Chapter 6 - The eleven race!

[Aria, wake up and run away!] Pluto yelled, but to no avail, Aria was sleeping and didn’t even react to his loud roar. “Why isn’t she even reacting? This is weird” Pluto was starting to get worried, on one side, there might be an enemy behind him, on the other side, Aria wouldn’t wake up. Could she be poisoned? [Wait, you person behind me! Let’s make a deal!] At that time when Pluto frustratedly spoke out, the footsteps stopped. Pluto continued [You should have used a poison or any other method to make the female in front of me sleep. So, you should have something you want. We don’t have any things on us beside our clothes, so we can’t give you food nor money because we have none! If you have had thoughts of kidnapping, killing, torturing or use us as slaves, take me! Don’t take the female, I’m willing to do anything!] Pluto roared out the last sentence before everything turned quiet.

[Tap tap tap tap] Quick footsteps came from behind, “Seems like I can’t do anything” Pluto dejectedly looked down, he was sad that he couldn’t do anything else. Pluto felt something stuck on his neck and his eyes turned black and he lost his conscious.

Behind Pluto was a female, she had long blond hair which went down to her waist. She was tall and beautiful, her eyes were light green and she had pointy ears. The female spoke in a low voice [I’m not sure what to do with those two, I’ll bring them back and let the elders decide] then she looked at the male youth in front of her and spoke [And, what was with that person?] she glanced at the female sleeping on the ground [Are they related? Is he really willing to do anything for her?] The elven female was speaking to herself in a low voice while finally decided to take them back with her to the village. She picked up Aria and Pluto on each of her shoulders and looked down at the wheelchair, she remembered that the male couldn’t move. After a while, she managed to lift both humans and the wheelchair, she looked towards the forest and directly jumped off the mountain which had an altitude of 150 meters.

The elven female gracefully landed on top of a tree then kicked off and ran without showing a hint of tiredness. It took her an hour before she came back to the village. She didn’t look at any people who was outside playing and doing their business, she walked towards the giant tree in the middle of the village. There were children and other people glancing at the two humans on her shoulders and the wheelchair, but they didn’t say anything and continued what they were doing.

The elven female went to the big house which was in front of the giant tree and knocked on it with her feet [I’m coming, wait a second] an elder voice was heard inside the house [Creak] the door opened and an elder female came out of the house [Hello dear] before she continued talking she looked at the two humans on her daughter’s shoulder [Why did you bring those two humans here?] [Let me tell you what I saw, then you will know why I brought them here] [Alright Shi’Ka, come inside first, then tell me what happened] the elven female named Shi’Ka nodded her head and went inside the house, she first went upstairs and laid down both humans in their own room, she also put the wheelchair in the male’s room before she went downstairs. [Now Shi’Ka, would you mind telling me what happened?] Shi’Ka nodded to her mother.

[When I was tracking the footsteps of the beast, I got on the Cliff Lia to scout ahead, but when I was scouting, those two humans got out of a cave. I hid myself to see what they were doing, but after they came out, both of them seemed glad and passed out. Around half an hour later…] Shi’Ka continued to tell her mother what they were doing and some of their talk, Shi’ka didn’t manage to hear everything they were saying but she did hear some. [The male seems like he can’t move by himself and is depended on the female to carry him and move him with a wheelchair…] Shi’Ka talked about the time when they were walking down the mountain [when they were resting, I wanted to get closer and stepped on a branch, which made the male figure out someone was following them.] Shi’Ka took a breath before she continued [The male tried waking the female up by telling her to escape] [He tried waking her up to escape?] Shi’Ka’s mother got a little confused and asked her daughter [Yes, the male wanted the female to escape, but she didn’t wake up. In the end, the male thought I the enemy might have planned this and spoke that they didn’t have anything on themselves and if I still wanted to do something, he offered himself and said to let the female go.] Shi’Ka said those words slowly at the end as she wanted her mother to understand this. [So, this male is depended on the female, but he wants the best for her? Even if he has to sacrifice himself] [Yes, I think that’s right] Shi’Ka nodded and asked [I don’t know what to do, they don’t seem to be mean humans like those we have met.] Shi’Ka’s mother nodded and said [They sure are different from those we have seen, let’s wait till they have woken up and we can talk. Good job Shi’Ka] She stood up and caressed her daughter’s face before walking out of the house [I will get some things ready, just stay here till they wake up] Shi’Ka nodded and went upstairs again.

“Oh really? Why does this happen like every single day lately?” Pluto’s head was hurting when he managed to wake up. He woke up in an unfamiliar place, what was above him was a wooden roof. “So, this should be where they brought me. I hope Aria is fine. I hope nothing happened to her” Pluto hoped for the best, but prepared for the worst. He wanted to find any clues he could and think of any way he could get their situation on a better path “Are they bandits? Knights?” Pluto carefully tried thinking of any possibility he could before he heard the door open up [Creak]. Pluto tried his best to move his head to the left, but couldn’t and ended up not seeing the person who entered. [You’re awake] Pluto heard a beautiful female voice, but he didn’t rest because of this [Yes, I’m up. Can you tell me where I am? What happened to the female who was with me before I got dragged here?] Pluto answered her and asked in return. [Before we start talking, do you want me to help you up?]

