Journey Of The Elf Mother Tree In Magic World

Veronica said these words with gritted teeth...

"I couldn't control myself...and asked for a meeting with my husband. I was rejected. The beast king said it was their tradition ... Later,they couldn't stand my persistence about wanting to see my man. The beast king arranged the parade.He ordered me that I could only see him from afar. The place they arranged was the balcony of someone's house near the roadside...."

"It was strange...however I didn't care as long as I could see him.In the long motorcade of the parade,I saw the man with prince attire waving at the citizens. He was very handsome, charming and sunny man. I thought...if it was him,I can stand the abnormalities..."

"When the parade passed by me...an ugly freak behind the prince teased me with rude expressions. I demanded punishment for him but...they said 'No'. ..Later....I overheard the maids gossiping. That prince I thought as my husband was my younger brother in law....He was the second son of the beast king..."

"I guessed you have the idea who my husband is.... It's that ugly freak. The whole beast king palace lied to me... No wonder he didn't dare to meet me in the light.... I exploded at the spot. When I asked them to explain,all I got was they owed nothing....as my own chief father accepted these conditions __behind my back.."

"I was angry.... felt betrayed. I run away from the palace and go back to my tribe. My father persuaded me to accept the prince everyday. Maybe he was confident that I would be back ... the prince didn't came to take me with force...."

"The tragedy started when the seven neighbouring tribes known that I was back. They all wanted the famous me even before my marriage. Now that I was back...they waited and watched if I was important to the prince. Because of the prince's 'wait and see' attitude, they thought I was out of favor and force my father to hand me over...."

"My father asked for help from the prince. Despite my father pleas,the prince said he would help only when I accepted him as he was. I admitted,I wanted a handsome husband. To accept him..huh....He didn't even try to court me. He decieved me with his good damn whole family. When I needed help,he acted like an asshole...."

We didn't make a sound or console her instead we listened quietly. What she needed now is not sympathy....She just need to vent her emotions with cursing in her talk.

"What a bastard!!!Then???"

"Then,the threats from the seven tribes intensified. They declared war and surrounded my tribe. Due to the intentional disregard, they even declare that whichever tribe I was hand over,other six will still wage war. My father couldn't stand the pressure. One side was the daughter he loved....the other side is the tribe he had to protect..... He chose the tribe.... To avoid the attacks from the other six tribes, he decided to dismember me into seven parts,one for each tribe. Because of my father's indulgence from before, I learnt to fight and I'm really good at it...."

" I run away again on the day prior to my dismemberment. This time I went to beast god temple. I prayed.."

"To make long story short,I stole the jewel from the beast god statute. I heard that this jewel was called 'Jewel of the soul'. I commited suicide when I was nearly captured. My blood dripped on the jewel and...I was devoured by the space crack that appeared out of the blue. After that,my body turned into dust while travelling in the space crack....only my soul was kept in the jewel. Then the jewel fell out of the space crack and hit the dead Veronica's body.It must be that we are similar species, I was a wolf orc and she was a wolf beast. I was reborn in her body. I managed to capture her soul into the jewel before it dissipated. And then I was saved by Daniel.... that's it..You know what happened afterward..."

I was interested in Veronica's soul. Did Luminous get her memory? Or what happened to the Silverline pack?

"Did you recieve her memory? Do you know what happened to her and her pack?"

Luminous shook her head...

"I didn't receive her memory. She told me.... It was a dispute over territory that wipe them out. I promised her that I would take revenge in her place. And... I did it.I already killed her enemies within ten years after I took her body. After letting go of her hatred,she fell into deep sleep. She is sleeping in the jewel now.."

Oh...It's good that the hatred was gone. We nodded. So... we don't even need to help? Daniel's Greyhound pack was sharpening their claws...thinking about revenge. But now you told us that there is no plot about revenge? ..

"This time,I was attacked by this group of orcs...Hmm... They are searching for the 'Jewel of the soul'. I guessed this jewel has tracker on it.They yelled and asked me before fighting.... to hand over the jewel ....as soon as they saw me. After all,the distance between the grass land and the Mirkwood forest is very far."

