Elven Princess

After Atalan and Astrid collected their items, they split the rewards at the guild for each of them to get half as to get the pounds, or Ecuro for their earnings and be happy as they get some food, though, Astrid was still thinking about the thing they talked about before and was still concerned about it.

Astrid:" what you did was careless"

Atalan:" well... for what it's worth, I usually hunt monsters like that alone almost all the time"

Astrid:" WHAT"

Atalan:" yeah, as a hunter, I need to hunt game like that all the time to survive, it's my livelihood as a hunter"

Astrid:" we're both girl's, so please act like it"

Atalan:" actually, I'm a guy"

Astrid was confused as she wanted proof, then she out of curiosity groped him between his leg's as she felt his manhood as he let out a sequel from the sudden grab, she then had a look on her face and then asked him for something.

Astrid:"... wow, that's amazing, and this has been nice... hey, can we go somewhere and do something"

Atalan:" sure, what is it"

after eating their snack's, Astrid brings him to a forest area where she had him lay down as she got on top of him and started rubbing her private part's on his stomach as she seemed to hold her voice down as she seemed to be getting wet, as Atalan wasn't sure what she was doing, so he let this happen.

Atalan:" umm... are you wetting yourself a little"

Astrid:" (clenching voice) just (huffing) let this (huffing) happen, I'm (huffing) close"

Atalan had no idea what she was doing, but she seemed to be enjoying it as she was shaking and drooling as she was doing this.

Atalan:" close to what"

Astrid:" (moaning voice) it does (huffing) feel better (huffing) with a man (huffing) instead of a bed pole

Atalan had no idea what she was doing and after she seemingly wet herself, they dried off as he asked her what she was doing.

Astrid:" well... you see... I saw my older sister do something, so I copied her with a bed pole, and it felt good, I also listened in on some adult's and they said having someone cute and handsome makes you feel better, I don't trust men, but you are nice and I think you're handsome as a guy, so... was it alright"

Atalan:"... alright, but let's not get our clothes wet next time"

Atalan's thought's:" I have no idea what she's doing, but I'll play along with it"

after 2 month's, these 2 have bonded more and more, Astrid continues to do that hump thing, and after some time, she is far more expressive of herself from before, going from seemingly shy and closed off to very energetic and happy, even going as far as to spar in hand to hand combat at times, Astrid improving little by little, though, this didn't last long as this time, a man kidnapped them both as he was a level 4. the 2 were brought to the castle as Atalan was trying to get out, but Astrid seemed very scared, asking why they were being brought, he was in front of the elf king of Lothlódolin himself, Alfred Von AdaraTitania, and their, he made his statement.

Alfred:" so this is him"

Soldier:" yes your highness"

Atalan:" listen, I don't know why you took us, your majesty, but we didn't d anything wrong, at least not to receive this much attention"

Alfred:"... you mean you don't know little girl"

Atalan:" I'm a boy, but no"

ignoring Atalan's first comment for a moment while still wondering why he was wearing girl clothes, he then asks for Atalan to find any similarities from him and Astrid, he saw right away they had the same color hair and eye's, then it hit him, Astrid was the daughter of the king and princess of Lothlódolin, now he understood why she always wore a hood.

Atalan:" I get it now, but Astrid, why didn't you tell me you were a princess"

Astrid:"... because any time I tell the kid's my age that, they stay away out of fear of angering me, or are intimidated by my status... I just wanted a friend"

Alfred:" as you see, she is a noblewoman, so if you would please not badly influence her, that would be desired young... man, I will not hold you accountable as you seemed to not know, but don't come near her again"

Astrid was about to break to tear's as she may have lost her first honest friend, and after all the time they spent together, she grew attached to him and didn't want him to go, but then Atalan said something nobody predicted.

Atalan:" I don't care about that, Astrid's still Astrid, right, so who cares if she's a princess or not"

the people around were shocked, but his comment also sparked some of their fuses as they respected the royal elf family to a T, and didn't take anything from anyone, including outsiders and beings of another race, making some of the elves in that room yell at him for not respecting the royal family, but the king halted their claims and asked him a question.

Alfred:" alright, if I said that you had to complete a task to be able to continue to see and play with my daughter again, would you do it"

Atalan:" only if it doesn't involve anything illegal, or end up hurting kind people needlessly"

Alfred:" so you're not willing to break law's to get what you want... good, alright, here's what you have to do, you're that child prodigy doctor, are you not"

Atalan:" I'm still a child, so I won't go as far as that, but yes"

Alfred then led him in a room where Astrid's mother, queen Hellena Von AdaraTitania, she was sick and no matter the doctor, they couldn't find what was wrong with her, his task to be able to play with Astrid again was simple, cure his wife, a seemingly impossible task as she was sick for over 4 year's, though, Atalan asked if he could move his hand's around her body to check the condition, the elven nobles were quick on refusing such a request, child or not, a man other than the king cannot touch the queen's body, however, the queen allowed it if it meant helping cure her illness even a little at this point, so after he got permission, he started with her left arm, he stocked his hand's around her arm's carefully and slowly as if to find anything odd, the queen had no scar's and no out of place bump's, so they though this was a waste of time, however, he found something and asked a question.

