'I guess they are adhering to their words.' Grey thought and then from behind the forest over to the other side, he could see dozens of beings walking forward with bows and arrows in their hands and a stern look on their faces. 'Huh?! Why do they look different from humans?' Grey thought in surprise. The beings in front of him were tall and slender, long limbs and elegant figures, with pointed ears on their heads. The ears were slightly longer and pointier than a human's. Their eyes were almond shaped which was slightly slanted giving them an exotic, otherworldly appearance. The beings had fair, pale skins, with their long silky hair having different colours on them ranging from, dark brown to silver coloured. The beings all had a stern look on their faces with their weapons which was a bow with a quiver free of arrows with them making Grey wonder where all the arrows they were bombarding him with came from. Looking around, he noticed that the arrows that missed him had disappeared from the ground as if they had dissipated from the ground causing Grey to be wary of the people in front of him. That was when one of the weird beings stepped forward and stood around two metres away from Grey while his arrow was in hand and pointing it at him while drawing the string, a shimmering light appeared on the bow and then it formed a golden arrow of some kind. Looking at the arrow, Grey's eyes widened as he finally realized what they were made from and why they dissipated. 'This is mana! I can feel the mana running through that bow for the arrow to appear like that, it feels like magic. But what type though?' he thought. "Tell us what a demon like you is doing here?" The being asked. "A demon? Who are you calling a demon? Do I look like a demon?" Grey asked irritated. "You certainly look like a demon by your actions and weird magic." The being said. Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Says the person that looks so weird." Grey replied and then the being pulled back the arrow again. 'I wonder what race or beings they are.' he thought. "Don't you read at all?" Noir asked. "Those beings are elves!" 'Elves? What's an elf?' Grey wondered. "Beings loved by mana. Have abundant reserve of mana and are quite strong in spell casting. Seriously? It doesn't ring a bell?" Noir asked. "Nope." Grey replied. "I give up." Noir said then he went silent. 'I wonder how he knows so much about magic and the world lore.' Grey thought. "Would you answer my questions or should I release the arrow?" The elf in front of Grey asked. "No! Don't shoot! I'm from a race known as humans and I just happened to stumble upon this place while exploring." Grey replied. 'If truly they are as powerful as Noir said, then I have to tread carefully here. Beings loved by mana and having an abundant reserve, assuming Noir said all these before they attacked, I wouldn't have believed as I can feel the large mana running through them. If I were to engage with them, I would run out of mana sooner or later, so I just have to play along.' he thought. "Then what are you doing here? And why did you cause such a sin?!" The elf asked. "Sin? What sin?" Grey asked with a raised eyebrow and then the elf pointed behind him. Looking back wearily, he could see where he landed earlier, how the trees had been uprooted and leaves fell off their branches. "I didn't do that purposely, it was when I landed and my wind magic spread out therefore causing that. Besides, isn't it just trees? They will surely grow back." Grey replied nonchalantly and then he saw the elf's eyes twitching in anger. "Just trees? Now you need to go." The elf said as he drew the string more while Grey prepared the mound beneath his feet ready for anything but then a loud shout from the crowd interrupted them. Then an older elf who had white hair and beard all over walked forward slowly using a walking cane of some sorts. "Damien! Why are you so hotheaded and impatient?" The old elf asked. 'Even their oldies have tremendous amount of mana that could rival 3 star mages and possibly 4 star?! What is this place? And who are these elves?' Grey thought then he saw the old elf turn to look at him. "What is going on here?" The old elf asked and the elf known as Damien smirked when he saw the old elf. "Just take a look at this." Damien said as he pointed behind Grey and the old elf's eyes widened in shock. "Who committed this sin?!" The elf asked. "This demon here." Damien replied. "I told you I'm no demon and if you keep on calling me that, imma burn you to a crisp." Grey said with his hands erupting in flames shocking the old elf. "Oh yeah?! Wanna go for a quick round?" Damien asked as he pointed the bow and arrow forward towards Grey. "Enough!" The old elf interrupted them. "You demon, why did you commit this sin?" "I'm no demon, I'm a human! Why don't you silly elves understand that? And I didn't purposely commit a 'sin'' Grey said the sin part while performing a bunny ears sign with his fingers. "How dare you talk to our elder like that!" Damien shouted and all the elves including Damien lifted their bow and arrows at once while Grey took a stance but then the old elf lifted his hands stopping any altercations. "You guys should calm down and you human, you will have to come along to explain yourself to our leader about why you committed this sin." The elf said. "For goodness sake, I said it wasn't on purpose darn it!" Grey shouted in anger. "Then you shouldn't have any problem coming over to our leader in order to clear your name right?" The old elf asked. "Fine! You want me to accompany you all to see your leader right? Then no problem, lead the way." Grey said as he walked forward while Damien pulled back his bow and letting the arrows dissipate. "Let's go everyone." The old elf said and they all turned back to the other side of the forest they came from and began walking with Grey in their midst with his hands in his pockets and his shirt still wrapped around his waist and his wind magic slowly moving around making it seem like it's just the wind. But it was his magic just in case something happened and he needed an emergency escape route. They kept walking for around five minutes while going deeper into the forest until they finally came out into a clear area but still forest was seen surrounding them. This clearing wasn't really huge but it was still noticeable while the trees were scattered around with houses made on the trees on different tree. The amount of houses Grey was seeing was enough to make for an entire town back home. And then at the edge of the treetop town, a more beautiful tree was laid there with a huge house on it that could fit about two hundred elves on it. The trees instead of having leaves on it, had the houses so it was built spaciously. And weirdly enough for Grey, the trees were somehow huge and bigger than anything he has ever seen which was comfortably housing the houses on it. Right on cue when stepping onto the soil of treetop town, Grey could feel a weird sensation going around as the air was feeling pure again like the forest but the purity here was so great that it almost felt soothing to him. 'I can feel something else… it feels like the mana around the air is trying to force its way into me. But how and why?' he thought. Immediately they had come out of the deep forest, as if sensing it, elves began peeping out of their different houses to see what was going on as they could see Grey in the middle of the warrior elves. "That is the way to our leader's palace, let's go." The old elf said and they all began moving towards there. _______________ {A/N} Guys please motivate me more by sending power stones, Golden tickets and Gifts my way so it would fuel me to keep on writing.
