*3rd person POV*

Tifa slowly stumbled her way back to her kingdom.

In the deepest parts of the forest, The elven kingdom was a small kingdom that was surrounded by a Unique magical barrier. The purpose of this barrier was to deter any strangers who may have accidentally entered the place.

Passing through the barrier, and walking some distance. Tifa finally made her kingdom. A place filled with vegetation, beautiful flowers, Trees as thick as a boulder.

This is the home of the Elves. They use the thick trees as houses, hollowing it up and living inside it. Some trees had a circular wooden door at the base of the trees and others had it near the top. All of the house trees were joined with Vines and Bridges made of wooden planks.

There were still buildings and small houses present, unlike the hollowed trees, these buildings held a much important role, whether as used as shops, research institute, schools, etc. The small houses were atop trees and the large buildings were built on the ground.

Some of the buildings had peculiar wooden planks hanging near the entrances with drawings on it to describe what you would find inside.

Tifa was walking towards a certain building which had the painting of a quill and paper beside it.

Inside the building, there were chairs on one side, a ladder on one corner which went to the upper floor and there was a large desk, near the middle. Currently, there were only two people present in the building.

One scared little girl with light green, braided hair and blackish eyes who was behind the large desk in the middle. And one angry little girl with blond twin tails. very well known as Sarah, who slammed both her hands on the desk with anger.

*BANG*

Cracks formed under Sarah’s hands as the scared little girl was almost about to cry while she hid behind the desk from Sarah. Like a cornered rabbit in front of a tiger.

[WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE HASN'T REACHED HERE YET!] (Sarah)

Sarah screamed at the child Elf.

[I-Im Sorry! I-Im Really Sorry! but T-Tifa hasn't checked out here Y-Yet!] (Elven Girl)

The child elf, who was pretty much crying, did her best to stand her ground against the terrifying monster.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t quell the monster’s rage.

Sarah slammed the desk again, however, the desk couldn’t handle anymore of Sarah’s beating and promptly got crushed under Sarah’s slaps.

The elven child yelped in fear. She felt like she was talking to the Grim reaper who came after her soul.

[If I found out that this is another prank from those Bastards then I swear I'll kill them!] (Sarah)

Sarah finally turned around towards the exit door and this slight gesture brought light back into the elven child’s eyes.

Sarah walked a few steps away in anger before turning back at the elven girl.

[And if I found out that you're a part of this, then expect a world of pain.] (Sarah)

In the eyes of a large angry monsters, anyone would run away. But the elven girl held her ground, and did her very best to clear her name.

[I-I swear I d-didn't do anything! I-I'm Really J-Just trying to do my j-job!] (Elven Girl)

The Elven Girl, with tears in her eyes, forced herself to talk while she was trembling under the eyes of the beast.

Fortunately, It seems like both of girls wishes were fulfilled, as just then, the door behind Sarah opened up, and an extremely tired Elf limped in.

It was Tifa.

[TIFA!] (Sarah)

Sarah forgot all her anger as she ran up and gave her little sister a big hug.

[I Was So Worried! Where Were You!?] (Sarah)

[Hello sis, I'm back.] (Tifa)

Tifa said in a monotonous voice with a dead smile and an even deader eyes.

Sarah felt something was amiss. Firstly, Tifa was completely covered with sweat, some of which got on Sarah when she hugged her. Secondly, she looked at Tifa and noticed that Tifa had dishevelled hair and looked dead tired.

[W-What happened to you? Were you Ambushed!?] (Sarah)

Tifa, in a monotonous voice, started talking.

[Turns out the boy didn't need my help after all. He kept killing the zombies for the entire night. I stayed away from him but I wanted to help him so I also started killing zombies while remaining hidden but that wasn't necessary since he kept killing and killing without a stop so I also kept killing and killing and killing and we kept on killing but there was no stopping so we kept on killing...and kill-] (Tifa)

[Tifa! Snap Out Of It!] (Sarah)

Sarah noticed her sister’s sanity slowly leaving, so she yelled and tried shaking her up.

Tifa felt a jolt as life slowly came back into her eyes.

[ah... yes.] (Tifa)

[Are you Okay?] (Sarah)

[....I think so?] (Tifa)

[Okay, That's It! You’re coming with me to the medic. We’ll talk after that.] (Sarah)

[But-] (Tifa)

[No buts! You’re coming with me whether you like it or not!] (Sarah)

Tifa didn’t had any energy in her body, so she could only reply tiredly and helplessly.

[But, the attendance.] (Tifa)

Tifa pointed at the wreckage Sarah had left her victim in. A completely ruined desk and an elven girl scared for her life hiding behind the wrecked desk.

[O-oh yea. The attendance.] (Sarah)

Sarah gave a sidelong look towards the wreck she made.

Everyone who ever left the Elven Kingdom was required to leave his attendance of when they would return, so that if they don’t return by the time they specified, a rescue party would be dispatched.

[Um… I’ll wait outside.] (Sarah)

Tifa nodded, she knew that Sarah is untameable when she’s angry which would sometimes lead to situations like these.

Sarah quickly left the place as Tifa slowly wobbled towards the crying Elven girl who was holding her knees as she sat down behind the wreckage.

[Lily? I'm really sorry about her.] (Tifa)

Tifa wanted to console the elven girl, Lily, but didn’t because of two reasons. One being, the Tifa was extremely tired to do anything, and secondly, Lily was older than Tifa.