Atalan:" tell me, what happened the day before you were sick queen Hellena"

Hellena:" that's an odd question... I was out hunting to make sure my skill's with a bow were sharp when I fell and cut my arm, why"

Atalan:"... I see, then I'll get some anesthetics to numb the pain, forceps to remove an object, a pan to put it in, and these herbs"

giving them a list, they got the herb's as he operated on the queen, while the anesthetics were effective, she still felt a slight discomfort as Atalan said this would be a moment as he seemed to remove something from her arms and placed it in the pan, though he went in again and removed 3 more object's, they were very small and when the queen's maid's looked, they were nearly pebbles, then the herb's came and after 10 minutes, he made 2 potions as he asked the queen to drink one and than put the other in a rag to cover over her arm that was cut open, then asked her to sleep, Atalan stayed the night as he said this should be enough after morning came, queen Hellena woke up and without her realizing, she stood up by herself, she was shocked and felt healthy again, she screamed as her maids came immediately after and to find the queen was well, Atalan was in front of the king again beside the queen as the king thanked him for curing his wife.

Alfred:" I think you child, tell me, what was the cause of my wives sickness"

Atalan:" oh, the pebble's in her arm, my king, you know of the poison Heudious, right"

Alfred:" of course, every elf is aware of the poisonous in the Thermo Flower, it's a poison that kills elves slowly, but my wife didn't go near that flower"

Atalan:" true, the hunting area she went to doesn't have those flowers, however, your majesty, are you aware that Heudious isn't only in the Thermo flower, but a few other items as well"

the elves were shocked as this was new to them, since elves can't come close to this flower and the other races are unaffected by it, not much is known about this, but this is shockingly scary for them.

Atalan:" I could list 5 other thing's they come on, but one of them is a special type of rock, and they come from a rock with shimming color's of blue and gold, such as these rock's I got out of your wives arm's yesterday, I assume she's an adventurer with high resistance"

Hellena:" I'm a level 5"

Atalan:" your resistance kept you alive, however, it couldn't stop the poison from affecting your body, and since it was the rock, while it's not as strong as the flower or mold with this poison, it's longevity is scarier as it would have lasted as long as these rocks were still in your arm"

Hellena:" so that's what it was... but... how did you tell there was something in her arm's, the other doctors didn't notice"

Atalan:" but I'm a hunter, and as a hunter, I have to feel the ground to feel even the vibration's of ant's walking, and as such, my senses are stronger, I saw a small disfigurement in your arm, so I needed permission to check it, then after feeling where it was, I knew their were pebbles in them, so after removing them, I gave you medicine to help dispel and fight off the poison naturally"

they were amazed at his skill's, and since he was so good, he was asked to stay in their castle as long as he wanted, even receive some training in swordsmanship and spearmanship from the same people training Astrid, he also learned other thing's like educates, elven history, and social structure, such as how elves grow up in an environment solely on how one's status defies them, they see themselves as superior to all other races, though this is backed up since they are a formidable force in combat, they are stronger and faster than human's, and while they aren't able to outrun werewolves or outmuscle dwarf's, they are able to keep up with them for a time, so if they finish a fight fast, they can win, though, they are glass cannons as elves are not the most durable of races, they are however driven and dedicated, in some cases, once they commit to something, it's almost impossible to stop them, the royal family composed of high elves, and they are special, even if they have a human spouse, they will still give birth to pure high elves, despite less of who the birthing parents race is, the exception is a Amazonian as the biology is much stronger, he has learned a lot, however, a year has past and Artemis came to pick him up, asking what happened between the time he's been their when they weren't their.

Artemis:" I guess with your fast learning, a month sounded right, so, you were accepted as the elven royal families head doctor after curing the sickness the queen was under, even helping her have her child just 2 day's before we got her, that's very impressive, her disease was said to be incurable, but I guess that was only on the surface, wasn't it"

Atalan:" ... yes, I can never unsee what I saw"

he was going to leave, but not before Astrid could kiss him on the lip's and tell him to come back again, and promise she will be more honest about herself, and after that, Atalan was dumbfounded as he asked Artemis for what happened and she had was only silent on their trip.
