Blood Elf Monarch

Elves, Orcs, Goblins, and Space Knights.

'What kind of world have my sister and I have been thrown into?'

Tristan approached the computer-like object in front of him. He walked closer to see what was happening on the outside through the computer's screen before him.

He could see that the dome-like compound was surrounded by hundreds of figures cladded in silver-colored armors. The faint luster that the armors exuded made Tristan wondered if there was something more on them.

Seeing the figures and connecting the words Cursaac said before, Tristan was confused.

"Are they not on your side? What do they want?"

The reason Tristan asking the question was because the figures surrounding the compound were definitely not friendly. Looking at their demeanor and their weapons out in the open, he was extremely sure that those elves weren't coming for a cup of tea.

"No! No. You see.. They are the real inhabitants of this planet. As for me.. You can say that I am more of .'..a traveller... kekeke" said the Goblin.

Tristan could somehow guess that this damned goblin must have always brought trouble wherever he went. Hence, his 'traveller' title.

Before Tristan could say anything, the goblin continued, "We better not be involved with those people.. Yeah, we should just run. That's the smart thing to do."

The look of the goblin's face clearly showed that he sincerely wished Tristan to heed his suggestion. Alas, there was no way Tristan was going to believe the goblin's words that easily as he didn't know what the goblin's real plan was.

Suddenly, Tristan felt the girl in his arm start to shake. He quickly put down his sister on the ground with care and proceeded to do a check-up on her. When he did so, Tristan began to panic as he could clearly feel that her body was burning hot. Moreover, it also appeared that she kept whispering his name while in half unconscious state.

Tristan once again glared at the goblin. Gritting his teeth, he snarled, "What. Did. You. Do. To. Her!?!"

The goblin panicked when he realized the killing intent in Tristan's eyes,"Nothing! Nothing really.. I did nothing, literally! The most probable reason she was like that was because humans' high dependence on substances... Well, as you can clearly see here, we are not an inn or anything like it."

Realizing what the goblin meant, Tristan could stare in disbelief before he shook his head. Noticing Leyla's dry lips and pale face, what the goblin said was probably true.

"We really should leave.. Lets go.. I know a way.." said the goblin again, this time it sounded like a plea.

Before Tristan could respond to the goblin's words, a loud noise suddenly heard from outside of the room, causing both of them to be alarmed. Turning their heads towards the room's entrance, Tristan saw a group of people entering the room. It was the four remaining space knights with the wounded female on one of the companions back.

The group quickly aimed their weaponry towards Tristan, goblin, and the lying Leyla, "Don't you all dare to move!" shouted the leader.

With his sister lying on the ground, this time Tristan couldn't be reckless even if he probably could easily decimate those people. Tristan looked at the one who shouted earlier,

"If you aren't making any trouble, then I won't too." said Tristan calmly while keeping his gaze at the leader.

The leader, the one which Tristan gazed on, the burly man with a big scar seen across his face, was silent as he saw how calm Tristan was. With his weapon still aimed at Tristan, he said, "We can settle our dispute later. Those Elves are killing your orcs! We fucking surrounded! Tell us how to get away from here!"

Tristan just pointed his finger at the goblin beside him and said, "If you are here for that reason, then you are in the right place! This goblin knows the way out!"

Tristan thought that bringing the space knights along would make it harder for the goblin to fool him. Even though Cursaac seemed unhappy with what Tristan did, it was extremely clear that there was nothing else he could do besides following Tristan's orders.

Noticing that everyone's attention was on him, Cursaac quickly said, "We will need to go to the east wing. That's where my transport is! But I definitely need some time until it can be used. Hence, we need someone to buy time for us!"

One of the injured space knights stepped forward as he volunteered himself, "Captain, let me do it. It's my honor to die for the squad!"

Alas, Tristan cut the valiant space knight off before his captain could respond "With your condition? How long would you be able to buy time for?"

Tristan then followed his words, this time with a confident tone in it, "I will do it."

"I can and will hold as long as you want. You know that I am the only one who is able to do it right now."

Doubtful expressions appeared on the space knights' faces as they didn't know anything about Tristan. Moreover, they previously had a hostile attitude with each other. However, it didn't change the fact that Tristan was indeed strong. It also didn't help that the five of them had at least an injury that impaired their combat prowess.

Cursaac also appeared to be at odds with Tristan's words. Alas, before anyone could say anything else, Tristan had lifted his sister up and stepped forward. Seeing Tristan walking towards the door, the space knight captain stopped him, "You.. you can leave the girl to us!"

Tristan looked at him, and said, "Leaving her to you guys? No! She's safer with me."

Before Tristan walked out of the room, the goblin shouted, "Ten to fifteen minutes is all I need. After that, you can find us at the east wing."

Upon hearing that, Tristan only briefly glanced at the goblin, and then the space knights before proceeding to walk out of the place.

With his sister in his embrace, Tristan walked through the corridor and reached the outside of the building, the place where countless corpses and blood were. His steps were quickly stopped by the dozens of elves.

The first thing that came out from Tristan's mouth was,

"Thank god you all are here… Those bastards, they are all back there. Catch them!"