Elves age slowly so their appearances are always deceiving.

[I-Its fine *Sniff* I have to get used to these things right? *Sniff* S-She's just really scary when she's mad *Sniff*.] (Lily)

[......I'm sorry again Lily.] (Tifa)

Lily wiped her tears before searching the wreckage for a book, after cleaning it, Lily wrote something in the book and then promptly closed it.

[T-there! It’s done.] (Lily)

[Thanks Lily.] (Tifa)

[N-No problem!] (Lily)

Lily tried to appear strong by standing straight and responding confidently but it looked awkward with snot drooping down her nose.

Tifa slowly stumbled her way out of the administration office and was captured by Sarah. At this point, she was out of energy and resigned herself to her fate.

At some point Tifa closed her eyes and immediately fell asleep while dragged by her older sister.

*One hour later*

Tifa later woke up in a small room, she was laying down on a hard-white bed, while the smell of medicines wafted the air.

She looked around and saw Sarah sitting on a chair next to her.

[What happened?] (Tifa)

Tifa asked Sarah.

[Oh, you’re awake. How’re you feeling?] (Sarah)

Tifa stood up and sat on the bed.

[Mm, A lot better than before.] (Tifa)

[heh, see? The doctors know what they’re doing. You’re diagnoses was weird though. The doctor said you were dead tired and had some mental damage. Could you explain to me now on what happened?] (Sarah)

Tifa nodded, and started telling her story from the beginning. On how the boy had single handily killed more zombies than her, took the entire brunt and kept getting beaten down the whole night, and after the day light broke the horizon, he casually builds himself a home as if it was a normal thing to do.

Sarah was shocked by Tifa’s story but was also intrigued.

[.... That’s crazy. Now, I want to know about the boy.] (Sarah)

Sarah said with curiosity in her voice.

[Hm? But I already told you everything?] (Tifa)

[You do know which race he was from right?] (Sarah)

Tifa shook her head.

[No, I haven't seen a race like that] (Tifa)

[Hm? Oh yeah, you've never visited the grand hall, right? Well, he was from the Silver daemons race if I remember correctly.] (Sarah)

[You've been to the Grand Hall?] (Tifa)

The Grand Hall was a bit of a sacred place for the elves. It was where their King, Queen, and the Dryad made decisions.

Sarah was a little shaken by her question.

[Y-Yea! It was an Important Job and I happen to have made some frequent Visits! But, That's enough about me. Those guys with the white hair are known as the Silver daemons.] (Sarah)

[Silver Daemons?] (Tifa)

Sarah nodded and started thinking for bit before a sinister smile crept up on her face.

[Listen Tifa, those guys are a really passive race and are really overprotective. It's actually Quite rare to see someone alone since they always stay in their own place.] (Sarah)

Tifa nodded.

[Do you see where I'm going with this?] (Sarah)

Sarah said with a grin.

[........I don't?] (Tifa)

[What if.......he works with us?] (Sarah)

Tifa stared back at Sarah with sharp eyes.

[D-Dont look it me like that! I'm Serious!] (Sarah)

[Why do you think he'll want to work with us.] (Tifa)

Sarah made the same annoying grin again.

[Like I said, they never leave their place... alone. So why would such a skilled warrior like that, leave their place? The answer is, he won't. Even his family won't let him.] (Sarah)

[Do you think....] (Tifa)

[He was either cast out or left willingly. Probably cast out but I can’t say for certainty.] (Sarah)

Tifa was actually a little bit shocked about this information about the boy's life.

She felt jealous of his skills in the sword, bow and also magic, something which she always wanted to have but for a young boy like him to be cast out.......

{Author note: Remember, Elves have a huge life span. Someone of 20 years is like a kid to them.}

[I forgot to mention but he's also good with the bow and magic too.] (Tifa)

[Well He can't be that Good?] (Sarah)

[The wooden sword wasn't even damaged till the morning and was still imbued with fire the whole night. And he was using the bow at close range...... Against crowds of zombies.] (Tifa)

[WHAT!!!] (Sarah)

Sarah was so surprised that she almost stood up from her chair. Sarah outburst didn’t go unnoticed as someone scolded her to be quiet from outside the room.

[Uhh, Ahem! Sorry about That!] (Sarah)

Sarah apologized and started whispering.

[That's Impossible right?] (Sarah)

[That's what I wanted to believe too.] (Tifa)

[Do you know what that means! It means that his Mana is almost on Par with our Queen!] (Sarah)

Elves valued those with high mana concentration in them, which was why it was quite normal for Sarah to be excited.

Sarah’s words were like a Bombshell to Tifa.

The queen of the Elves right now had an Insane amount of mana that any mage would kill to get. Tifa almost screamed too but controlled herself.

[That!... It should be Impossible, right?] (Tifa)

[You're telling me what he did, I wasn't there.] (Sarah)

[Then what do we do now?] (Tifa)

[It's obvious isn't it? We have to recruit him no matter what happens.] (Sarah)

Elves had always kept secrecy with whatever they did, but it was not uncommon to work with other races they deemed worthy of. As long as it would not land them in any trouble or make them stand out.

Tifa started thinking deeply before finally saying

[Do you think he will join us?] (Tifa)

Sarah grinned.

[Leave that to me!] (Sarah)

Sarah said with a thumbs up.
