The Adventure Of Eric (The Rescue of the Elf Princess)
20. The Seven Wolves Gate

The Crown Prince took the difficult path through the waterfall and the red forest. The other half of the army, passing through the butterfly village. They've been walking since before sunrise.

"Be careful, Your Majesty! The road is so slippery!" The personal guard of the Crown Prince looked for a safe way for him to pass through the cliff of the fountain. The secret path was right behind the curtain of water that fell from the top of the cliff.

The large stones they stepped on, were not exposed to the sun. While the water always soaks. It makes the moss grow lushly.

However, even though it is very difficult, the road there is relatively safe. Never mind Orcs. Even the Elves did not know that there was a way through there.

Before long they passed by a small farming village. "From this village I am from, Your Majesty." Commander of the Army Prince Glenn told.

The man stopped for a while in a small house. A woman came out and was surprised. Then hugged and waved at the prince's army that crossed the village.

In a cliff recess, the troops stopped to rest.

"How far can we get to the border?" ask the Crown Prince.

"About two hours' drive, Your Majesty," the commander replied.

"good. Let's rest and gather some energy first" the Crown Prince ordered.

The other half of the Crown Prince's army, crossed the butterfly village. The journey in the village was great. Although it is a suburban village, but often used as a shortcut by officials who go to the hunting ground. So, that's why the streets there are well built.

The Crown Prince's troops traversed the vast and colorful flower garden. On top of the flower bed, butterflies and beetles flew, collecting honey.

The butterfly, who was a resident of the village, was surprised to see so many palace troops crossing the village.

"Where are you going?" ask a butterfly into the ear of an Elf warrior.

"You're back in the capital!" answer the soldier.

"Aren't you usually not going through here?" the butterfly asked, wanting to know.

"In the city there are Orcs who come to attack. Have you not heard from?" ask the soldier back.

"The village is very remote and small. There is no news we have received here. How can we help?" tanyakanya.

"The great war will begin this afternoon. Just prepare medicine and food for us," wooed the soldier.

"I'll tell the others and prepare the ones that can!" The butterfly flew away. Before long, all the butterflies in the flower field disappeared simultaneously, out of nowhere.

They were the first source of news about the arrival of the Crown Prince's soldiers and the retaliation plan later in the afternoon. Make the entire city immediately quiet and prepare supplies in each house.

Listening to the stories of the Elves who had just entered a bit of the Mage Kingdom and had to return home.

"We're going to report this to the palace. So, Prince Glenn went on a quest to find Princess Cristal. And you're back to follow the war of vengeance commanded by the Crown Prince?"

"Rubber. The Crown Prince said he would attack later in the afternoon. Can you tell us, which path we should take, in order to reach the border of the Elf Kingdom later in the afternoon?" ask the commander of the army.

"Good!" The border guard leader immediately called someone.

"Yes, Commander!" answer the soldier.

"Take them through the gates of the seven wolves, in order to reach the borders of the Elf Kingdom quickly!" his orders.

"Good!" The Fairy Soldier nodded.

After resting and receiving the hospitality of the fairies, the Elf army continued on its way. A guide, easing their travel in a foreign country.

"What is the gate of the seven wolves?" ask the commander at the road sign.

"The gate is guarded by seven white wolves" he replied,

"Isn't that dangerous?" ask the commander.

"If you don't do what you don't like, as long as you don't break the rules. As long as he is not in a bad mood, then everything will be fine," replied the guide fairy lightly.

The commanders of the army looked at each other. A very common warning, without explaining what details the seven gatekeepers disliked. How absurd.

The elf then stopped and pointed at the strange gate not far ahead.

"Is that the gate?" ask one commander.

"Yes. We have to go down there, to get through it." The fairy opened the way, down the five-meter-high cliff.

The soldiers rode down carefully. All alert. Worrying about wrongdoing and offending the white wolf who was the guardian of the place.

Shortly after they set foot in front of a strange gate that was somehow made of what bones. The wolf's growl sounded.

All soldiers are alert. They don't feel like they're making a mistake. If those wolves were still unhappy and intended to block the way, then there was no choice but to fight back.

"Ggrrhhhh!" Seven snow-white feathered wolves and blue eyes, lined up blocking the gate. The pointed and sharp teeth were pointed out, making shudder anyone who saw.
