Novel & Cerita Elder Princess Shroob

I’m not surprised they know my name. The female Elders are the Pixie, Banshee, and the Nymph. And the male Elders are the Elf and the Merman. All adorned in shimmering garments like none I’ve ever seen. Leaving us a bit breathless, I recollect myself, carrying Liam in my arms along my rise. This little one has a small golden crown on his head. I scoff, don’t tell me he’s been inserting himself into his noble role. “This place...” I begin, addressing the awaiting Elders. “...it’s so magical that it’s surreal – Like a fantasy world out of our dreams. To even dare dream I’m a descendant of this world...it’s still mind-boggling.”

They did get enough rest while they were there and the healers were very helpful, however, their experience at the temple pyramid and when the Orchid Queen commanded the plants to attack him remained with Eldion. “So, the Orchid Queen knew all along that you have the pearl,” said Casser as he held the long bamboo pole that helped him steer the raft over the flowing river. “That’s what Rolho said,” replied Mira. “Retta also explained that the very earth of Rokuhari is enchanted and magnified the Orchid Queen’s power. Within her realm, the Orchid Queen could sense the pearl and then had her pet lizard steal it from me.” “I guess that’s also why they have those giant plants that move like anima

Almost like- "Sera?" The Queen Mother called as she stood up, gazing at the female Elf beside Alaric in disbelief. Her lips trembled, tears welling in her eyes. "It can't be…Sera, is that really you?" The female Elf, draped in plain flowing black robes, let her long, bone-straight silver hair cascade over her shoulders. Though she appeared to be in her early fifties, her vibrant grey eyes sparkled with life and wisdom. She gazed upon the Queen Mother, her features softening as she opened her arms, wearing a gentle smile. "It's been a while, little sis."

Her smile, laced with blood, looked haunting. A Haunt swept in, scattering the cash and gold bars from the car. Sparks flew, and the flames roared to life with a loud whoosh. I pulled a gold bar from my pocket. "Hear me, infant spirits, it's time for our final showdown!" The winds howled as I watched my mom wail in despair. Her tears were for her wealth, not a shred of worry for me. I spun around and plunged into the swirling darkness without a second thought.

Rhobart nicked his skin, a few drops of blood ran down his neck. “Don’t release more arrows!” the Elf yelled, lowering his bow. Two more Elves jumped from the trees—a female and a male, both blondes—landing close to Kerra before moving closer to Rhobart and Ayla. The male had a sword in his right hand, while the female had a whip on her left hip and a short sword on the right one. “She looks identical to you, Taeral,” the female said. “Except for her ears, which are human.” She sniffed the air. “But she is only part human.”

She caught the First Shadow’s blade with her bare hands. "Who... who are you?" the First Shadow gasped. The girl looked at him with eyes that were a perfect, terrifying mirror of mine—except they weren't amber or violet. They were **Static**. "I am the **Un-Used Version**," the girl said, her voice sounding like a hundred skipping CDs. "I am the Elara who never saw the Reapers. And I don't like what you've done with my house." With a strength that made even Silas’s new form look weak, the "Prom-Dress" Elara snapped the First Shadow’s blade in half.

“So - when I touched that witch… I destroyed her body.” “Yes.” “But apparently I did not destroy all of her. Because I also accidentally freed her shadow.” “Mmhmm.” “And her shadow,” I continued, raising a brow, “is now somehow stuck to me.” “Correct.” “And she works for a twisted death goddess called the Hollow Mother who - what?- wants me for reasons we haven’t figured out yet?” Elara nodded calmly, as if I’d just recited a grocery list. I threw up a hand. “Oh, and let’s not forget: she’s also pissed because Alderic and Varrick screwed her over, and somehow I’m the consolation prize.”

“You feel that?” Elara stood, her eyes narrowing as she clutched the orb. “It’s not over. Something’s stirring.” Before anyone could respond, a gust of wind whipped across the ruins, carrying an eerie, keening wail. The air thickened, charged with a presence that prickled their skin. From the debris rose wisps of shadow—not the Hollow One they’d banished, but something older, more fragmented. The shapes coalesced into faint, humanoid forms, their edges flickering like dying flames.

Just as I’m about to bring it down, Erlik turns around, grabbing my other wrist and throwing me ten feet away. He looks back at Creed, an evil smirk on his face as he begins to pummel him again. I try to get up again, but my body is protesting, not used to this many brutal attacks. Just as I’m about to close my eyes, a dark, ear piercing scream echoes across the battlefield. I look in the direction and see Lily coming our way. She’s covered completely in purple flames. Even her eyes are glowing purple. She doesn’t look pregnant anymore either. Erlik stops beating on Creed to see what is happening, when a massive purple fire ball sends him flying backwards.

The one that clearly screamed, ‘You don’t belong here. Instead, they were all… smiling at me. I blinked hard at every smile that was thrown my way, even looking behind me to check if there was a person behind me that they were smiling at at least three times. There was no one. “I heard you were the one who found the Shadowscale Serpent and succeeded in getting tears.” I stopped at the voice coming from behind me, turning to see an elderly man who I was guessing to be Elder Elara. Every strand of hair on his head was silver,
