Chapter 64: The Elf’s Plea
>>Amber
The sound of burning and the orange glow made me look up.
Hael had already summoned a fireball. I could feel the heat of it even though it was far from me. I couldn’t look at it directly, so I looked at the elf again.
I feel like Hael’s being a bit dramatic here, isn’t he?
I don’t sense any hostility from her, why summon a destructive fire ball?
"Please!" She raised her hands in the air, "I come in peace," She could sense the danger she was in as well, "My name is Lilia!" She stated, "I only want to ask the saint for her help!"
"State your purpose," Hael ordered sternly. He seemed angry, so I chose not to speak between them.
"I’m only here because we need the power of the saint!" She said, "The miasma has spread all the way to the forest of elves!"
"And?" Hael was not amused.
She chose to be wise and state everything in one go, "We elves are strong and possess the power of light but elves do not have holy powers like humans do. We tried to fight the miasma, but many of our brethren were consumed by it, turning into dark elves." She gulped, "We need the saint to help purify them."
The next moment the big ball of fire looming over our head was gone. I let out a sigh of relief as the cool air came back.
