My name is Maidel Dorinshyl, I am an elf, I am only 98 years old (young among elves) among elves, I am that species that is considered to be royalty, or so my mother said before she died when I was only 15 years old . After I grew up a little, I understood that not everything is a bed of roses.
My family is divided into two, the upper dorinshyl family and the lower family, unfortunately I was born in the lower family and grew up carrying this burden. My family lives to serve superiors, we were treated like slaves, my mother was killed to set an example for others to work harder. We fought wars in the place of the superior family against creatures of other species.
Already in my adolescence, I was sent to my first war. In my first experience in a real war, I had to witness my father being killed by a troll, today I blame myself for not doing anything about it and just watching him being crushed, at that moment I just wanted to kill all the superior dorinshyl.
After the death of my father, who was the fleet captain and leader of the lower family, all members of the lower family came together and declared war on the upper family, the battle was long and bloody, several people I knew died that day.
I had a friend in the upper family, I was about my age, he always gave me food whenever he could, because I thought it was unfair to give a "child" such food that it looked very much like a horse's feces. He was also at war, killing my cousins from the lower family. By the way, he was the first relative I killed. While he was on the ground, he said the following words "be happy child" these were his last words, the worst thing is that he had family, parents and sisters, and everyone also died brutally in this war, I killed these people, their blood people run over my hands. I was mad at myself, everyone there, so I took my bow and knives and started killing all the members of the upper family uncontrollably. At the end of the war, the weak won the battle, we only won because we had more experience in battles, this was our first victory.
The war took several lives, the war also took the food, it is very likely that the superior family suspected that they would lose and wanted to make us suffer, and hid the food somewhere or destroyed all the food, after a long search for our land in search of food, it was confirmed that they had burned all the food in a closed thicket. As the daughter of the head of the lower family, heiress and now head of all Dorishyls, I decided that it would be good for the people if a group specializing in traveling abroad sought partnerships with other Elven families from some neighboring country, I joined the exploration group and I left the leadership with my younger brother, he had already said that he didn't want responsibilities, but he wanted to help me, especially at that time.
The trip can take some time, several weeks, even months depending on the route we are going to take, it can take until this mission is completed. So my people would have to eat the remaining food that my people stored a little bit at the end of the day. Although we will go on this trip on horseback, we will be crossing the country, and entering the neighboring country will not be an easy task.
Two months have passed since the trip started, I was just following orders from the commander, the person who swore my hand in marriage was also on this peacekeeping mission, when we saw a wall, our squad leader said we would have to cross the wall, because it would take much longer to surround that wall. We get closer to the wall and spot humans, the non-magical species, virgins when it comes to experimenting with pure magic. We were sent to this world almost half a century ago, but this is the first time that I have seen humans so closely, the squad chief said that we would have to kill those humans to get into the wall, so we took our bows and shot the humans over the wall, they fall into whatever is left after that wall.
We climbed the trees, tied ropes to the arrows, so that as soon as the arrow hit the wall, we tied the rope to a branch of the trees so that we could enter the wall using the ropes. We shoot, the arrows pierce and tie the rope to the trees for support, we all walk on ropes and reach the high point of the wall. The plan now was to find the sewers, they would take us out of this place that is inside the wall, the sewers would throw us into a rotten river that, from there, we would have to move on to find the elves who should help us.
From the top of the wall I see forests, but, ahead of me I see several buildings illuminated in different colors, something I would never expect to see in a primitive world like this. We went down the walls using knives to enter this huge city surrounded by the wall, as soon as we hit the ground, we decided to take a 30-minute break to be able to eat something and strengthen ourselves. I took my piece of chicken and then went out to look at the illuminated city from a distance. Until, above the highest mountains, a light shines in the sky, for a brief moment I feel as if I am hypnotized and a strong desire to want to follow the light, but soon I return to normal and did not understand what had just happened.
