The Owner of the Inn

Elijah and Amelia are now facing imminent danger in their lives, and in front of them is Alexius confronting, a man. The man has silver-blonde hair with purple eyes, as his face is so beautiful that could make cities fall because of his beauty. He was an elf as his hair was tuck behind on his right ear, as emerald jewelry that hangs in his forehead gives a sense of an ethereal look.

He is currently smiling at Alexius as if unaffected by his stare, smiling like a beautiful holy angelic person. While Alexius held a cold and aloof beauty, staring down at the other person as if he was his worse enemy. This confrontation was going for an hour ago, and both are trembling like ducklings, as they watch on the sidelines. Waiting for one of them to make the next move.

Both of them gulp and as they prayed for their petty lives to live another day to see the daylight.

'Oh, Dear Goddess of Wisdom please hear my plea to see another day and let this moment pass as if nothing happen.' Elijah keeps rubbing his hands desperately to hear his plea to the Goddess as the nonexistent tears flowing out in his face.

'Oh sh*t! Oh, Holy MotherF**ker sh*t *********' For some stranger reasons Amelia is now ranting in her mind as if this is the day that she won't see another day in her life.

'How did we get into this situation.' are the thoughts running into their minds at this moment.

It was when they entered the building they were first greeted by someone as they guide us to the counter. They then waited in line at the counter when it was their turn to book an inn.

"You are quite strong for your age."

Suddenly Alexius draw his gun at someone's forehead both Elijah and Amelia were surprised by this situation. It was uncalled to suddenly point a weapon at someone unless it was an enemy of course. Both Elijah and Amelia also got into an attack position as they observe the person in front of them. The person in front of them was smiling and suddenly laugh at us. Elijah and Amelia are perplexed at the situation but the young man in front of them just continues laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Elijah angrily asks the man as he continues to point his knife at him.

"I am s-sorry it-it's just so funny to see your reactions." As he wipes the tears coming out from his eyes and stop laughing. He then straightens his back and clears his throat then shows his beautiful smile at them.

"My name is Kaileaf Northwind." As walks into the counter and look back at the three then smiled at them.

"Welcome to Iris of Emerald, I am the owner of this inn, pardon my earlier actions if you want I could offer you something in return?"

Which was returned by a glare from Alexius yet, the owner of the inn just blatantly ignore his stare. This continued for an hour as Elijah and Amelia are getting tired of the staring competition between the two. At first, they were nervous but as time continues on they are getting bored and tired.

"That's it!!! I can't do this anymore longer!" As Amelia huffs in anger and walks in towards Kaileaf and slams her hand.

"We would like to book 3 rooms for a week." Kaileaf then nods and started to type in a hologram then looks back at the group.

"That would be 6 650 zure coins." Amelia looks back at the two and opens her hand to them. Elijah and Alexius give 950 zure coins to Amelia and Amelia opens her wallet and paid it to Kaileaf.

"Here you go." As Kaileaf gives three keys they both pick up the keys as Kaileaf explains the map of the inn.

"Your room is located on the third floor you can use the elevator, the keychains attached to your keys are the number of the rooms where you are booked. Now if you lose the keys or misplaced you pay a fine of 10 000 zure coins. If you want to have a meal, we can deliver your meal to your rooms, with a charge of course. But if you don't want to, you can also dine on the first floor where you can order your meal. Thank you and have a good rest."

The three of them nod and started to walk towards the elevator, the elevator has runes on the door frames. They then entered the elevator and Amelia push the third-floor button. What they didn't know was that Kaileaf watches them entered the elevator. While the doors slowly closed Alexius noticed the face Kaileaf is making he was smiling at them. Waving at them 'it was creepy' are the thoughts of Alexius as the doors closed.

He has a mischievous smile painted on his face there was another customer calling out Kaileaf. His mischievous smile was switch back to a professional smile but the glimmer in his eyes didn't diminish.

As Alexius and the two arrived at the floor they exited from the elevator and look around the floor. The floor has a lobby in that lobby you can see the view of the big tree and the entire city. It was unexpected and it was mind-blowing the three of them enjoy the beautiful view in front of them. Amelia walks into the lobby as she took a sit as continue to mesmerize the beauty of this city. Elijah and Alexius take a seat on each side as they watch the scenery.

"Do you know what is that tree in front of us?" without taking her eyes away from the scene.

"For what I research its name is a Yggdrasil the tree of life, it was said that during the era of Time of Gods. It was planted by the Goddess of Wisdom to the creations who take cover from the nightmares." As Elijah explain from his communication device there was a silence around them. The atmosphere was harmonious as all three of them enjoy the scenery.

"It has been a long journey." As Amelia sighs remembering the events that have happened. Elijah also nods as he also sighs feeling a little bit tired.

"No...not yet." Both Amelia and Elijah looked back at Alexius he might not show it from his face but his eyes were darkening.

"This is only just the beginning."
