"Helvi? What a weird name!" Cecelia chuckled,
"I know, but I like it!" Helvi smiled at her,
All the dark elves and Helvi walked back into the village when they entered the village behind a rocky ridge, Helvi was left astonished, houses on every tree, small wooden houses, everybody had nice clothes made from fiber plants.
When Helvi entered the village, a strange silence stretched in the forest, everybody was staring at Helvi and her dirty appearance, she flinched a bit and tried to cover herself with her hands.
Suddenly an elderly lady elf treated at her with swift footsteps, she was glaring arrows at her with her sharp eyes, Helvi took a step back but it was too late,
"Maybe I should just…" Helvi closed her eyes in nervousness,
"My what a lenient child! Winter is going to be on the door and look at her, roaming around showing all this skin! Aren't you bold? Here, cover yourself!"
The old elf covered with a shawl and to her legs, the Helvi was a bit perplexed with this.
"My what a cute girl? Where are you from?"
"Oh my, it's been a long time since we found a child like her!"
"Have you eaten anything? Look at you, such a skinny body Celci, take her to my home!"
The horde of women and elders gathered around, Helvi didn't know how to react but she was happy, she looked down and smiled, hiding her face,
"Aight, grandma Lele." Cecelia tapped on Helvi's shoulder and smiled, it felt reassuring to Helvi and a strange feeling of security around them.
'Maybe, they will accept us…' with the guilty and hope-filled heart she nodded at Cecelia.
Cecelia took her to that old elf home, it was a bit far from the village center and quite isolated, Cecelia was walking behind Lele, and Helvi was staggering with the roots that pierced out from the earth, the trees in that forest was huge, the canopy above their head was dense enough to stop the noon's sun rage.
The cold feeling that felt almost as if your soul was walking out leaving your body took Helvi to a strange trance of calmness.
"We are here…" Lele pointed at a big tree trunk with a small gate in it in front of them.
Lele walked to the door, unlocked it, and walked in with Cecelia and Helvi, Helvi was still a bit hesitant but Lele grabbed her wrist and made her sit on the small wooden chair with a cushion of soft in her, Cecelia chuckled and sat on the chair beside her.
"Cecelia, have you eaten anything?" Lele sat on the armchair in front of them,
"Nope! Well, we did go hunting but found her instead." She pointed at Helvi and she started sweating in cringe guilt.
"What can we do then?" Lele sighed with Cecelia,
"Aight, good job on finding her, now cook her." Lele gawked at Helvi with pure evil in her eye, Helvi froze on her chair with the smile she had on her face…
"Well then, you'll be our dinner tonight, don't struggle or it will hurt!" Cecelia pulled out her knife, and pointed at Helvi…
Helvi stood up crying and creeping away from them…
"Don't eat me! I am not…..tasty! Please! Let me go! I swear….. I'll….hunt you in your…..place! Ok if you are going to eat me please don't make a spicy dish, I can't bear spicy food!"
Suddenly Cecelia broke into laughter,
"Hahaha! What a cute reaction! I can't bear spicy food… ( imitating her)
What kind of person asks to be a cook as per their taste!" Cecelia was dying with laughter, Lele smiled at Helvi,
"We were just teasing you, don't worry."
"But she was way too cute, I retreat laughing now, should've teased her for a bit longer, now grandma why don't you cook something sweet for her and something spicy for me, I need to-"
"I didn't joke about 'now cook' part, shut your trap and get your ass in the kitchen, make some sweet custard for me and her, and cook whatever you want with the ingredients in the kitchen."
"Tch! I knew it, you lure young girls of the village to your house to cook for you. Why don't you try to live with me, close to the village so that young elf can take care of you-" Cecelia wasn't finished and an apple was shot and she was knocked out on the floor.
"Why don't you find a good husband then! Idiot grandchild! When I was your age I already had given birth to your 4th, 5th, 6th aunt, and 3rd and 4th uncle! I am worried nobody will take a muscular girl like you as a bride!"
"Why did you say? Just because you had a bunch of kids doesn't mean you were feminine, that means grandpa and you had nothing to do but fool around! I ain't feminine? Ha! I bet you were flat just like you in your young-"
a sharp knife grazed Cecelia's cheeks and struck the wall behind her, leaving a terror in her eyes,
"I dare you, you complete what you were about to say…" the look in Lele's eyes sent a shiver to both Cecelia and Helvi.
"So! A fruit custard! You got that!" Cecelia ran off to the kitchen while Helvi was in the corner trying not to make eye contact with her.
Lele called Helvi and made her sit next to her, while Cecelia was cooking, Lele asked Helvi about her and her past,
She told her parents died due to an illness and she left her village to live a new life, but soon she realized she was still too young to be on her own.
"What is your age?"
"I am still about 36 years old." Helvi averted her gaze from Lele, and the food arrived on the table.
They ate and left together for the village to get some necessities for her, the crowd welcomed her again, and this time many elders gathered around her.
"What a cute girl! Wish I had a daughter like you!"
"I know right! I wanna take her home with me!"
"Tell me, young lady, are you single? Why don't you marry my son, he is still 176 years old and refuses to marry, I am sure he is still a virgin who never even touched a girl besides her sisters and me."
"Mother I am right here…" most of the villagers looked at the elf with pity.
"No need, she'll live with me, I decide to care for her and make her cook for me, it's a hassle these days." Lele patted her head.
Helvi looked at her with her eyes wide open but lowered.
"Aww! Guess my son will die a virgin, I haven't even heard of an elf who remained a virgin for a century at most, guess my son will be famous."
"Mom…" the village was consoling him.

Helvi and Lele went back to the home, and in a short while, both of them went to sleep.
But in the middle of the night, Lele noticed something, Helvi sneaked out of the house hiding something in cloth but returned before dawn.
Lele didn't ask about it, and Helvi acted normally and slowly6 months went by, she was a cheerful girl happily roaming around in the house without causing many problems and with the same routine, but something strange happened one day, Helvi sneaked out and didn't return in the morning.
Lele waited for her and during the dusk, she heard a knock on the door. Lele opened it and saw Helvi drenched in sweat. She had a small deer cub in her hand.
"Where were you for the whole day?" Lele remained calm and gave her a towel and warm soup.
"I went for a morning walk and found a deer herd injured in the forest. One of them was very wounded and this cub had a strong fever, and her mom too, but I was not able to bring her home." Helvi lowered her gaze, petting the cub gently.
"I see, so what do you want? medicine?" Lele glared at her.
"Yes! I'll return as soon as I can after I treat her!" Helvi brightened up.
Lele went to her storage and grabbed a bottle of medicine, she was actually the one the eldest witch of the village, she taught many as a teacher along with Cecelia, she also taught Helvi some basic spells and created normal potions except medical ones.
She came to Helvi with a small bottle of potion inside it and gave it to Helvi,
"Here, take it."
"Thank you so much! I will return shortly!" Helvi picked up the bottle and rushed to the door.
"Before that a small heads up for you…" Lele said out loud, Helvi halted with an open door.
"Yes, grandma Lele?" She turned to her with a smile.
"I only used it on the Dark Elfs, so while giving it to humans please make sure to dilute it with water, with the proportion of 1:8."
Helvi's smile faded away and she closed the door, slowly she took out a small blade and pointed at Lele,
"Arara! What a scary look you got there…"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Helvi? What a weird name!" Cecelia chuckled,
"I know, but I like it!" Helvi smiled at her,
