Book 2 C 18 The Woman.

“Quick, someone get a Doctor!” I yell to everyone, as I rush to the woman now laying on the floor unconscious.

I check her for a pulse to make sure she is alive, then gently lift her up and begin to rush to the infirmary. 2 Doctors intercept me and we lay her down on the spot and they begin heals on her. Once the wounds have all closed I gently pick her up again, flanked by both Doctors we head for the infirmary.

There I see Doc Snow, as he has a bed prepped for her. I lay her down carefully and gently onto the bed, then a nurse gently grabs my arm and pulls me away “we will take it from here and let you know when she wakes” the female nurse says to me.

I leave the infirmary wondering who she is and how she got her, especially thru the barrier using magic. A mystery that we need to solve fast if that can happen again and someone has bad intentions.

I make my way to Rick and see how the progress is going with the new arrivals.

It seems all has already finished up and Rick is talking with Patterson, Foutz and Cortez, Johnson and Jackson are close by.

“Rick, you already done with the new Arrivals?” I ask him

"We are, the new questionnaire by Doc Mayes is pretty amazing, lots of trick questions in there to cause you to open up your true intentions in it. Got four of them fast too. Bastards thought they could just walk in here and get rich fast. Not to mention your death was on their agenda as well.” He says Grimly

“Why do people always want to resort to murder?” I ask with a sigh.

“With you out of the way, there would be a power vacuum and lots of chaos, opening a window of opportunity is what they thought.” Rick says shaking his head.”They had it all planned out too, reading their minds was like looking a step by step instruction guide on how to assassinate a leader and get rich”.

“Ok, even tho we kicked them out, we need to make sure they stay out.” I say to him.

“Oh about that, umm, well........Patterson asked them where they wanted to be let off, and they said East...” Rick now stumbles over his words.

“No! Really? He didn't.........did he?” I ask dumbfounded

Rick simply nods his head.

Patterson then speaks, his face looking serious,” they had really mean looking aura's about them, it seemed almost evil like, I really did not like those guys.”

“Patterson you can be devious too once in awhile you know?” I say to him, I see him now in a different light.

“I simply did what they asked” is all Patterson says.

I look to Rick and ask, ”Think they can survive the Devil Hounds?”

Rick shakes his head again,” I really doubt it, those guys were at best in their 20's in level.”

I sigh and stare at Patterson as he walks away, a smile on his face.

“Hey wait a second he said evil aura's?” I ask now registering his words in my mind.

“Surprised me too, he can read a person's intent, by their aura, a Deputy skill he said he got.” Rick says to me.

“Oh hell yes, have him at the meeting tonight then too, I want him next to me with Ki'Diera.” I say with a happy expression.

“Consider it already done. Told him so a while ago” Rick says smiling now.

“Scott she is awake” someone yells from the doorway of the Keep.

“Eh? who is awake?”Rick asks now confused.

“Oh, right, some woman appeared in the cafeteria from thin air, badly wounded and unconscious” I say to him, now moving quickly back to the keep, Rick is walking with me, he does not ask more.

We get to the infirmary and enter and I hear her begging,” please you have to help us, we are being slaughtered out there.” her voice is frantic and panic'ed.

I move to her and see her now, she has Blonde hair, very long, her eyes are violet, they could take your breath away, but for now she has panic in her eyes. Her features are beautiful almost sculpted and her skin is ivory looking, then I see her ears, they are long and slender, and pointed. Elf?

“I am Scott, I am in charge here,” I say to her as her eyes quickly look to me.

“Please help us, the Giants are everywhere and killing my people.” She pleads tears flowing from her eyes. Her tears sparkle as they fall.

“Tell me what is going and we will see if we can help you.” I say to her calmly and with softer voice trying to relax her.

“My people are in the forests to the North West of here, a days journey by portal magic. A few days ago, the Giants came and then began to attack us, at first we held, but their numbers are so great they overwhelmed us, many of my people have died and we have been fleeing since. I ran ahead to seek aid, if such can be found and came across this settlement, I saw your walls and climbed over them, then saw the Keep and portal'ed inside.” She says hurriedly.

“You speak our language?” I ask.

“Yes a few of your people were found by our Hunters and brought them back to us where were learned of this world and all that has happened, as we are new to it. So learning of our new surroundings was our first mission. It took a few weeks to understand and comprehend your language, but it proved easier once we understood the basics of the language.” she says to me calming down and relaxing a bit. ” Will you help us please” she asks as the fear returns suddenly.

“We do not posses portal magic, so I am not sure of the distance you speak of.” I say to her.

She thinks for a moment then says, ”It would be four days on foot then. Maybe less as my people are moving this way.”

“These Giants, your people killed some of them?” I ask her.

