The wolf's den

Yadha DAKHAT

For what ? Why must I be the only one saved? Big sister why did you sacrifice for me?

I would have liked it to be me who was taken hostage, I would have liked not to see my brothers being devoured before my eyes.

To think that the blood of these filthy creatures flows through my veins disgusts me to the highest degree.

Millions of questions swirled through my head, I wiped away my tears with one hand trying not to look too shabby.

After all I am Yadha Dhakat the captain of the Dhakat clan guard, as long as I am alive I will find a way to save them.

Or at least that's what I tried to believe, right now I'm forced to serve as vanguard for an entire clan through this cursed forest and we were heading towards a clan that belongs to me. hostile.

Even if my clan could have suffered this bad fate, taking refuge in an enemy clan would not be a good idea, especially for the Ibara clan, where their leaders maintain a friendly relationship with that of the Orleth clan.

"That damn unicorn" I groaned in my mind, as the image of the Orleth clan leader appeared in my mind.

"He will probably want to kill me," I muttered, "since I will be alone, he will not miss the opportunity to finish off my clan for good."

No, I won't let myself be killed so easily, the sacrifices of my brothers and sisters would not be in vain, I will avenge them.

I closed my eyes for a moment, chasing away the unwanted thoughts that were coming to my head.

I felt a hand rest on my shoulder, I turned my head and saw Viola, the young elf was standing behind me stroking my shoulders to reassure me.

Her graceful figure, she held her bow firmly in her hands...

Her golden eyes lit up every time she gave me a smile, just with her sweetness I could chase away all my daydreams.

"Lord Cain said he would talk about it with the patriarch of the Ibara clan, you shouldn't worry about it, we refuse almost nothing to the elven clan and the dwarves" she reassured me.

"But still, if it turns out this unicorn can influence the judgments of Chief Akumu." I replied, speeding up my steps.

"You kept calling him a unicorn, do you see him as an inferior race?" She asked me, looking doubtful.

No, no, hell no I never thought like that, it's just that my clan and his have been enemies since before the territorial war"" I retorted "we were insulting each other in many ways. "»

Despite our differences, we have rules that prohibit contempt for other races.

-We're in the same basket-

Since humans despise us we cannot do like them and the elves were the first to vote for this rule so reacting like this in front of them is like asking to be slandered.

She simply nodded, her dull, emotionless eyes giving me chills every time our eyes met.

I wanted to add something… but I swallowed my words.

After a few minutes of walking we finally arrived, the Ibara clan welcomed us pleasantly, the chief in particular made sure that I was treated well, perhaps it was because Sir Cain had spoken to him?

I wonder how The Unicorn would react since his best friend is harboring an enemy.

"I'd rather not think about it," I said to myself, and shook my head, wanting to chase away these useless thoughts.

Even if he would like to fight me there is no way for me to lose against him, I am a cocked hat I am several times stronger than him, unless he attacks with his companions I will be able to defend myself.

At least, that's what I thought.
