Kapitel 8: Chapter 8 : The elvish Palace
"I'm where?" I quickly responded in shock. How did I get into the elven continent?
I must have teleported, but teleportations over that distance are impossible!
The young elvish girl looked at me with an interested face and asked: "Why did you fall out of the sky?".
so I asked if she could explain what she saw, so she explained again about the purple/white sphere and the light pillar.
I apparently fell out of the sky, but the last thing I remembered is fainting in front of the S-class beast. Did the beast bring me to the continent? No, the beast can't teleport me.
Did a mage teleport me? That must have been a mage much stronger than the ones we have and the ones I've read about.
After staring at me for a minute while I was thinking she introduced herself: "Hey, I am Ivy."
I of course was raised with manners and thus responded: "Hello, I am Egidius."
"Is that a popular name among humans, I've never heard of someone named Egidius?" she answered.
"I do not believe it is, my parents must have felt the need to be a little more original," I responded.
She kept asking me questions, a lot about the light pillar incident, questions to which I myself didn't have answers.
until the doors flew open and a man with a majestic aura walked into the room with alongside him his wife and what I presume is his advisor or grandfather. They waved to the elvish girl next to my bed with a smile and asked her and the nurse to leave the room.
Then he walked to my bed and he introduced himself as the king of the elves. unlike the humans, whom had wars amongst themselves, the whole elf continent is under one king, From what I've read, the elves really like him, he is, of course, a descendent of a long lineage of elves going back to the beast wars. the people behind him introduced themselves as the queen and the former king.
They also started asking me questions about the whole light pillar excedent, I played it cool and told them I could tell them anything due to confidential information, but the king just laughed it off and assumed I didn't know, probably because I am not even six years old.
After the light pillar questions, he asked some questions I hoped he didn't know he should ask. amongst them "How can a not even six-year-old boy have awakened?"
Lying to the king of a whole continent doesn't seem too smart so I said: "I am a supergenius who has been thought to meditate from the age of 1 year old. This information however is highly confidential and therefore can not leave this room under any circumstances."
they were, as everyone would be, astonished. they asked some more questions, so I explained that for some reason I was born with someone else's knowledge passed on to me after training hard every single day for five years, I awakened a few days ago.
Then they asked why I have such a strong mana core if I awakened a few days ago.
I explained the non-linear awakening border and so on. After answering some questions they finally stopped asking and started pondering. I felt like a teacher who just finished a lecture.
Then out of nowhere, the former king says: "Are you the prophesized hero then, the one who will bring change to the earth seas, and skies."
I was flabbergasted, I read the tale, It's just a story about some genius revolutionizing the world. It is kind of vague like most prophesies, that way it fits a lot of people if in the future someone would bring a lot of change people would automatically say: "Oh, that's the prophesized hero!", but that is just because it fits a large context. I never did think of myself being the hero, but you never know, I do plan on revolutionizing magic theory so maybe.
So I just answered: "How the hell should I know that."
The king told the others that they had to attend a meeting.
and before the king left I said: "Make sure to keep all this information to yourself."
to which he jokingly returned: "Who are you to tell the king what to do."
and I jokingly said back: "Well, maybe your hero!".
After the king and his entourage had left the girl came back into the room, the nurse didn't, since there was no one to take care of, as we were both healed.
the girl asked me what we talked about, curious as ever. I said I had to simply answer some questions. She responded a little annoyed: " why did you give him answers and not me"
I apparently had to explain why I answered to the king of the elvish continent, but not to some random elvish ten-year-old who slept on the bed next to me.
I asked her:" Why did the king of elves smile and wave to you, is he just a nice king, whose nice to all the workers or are you family?"
She responded:" He is a very nice king."
I also asked why she was in the palace medical wing, to which she responded: " I live in the palace whilst training under the old king."
she continued to explain that the old king is the father of the current king and that he is one of the strongest elvish warriors even with his age.
after getting to know each other a bit she asked: " I am very familiar with the palace, do you want a tour?".
I didn't a training warrior was just allowed to walk around the castle on her own, but I obviously accepted, this is a ones in a lifetime opportunity. I have read about the great elvish architects who work on the palace so to see it in person is awesome.
All the guards around the palace greeted Ivy with respect whilst walking through the castle, She must really be an amazing fighter even if she hasn't awakened yet, I know from experience you can come very far without mana and with just martial arts.
While walking around I asked about what martial arts she knows. she really must be a hard-working warrior because she has already mastered eight martial arts of course I know more, but I've been training for about my whole life. she also told me she spends most of her time meditating and that she believes that if she keeps this up she'll awaken at the age of eleven.
this is unheard of, she is going to set the new awakening record, for normal cases, I'm willing to put myself up as an anomaly. But you never know maybe she's an anomaly too.
she was talking about how good my elvish is, though it isn't fluent it isn't bad, her human tongue is amazing, she might be better than me. Maybe she had to learn that too, if you live in the palace your life probably becomes a little more aristocratic, so she probably has to learn human and dwarven tongues. she has beaten me in the linguistic department, so that's a win for her.