I started running to where my group was, but I ended up getting lost and almost falling off a mountain in such a hurry. However, from where I was standing, I could have a wide view of the place, and I ended up finding my camp. I take the binoculars my father had given me as a present on my 70th birthday and try to look deeper into the camp, but I didn't see my companions. I start looking all over the place, until I see a girl, she wore a black scarf, her hair was blond, she wore a blue overcoat and wielded a sword full of blood running down the end, the girl had blood all over her body , but the blood was not hers, but my relatives, squad chief and my future husband. That sparked a tremendous hatred sleeping inside me, but if they all couldn't face it, she just killed the best archers in the family, that is, she's skillful, good enough to be a big challenge, and to avoid that If I needed to put my life at risk, I needed a weapon that could kill it very quickly. With that goal in mind, I bit my lip and continued the journey, found the sewers, traced the paths on my map, and finally, I went to the exit, found the rotten lake and moved on.
After a whole day of searching, I think it is an elvish village, they were the ones my companions and I were looking for, as soon as I got there, everyone was looking and pointing at me. Behold, the chief of the village comes to me, I tell you everything that has happened so far, since the war between families and the massacre that the golden-haired girl made with my cousins, uncles and fiance.
The chief of the village, accompanied by two bodyguards, said that he was moved by my story and said that he had a weapon that could defeat giants and that he would take me there, the place where the weapon was, it was a ruined church, its walls were rotten, falling apart, it seemed that no one had cleaned the place for a few decades, on its walls there were some symbols, like a man on a cross, it must serve to worship a god I do not know.
Maidel - what god is there to worship in this place?
Head of the village - according to some books that were hidden in this place, it serves to worship a god who supposedly created the universe of humans. The god, by the way, is the one on that cross.
He points to the cross I had already seen and I am a little surprised.
Maidel - creator of a universe? A thin and weak man, how could he create an entire universe?
Chief of the village - I do not know how to inform you, because I did not read the book in full that this god is mentioned. If you want, I can give you the book.
Maidel - I think I will accept ...
I look ahead and see a weapon above a silver support, the weapon was a wooden bow, it seemed common, but it exuded an extreme magic inside it, I could feel its magic from afar. I approached the magic arch, with each step I could feel a different emotion, I already had in mind that it would be with this weapon that I would kill that demon that killed my cousins, uncles and fiance. I would do that, and no elf would have to die, but I was wrong.
Several elven soldiers armed with bows emerge from all the entrances to the church, all pointing at me, look back and see the village chief smiling at me
Head of the village - it is a pity that this is happening, princess. But ... I can't let you live.
Maidel - calm down ... We can solve this by talking.
Head of the village - no, there is no way to solve this just by talking. A few months ago, the black elf king invaded our village, killed several of ours, he said he would kill more, unless we took the head of the elf father of the Dorinshyl family.
Maidel - Look, Dorinshyl's father is dead and ...
Head of the village - he also said that he wanted the head of someone important in the family. We can even go after your father's body, but we were lucky that an important Dorishyl knocked on our door, and you handed the head of a tray dorishyl to us, yours.
Maidel - listen, I don't want to get my hands dirty.
Head of the village - just because you are female, we will end this in an instant, shooting you with arrows of fire that will burn you from the inside and spray you with dust.
My backpack falls, so I bend down to pick it up. The snipers were aware of my movements.
I have a secret skill, until a few decades ago only the upper family could use it, that was when some lower elves learned, and I was included among the elves who learned that skill.
This ability offers you a technique that casts a spell on everyone around you within 100 meters, everyone in between will blink, the time it takes them to open their eyes is about 4 seconds and they cannot open their eyes. in the meantime. So, I put my attack into practice. The skill is activated with thinking.
Maidel - * Sugureta tekunikku: Ichiji-tekina mabataki! * (Superior technique: temporal blink.)
