Lady Saelther didn't speak for the few moments that she held Aelanor to her bosom; tears wouldn't stop as easily as she held on to her daughter for the longest time. She reluctantly let go.

"Be safe, my children," she whispered. "I will be praying to the Elements to watch over you. Please, take care of yourselves."

"We will, Aunt. You take care of yourself, and give our regards to Lord Daylor when he comes back."

Nimuel couldn't speak, but she smiled through her tears at her Mother, who kissed her forehead before letting go.

"Farewell, children."

"Farewell, Lady Saelther."

As they stepped out of the manor, they saw Khoral and Nexus waiting for them by the gates. Nimuel stood beside Nexus as she stroked his golden mane in contemplation.

"We should get a move on, cousin. We are not helping anyone by delaying the inevitable," Aelanor urged.

Nimuel jumped on her horse without a single word, and pulled the reigns, and Aelano

  • The Elven Princess   Kael

    Lamusha took a lot of time studying the purchases. Her hands were strong but deft, while handling the fragile-looking wires which supposedly, were very sturdy than they looked."We seem to have everything we need. Kael should have half-built the machine by now. Let's go." Lamusha said."Who is Kael?" Aelanor asked."A blend of philosophy and science- Kael, our inventor," Vorga tells her."Right, but don't be too impressed. He is an inventor whose half-completed inventions lie around him like junk," Lamusha rolled her eyes as she made her way through the pile of broken masts around her forge. Swiftly pulling herself to a rope to hoist herself to the higher level of boat-rooms, she said, "I have to tell you, although I admire this man's brilliant mind, he really needs to temper his spirit. He never finishes his works, and this time-", she pushes open a door to the hiss of machines and furnaces,- "you better finish this, old man!"An older orc was bent near the furnace, his hand holding

  • The Elven Princess   The Generals

    The bustle of the market was high enough to conceal two creatures trying not to draw attention. As far as they could see, no enemies lurked behind the silver silks or the mango carts in the shadows. Even if they did, they wouldn't have recognised the two creatures resembling thousands around them.The purchase of vitals took a surprisingly short time. The shopkeepers were helpful, and familiar with their stock. Soon, they had all their heavy purchases stuffed inside a small bag, a thing bigger on the inside."I never knew the elven kingdom had such technology," Vorga marvelled, looking at the bag. "How is it even possible?""Magick," Aelanor answered curtly, a little disappointed that they had to rely on the naturally occurring magick whereas the other creatures had the ability to wield magick out of ordinary day to day life. Vorga seemed to notice her disappointment."What's wrong?" she asked."Nothing, it's just..." Aelanor sighed, "Elves have the advantage of using magick in ways u

  • The Elven Princess   The Perfect Disguise

    Vorga's room was small and cramped, with most of the wall panels hidden by large old-fashioned wardrobes and a small bookshelf. The she-orc opened the curtains to let lights flood the room. It looked forlorn, the wallpapers torn and spider webs in the corners, but the window let more sunlight in than the other rooms.As Vorga swung open the wardrobe doors, a burst of stale air wafted out, carrying the scent of old clothes and moths. The group peered inside, scanning the crowded racks and shelves, packed with a colorful array of clothes, accessories, and costumes."Are all these yours?" Aelanor wondered, looking at the bright coloured clothes and exquisite looking accessories. She couldn't imagine Vorga wearing any of those. They looked... too exuberant."Well, everyone goes through phases, don't they?" Vorga said, her eyes fixed on the pile of clothes, "Don't tell me that you always were this no-nonsense, serious all the time, no-fun loving elf that you are now."Aelanor's nose flared,

  • The Elven Princess   SparkForge- The Electric Workshop

    Over the next few days, the group joined Vorga to meet the residents in the Slimy Underground. Some of them showed a little resistance at first at having outside visitors for the very first time in years, but most were enthusiastic. Lamusha, a gray- skinned female orc with silver hair was fixing some wires on a futuristic-looking machine. Her mouth relaxed into a comfortable smile on seeing them approach."Ah, yes. The rogue monarchs on the quest to end the pestilence. What brings you people over to the SparkForge? Need electric fueled weapons for the war?" Lamusha asked."Does such a thing exist?" Pylaeius asked."Sure. Here, we use electricity just to power our internal operations, lights and power-generated cooling fans for example. But electricity, being the foe as well as friend, can be used to destroy as much as it can be used to help sustain life." Lamusha said."That sounds interesting," Aelanor said as she approached to look at the dials on the box-like thing from which variou

  • The Elven Princess   Endeavour

    The clip-clop of hooves had just receded when Vorga disappeared into the dark with her lit torch and groped around in the dark. Instantly, bright flames appeared, illuminating the insides of a large- what could only be called as a- mansion! As Vorga went ahead and lit the other torches around the ship, the group looked around, awestruck. Large chandeliers hung from the roof, covered with cobwebs and weed. Grand furniture laced the room, leather bound futon and chairs. Carpeted floors expelled dust and red moth eaten curtains were tied with golden clutches. The rooms smelled of mildew, of neglect, but it still had a grandeur unmatched. A large staircase opened up to an ornate picture frame, depicting a regal-looking female orc, resembling someone they knew."My mother," Vorga said shortly as she came up behind the group. "Let's walk up through here. There are enough rooms for all of you."Following the staircase that went both ways to reveal sleeping quarters, Vorga quickly pulled off

  • The Elven Princess   The Slimy Underground

    Vorga lead them through a narrow passageway that got narrower with every turn until they had to turn sideways to slip through them. The lack of air made them claustrophobic, and they couldn't see much, except for the faint light from the torch Vorga took when there were still lights. After the agonising three-fourth of an hour, they finally saw the orc bend down to work on something in the roof. A latch.A rope fell down and they climbed through the trapdoor above to a bustling area that looked exactly like the marketplace in the Golden Barrows. For a second, Aelanor considered the probability that the orc had tricked them into an ambush.But in contrast with the surroundings of the marketplace they had visited before, this one was very compact. There didn't seem to be an opening for a sea, or another civilisation nearby. The shops looked almost as if they were stacked on top of each other. Vorga continued to lead them through the cramped alleyways."This is the Generals, Princess, th