After walking around the palace for an hour, admiring the architecture whilst talking to her.
We reached the throne/ council room. I told her we probably shouldn't go in there or we might get in trouble, but before I could finish my sentence she kicked open the door with her right foot, the door flew open and the council was in the middle of their meeting and they looked at the door. I didn't know what to do, I was confused. Why didn't the guards at the door stop her?!
Then my jaw dropped when the king stood up with a big grin yelling: " Well thank you, honey, I really needed a break!" the king addressed the council members telling them it is time for a break and to eat something. Then he walked up to Ivy with the queen's arms crossed in his and started chatting. My mouth opened further when the king and queen hugged her and kissed her on the cheek, Ivy blushed a little because of the shame. Is this some sort of elvish tradition or something? Ivy beckoned me to walk to them laughing a little when looking at my face. She explained to the king and queen that she finished giving me a tour of the palace. The king looking at my face asked why my face looked like that, I responded that I found it weird she kick the door open and that he hugged her, but shrugged it off with a:" I'm just not used to your traditions.". The king started laughing, and the confused look on my face grew some more. Then the queen, her arms still locked with the king, responded: "Didn't Ivy tell you she's our daughter". I thought about it, and now everything made sense she's the princess. I then spend some time explaining to Ivy what "lying in omission" is. Then the king started talking to me he asked if I wanted to stay, and he also told me that he told the council about my situation. he looked at my face and said: "Well kid, the council would think it to be weird that a powerhouse four-year-old is found with my daughter."
I corrected him saying I'm almost six, but it doesn't help, I guess I understand his choice to tell them. He again asked me if I wanted to stay and train under his father, one of the strongest warriors in all the continents. I tried explaining that I have parents to get back to who do not know I have awakened. He kept urging me to stay. I can understand, If I really were to be the prophesized hero to be raised by the elvish king would be very good for their empire. After haggling I made a deal he would bring my parents here to assure them of safety and financial freedom, I also get unrestricted permission to the royal library, A lot of training resources, and one of the three relic pendants to hide my mana signature. The elvish kingdom has two of the three in their royal treasury, to lend me this is very risky for them. I explained I was planning on recreating them so if I succeeded they would get it back, he just laughed it off and patted me on the back. The biggest disadvantage is I have to break the news to my parents, I have to inform them tomorrow, I'll send them a letter delivered by a thunder hawk, this bird flies at an insanely high speed so they'll get the letter within an hour.
It will also help them believe it as these are rare birds tamed by very rich aristocratic elves. They only live on the Elvish continent. As librarians, I assume my parents know this
I spend the rest of the day and night thinking about that letter, It even messed with my night meditation. Then the sun rose again and I had to actually write the letter.
"
Dear Mom and Dad,
This is your son Egidius, I'm sorry for how I left home, with the letter on my bed.
I got into a little situation, I'm in the elven kingdom right now, yes I know, HOW?!
It is a long story, one I will explain but not over this letter, I live in the Elvish royal palace right now, and you too can live here, for free! With financial support! And raise me while I will be trained by the former elven king, I'll explain some more when you get here, The king will take care of a safe traveling troop so please go with them.
From you dearest son
Egidius
"
I send the letter using the thunder hawk and the king sent a troop to pick up my parents since they had a much longer road, they already left.
I spend the rest of the days waiting for them to arrive.
while waiting Ivy tried to cheer me up when I was stressed about my parent's reaction.
then she freaked out when we finally explained that I will be training under her grandfather because I'd already awakened. She locked herself in her room for a day until I told her I cheated and that her hard work wasn't for naught.
******************************************
the day came, my parents would finally arrive today. They hadn't responded to my letter, I took that as a bad sign.
after eating a little and talking a little with the former king about how my training is going to be I got the news my parents would arrive in half an hour. I hadn't started training yet because the former king wanted permission from my parents.
after waiting on the royal square for half an hour the coach carrying my parents and their luggage arrived. I stood up straight ready to take the beating, but when they stepped out of the coach they both hugged me tight. after a minute of hugging my mother loosened her grip and kissed me on the forehead. It looked like she was tying her shoes until she sprung up with her shoe in her hand and started beating me with it, crying and screaming while saying things like: "How could you leave me, my baby!" she then calmed down and cleaned her face and greeted the royals behind me as if nothing happened. my father picked me from the ground and laughed "How are you, you little rich brat!"
I responded that I am not rich, we only receive financial support.
He shrugged and greeted the royals as well. From the corner of my eye, I saw Ivy grinning at my ruffled hair and dirty face, to which I responded with a mature, tongue out of my mouth face. Still dreading the fact I have to explain everything to my parents I walked behind them into the castle. The king said: "Before we proceed to explain the future living situation, I'll give you and your son some private time to catch up in my office."