I use those 4 seconds and quickly pull smoke bombs, the ability loses its effect, but as soon as they open their eyes, the smoke has already spread around me, they had no vision if I was in the middle of the smoke.
Head of the village - stay tuned !!
I appear behind the village chief and put a knife to his neck.
Head of the village - hehe?! ... how do you ...?
Maidel - I think I forgot to tell you how inferiors beat superiors ... We did not go to war unprepared. We used trained birds, these birds carried bombs, the bomb was very small, but its explosion could cause little damage. The bomb stuck to our enemy and, as soon as everyone fell, my fiance, who was carrying a device that fired the bombs, fired all the bombs, killing more than half of the superiors. The rest was a fierce melee battle, it gave us victory. The inferiors are strategists, you can say whatever you want about us, but this is how the war is…
Village chief - that doesn't explain anything ...!
Maidel - as soon as I entered your village, I went to your room, you were surrounded by soldiers, most of them are here, so I threw the bombs at the fan, they trapped their men and me, on the way to this temple, I had long enough to take all the bombs off me, and they all spread out among your men, if I press that button on my other hand everyone explodes.
Head of the village - you are bluffing ...! Shoot now, even if it kills me !!
I kick the village chief into the middle of the temple, throw myself out and push the button, for a fraction of a second I could see the village chief's expression of despair and I even heard some screaming, but that stopped as soon as the church exploded. Several pieces of the church spread through the village, breaking huts and crashing into brick houses. The explosion did not "affect" me, it hurt me a little because it hurled me away, but I survive. I get up and look at the remaining elves, some were crying, others were trembling with fear at seeing what I had done, others were just in shock.
Maidel - As of today, you lived under the care of the dorinshyl family ... We will take care of everyone, we will give each one a home. In return, we want you all to help us get food, this is how it will work, one hand washes the other.
They were afraid, but they were even more afraid of dying for the black elf king, knowing that, they accepted the offer to live within the kingdom of the dorinshyl family. They present me with a three-dimensional travel tool, with which I take them to my family's kingdom. Once there, I warned the people about the news of the mission, and said that our relatives were now resting in peace in Álfheim. After that, I passed another mission to my brother, he would have to take care of the kingdom for a while, just until I return from the next trip, I will take off the head of the murderer who killed my relatives and fiance, she will pay for everything.
2 days have passed since then, I was ready to meet that demon. I use the three-dimensional travel device and reach the walls of humans. I investigated for a few and found the killer, but I couldn't do that with so many humans around, so I waited.
I heard a conversation of that blonde girl with a girl with purple hair, they commented on a train trip in 2 days, I went out and tried to know which train they were talking about, I asked some human people what a train was (yeah of course, I was disguised so they wouldn't see me, wearing black punch, mask and hood) they laughed at me for the question, but a human with an aged appearance told me and took me to where the "train" was. The "train" was apparently guided by tracks and had only two tracks, one to carry and the other to bring people. I look at the old man who helped me, I shake his hand and say:
Maidel - thank you very much. You are a very wise man. You must have had a lot of adventures in those of yours ... Are you a thousand or two thousand years old?
Old man - huh? I ... I have an umbrella ...!
I laugh briefly and hug him in thanks. So I followed the trail that followed the forest, then I planned an ambush, I waited two days for that demon's train to pass, it was early in the morning, when I hear a sound coming from the tracks in the distance, I take my bow and arrow, I feel them in the your weight and magic flow in my hands.
I walk towards the tracks, as soon as I see the train, I point to the bow the train was coming from, I admit, I was a little nervous, I didn't know the size of the impact that the bow shot would make and I only have an arrow, I will destroy the train with just one shot, that's it.
The train appears at high speed, I shoot, a huge wave of magical power covers the entire train and then disappears, leaving only the train's frame coming towards me at reduced speed.
I must have killed dozens of people in this attack, but I feel like it's not over yet, but that had to be done if I want that demon not to survive. However… I feel like it's not over yet
To be continued…