"Done?"

"Yes,I'm done..."

Phew....I was tired just by listening. She even dare to say something like 'to make long story short'. To be honest, she was not that pitiful because she could still fight back for her freedom. Even if she had to killed herself, she was better than the similar victims who could only wait for help in the similar situation.

She was lucky and unlucky at the same time. She was unlucky to meet that kind of despicable and loathsome beings but....she was lucky enough to take the matters in her own hands.

She retaliated them by stealing their cherished jewel.

I seriously give my respect to her..

"Where is the promised sympathy?"

"You got my respect. Isn't it better than sympathy? Geez..You don't need my sympathy. I didn't mean you deserve it. Calling them bad didn't make you a good person. You said your father indulged you before. It meant he loved you and pampered you but you run away leaving them behind... without caring.....What about your tribe's survival? You said they were surrounded by seven tribes. Geez..

I think they shouldn't receive your revenge. Clear the balance between their kindness for you and their betrayal on you....As for the beast king city, I'll help you if you wanted to take revenge. Let's f*ck them when we are strong enough..."

"Watch your language... "

She knocked my forehead with her paw...

"Put the language aside first... When we get stronger,let's just kill them. In fact, punish them lightly to transform these despicable things into something less repulsive and potentially acceptable doesn't suit my taste...."

I painted a big cake for us. Maybe we can really kill them later. Now Luminous's body is stronger than before and has the tendency to advance because of my vitality contained in that drop of life liquid.

"Let's talk about that later. Anyway, we can't do it in the near future.. "

"Okay,then... Where is the jewel? You said it has tracker on it. Let me see if I can hide it in my space."

Luminous got up and digged under her sleeping spot.

After digging for a while,she dug out a shiny purple stone and put it in my hand. This hinding spot is really....

No way... so unpretentious?

Where is the tracker?

I examined the stone seriously to see what was so good about this stone to be cherished by the orcs.

Huh...nothing on it...

However,I found a small white spots inside the stone. Must be the sleeping soul of original Veronica...

Putting into my storage space....

Should be safe, right?

Without thinking much longer, I put the stone into the storage space.

' buzz...buzz..buzz'

As soon as the stone go in, the book shook like an agitated beehive.

[ Found the suitable soul : integrating into the book as a book spirit....]

[ Found the Space crystal : devouring to upgrade the storage space...]

Shit!!!

Won't you ask if I want it or not? What is with this kind of bandit like behavior?

Where is the promised 'Yes/No'? It's not mine...you know?

I want to cry but I have no tears. I dropped my head and apologize softly..

"Sorry!!! I can't control the book from devouring the jewel. I'm really sorry. I'll compensate you when I find another one later. Will it be fine for you?"

Fine for you or not!!!

I can't return your thing now... That book acted like a scoundrel by do it first and talk later... I feel like a naughty child who broke the adult's favorite thing.

"What happened again?"

"Sob...Luminous.... Your jewel is devoured by my storage space. I can never take it out again. It's already integrated into the space.I'm sorry. It seems I robbed your belonging."

I really bursted out of tears this time. I'm afraid. What if they get angry? What if they think I convet this jewel take it internationally?

But Luminous doesn't look angry??

She even rubbed my head gently.

"You can take it confidently. If it can be devoured, we don't have to afraid the tracking of orcs. We have to thank you for your help. It should be given to you just because you are my cub...and you save my life.. I should say thank you but I won't say it as we are family. So..you can't say sorry either. Aren't we family? "

" Thank you....Yes...We are family. I love you...Mama.."

I feel a warm feeling in my heart. I'm very happy now. I'm not alone in this world....not anymore. Although we treated each other like mother and child before,we didn't admit it outright. Now we comfirmed it.....

"Hmm...my cub..The jewel...Is it helpful for you? What will happen to Veronica's soul then?"

" Yes....It should be said that 'very helpful'. The storage space is still upgrading. About the soul.....it will become the guardian spirit for me..."
