A soldier entered the chamber, a modest but functional space where decisions were made."Mayor Hans, Sir". He said, standing at attention with a salute."What is it, Jake?". The mayor, a man in his mid-fifties, sat in a large wooden chair by the window, his gaze shifting from a document in front of him."Noah has a guest". Jake informed him."A guest?". Hans turned to face him fully, his interest piqued."Yes. Her face was hidden, but I'm fairly certain it's a woman. He took her to his home"."Noah took a woman home? That's a first". Hans chuckled, leaning back in his chair."I don’t think she’s a lover or anything like that, sir. Noah was acting... suspiciously". Jake said, his tone more serious.Hans rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Hmm. Interesting. Keep an eye on him"."As you wish". Jake replied before turning to leave.×××××××Noah began to explain everything to Luna about how he knows her father. "My father was attacked by the Felgroths in the Forests of Eldoria and your father
In the elven realm, the sun rose gently, casting a golden glow over the vast woodlands and the mystical habitats of the elves. The air was filled with the soft hum of nature awakening. Prince Elion stood in a grand hallway, his hands clasped behind his back, lost in thought. "I wish I was with you, Luna". He whispered softly to himself.A quiet cough behind him broke his reverie. Elion turned to see his father, King Thalion, approaching with steady steps."Father". Elion greeted, forcing a smile."Elion". Thalion said warmly, placing a firm hand on his son’s shoulder. "Is everything alright?"."By God's grace, yes". Elion replied, though his tone betrayed his unease."Still worried about Luna?". Thalion asked knowingly."A lot". Elion admitted. "She’s new to everything. She’s never stepped foot outside Luminara. She knows nothing of the world beyond".King Thalion smiled gently. "My son’s in love".Elion met his father’s eyes. "I can’t hide my feelings any longer. I can’t bear to stay
Luna stayed there, unconscious and the dead bodies of the Felgroths lied around her. A horse rider, who had seen her fight the Felgroth from a distance, came out of the shadows. He was dressed in a black cape clock, his face was hidden. One can only see his blue eyes. He looked around and ran his horse towards Luna. Dismounting, he shoved the dead bodies of the Felgroths away with his foot and made his way towards Luna. He took a detailed look at her beautiful, blood stained face. He looked at her gray clothes and hair and the sword that lied a few inches away. His eyes popped out when he realized that wasn't an ordinary sword. "Defender?". He said in his husky voice. Running to grab it, he was flabbergasted to know why she was gray. "Salvador Fireheart.. my name's Salvador Fireheart, son of Alastor Fireheart". He recalled someone's words. "You have to be her daughter, lady. I'm helping you for that sake". He said and lifted Luna up. ×××××××The rider carefully placed her on the hor
Elion had trained Luna to be a formidable fighter, and in just an elven month—equivalent to two lunar months—she had learned a great deal. Now, the time had come for her to continue her journey. As she meticulously packed her belongings, she tucked her sword and scroll under her robe. Just then, King Thalion entered the chamber, his hands clasped behind his back. Luna turned, surprised to see him."Your Majesty, is everything alright?". She asked."I came to bid you farewell on your journey". He replied with a warm smile. "There is a great responsibility on your shoulders, and I wish you the best of luck in fulfilling it"."Thank you so much, Your Majesty". Luna responded with a polite smile. "And thank you for being so hospitable and taking such good care of me during my stay"."It is our duty and our pleasure, my dear". King Thalion said kindly. "I'll leave you now to finish your packing". "Thank you". Luna nodded. With that, King Thalion turned and left the chamber, allowing Luna