She nods quickly “yes their skin is hard, but our blades are keen and cut deep. It takes several of our Hunters to take one down, but we did.” She says. She then looks to her side as if to grab something then looks about and sees her dagger on a table nearby. “There is a blade of our craftsmanship, it can cut the Giants.” she points.

I look and see a beautifully crafted dagger, pure silver from the looks of it and go to inspect it.

ITEM!Elven Dagger +3 enchantment

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Base damage 110 – 165 X3 damage

Wow this is a nice dagger! X3 damage multiplier? They can make this, all the possibilities that come to mind, wow!

Oh that is nice Scott, who made that?

The Elves

Elves?

Did you say Elves? I am on my way! I have got to see this!

Elves? I know of no such creature

Not Creature, people like you and me, another race, my princess.

You seem aroused my warrior, is it because of the dagger or perhaps this Elves?

Umm she is quite beautiful, it was a natural instinct.....look but don't touch right?

Sigh

Julie comes tearing into the infirmary” where is the Elf?” She demands and several point to the bed. “Oh my she is gorgeous, and those ears !!” Julie cries out in delight.

“Her people need our help.” I say to Julie, amazed at her reaction.

“Scott we need to help them then!!” Julie says pleading right away.

“Of course sweetheart, I was already formulating a plan” I say to her smiling.

“Who is this? And you will help us?” The female Elf asks looking at Julie.” your hair! It is red like fire, it is beautiful” the Elf then remarks.

“You look pretty good too, there” Julie laughs,” I am Julie, Scott's wife” Julie says before I can say a word taking over the conversation.”and of course we will help you and your people, you are Elves!” She laughs in delight and make small claps.

Cindy now enters,” so what caused this arousal of yours?” Cindy demands loudly.

“Cindy? Really?” I cry out in embarrassment.

“And who is this?” Asks the female Elf once more hearing Cindy's outburst.

“Oh that is Cindy, Scott's other wife” Julie says as if it were nothing.

“Other wife? Two Wives?” The elf asks now with a look of disbelief

“No he has.....” Julie begins but then Ki'Diera enters.

“My Warrior you have three wives, can you really not control that lust of yours?” Ki'Diera says in an annoyed tone.

“I did not do anything my Princess, believe me, I only looked at her!” I defend myself to her.

Before the Elf can ask “And that is his third Wife Ki'Diera” Julie explains.

“She has a tail and feline ears!” The Female Elf says in surprise and disbelief.

“Yes she is one of the Ny'Har'en” Julie says again as if it were nothing.

The Female Elf looks at everyone in the room, then slowly smiles and lays back in bed, a tear once again drops from her eye and whispers softly, “I think we have found our new home” then she drifts off to sleep once more.

I motion the girls and Doc Snow outside.”Doc is she going to be ok?”

“She is healed, she just needs rest now, it seems she is also exhausted, her mana pool was almost depleted from what I could see. She pushed herself really hard.” Doc Snow says explaining her condition.

“Scott you are not getting a fourth wife, got it? So wipe that thought from your mind!” Cindy says accusingly.

“I never thought about that Honey!” I say in surprise by her outburst.

“Well your other head is!” She says and looks down at my crotch area.

"Dammit that is a natural reaction honey, I can't help it, somehow that Elf has some kind of attraction” I say defensively.

“To be honest Cindy, all the males in there are aroused by her. We noticed that right away when we started to examine her, she has some kind of effect on males” Doc Snow says slightly embarrassed.

“Is that going to be a problem for our men here?” Asks Julie now concerned.

“I really do not know, but if her attraction is that strong after a few minutes of exposure, I am not sure what long term could do to a man” he says uncertain.” for now I will have the Female Doctors and nurses tend to her and we study it later when she is awake and have time.”

“We need to find out soon Doc, if we are to save and bring her people here, we really do not need or want more problems.” I say to him and he nods.

“What does that mean, you want to abandon her people if they become an inconvenience to us?” Asks Julie.

“No sweetheart, I would rather avoid the problem and isolate them for a while somewhere and avoid contact with our people to prevent those problems.” I say to Julie.

“Julie you really should look in Scott's mind for the answers before you ask, it is all already there” Ki'Diera says.

“I ... I forgot I can do that, sigh” Julie answers.

“Ok let me get a strike force together so we can be ready, when she wakes up, you three are coming with me, we might get to, no scratch that, we will test the one ability and see it in action.” I say to them and they all smile and nod in agreement.

“We are going to need to take some of the Ny'Har'en and Supers.” I say thinking out loud,” and I want a team of Area barrier healers too.” Then I look to Cindy “ And your....”

“I will get right on it, 6 of my apprentices are ready, plus we can take the Barrier specialist and Lightning Mages too,” She says running off.

“This almost sounds like a major offensive Scott” Doc Snow says.

“Yes Doc, we are going to take the fight to the creatures now.” I say to him with a smile.
