Counter attack

The promised day has come and everyone in the village were all nervous, sad and down as they know the consequences of not meeting the agreement amount of weapon with the elves. Trakara also filled me in with what happen in the past. According to her, dwarfs and the elves were once living without care to each other's race then soon the elves decided to wage a war between their races because of the dwarves advance in terms of weapon and technology. The dwarves that time fought leaving behind the half of their race to hide, then a few hundred years has gone by, her great grandfather tried to fought head on with the elves after hiding in the caves and hidden places like valleys. The dwarves were defeated and then the survivors made a contract to make a weapon they require in exchange to spare them and which lead them to the current situation. Trakara didn't want me to get into their affairs and to know the whole story of their problem that she called the elves as illegal adventures or should i say bandidits in the first place. The whole village's finished weapon were barely reach the agreement even with trakara's sword and fakes, so i added more using alchemy to replicate the swords. Everyone came back to their hiding place except for me, trakara and Grain, her father. I disguised as one of them using illusion magic and send a clone of me to the forest where i made so many traps then Grain suddenly said, "You'll be a elder dwarf for now or they'll be suspicious of you and i don't know any other of your origin."

An hour later, the leader of the elves came with his soldiers and archers about a few dozens of them. The soldier's clothes were made from metals similar to a knight in a fantasy game, an archer's clothing is a crop top a chain mail underneath and fitted pair of pants. The leader wears a clothing similar to a noble's clothing in the book that i have read in the past. The air around them is overwhelming and they look at us as if they can read us like a book. The leader walks towards us and then ignorantly say, "So where's the weapon that we agreed to?" Trakaea and Grain shivers from the anger they felt. I saw how imitated Trakara's father is then i said, "It's behind us, we already checked the amount of the weapons before so you can immediately get those." The leader then smiled and said in sadistic manner, "oh how amusing it is to see your bravery despite being a blacksmith slave of my race. I bet you guys didn't even complete the agreement amount of weapon that i requested previously." We don't know what to say, as we mixed it with fake swords and swords made from my magic. Trakara clench her hand then said with a shaky voice," We manage to forge three hundred swords like you require us to." The leader smirked and walked around us then said, "how come there's someone who isn't even a dwarf. All i know that the dwarfs are stubborn, once they decide on thing they won't be backing up or change their minds. Unless a human where able to suggest a better solution than them." He looked at us with doubts and anger. I could feel his emotions just from his eyes then suddenly a loud scream of multiple people came from outside of the gate in the village. The leader ordered his remaining soldiers with him, while they're distracted i casted earth pit about twenty yards radius and wind storm to gather them in one place then i cancelled my illusion magic. The leader pointed his hand at me while crawling and said angrily as if he lost his own reasoning, "How come you're not a dwarf like them? My hunch is telling me that you made this plan, i can't tell which or what you did next but i'm warning you as the leader the second command group that next time you won't be walking with your heads up." I looked at him and he reminded me of someone in the story who always says cliche script which made me feel embarrassed as to how i wanted to become that person but its as good thing i didn't do that. I intently stared at him and smiled then i said," i may be a human that you sometimes despites but i am living that way i wanted, earning things, saving up, having a family and seeing things till last is a beauty in our lives. I am also pleased to think about elves and dwarfs living in harmony togather with other races." The elves were left flaflabbergasted as i left them. From the books i have read, it said that each and every races lived separately ever since the world was created while a few sets of couples from different races lived a life isolated. This kind of mindset has stayed that way as nobody remembered when it started.

I went to the forest where the scream came from. I hid from one tree to another until i reached the place where i placed most of the traps. Most of them are knocked out, paralysed and trapped in a big pit. It's a good thing to not cause any bloodshed or it'll be a big nightmare for al of us. And so i continued to stop the remaining soldiers in a rampant because of their leader being way more stubborn than the dwarves he talked of. I returned back to the village after i tied up all of the unconscious soldiers. As i am about to go back next to the big earth pit with their leader in it, i saw trakara together with Grain bickering with someone from the pit. The leader then yelled out of frustration and anxiously, "Are you there now human? Quickly get me out of here, i can't stand this embarrassment anymore." I laughed for a bit then i replied, "I'll help you but you must cancel the contract you made with for them and create a new contract that your race and their race, will live harmoniously and won't hurt each other." Trakara stared at me like a sharp knife, doubting about me. I may not have experienced those hardship they endured but i know its very hard and unbearable experience. The leader grit his teeth and broke a pocket sized crystal with his bare hands, then he said, "Someone higher than me will be coming here to settle what you wanted. So let's wait for her to arrive since she is somewhere nearby."
