fires in his residence.

"Because the teleportation door can't be used for boarding, how about we fly and see what we can help there. Those Orcs won't be able to see because we're too small." One of the winged fairies gave an idea.

"You're right. With the battle and the fire, maybe the Elves there need medicine." Others chimed in.

"We collect the drugs first. Come on!" the fairies spread out in all directions and started sucking up the medicines they knew about.

In the city, the little fairies and the dwarves who had originally been hiding in fear, finally came out of the house and helped the soldiers who were injured by the fight.

One by one the bodies of the soldiers lying on the street, disappeared all. The dead they gathered under a big tree in the border forest. The injured were treated in every tree house and existing residents.

The city was cleared of the victims of Orc violence. Except those near where the Orcs gathered.

The tree elf elder performed a great death ceremony that night. All the tree fairies gathered under the tree that was considered to be the god tree, the place of the return of all the dead creatures.

As an Elf, Levyn did not understand what the tree fairies believed. He only looked with gratitude, as the soldiers, both dead and wounded, were not ignored on the streets.

Ceremony under the tree takes place wisdom and accompanied by the tones of haru. The God Tree even let out a faint light and water point from its leaves. Like crying over the big loss of the country.

Next the tree fairies, flower fairies, even butterflies, flew in a bright light, towards the residence of Prince Glenn.

"Please tell my mom that I'm fine here. He doesn't have to worry!" The young prince shouted his message.

The two mounted warriors were shocked when the teleportation path was cut off at a height of twenty meters from the ground.

However, they swiftly controlled the horse and landed on the roof of a nearby building, so they continued to run from the pursuit of Orcs who also did not think there was a horse falling from space.

The two of them were fleeing horses nonstop, heading towards the border with the land of the Blue Dwarves. It was a very long journey.

"I think we can rest for a while. The horses are exhausted" said one.

His friend looked around overgrown with trees. They're on the right track. The border forest with the Land of the Blue Dwarves. The place is quiet. Away from the fighting in the city.

"alright. We're taking an hour's rest." The soldier agreed with his friend. They stopped and rested for a while under the tree.

"How do you think the residence is now?" one spoke, removing the silence.

"What can you expect? If there's no help, then the place will be ashes." His friend breathed heavily and sadly.

"It is ..our task at this time is to carry out the order to find Mr. Robert and Doctor Chandra" said his friend.

"Where are we looking for them? As I recall, they used to go to the land of the Blue Dwarves as well not to settle down." One looked up, remembering old things.

"They're headed for a wall of light in the middle of the sea of the Blue Dwarf country!" timpal reminded his friend.

"Rubber! Then we also have to pass through that wall of light, just to meet the princess' friends?" his friend looked at him with a big question in his head.

"Who can guarantee we'll meet them directly behind the wall of light?" said critically.

His companion shook his head. "No one can give you any guarantees. Even the Princess did not know. He just wants to keep that hope burning in our hearts."

"If it turns out that across the wall the light is evil, how is it?"

His friend shook his shoulders and sighed. "I just know I'm on a duty to protect our country. The rest I'll consider as part of the hurdles and the risks of the task!"

Seeing his friend pensive, the soldier smiled and patted him on the shoulder. Let's continue the journey. I hope we can get there in the morning and rest in a safer place" he said.

The two horses continued their journey. Fast as flying.

"Lake in!" voice within.

The bodyguard came in with a bird whose feet were attached to message paper.

The Crown Prince could recognize that it was a bird belonging to the palace. "Bring him here!" yells.

The tired bird was handed over to the Crown Prince for inspection.

"Give him a drink and a meal." The man returned the bird to the bodyguard's hands after picking up the tucked message paper.

"Okay, Your Majesty." The guard came out.

The dim tent lights were raised so that the written message could be read clearly.

"What!"

Shouts inside the tent, startling the other bodyguards. Two people rushed in, to see what was happening.

"What's up, Your Majesty?" ask them astonishment, for they see not a single strangeness.

"Call all the commanders of the troops for an emergency meeting! Now!" his orders.

"Alright, carry it out!" the two bodyguards immediately ran out of the tent and carried out the order.

The Crown Prince walked back and forth inside the tent restlessly. No doubt something like this would happen in their country.

At about the same time, Prince Glenn got the first shocking news sent by his wife, Angel. He was angry and worried about the fate of all the servants and guards trapped in the residence.

After some time, before he made his decision, the message from the palace came again. It was much more surprising. It was unexpected that the palace would fall with just one strike.

Finally the commanders he brought, gathered to discuss it.

"The palace fell and was overrun by Orcs. My residence was also destroyed by the Orcs. I'm sure they've planned this carefully. Divide our troops so that the kingdom becomes weak. You better go back to the capital. Let me go find my daughter with the bodyguard I just brought," she broke.

The commanders were surprised. The new capital they left the day before, unexpectedly would immediately fall in one attack.

"We should divide the task. Someone has to tell other countries about this. There's no way Orcs can rule our country without big plans. While he did this action already with careful planning!" said one of the commanders.

"We of Prince Felix's army will follow you, Prince. You can use some of us to search for the group of Witches who are hiding and reporting this," said one of the army commanders.

"Select ten men, to follow me. The others better get back. Help secure the post-teleportation to the father's residence. Because he was the Temporary King of the Elf Kingdom!" obviously Prince Glenn.

"Good!" replied the commander.

What about the country of the fairies? Who's gonna spread it on them?" ask one of the commanders.

"I think my father must have told my sister what happened in the kingdom" Glenn guessed.

"What about the Blue Dwarf country?" ask the others.

"The position of the Crown Prince is closer to there. He should have reported that tug there!" Glenn replied quickly, according to the habits of the Crown Prince he had known all along.

"good. Then we just have to go back and surround the city?" ask commander.