After being helped up, he was sitting on his wheelchair again. What was in front of Pluto was a female, she had white skin, blond hair which went to her waist, slim waist, green eyes, pointy ears and wearing a blue dress. [Now answering your previous questions, you’re currently in the village of Alt’hean, and the human female which was with you was also brought here] Shi’Ka answered Pluto while looking at his face turn a little worse [What are you going to do with us? Didn’t I say that I will do anything if you didn’t hurt Aria?!] Pluto started to get angry, he can’t do anything, and it won’t help him either because he can’t beat them either, but he still got angry. [We won’t hurt you two, you don’t have to get angry at us] [Then, what are you going to do with us?] Pluto asked in return without delay. [I don’t know either, my mother the elder of this village will talk with both of you] Shi’Ka answered and looked at Pluto again before asking [What’s your name?] Pluto looked at the female in front of her then said [My name is Pluto, the female which was with me is called Aria]. Shi’Ka nodded and went outside of the room, but before she could get outside a roaring sound came from Pluto’s stomach.

[Are you hungry?] Shi’Ka remembered what they were talking about a little and asked again [Has it been long since you ate something?] Pluto nodded his head and said [It has been a while, yes] Shi’Ka questioned Pluto again [Then, why didn’t you tell me?] Pluto looked at her eyes at squinted his eyes before he spoke [Even after everything, you kidnapped us. Don’t think I will trust you guys that easily] Pluto’s voice started to get cold while he spoke those words. Shi’Ka sighed and said [That’s true, no matter what, I did kidnap both of you. I will be getting some food ready right now] Shi’Ka went outside the room and walked downstairs to prepare something for Pluto to eat. “Even if he can’t move, he did have an astonishing aura around him when he got serious back there” Shi’Ka thought for herself while walking.

[Oh! I’m tired, I need to start being nicer to others as Aria told me earlier, haha] Pluto laughed silly for himself while thinking he might have gone too far. Pluto closed his eyes and started to think about their situation. Those who kidnapped them doesn’t seem to be bad people, but he still need to be careful.

[Knock knock] There was two knocks on the door before Shi’Ka entered the room again with a plate of cooked meat on it. [I have brought some food] Pluto looked at the dish, it looked great, he wanted to grab it and devour everything! Shi’Ka placed the plate on Pluto’s leg and looked at him, after a few seconds when Pluto didn’t eat the food, Shi’Ka asked [Don’t you like meat?] Pluto looked at her before sighing and told her [I do like meat] Shi’Ka turned confused and asked [Then, why don’t you eat?] Pluto looked at her then himself and back at her [Because I can’t move. I can’t eat with my own hands] Shi’Ka seriously looked at Pluto for a few seconds then asked [You can’t move any part of your body, can you?] [I can move a little, but not much. I can move my head a little, but it’s easier to nod than to shake my head] Shi’Ka looked at Pluto without knowing what to do. Pluto saw the confused look in the female in front of him and said [If you don’t know what to do, could you bring Aria here? She’s usually the one who feeds me]

[Do you want me to bring the female Aria here?] [I can’t eat by myself, and it seems like you don’t know what to do. I can’t just ask you to feed me.] Pluto told her his thoughts and looked at the female again and spoke [Besides, what’s your name? You know mine and Aria’s name] [Shi’Ka] Shi’Ka spoke without thinking twice and she was thinking of something Pluto said earlier [So, if I feed you, it’s alright?] Pluto looked at Shi’Ka and gratefully answered [That would be helpful]

Shi’Ka picked up the meat with a wooden spoon and picked up what she could and lifted it up to Pluto’s face. Pluto opened his mouth like nothing was bothering him, he only wanted to eat something. The spoon went inside his mouth and he the meat melted on his tongue, it was delicious! [So good!] Pluto’s eyes were shining as he looked at the plate of meat, he gulped and stared at Shi’Ka. Shi’Ka nodded and used the spoon and fed Pluto everything on the plate. [It was great, it was wonderful, thanks for helping me eat the meal] Pluto thanked Shi’Ka for helping him [It’s the least thing I can do] Shi’Ka nodded and placed the plate on the table. [You humans do eat a lot] [Us humans? Aren’t you human too?] Shi’Ka strangely looked at Pluto before asking [Are you joking with me right now?] Pluto looked seriously at Shi’Ka before saying [No, I’m not joking. You look like a human] Shi’Ka pointed to her ears and said [I’m an elf, elves normally have blond hair, pointy ears and green eyes.] “Elf?! Sounds interesting” Pluto nodded and spoke [Then I’m sorry for thinking you were a human] [You really didn’t know I was an elf?] [No I didn’t until you pointed those things out, I have never heard or seen elves before] [Never heard or seen about us?] Shi’Ka gasped because the elven race and the human race was currently at a war against eachother right now. How could there be humans not knowing the elven race? Shi’Ka shook her head and looked out of the window [The sun is going down; my mother will be coming back soon. I’ll wake Aria up and bring both of you downstairs to talk with my mother.