Luna was awakened by the sound of birds chirping outside, in her balcony. She got up and rubbed her eyes. Just as she stood, the door opened after a gentle knock."You're awake, Miss Fireheart!". Daisy appeared from behind the door. "Good Morning". "Good Morning, Daisy". Luna smiled and tried to comb her hair with her fingers. "I wanted to let you know that the breakfast is ready, you should come and have it then we'll get you ready". She said. "Okay, let me wash my face". Luna said. "I'll be outside". Daisy responded with a grin and exited. ×××××××Daisy lead Luna to the meal room of the palace. She looked around, examining the walls and decor of the palace. An elf stood outside, mumbling something, looking up. As if he was casting a spell. "What is he doing?". Luna asked."He is appointed to cast away any kind of evil that surrounds the palace and the realm". Daisy told. "Wow, that's amazing". Luna commented and continued following Daisy. In the meal room, Luna had her brea
The streets were overflowing with elves grinning from ear to ear as they prepared for the celebration. "The fragrance you smell is from a flower named Luminebloom. It blooms once a year and holds significance both medically and socially. My great-great-grandfather was healed from a fatal Felgroth bite by drinking its extract. We celebrate its blooming every year by decorating the streets and having a feast at night". Prince Elion explained to Luna."That's fascinating". Luna nodded as they strolled through the vibrant streets. "I'm honored to be a part of it"."Did you tell your father before coming here?". Elion inquired."No". Luna shook her head, concealing the fact about the scroll and her father's directive to run away."Wouldn't he be curious?". Elion pressed gently."I couldn't risk him revealing my quest. No matter how kind he is, he's still a fallen angel". Luna confessed."You're loyal".Elion remarked with a smile."At least someone believes me". She replied."Of course, I
Luna was now in the medical wing of the palace. The doctor came out after checking her and bowed politely in front of the King and Elion. "Your Majesty". He said."What happened to her?". Thalion asked. The doctor looked up. "Our guest passed out because of the impact of passing the passage". Elion frowned. "How's that possible? We do that all the time". "We do it without any problems because we have Realmwalkers, your highness. Luna Fireheart is a half-fallen angel. She does not possess a Realmwalker". The doctor told."What!?". Elion was surprised. "I didn't knew that! Why is that so?". "Fallen Angels, when they turn away from God, are deprived off their Realmwalkers which they had as angels so they can't leave Abyssia. She's the daughter of a fallen angel so she is not given a Realmwalker by God". The doctor explained. "That's absurd!". Elion shook his head. "We can't question God's rules". The doctor replied. "The Quanta Passages destroy a person who tires to trespass it wi
As Luna made her way towards the passage leading to Eldoria, apprehension gripped her. The darkness of the passage loomed before her, an ominous gateway to the unknown. Pausing to ensure she was alone, Luna steadied her breathing, attempting to quell the rising fear within her."All right, Luna... it won't hurt that much. How painful can it be?". She murmured, her voice a whisper of reassurance to herself. Summoning her courage, she spoke words of resilience, determined to conquer her trepidation. "Let fear be the wind beneath my wings, and I shall soar above it, undefeated". She mumbled, her resolve firm as she stepped into the passage.In an instant, Luna was transported to the Elven Realm of Eldoria. Like everyone had told her the consequences of not having a Realmwalker, the abrupt transition had left her sprawling on the ground, her body pulsing with pain as if thousands of needles had pierced her flesh, draining her energy. Gasping for breath, Luna collapsed to her knees, overco
The next morning, Luna woke up by some noise from outside in the street. She got up and realized that it was the most comfortable sleep she had in years. The bed was very cozy and it felt like home. She smiled at the realization and got up to see what's going on outside. She threw the curtains open and saw all the fallen angels, working on the streets. They had decorated the streets in the most elegant and unique way possible. Theodore was roaming on the streets throwing orders. The carriages and carts delivered food and other stuff to the angels working in a distance. A gentle knock pulled Luna out of her thoughts. She turned around. "Come in". She permitted. The door opened, revealing her father's smiling face. "Good Morning". "Good Morning". Luna smiled back. Salvador entered the room. "You might be wondering what is all this hustle in the city...". "Yeah". She nodded. "Well, The Governor permitted to hold a feast to celebrate your arrival". He told. Luna looked back in th
