《Elf, Human and Vampire》CHAPTER 10: NEGOTIATIONS
Advertisement
From afar its look like an army of dark elf is moving to a certain direction. About 1000 of them are walking while caring a weapon with them. Some of them are caring a sword, spear, and bow. At the front of the army, there is three-person that ride a horse. The right one is the male dark elf with a big body. The left one is the unknown dark elf because he is wearing a hood that covers his face. And the middle one is the young dark elf girl that carried a double dagger in her back. She is the one that fights with Mei before. Its looks like she is the leader of the group.
“How long until we reach Avallone kingdom?” Ask her to her men.
“If we take this way without stopped, we will reach Avallone kingdom in the evening.” Reply the person from her left that wearing a hood. Its looks like he is the one that provides the information to his leader.
“Good. Ask the group to make a preparation now. We will take down that traitor kingdom by this evening.”
“But Calen-Sama, do you really think this is the right choice?” Ask the one with the big body out of blue. “Attacking the Avallone kingdom just will opening the way to another war. As you know, the Avallone kingdom has a good allied with Eregion kingdom the birthplace of all Elf magic. Taking down the Avallone kingdom will make them angry and just will trigger another war.”
He is very scared of Calen's decision. If she really determines to continue her action, it only will cause many casualties to happen in the future. To fight two kingdoms at the same time is out of mind.
“It is alright. The Eregion kingdom may be known as the birthplace of all elf magic. However, the people there are not a threat to us. They only a weak people who only depend on other's kingdoms. They cannot stand in our way if the war is breaking up.” Calen is very confident in her action.
Eregion kingdom is known as the birthplace of all Elf magic. This is because their kingdom are located in the middle of the Elf Forest and in there, there is a big tree that called as Tree of Life. The Tree of Life produces a little light when it leaves fall and whenever the leaf-fall it will give a high magic to Elf Forest. It was surrounded by the magic wall because the rumor said if the tree died, then the entire Elf in the Elf Forest will lose their magic power. That why that place was known as the birthplace of all magic.
“Then what about your father and the elders? They will never agree with this.” When he recalls back Calen's action, taking out the army without her father and elders’ permission.
“Father… huh. They just a coward that scared to do anything. They always talk about peace and reconciliation but never act to achieve it. He and the elders just an old people that waiting for the time to die. When the time comes, I’m will take his place as the king and lead Edhellond's kingdom, under my rule. So, there nothing for us to worried about.”
Calen is the only daughter of Arthur, one of the Elven-kings that ruled the north forest. She is the next heir of the throne in her place like Aoi. But unlike Aoi that always refuses to be the next king, Calen is the one that is always waiting to take her father's place. However, her father does not trust her to lead the kingdom because she had a bad attitude and always solve the problem through power. This had made her always protest her father's decision.

“This time, I will make sure all the people will respect me” she talks to herself with a lower voice.
Calen's movement was stopped when she sees glimpses of people's shadows from afar come toward her and her army. Then she raises her hand giving a signal to her people to stop.
The shadow comes even closer and finally, Calen can see a young woman about her age with two kids beside her comes toward her and her people. Without wasting any time, Calen gives an eye signal to her hood man, cautions if the surprise attack was coming.
“Who are you?” Shout Calen.
Then the shadow was coming even more closer and finally revealed themself as Aoi, Sora, and Sero. The three of them are walking slowly in the opposite direction of the Calen army moving. After that, the three of them stopped walking after making sure they were close to Calen’s army.
“We need to talk.” Said Aoi.
***
“What do you want to talk about, bastard?” ask Calen with an impolite tone.
Aoi sees Calen's action with a filthy face. She gripped both of her hands tried to control her anger. This woman had a very bad attitude and used a rude language. If she had been in an Avallone kingdom, she will be beaten up by Aoi until the point she will beg for forgiveness. However, she cannot let her personal emotion to take over. She slowly released a gripe of her fingers and begins to talk.
“What the cause of you to attack my kingdom? We as a guardian cannot trigger a war without a proper reason. That has violated the agreement made by all the Elders in Elf Forest. I need a full explanation from you.” Aoi tried to tolerate with Calen.
“Huh… explanation. There no need explanation for a traitor like you. Prepare yourself!” While taking out her weapons, the double dagger and ready a horse to dash toward Aoi.
Aoi saw her action and quickly hold grab the knob of her sword which she slipped in her waist area. Her action is followed by Sora and Sero. Sora and Sero also take out their weapons ready for the battle. However, before they fully take out the weapons their movement is stopped by the one of Calen men that has a big body.
“Wait Calen-Sama. Don’t make a rush action.” While holding Calen shoulder. “I recognize the three of them. The young woman in the middle one is Aoi. One of the seven Guardians of Elf Forest just like you but… she is the crazy one. Two years ago, because of a certain tragedy, she had destroyed all the entire army of goblins in this forest. She also had the nickname as the ‘blue destroyer’. Her name is famous around all the Elf in all place.”
“Whatever the nickname that she gets, she still no match for me.”
“Yeah! that might be true but… not only that” He continues the talk. “The two boys beside her also not an ordinary kids. The two of them are Sora and Sero the twin dragons from Avallone kingdom. Their name is famous around the monsters around here because they are never defeated if they are working together. They're also a rumor said that they can even take down a Guardians in a battle 2 vs 1. To fight three of them simultaneously just put us in disadvantageous even with our number.”

