Chapter 2: Chpater 2 Nearl

Darkness surrounded the dungeon cell where Nearl is being kept, and disturbing screams could be heard as if someone were being tortured and was in a lot of pain.

 

Sunrise has come and gone, and Nearl is still locked behind dungeon cells like some criminals.

 

"It's your trial, human!" 

 

The guard said as he placed a linked chain on his hands and feet.

 

Two more guards have arrived to escort Nearl out of the dungeon and out to the place court room where the elf king and queen are sitting, witnessing the trial of a human accused of assassinating the elf princess.

 

Elf's of different genders are gathered in a courtroom to witness the trial. They soon arrive to the court covered with deep wounds caused by sharp objects and some bruises from being punched over time.

 

"First, the humans have an elven bow that is supposed to be given only to elf archers by a proper instructor." 

 

A elf wearing a purple robe is the same elf that was interrogated a couple of days ago.

 

The king and queen inspected the bow and tried to pull the strings, but to their surprise, the strings could not be pulled and the bow wouldn't bend.

 

"Imperial war bow, eh, quite rare, but this thing has a sentience and will only let its strings be pulled by a person of good heart and a person who doesn't bear bad things to anyone." 

 

The queen spoke as she finished inspecting the bows and returned them to the elf in purple robes, who placed the bow on the table where Nearl was located.

 

"Pull the strings." "If you can pull it off, we'll let you go free, but if you can't, you'll be executed on the spot." 

 

The elf in purple robes said as he started to prepare to cast instant death magic to see if he ever failed to pull the strings.

 

The guards that escorted Nearl pulled out the keys on the chain that was locked on Nearl's hand and released him for the test.

 

Kyle walked toward the elf with purple robes, took the bow, and prepared to pull the strings. Nearl pulled the string of the bow and managed to charge it and imbue it with a little magic he had, and when he managed to fully charge the bow, the strings started to glow green, and after a while, the same fairy that was only glowing yellow when Nearl met it started to cast magic on Nearl's body, healing any wounds he had, and going back to the bow where the fairy came from.

 

"Free this human and give him compensation for how he was treated badly." 

 

The king said 

 

After the king finished the order, the beautiful elf princess appeared behind a pillar near where the queen and king are seated.

 

"That human saved me from black mists." 

 

The elf princess shouted as she started to run toward Nearl, bowing her head and asking for forgiveness for what the knights had done to him. She also offered Nearl something.

 

"I beg your forgiveness, human. I was sick when you were locked up in the dungeon, and I didn't manage to inform the guard that you actually saved my life." 

 

The elf princess shed tears as she said those words and quickly placed her head against the

 

"This is all I can give you for now. As the only human I have, you'll be content with this." 

 

The elf princess placed her lips against the human hunter, and the whole crowd was shocked at the scene that happened.

 

Nearly turn red as the elf princess lets go of his lips, creating a bridge of saliva connecting their mouths.

"I am very sorry, human." 

 

The reaction of the elf king and queen is priceless as they watch their daughter offer her first kiss to a lowly human.

 

"Take him out of here, knights." 

 

The king said 

 

The guard escorted Nearl out of the palace and to the gates while the elf princess was getting scolded by the elf king.

 

The elf queen quietly sneaked off court and headed to the gates to meet the hunter.

 

"Your that kid with inhuman skills on archery right? Look how you've grown up, you kid." 

 

The queen said that near was about to leave the palace.

 

"Master!?" 

 

Nearl said as he started to kneel down to the ground.

 

"10 years was it, kid, when you went to me and begged me to teach you archery." 

 

The queen laughs as she tries to remember how nearl begged her to teach him how to use a bow. Seeing how nearl has grown, the queen placed a blessing on him.

 

"May you live your life to the fullest." 

 

The queen placed her hands on the head of Nabel and rubbed him like a child.

 

Nearl is given gold and a permission to take only one from the kingdom. Nearl trolls around the elf kingdom seeing all kinds of goods ranging from armors and weapons to a variety of foods and dyes. An item caught the attention of Nearl. It is a pair of normal gold rings with a beautiful green gem embedded on the ring to make it look more like a wedding ring.

 

"Hey, mister, can I take this pair of rings?" 

 

Nearl asks the vendor and hands over a piece of rolled paper to the vendor, indicating that he's allowed to take a single item from the store. Nearl pick the pair of rings and place them in his pockets and continue to walk around the town looking for a place to sit. He sees a familiar figure pass through the people in the streets and tries to catch up with the familiar figure. When he manages to catch up with the familiar figure, he immediately pulls out the ring he just bought and offers it to the woman who's covered with clothes obviously trying to hide the identity.

 

"Take this, ma'am. You saved me from hunger, and you brought wine to drink when I was hungry. I know I don't have much, but please take this ring as a token of my thanks." 

 

The hooded woman took the ring and ran away.

 

----------------

 

A few hours have passed. The palace has calmed down, and the elf princess silently sneaks into her room covered with a cloak. When she finally made it inside her room, she shut the door and sat down on the floor with her back against the door. She is hugging her knees with a beautiful gold ring with a green gem on her ring finger.

 

"Idiot human, you made me fall for you two times in one year." 

 

The face of the elf princess was bright red, just like a red tomato.
