Bab 56: Beraan Kingdom
Lumas was standing at the gate leading out of Oriaro surrounded by various elves talking amongst themselves, they were mainly crowding around due to Riveria's presence but they all kept their distance from Sebas, Susan, Ais, and himself. Behind Ais was Loki, who used Ais as an excuse to come she spent quite a while trying to convince Finn to let her go, she even had to use her 'trump card' saying 'Lumas will be there it will be Alllriiiiight'
Lefiya came sprinting from around the corner out of breath, seeing that everyone was still here she let out a sigh of relief, Lumas eyed her for a second narrowing his eyes at a bruise almost hidden by the collar of her jacket, knowing it wasn't for him to stick his nose in he turned his attention towards Ais who was currently nibbling at a warm meat bun with a smile, Lumas' expression softened as he raised his hand caressing Ais' cheek earning a glare in response
Throwing his hands up in mock surrender as a wry smile floated onto his face, Ais shuffled close lightly head butting his chest before returning to her focus meat bun as Lumas loosely wrapped his arms around her with a stupid smile smeared across his face, Susan was talking with Sebas and Riveria, it seems there was a few more people they were waiting on.
Loki sauntered around, not going too far from Ais so she could shoot 'hidden' glares towards Lumas from various angles. After getting bored attempting to annoy Lumas, Loki went off to find Susan to test her luck at getting a bottle. Skipping through the masses of Elves Loki hopped and landed in front of Susan "Susie~"
Susan let out a groan as a bottle fell into her hand, not even sparing Loki a glance Susan spoke "Riveria, I honestly don't know how you do it…"
Riveria let out a chuckle as she looked up towards Sebas who was seemingly mentally absent while his eyes never left Riveria "You get used to it" finishing with a smile Riveria lightly kissed the arm that was wrapped around her stirring Sebas back to reality "Hmm Love?"
At Sebas' curiosity she just rested her head against his chest as she spoke "It's nearly time to leave, there are 40 here already so we should have almost everyone…" lazily scanning the surroundings with her eyes
After a few more minutes Riveria yelled that there were heading out, everyone quickly grabbed their things forming a loose formation as they passed through the gates
=========================================
Around a table that vaguely resembled a large tree stump 4 elves with a slightly paled yellow complexion slightly comparable to Riveria's sat across from a group of men of varying ages, the youngest at the table held a degree of arrogance as his eyes violated the poor elf sitting across from him. Jade hair nearly reaching the floor of not for the small braids shorting it ever so slightly, her lazy jade eyes were barely opened as she spoke
"Why do we have to do this every time" releasing an exasperated sigh she continued "This has been Elven Land since the dungeon descended upon the world, but yet every 10 years you call us here to this meeting trying to negotiate the safe travel of the Elves simply wishing to return home…"
The oldest from the human side joined in "They pass through our kingdom, of course we would be concerned with their safety" the 'smile' on his face caused one of the elves to grind his teeth as he spat "Byrum, you dare…. Let's not forget when your 'kingdom' marched into the forest set on burning it all down to the ground"
Byrum instantly shot back "Wyn, you can't be talking about those insubordinate mercenaries right? We all know they would throw anyone under the executioner's blade… especially when your country has such… violent consequences for entering the 'forbidden' forest"
Wya nearly shot up to his feet but a hand landed on him stopping him in his tracks "Lady Soreen…", the elf with jade hair lost all sense of laziness as she sternly spoke "Byrum, if the Beraan Kingdom wishes to negotiate further then bring something to the table, as of currently the forest of Alf sees no reason to further this pointless escalation"
=========================================
After heading northeast from Oriaro for a whole day, the group finally made it to the foot of the mountains entering another kingdoms territory until they pass into the second mountain range, the Beraan Kingdom stole this land from a small settlement of wood elves nearly at the same time the Freycliff Kingdom fell leading to the enslavement of their race, from the stories Sebas had shared the wood elves were a race more similar to humans then Elves, they were a fairly peaceful existence opting out of the wars surrounding them.
The Wood Elf Race was a blessed one, they lived off of the mana present in the air and could manifest it on a whim, however due to this their physical features were affected by the mana, as they aged and their bodies were molded to perfection by the mana the more they were sought after by the dark side of the world. Inside the forest they were at their strongest but when the Beraan Kingdom trapped them within their home burning it to the ground their peaceful race had no resistance only able to put up a futile defense and hope for the best…
Lumas was currently surveying the surroundings, he had a bad feeling rising in his gut. It was either Sebas' cooking or something bad was going to happen, he let out a sigh "Why can't anything be simple…"