Calen was silent when listening to her man's explanation. Even she confident with her strength but fighting three strong people is out of question. Moreover, she still has not fully recovered from her last battle with Mei before. “Tchh… so, what you want me to do?”
“I want you to talk to them first. Maybe we can settle this matter without spill any blood.” Giving an idea to Calen.
“It looks like I don’t have any choice.” While getting down from the horse that she riding. She needs to restrain herself from doing a stupid action. Even she is strong but sometimes she needs to think ahead first before doing something. It was useless to fight a battle that she cannot wins.
“Frodo, Garett… you two will come with me to negotiation.” Giving order to two of her men, the hood person, and the big guy.
“Right!” Reply them simultaneously.
***
Aoi saw the enemy is got down from her horse and walking toward her and her brothers followed by two others. From the enemy's action, it looks like they want to negotiate with her. Then put back her sword into the sheath and staying at her place waiting for the enemy to reach.
“What do you want to talk about, ugly?” Ask Calen with a rude behavior after reach Aoi place.
Aoi feels annoying with Calen's language. She really needs a punch from Aoi to fix her attitude. However, she still patient talking to her enemies.
“No… I just want to ask you the reasons why do want to attack my kingdom, fat.” Reply Aoi while controlling her anger and giving back the rude word that she uses, back to her.
“I don’t need to explain my reasons for a weakness people like you.”
“Oh my (Ara-ara) … weak people. I don’t any memory of my people weak when my kingdom is more successful than yours in combat and magic. If I recall back your people is the weakest one because need an army to fight us but it just takes three people from my kingdom to stop you.”
“What do you just say. If you think you strong just because your name is famous then bring it on. It just takes me only to defeat you.” While taking out her weapons.
“Really, then I will show you the difference between the sky and the earth.” Taking out her sword in response to Calen's action.
Sora, Sero, and two Calen men are looking at the two of them quarrel words with a priceless expression. They never thought the talk will lead to this. The two of them have a really same personality. The two of them never want to lose to each other and had an impolite behavior. If this is continuing like this, it will be over with a bad ending.
“Ano… Calen -Sama, I thought we want to settle this matter peacefully.” said the big guy tried stopped their argument.
“Shut up Garett. I will to teach these idiot women who are the real weak ones.” While pointing her weapons ahead.
“Nee-chan, you had promised us that will never fight with them before, remember.” Said Sero tried to stop Aoi too.
“Promise? Yeah, I promise you two to not fighting with them but I never said I will just keep quiet if they ask for a duel, especially these fool women.” Aoi cannot control her anger anymore and point her sword too.
“Fat…”-Aoi
“Ugly…”-Calen
Said two of them said that simultaneously.
Then the two of them dash ahead at the same time to fight out of anger. However, before Aoi's sword reach, her body was stopped by Sora and Sero. Same as Calen, the two of her men holding Calen body to keeping her to moving forward.
“Its looks like the negotiation was failed, how about the two of you calm down first… I will take the lead from here.” Said the big guy while still holding Calen's body.
A moment later
“I’m sorry for what happen earlier.” Said the big guy to Aoi after the two of them calm down. “From now on I will take Calen-Sama place to talk to you.”
From this guy's back, Aoi can still look at Calen gripping his hands on his stomach and make a face, not satisfied with this decision. The hood person is with her, tried to calm her down.
“I’m Garett one of the knights of Edhellond kingdom. The reason we want to attack your kingdoms is because we suspect your kingdom is giving the protection to a human. As you know we cannot involve ourself with the human. According to the peace treaty that had been made 1000 years ago, Elf and Human cannot interact with each other. If any of kingdom found out to be involved or protected the human, they will be punished by all the others kingdom.” Continue him.
“Human… Do you mean the one with the short ears?” Reply Aoi with an innocent tone.
Suddenly, all the Calen people's expressions change from normal to serious. They all looking at Aoi with a sharp gaze in their eyes. Is there something wrong with her words? -Aoi question herself.
From Aoi's side, Sora is listening to their conversation. While listening, his mind tried to remembering something. Human. Do they mean Mei and her subordinate? Then he just remembers the book that he just read at the library in his kingdoms.
Out of blue, his body becomes trembling. Her expression change from cool to fear. The sweat coming out from his face and his body become weak. Then, with a trembling, he reaches Aoi's hands to warn her. It looks like he had done something terrible.
Aoi realizes the change in Sora's expression after Sora reaches her hand. Sora always looks calm and cool in front of people. This is because with his intelligence at a young age, he always knows everything that happens. But today it was the first time for Aoi, to see Sora trembling. His body looks so weak and his face is so scared.
“What the matter Sora?” tried to calm Sora. Sero that looks at his brother also feels weird seeing him like that.
“Sorry nee-chan, it looks like we have done something terrible.” Told him with a trembling voice.

They Are Our Smols
You’ve read They Are Smol. You’ve enjoyed They Are Smol (if you haven’t, well, prepare to not enjoy this one either). But this is smols like you’ve not seen them before. This is extreme smolness with a lemon twist: smols fucked up big time in this one, and Earth, well… Earth is empty of smols. At least the ayys hope so, because it’s fallout time back there. The ones that got away — and let’s face it, it was all of them that were left — had no place to go. Homeless, smol and needing protectings, they were taken in. For the lucky ayys out there, they’re our smols. This is a not-so-serious slice of life alternate universe where the entire population of Earth, what was left after the dead man’s switch was flipped and the nukes successfully irradiated the planet, were evacuated en masse and then taken in by the galactic civilization at large. I’ll probably write a few more in this silly, comfy alternate timeline to expand on what’s different, but don’t take it too seriously, okay? I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only u/tinyprancinghorse.TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a Website and a Patreon.
