Helvi, level, and Cecelia stepped back, the chief guard was standing at the door with the rest of the team.
"Supreme guardian, may I ask what are you doing in my house?" Lele claimed herself.
"Haha… I was just here to check up on you, but guess you have kept so many secrets from us." The chief stepped forward,
"Lefeatan, I want to take your team and get out of my house, we are having a family meeting here." Lele stood in front of Helvi and Cecelia glaring at them.
"I am afraid I can't do that, Cecelia you are a proud warrior of this village you shouldn't keep secrets from us." Lefeatan was staring at them, the other members freed their mana,
"Helvi you too, we thought you were like our family, we didn't think you would do this to us."
"Chief, please listen to us! It's not their fault please let's give them a chance-" Cecelia came forward, guarding Helvi,
"Silence!" Lefeatan shouted, "move aside, no matter what you say, it won't change the fact, you broke the rules of the village by bringing a human in."
Helvi was anxious and trembling, Lele stayed calm while Cecelia was in turmoil, she felt the most guilty, and she couldn't keep it in for much longer.
Cecelia walked forward to Lefeatan with her clenched fist and muttered,
"She is in the next room, that human girl is sleeping there."
"Cecelia!" Lele yelled and marched to her,
"Grandma Lele! I would advise you to stay there, and cooperate with us! Don't worry we will take any immediate action, but don't make things harder for us!"
Helvi's heart was thumping in her chest, her mind was losing sanity, she couldn't bear it much longer, she had no choice but to protect her in her mind that was the only thing she was thinking.
And her rage exploded with her mana, everything in her home shook and fell down, everyone was overwhelmed with her presence and Lele almost lost her consciousness, it was overbearing for everyone.
Lefeatan was flabbergasted, he never felt the mana of this level in his whole life, but he came prepared for this,
"Geodis!" Lefeatan shouted and her subordinate joined her hands,
[ MAGIA NOURISHER! ]
[ DEVOUR! ]
She canted and the sealing talisman outside, which were laid by the team earlier activated a barrier consuming all her mana.
The chaos silenced in moments leaving Helvi stunned, she couldn't think straight and picked up a knife nearby and pointed Lefeatan.
"No! Stay away! I beg you please let us go! We mean no harm! I had no intentions to fool you and hurt you all in any way! Please let my sister go! If you want to punish anyone-"
"Geodis…" Lefeatan uttered,
"Got that chief!"
[ MAGIA NOURISHER!
[ SLUMBER ]
she chanted and a high noise echoed in the forest from the talisman, knocking Helvi and Lele unconscious.

After a while, Helvi woke up and found herself sitting on the chair, her head was heavy and she was tearing,
"Please… leave her… she…"
"Helvi! Helvi!" She heard Lele calling her name, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Lele standing in front of her,
She jerked and stood up! She sat under the great tree of the village, where all of the village feasts and rituals were held.
Helvi was crying and desperate, she was scared and desperate, she was begging to see Melvi,
"Helvi!" A loud voice echoed from the high branch,
She turned her gaze and saw the eldest elf sitting there,
"Elder!" She looked around and saw the whole village gathered on the branches and looking down at Helvi
"I can't believe she lied to us!"
"We have done much for her and yet!!"
"How can she do this to us?"
The noises were stabbing Helvi's heart, Lele was helping her to be on her feet, but she couldn't bear it for longer,
"I am sorry! I am sorry! I kept this secret from you all! I didn't mean to use your kindness, I didn't mean to hurt anyone also, I was just scared.
I am a dark elf! But I also have a sister! She is still a small child! She doesn't know any good and evil, she doesn't know the meaning of race and color, she is just a child!
Even though she is half-human, she is still half-elf! So I beg you all, please! Let her go!
If you want to punish anybody please punish me!
I only came here to protect me and my sister from the humans! Who hunted for our day and night! I had no choice! Please I beg you to spare her life!
