Chapter 10: Chapter 10

Celestine spoke and spoke. She would bring down hard truths on the people, and then she would give them new hope. The way she easily manipulated the mood of the masses could be compared to the filigree playing of a musical instrument. She told them everything. Both about the survival of the dark elves and their queen, who used everything to protect her people, and about the Black Dog's mercenaries allied with the monsters. At the same time, the woman managed in some unthinkable way to draw her listeners in, to make them empathize with those they had disliked all their lives.

 

It was fascinating. The way she did it.

 

Awkward, soft, naive in her ordinary life, Celestine was very different now. She was a Goddess, exactly what these people needed.

 

"Impressive, wasn't she?"- Olga whispered to me," -"her oratorical talents were enviable."

 

She, like me, stood in the front row, watching a luminous colleague speak. They had once been rivals and even enemies, even when we met. And now, here they are, unashamedly praising each other.

 

"Yeah..." - I answered a little lethargically, not taking my eyes off the priestess's green eyes. She was so attractive right now that it was hard to pay attention to anything else.

 

The black-haired beauty noticed my condition, and decided to tease me by asking me: "Is that admiration in your voice? What about your dislike of religion?

 

"She's a nice exception to the rule, as I told you before." - I let it pass me by in silence, and return it with my own. - "And what is this, do I hear jealousy in your voice?"

 

"Pfft..." - She turned away, shaking her hair. The tips of her ears flushed slightly, making me smile. - "No blond mare could take you from me."

 

The penetrating speech, meanwhile, didn't stop for a second. - "...now, when the enemies have surrounded us on all sides, even stealthily penetrated our ranks, we need more than ever to unite together and find new allies! And who could be a better ally than those who have spent their lives doing nothing but fighting? I solemnly announce that an alliance for the good of all our peoples has been made between myself and the Dark Elf Queen Olga Discordia!"

 

"It seems your way out."

"Are you sure you don't want to take a stand next to me? It is rightfully yours." - Suddenly, Olga asked a question that I had heard several times before. Apparently, decided to finally convince myself of my decision.

 

The answer did not change.

 

"Maybe y're right." - I nod in agreement. - "But I'd rather not. You already know everything about me, and for most people I am better to remain unknown."

 

We've discussed this before. The girls, all those who were with me in Pheo, wanted to repay me for helping them this way. But I refused, pointing out the reputation I had earned. A nameless warrior, instilling fear in my enemies by my mere appearance. I was perfectly fine with that.

 

"I understand." - Covering her eyes for a moment, Olga stepped forward and stepped onto the platform, into the eyes of the Free City's citizens.

 

At the sight of the famous dark sorceress, which they used to scare their children when they disobeyed, and about whom, thanks to the actions of those to whom it benefits, there are so many terrible rumors that many in a lifetime will not hear, the crowd quieted, considering the new face.

 

"Together we will accomplish far more than we will individually." - After waiting for the desired effect to be achieved, Celestine took the floor again. - "And now, amidst all that had happened, it was clear that the Alliance of the Seven Shields must change. There were no longer seven of us, and the time when we had to defend ourselves was over. The time has come for us to take our destiny into our own hands and not rely on others to come and protect us! A shield is of little use unless it is accompanied by a sharp blade. So I announce a new member to the Alliance, but not as a shield, but as a sword. A sword that will destroy our enemies!"

 

Once again there was a deafening silence. The reputation of the dark elves played against this decision, but the people, charged with the words of the Goddess, dared not speak out against it. Nor did they rejoice, for that matter.

 

So I decided to give them a nudge. Slowly pulling my hands out from under the cloak I had thrown on so as not to be recognized, I began to clap. Slowly, but with force, so that the sound was clearly audible around me.

 

 

Alicia was the first to pick it up. Then Maya. And after them, everyone else. With a little push, the audience finally decided to welcome the new allies, and they welcomed them wholeheartedly and selflessly.
