Now that I was no longer dry as a fart in a sandstorm, x waved for to follow with a sly smile. I felt like I was missing sothing, but that was completely reasonable considering what I had just gone through.
It had been hard enough already to follow what he had been saying about the last Elental that we were going to et, but I was interested in the daughter. I caught up to x and was about to ask him about her, but he put up a finger just as I was about to speak.
"Don't bother; you won't see her this ti anyways. If you survive this, then I have picked properly; if not, well, you know," x said as the Evergreen trees started to beco denser, and soon the rock plateau was visible from a distance.
Soon the trees beca too thick, and I lost the rock outcropping, but one thing that I was able to notice was the constant vines and hissing flowers. I don't rember seeing them near the fire lake, but there would be no way that they could survive there anyways.
"Hey, what is with the flowers and vines? They seem to be everywhere we go," I asked x without saying, up this ti as I started to be able to make out the rock plateau again.
"Those are my wife's creations, and they run everywhere. She uses them to check up on things for ," x said as the plateau ca into full view.
"So she can hear us?" I asked, a bit worried.
"No, only see us," x said, but that didn't make feel any better.
Soone that would have an ability like that would probably learn how to read lips pretty fast, but I wasn't about to go putting strange thoughts into his head. I would just have to keep a hold of this bit of knowledge, but maybe Nixi was right.
"What do you want, Great Demon Lord of Nothing?" Called a wisped and condescending voice from the plateau.
"I am here to bring you a student, just like you asked," x said while holding a straight face.
"This is what was spit out, and that's what you brought after all this ti? I respect your actions, just not the man behind them, so I will test this Breath," The condescending voice said as we stepped onto the rock ledge that overlooked a beautiful green valley.
As we stepped onto the platform, the wind picked up, and the streams beca white and visible until they coalesced. The shape of a white armored knight appeared, but I couldn't see his face because the visor of his helt was down, closing off his face if he had one.
"This is him, so do not relax. Your life's on the line; get your weapon out!" x hissed at , and I grabbed at my bet and found what I needed.
I still sohow managed not to lose my fla saber, so I lit it up as the Windborn knight drew a pale, long, and narrow sword. The thing was a child's toy compared to the massive blade that x used, but sothing told to be prepared.
"I just want to be able to protect the girls and be the strongest in the world. Is that too much to ask for?" I asked as I brought my sword up, and that probably saved my life.
White and red sparks filled the air as Windorf slamd into from out of nowhere. I felt the force, but he only made slide back, but only a little bit.
Once I got my footing, I was able to shove the Air Knight back, and I held my sword up as the Elental landed gently on the ground and then put his sword away. That was close, but I was ready now, and I wouldn't be caught like that again, I hoped.
"You can co tomorrow after you go through the training with the other three, but properly, or I'll just kill you next ti," Windorf said and then blew away like smoke on the wind.
I was confused about what had just happened. Did I win? Was it even a test? I guess being alive was my reward for passing...
"Well done, the chance is really on your side today! Well, now you have t your teachers, and you know what you have to do, so let's go see what the pack of fish faces are so worked up about," x said as he waved forward to follow him across the plateau.
Well, that one would be fun to deal with. I would have died if I had acted a second later, but I didn't, and that was what mattered.
"Is he always so abrupt?" I asked in confusion.
"Yes, but you will need to do more than just block him. Windorf is a Wind Elental, so do not fear hurting him, and go for the kill every ti you want to make any progress with him. That or he will just kill you out of boredom," x explained to , and I nodded, understanding what he ant; I needed to get stronger and faster.
x had warned that there was a chance that I could die, but the new strength that he had helped get helped as well. I would have never guessed that I was getting training from each visit.
"So, do you know why the Sahuagin are bothering your village?" I asked as we walked back into the forest, but x started to run, and I had to catch up.
"They constantly co and bother the villagers because their cute wite will only have anything to do with them once a year. The females have more scaled bodies, but they have female faces, and they are all beautiful, and they constantly cheat on them with other races. So, the Male Sahuagin mope, whine, and cry to anyone that will listen and everyone that won't! Lately, I have heard more about it, so I decided it was ti to check things out," x explained as we ran through the forest.
The sun was slowly starting to set, and it was getting darker bit by bit, but I could sll the ocean breeze as we got closer. I heard the waves before I even saw the water, and we ca out just as the sun was starting to touch the water.
The water was almost blinding as we ca out, and I had to put my hand up to block it. I could see a small village, and there were also two long floating docks, but the village only consisted of maybe ten huts.
Then I saw the group of sorry souls. Maybe about fifteen bluish-green n were walking in circles, and all I could hear was bitching and moaning.
"Well, they seem more worked up than normal," x said as we started towards them, but the one noticed us.
"Oh Great Demon, Lord x! OOO, HOOO, HOOO! Barracuda n ca and took all our won! OOO, HOOO, HOOO! And they took Missy too! OOO, HOOO, HOOO! The fish-faced Sahuagin cried, making horrible crying noises, and then x turned to .
"Looks like I have another job for you," x said with a grin that made want to punch him in the kisser.
