Ruvera And Prince Elves

Chapter 31. Illusion Light, Books and Gilberto

"BIGUITY … " 

"AAAAAaaaa .. "the cries of the three people who were thrown in shot in the fast lane. The other sea dwellers who used the path also gave them a place. And soon they were bounced back into the water.

The big water scroll took them to the river bank, the three rolled out of the water scroll which then disappeared, Ruve coughed, Gen lay with a sigh of scruff, also Elves who fell on the rocks.

They saw that their horses were waiting for them, "Cough .. cough .. "Ruve crawled over to the edge and sat himself down. "That's not our horse" Elves painstakingly stood up. He walks with a stagger.

Gen followed behind, flapping his wet, heavy coat.

"Kenny it's a hearty old turtle" Gen grumbled. He approached their horses. "That barier belongs to the Illusory Light right?" Elves pointed at the towering neon green-colored barier.

"You're right! We are already in the Illusory Light" Ruve widened her round eyes. "Ruve" the call of Elves made the lady of the rattlesnake nation look at him.

Elves threw a pile of clean cloth, Ruve caught the throw. "Replace!" Ruve nodded and looked for a safe place to change her clothes.

Elsewhere, Hordes with beaked muzzles invade and scramble where Kenny, the old turtle is rendered helpless in the shape of his turtle.

He prepared himself, he had to protect his village, in silence, his body gathering energy, shaping it to perfection, his last weapon

"Where did they go?" Someone wearing a bird mask entered, his men nodded respectfully at him and one of them approached, "Illusional Light"

BLAM! DOOM UP! DOOM UP!

Kenny destroys his place with the attackers. Many of them bounced away because the explosion also hit the collapsed building.

"Retreat!

"Return All!"

"Protect Mr. Rugert!"

"Retreat!" The attacker saved himself and got out of Kenny's place. His last weapon worked.

"Master" Coral ran over. He saw the old turtle spewing a lot of blood. With his magic he raised Kenny on the Sutra Pool.

Coral put Kenny's body into the Sutra Pool and concentrated the power on his hand, aiming at the pool. Time and time again, to heal Kenny.

Ruve, Gen and Elves re-entered the Illusory Light. Without a hitch, they immediately looked for a teapot-shaped house with a pumpkin decoration, where they would take care of licensing to enter the Phoenix Way.

Ting!

"Welcome to the Illusory Light" Agrabella welcomed her guests. He moved his hand on a tray. Three cups of tea water appeared.

Tea that could see their intention to enter the Phoenix Way. They apply strict rules, because they do not want to be cheated like when the coronation of their protective Queen, Queen Bharat. Minimize the presence of intruders.

"Please drink, then wait there for 15 minutes" Agrabella pointed to a library opposite the reception desk where she received her guests.

"However, take off your coat and hood." Agrabella looked straight at the three nodding people.

One by one they opened their coats. "The forest Snake, Rattlesnake and Elf, wah it's very rare to see an Elf here, instead of you having your own portal to the Phoenix Way"

"Yes we are from the Eternal Valley," Elves replied, "Ah deserved it, I used to have a best friend who became a great teacher of potions there, and we often shared a new potion, Gilberto, that is, but he's gone. It's a pity that he is developing a potion that will be sought after"

"Yes we're old friends, are you? One of his students?" Elves nodded.

"Developing potions?" Agrabella saw the curiosity Elves saw in her eyes.

"I have time to discuss your curiosity, but give me a few minutes, you can wait inside" Agrabella suggested they go inside the library.

Agrabella tidied up her desk, cleared up her new experiments, and went inside. She called her husband, Dylan, to take her place waiting for guests to arrive.

He opened a door, he went into many wooden cabinets with black sheets with glass doors there. He came to a closet that looked old. Open it and pick up a book with a thick cover.

He cradled the book to that size and put it on the table. Dusty black book cover. Agrabella wipes away the dust.

He took the basket back in the corner. From the same cupboard, he picked up black bottles.

"Is he what you mean? You said you'd meet me? Regret accompanies you until you're gone, maybe it'll stop soon" Agrabella spoke to the wind.

He cradled the book, then exited the room to where Elves was waiting. "Sorry to wait so long?" Agrabella placed the book she had also covered with a basket with small bottles inside.

Ruve and Elves just stared at Agrabella, waiting for the story from the woman. About teacher Elves. Who is the father of Emma.

Gen didn't like to read much, seeing the pile of books he was already horrified, the man decided to go around the library.

"When Gilberto stopped by here, he would have stayed longer, he told me that there were so many plants he liked." Agrabella told me with her hands patting the ledger.

A book whose cover is familiar to Elves. The cover of the book is the same as Emma's.

"All the research and potions, recorded here, have long been preserved here, the last message from Gilberto, giving this book to his son or his student" The old woman's gaze was fixed on Elves.

"I read it, your story is in here, and he's so sorry he couldn't continue with the potion on you, and it's all written here, aren't you Elves? Prince Elf, Gilberto's proud disciple" said Agrabella could no longer stem Elves' tears. Agrabella pushes Gilberto's tome on Elves.

Elves loved Gilberto more than Elves loved her parents. He honors and gives Elves the affection of a father. When he found out Gilberto was dead, he rushed to meet the man who had been lying stiff on the ground and covered in cloth. 

It's shattered. He sneaked in and did some checks on his teacher's body, and it was astonishing that many were wounded and led to his murder.

He did not accept the statement of royal health experts who claimed that Gilberto committed suicide. That's all bullshit. He insisted that Gilberto be killed.

He told the king, but instead of supporting him, the king told Elves not to get involved and convinced himself that Gilberto had committed suicide.

The belief that he refused until now, at that time he was only a teenager who did not have the strength. He is weak and can only follow rules. And Elves chose to be alone in Gilberto's place.

Hearing Agrabella's story, making her body shake, may her assumptions not be correct. Assumptions about royal involvement on Gilberto's death.

Ruve felt the body beside her tremble. He grabbed Elves' hand and grabbed it, giving the man strength.

Elves took a sip of his saliva. It felt like his tongue was twisted, his throat was dry, sick, he wanted to deny his thoughts, but his heart was betrayed.

He felt warm on the hand that Ruve squeezed. The woman smiled warmly at him. Giving strength. Elves grabs Gilberto's book. Then take out Emma's book.

"Hey old man? Did you meet your favorite daughter there? Here you and your beloved daughter are now mine" Elves piled up Emma and Gilberto's books. Then the young man poured out his tears.

Agrabella got up and gave Elves time. And Ruve faithfully accompanied by patting slowly the head of Elves who sounded sobbing softly.

Tbc.
