Sunrays were coming through the window and it was on my eyes. I wanted to sleep more and Get more sleep. I stood up and I think, maybe I'm drunk today. Like, why is the world spining. I went outside and splashed some water on my face and the whole spining thing went away. Then I washed myself by the well outside the house and then opened the door to only be greeted by a, pouting face? Yes, my love is giving me a dissapointed look. Must be that time of the month for her. She was glaring daggers through me, alas I was no feeble, heavly armoured leon. I'm but a lowly archer wearing some feeble armour. So these invicible daggers do pierce my heart.
She was angry and I did something wrong. Ok, "Good morning velvet"
"Good morning? It's noon for crying out loud" she shot down my advance
"Then, good afternoon" I came up with a comback.
"Too late!!!" that reply was fast.
I can't give up tho. Then
"Ok, velvet. What's wrong?" a women is a mysterious creature. But, we need to learn about this new found creature too.
"hmmm......"
She was clearly angry and not gonna give me a reply and turned away from me hugging her legs on the chair. So...
"come on, you know I won't know what I did wrong unless you tell me right?"
She just gave me a glance. Oh! It might be working.
"I know I did something wrong and I'm sorry velvet"
She looked at me this time. One more push and
"whatever it is, I will make up for it"
"Really?"
"Really"
I got up and gave her a gentlemen-ish bow and raised my hand to her and said "Fair lady, will you do me the hourner of going on a date with me tonight?"
She just covered her mouth with her hands and just replyed "I will"
"Then I will announce you husband and wife" it was leon
"You may kiss the bride" it was grim.
And then they both just ran away. I was about to chase after them but, velvet stopped me.
Well, I think I know why velvet requested that from the captain. It's just, we all need a break desperately and now that I think about it. We didn't even had a proper break all this time. Or I maybe reading into it more than necessary. Either way, I'll enjoy this time.
So... it was night after few hours.
I was all dressed up. In a fine brown tunic and a green trouser. It was finely washed and it was brought recently and most of the common people wear clothes like these.
I was standing infront of the door. Yes, it was the secreat special team base. I knocked on the door and a old grumpy dwarf opened the door and said "so, you're him?"
"uh..., Yes? "
"You may have stolen my daughter's heart, but you will never have my daughter, you WILD ANIMAL!!! " is this a new comdey routine.
Oh and here comes the next fool. Yes, it was leon.
And leo- oh right, her acting younger brother came from behind and he said
"If you don't make her happy, I'm goona kill you"
Then they both said, "We'll call velvet" and turned around and screamed "VELVET!!!" like, one of those human women that screamed on a stage.

"Fine, fine I'm coming down" then velvet came down the stairs. She was wearing a red kirtle, a apron, a head covering to cover her hair and some footware that's used by common people. she was gorgeous. I couldn't speak a word. Even if I tried saying something, I don't think any words will leave my lips. Then leon stomped my feet. That made me come to my senses.
"You look gorgeous today, velvet. I mean you always do but today speacially"
She just came nearer and nearer, didn't say a word. I just,
"You're so pretty, I ment to say beautiful, I mean gorgeous"
Yup.
She just came near me, expressionless and, when she was near me
"why aren't you saying something?" I asked, nervously and she
"pfft-" yup laughed, She was laughing soo hard.
And grim and leon joined her.
"Gotta see his face" leon added
"A man who was just making a fool out of himself" grim added.
"his face was priceless" velvet added.
This was infuriating, I mean laughing at my nervousness. They made me mad. They're gonna witness the wrath of elves elkwood, the one to purify them all of laughter . Hehe
I went into my room and got my bow, the elven bow. The forest guardian.
I took it, ran outside and readied a arrow to only see empty air.
I screamed "COWARDS!!!"
I summoned my spirit, sylfa.
She was a sprit good at using the wind, so I sent her up, where she could see my prey. This was how I hunted in my adventuring days. She found one unfortunate runner to the east and she used the wind to singnal me the direction of my pray. I could feel a small breeze on me towards a paticular direction and I aimed towards it. The futhur my prey the stronger the wind and I aimed according to the wind strength and direction. And released a arrow. The wind stopped.
Meaning it was right on target. Well, the arrows were actually made out of sand bags. Which is really really strong with the right strength, when realsed and depending on where it hits.
If the hero was an close range expert I was a long range one. I actually worked better solo than the others in this party. And looks like my parner found my next target, I did the same thing and my final target was somewhere to the area of the east tower of the city. I ordered my spirit to bring my two throphys and then I wanted to get up and personal to finish off my last prey. I ran towards the tower, and I saw red clothes and I knew, it was velvet.
I approached her and she was looking far away to the distant mountains and she turned her head when she heard my footsteps and said
"Elves, what brings you here?" oh! she has the forgetful sickness now. Then I'll say
"No reason, just saw a beautiful lady here and came to see her"
"Who is this lucky beautiful lady then?"
"You"
"oh elves"
Yeah, enough of this comedic routine. I pulled my bow and readied a arrow to shoot. Then velvet said
"I though you loved me"
"I'm doing this because I love you"
Then I saw some shadowy figuere jumping out a castle window. Like, they were sneaking out.
Noticing it, I aimed at that shadowy figuer and realeased the arrow. And velvet said
"Mother, father I will meet you in heaven"
I screamed "Now, know the the reason I was called 'dead shot'" and the arrow went past velvets shoulder and went straight for my target and it was a perfect shot.
One of them fell down and I started running in that direction.
And velvet was still frozon there, must be shock or something. I made there, the one who got hit was lying near the outer wall of the castle and I was near to only get surrounded by soilders and a familiar man came near me. It was vel and I didn't notice the man who approched from behind him. He was short, he had more of an old human look, had a white beard, was wearing white and
"Oh! Elevs didn't know you came back" said the man unsurprised.
I bowed right there and said "Greetings your magesty"
Hearing that all of the soilders bowed and he said
"You all may rise, and elevs and vel can you both explain to me about what is going on here?"
With that, vel answered
"We noticed some theifs and they were running away and we were giving chase your magesty"
And I answered "I saw some shadowy figures escaping and shot them"
The king asked "Oh! And what were they trying to steal? Oh and some soilders get that unconscious man to the dungeons"
Vel answered " We don't know, a guard saw one of them trying to sneak to your room, your magesty"
"Oh my, vel be sure get every info you can out of that man"
"Yes, your highness"
"You may return to your duties vel"
The king turned his head towards me with a look, a one I didn't wanna see.
"So, elves you were back and you forgot all about me"
"No, I would never your magesty"
"So, where is my daughter elves? "
"She's, to the east your magesty"
"Well, I know you must already know, vel told me everything and...." he was hesitant, but, he continued
"I know about charlot, I'll pretend like I didn't saw you but, I'll be only be giving my idiot of an daughter 2 days"
"Your-" he raised his hand signaling me to stop.
"Elevs, so much happened and I lost my daughter again, the whole royal family is sad but, we'll only announce it when velvet returns to the castle" he took a breather and continued.
"Just give her sometime. She's my daughter after all, it's hard pretending to be fine and elevs do me one favour"
"what your magesty? "
"If something happens take her and leave this kingdom, don't trust anyone specially the hero and protect her at all cost"
"I will your magesty"
"Then you may leave, we never met tonight and even the moon is spy to the sun"
"But, without the sun, the moon can not be called special"
"oh and your magesty, be safe" I said as I stood up
"I should be saying that to you, you thief"
Well, we never met.