I just…
I just wanted her to have a-"
"Helvi calm down for a second!" Cecelia came from behind and snuggled Helvi, she was a mess in tears and anxiety.
"Helvi, it's alright! Please listen to what the elders have to say!"
"What do you-'' Helvi looked at her and then at the elder,
"Helvi, we dark elves take pride in our blood, we are children of the princess of Hell and God of Nature, we do have strict rules to protect our children and people, who have suffered for a long time.
But we aren't heartless enough to kill our savior dears, our pride doesn't allow that…'' The Elder walked down and she patted her head.
"Elder…" Helvi eyes glimmered in hope, and the old elder nodded with a chuckle,
"It's is true we are indiscriminate when it comes to protecting our children, but we also trust our family, what Lele told us, is something we were aware of all along, we knew who your father was it is the gift of dark elves, the eyes that see souls when their power bloom.
We thought you were just modest to hide the fact that you were his daughter, also it's true we hate humans, but not all of them. You see there are some humans we owe gratitude to but our pride doesn't let us do that.
So I guess this is the chance, we want to welcome you and your sister to the village, as our family!
We swear that until we are alive and have the blood of our father and mother in our veins we will help you to protect her, and protect you also!
So, don't worry, child! And stop crying!" The elder hugged Helvi,
She was speechless, she didn't understand what was going on, her heart was still racing,
"She is fine! Cecelia was taking care of her before we told her that we don't harm you, she was persistent that she would burn the whole village, aigoo she was really angry…" the elder looked at Cecelia and averted her gaze.
"Sister!" She heard Melvi calling her name, she moved her gaze to the branch and saw Melvi on top of Lefeatan's head, she was pulling his hair and laughing and waving at her.
"Melvi! Are you- are you okay?"
"Okay? Do you say? This kid has been pulling my hair since you were sleeping? Now my head is starting to hurt, she said she won't leave them until let her meet you, please save me from this devil child-"
"What did you say?!" Melvi pulled Lefeatan with all her might, shaking him like a mad bull.
"Please leave them, quit it! Helvi please!" Lefeatan down and Melvi climbed down too, she still had his strands of hair in her fist, and threw them away, and sprinted to Helvi.
"My beautiful hairs…" Lefeatan picked them up and cried
"Melvi…Melvi…" Helvi stood up and embraced Melvi in her arms sobbing all her worries away.
Everybody laughed and cried at that moment, but soon after they held a small banquet for them, they ate, they sang, they danced and celebrated,
That day the village and Lele's family grew larger.
Helvi and Melvi finally found a home, Melvi started to learn magic, under Lele, and Helvi took care of both of them.
They were finally happy, but this didn't last much longer.
– A year later –
Melvi was sleeping on her bed when a sudden quake shook her awake, everything in her room fell down with the shiver.
Helvi wasn't there, usually, she slept with her but she wasn't there anymore,
"Grandma! Sister!" She screamed and ran to Lele's room, but she also wasn't there.
Melvi was frightened and ran to the village to seek help, her heart was beating out of her chest while running to the village she heard the cries and felt the rising heat in the cold night burning her cheeks when she tried to get closer.
It was the village, it was burning, there was blood and ruins everywhere, the giant tree where she found a family was scorching, she looked closer and saw the elder crucified on the tree, she was left stunned as if her soul left her body.
"Melvi! Go away! Go! Hide!" Lefeatan called her, she followed the voice and saw Lefeatan skewered with crystal lances,
"Oh ho! What do we have here? A human child? What a disappointment! Well I guess, you could still please some men…" Melvi felt someone standing behind her, she couldn't turn she was afraid, she felt as if her death was standing behind her.
"You fucker! Don't you dare touch her-"
"Silence!" That man shouted and another spear pierced his head and Lefeatan died.
The sight filled Melvi in terror and she fainted…
"Sister…Help me"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Helvi, level, and Cecelia stepped back, the chief guard was standing at the door with the rest of the team.
