The Thousand Year Dynasty
Prolog Third Arc
Suburbs of the city of Rebenes in the northern region of the kingdom of Estrinx.
Inside a shabby house on the edge of a cliff with illumination, there appeared a man eating alone in silence. The man's face always looked alert and cautious looking at the doors and windows he tightly closed. Suddenly the door was knocked.
"Who's having a night like this?" The man muttered while walking towards the door vigilantly. He peeked out of the door. Find out who's outside.
The man was shocked to see who was at the door. "How did that Elf find me here" he whispered.
"I know you're inside. Quickly open before I break down" a girl's voice from behind the door sounded loud.
"really shit. Is my bad luck with regards to that Aeron girl going to continue?" Said the man while leaning his weight on the door. As if by doing so the problems behind it will soon disappear. And the Elf girl immediately left him alone.
"All right then. I will break it down now" said the Elf girl from outside.
"No need!" The man southed quickly as he opened the door. "What else do you need with me?" Said later.
The Elf girl smiled seeing the door open. "Didn't you have any manners? You didn't let your guests in?" Then he said with a smile.
"good. Comein"
-
"What else do you need? Didn't I say everything. Don't you believe it?" Asked the man after the two of them had already sat in the guest room inside the house.
"I know you're telling the truth. I've got my two Arcane stones now" the Elf girl replied as she leaned back onto the wooden chair back that looks like it was made.
"All right, I'm not lying. Then what else do you need from me? And how else could you find me in a remote suburb like this?" Ask the man, who looks curious and also feels disturbed.
"I put a stream of Souls on your ring as a marker. So as long as you're still wearing it, I'll always be able to find you" the Elf girl replied, pointing to the ring on the left ring finger of the man.
"You put a marker on me? Since when did you put it up?" The man immediately removed the ring made of a mixture of iron and bronze with a small ruby encrusted on it. Then put it on the table.
"After you fainted yesterday. Besides why did you come this far from where you were yesterday, within these two days? I thought you were going to be with your friends in Hish City. I'm having trouble finding you."
"How did you know my friend was in Hish town? You put a marker on them, too?" Asked the man who the Elf girl answered with a nod.
"It's not clear, I'm running away from them for failing to look after you" the man continued, explaining his reasons for being far north of the Estrinx region.
"You avoid punishment?"
"My group, those people, will definitely impose severe punishment on people like me. Otherwise kill me" the man replied with a look of despair.
"likeyou? A Complainant?"
"Easy-after. So what's the reason you came to me here again? What else do you need?"
"Information again"
The man squinted his eyes suspiciously. "Are you going to threaten to kill me again this time?"
"Hm" looked the Elf girl silently thinking. "How about this time I offer you help to save you from dying?"
"You just changed the sentence. It means stay the same. You're threatening me"
"No. I offered help. I'll take you somewhere safe away from those people who want to kill you"
The Elf girl simply nodded quickly with a smile. "It looks more suspicious" the man added again.
"So who's the one who planned the kidnapper against me?" Ask the Elf girl then.
The man looked silently at the face of the Efl girl with worry. "Are you really going to take me away from them?"
The Elf girl nodded again with a serious face.
"There was a high-class noble in the Elbrasta kingdom. He hired my group" the man began to explain.
"What is Grevier?" The Elf girl suddenly asked.
Seeming surprised the name was called, the man immediately made a sound by touching his index finger to the mouth, asking the Elf girl to speak more slowly.
"The name is the name of the son of the newly appointed king Elbrasta. You have to be careful when you say it" the man said later.
"So he's the one? And what was the purpose of doing that to me? I never remember meeting him or Elbrasta's royal relatives, what else caused trouble against them"
"It's not like that. We were tasked with arresting you because your search for two Arcane stones could cause trouble and ruin their plans" the man replied.
"Oh, so was he the one who stole the stones from Tiere?"
"I don't know for the matter. My job is to catch you. That's it"
"And how did you know of my existence, also using the means to weaken me with that magic weakening potion? Because obviously you wouldn't know anything about the potion. If you knew, you would have run away first when I was exposed to the sun yesterday"
"Rightly we know nothing about the potion. We were just ordered by someone Narva girl. We don't know her name, but from the way she dresses, it looks like she's a witch. From the nobility" replied the man. "The woman told me where you were and how to ambush you" he explained.
"And what if you're exposed to the sun?" Add the man later. He seemed curious about it.
"Sunlight offers the impact of the magic weakening potion" the Elf girl replied to the man with a small nod.
"Then why do they need the Arcane stone? What was Elbrasta's connection to the invasion of the caravan on the slopes of Karas, and the Mugger settlement in the forests north of Elbrasta?" The Elf girl asked.
"I don't know that well either. But it looks like they're looking for an excuse to attack Yllgarian village in the woods"
"Why? That noble has a grudge against the Yllgarian race?"
"I don't know, it could be like that" the man replied briefly.
"All right then. Thank you" said the Elf girl this time.
"Then what about your promise?"
"really. I'll take you with me to leave this region. So get ready" the Elf girl ordered.
"Where are we going?"
"We're going to the forest north of Elbrasta. Yllgarian Village"
"WHAT?!"
