Although I felt like I had ran a good ways away the tree bed was only a few minute walk away; and since I was still rather tired I simply body slammed the bed and rolled over. Though, I really didn’t trust Lily since she just tried to kill me less than an hour ago, I was too tired to care and simply fell asleep.

The next morning, I awoke no to the sound of the morning horn but the sound of people yelling. I groggily lifted my head and looked to where the yelling was coming from. Elysif, Iscarat, Compton, and Mordred were all bickering over something. I tried to get up but realized that my arm was asleep and my body felt heavy. Further investigation led to me realizing that Lily was fast asleep on top of me.

“Lily, what are you doing?” I asked with genuine concern. She groggily lifted her head and looked at me with very tired eyes.

“... You looked cold so I thought I would help keep you warm…” she said before laying her head back down.

“Lily, please get up.” I said just as everyone walked over to me and knew I was awake.

“So, want to tell us what happened last night?” Compton asked with an amused smile.

“Not really. I kind of want to sleep all day. Oberon gave us the day to rest.” I said.

“Nope, you need to tell us everything because Mordred can suddenly walk.” Elysif said.

“Fine.” I said as I got up and pushed Lily off me. From there I told them everything that happened from when Lily woke me up to when I went to bed.

“So that girl sleeping on top of you actually tried to kill you but she’s on our side now because Oberon forced her to become your servant as punishment. He also healed my legs and gave you a day to rest? That’s much different than I remember. You told me when you originally came out of this forest that she was a Fae that was gifted to you by Oberon for passing his tests.” Mordred.

“I probably just told the past you that to avoid being asked more questions about it.” I replied as leprechauns began showing up with breakfast food and tea. It was a first since they wouldn’t usually feed us till nightfall but I wasn’t going to complain. I just wanted to start eating. However, before I could go to start eating the delicious looking food I was hugged by Mordred.

“Thank you for wishing for my legs to be healed.” she said.

“Um, you do realize that it was Titania who offered it. I simply agreed.” I replied awkwardly.

“I know, but the fact that you could have wished for almost anything and you still gave it up for me is still worthy of my thanks.” she said as she let me go.

“Well, I did try to have Merlin killed like he was the target of a magical mercenary.” I said.

“Doesn’t matter. Let’s eat!” Mordred said as she walked over to the table the leprechauns had set and began eating.

“Don’t eat all of it on me! I was the one who nearly got eaten for this.” I said as I got up and walked to the table myself. Lily also got up, albeit groggily and sat at the table with us. The Leprechauns took note of this and brought some food and tea over for her as well.

“So Lily. Since you are now part of the team you should probably know that I am Elysif. Compton is the one in the suit, Iscarat is the old man, and Mordred is the blonde.” Elysif said as Lily took a bite of her food.

“I have to ask. Why are all of you here? This isn’t exactly a place that humans want to be. Oberon and Titania both have respect for you and yet you are being hunted by them.” she asked.

“You see, we need to kill someone and they aren’t exactly killable. The person training us sent us here and requested Oberon and Titania to hunt us for sport because it would train us faster.” I said.

She pondered this for a moment before going back to enjoying her food. Either she didn’t care or it made sense to her. That said, I think she just doesn’t care for a more sufficient answer. Had she asked for e better answer though, I don’t think I could give a proper answer. The mess of events that happened to lead us to this point is confusing enough as it is. I really didn’t want to try and explain it so I’m kind of glad she didn’t press further.

“So what are all of your connections to Mr.Mask?” Lily asked.

“My name isn’t Mr.Mask. Although I didn’t tell you what it was so I guess you can’t be blamed-” I started to say.

“I’m his boss.” Mordred said.

“I’m also like his boss.” Compton said.

“I’m a Sorcerer who is tagging along.” Iscarat said.

“And I’m his lover.” Elysif said.

“I never agreed to that.” I said to Elysif. She just stuck her tongue out at me as a response.
