" REUNION "

I stared at her for some time, I couldn't believe I was looking at a human girl.

- What are you waiting for? - she said. - Get me out!

I was still procesing what had happened when Luka and John came in the room.

John froze in the entrance.

- M-Mindy..? - he said.

The girl stared at John.

- Uncle..

I analized the situation and came to realise that the girl was John's lost niece. Of course, Luka didn't know what was going on. They gazed at eachother in silence.

John went up to the cell and opened it.

The girl left the cage and they stared at eachother once again. Then they hugged eachother.

I wasn't sure what to do, just standing there in the middle of the room. Luka was in the entrance, very confused with all the little creatures standing behind him.

I took Luka by his hand and we went to the second room ( the middle ). I explained everything to him and let John and Mindy have a moment.

I'm happy I did that then and not later, because we could hear them fighting after a couple of seconds.

- Is mom okay? - asked the middle child of Elizabeth, age six.

- Yes, she is, little one. - said Luka.

- Who's the girl? - asked the eldest.

- Well, she is human. I geuss she's one of us, chosen ones.. - I said.

- Good! I was getting mad there's only guys! - said the eldest. - How do we get back?

- We're still working on that... - I said. - But-

- Wait! - Luka interrupted me. - Are you guys hungry? Did the elves feed you?

- Yeah, they did. - said one of the little creatures who apeared to be the oldest out everyone including Elizabeth's kids. About seventeen or somethig like that. - Not much though. Unlike the human girl. They gave her meals regulary and she was already here when we arrived. Also, I think we should get going.

Damn, the teen was right! I completely forgot that we were in the enemie's kingdom right now.

As I was about to go open the third room door, to see how they're doing and tell the two he should go, John

opened the door and hit me.

- Whoops. Sorry. Anyway, this is Mindy, everyone. Apparently seven years ago she went to the laundromat and fell in the portal, got kidnapped in the forest shortly before the first war I've witnessed began. She's my neice and together we will save your village! - he said with determination.

Everyone cheered but I hushed them down mid way.

- The elves could get here any second! - I said. - I don't have a watch, but I'm geussing we've been here for at least fifteen minutes.

I'm glad we finally got to floor 0, considering the fact that the elves fed Mindy meals and it was afternoon.

I don't know at what time of the day elves eat dinner, but I'm pretty sure afternoon is a normal time.

We got out of the entrance to the underground, but that's when we realised there's a whole croud of us.

Sixteen in total, Twelve little creatures and four humans.

- Oh God, now what?!?! - I panicked.

- Stay quiet! - John hissed. - Follow me.

I'm not sure how, but we made it to the exit.

Most of the elves were on the higher floors, because that's where all the rooms were. The Kingdom of dark elves was like a huge hotel, with a dining room and all those rooms,

where citizents lived in.

There was 14 floors in the " hotel ".

A lot! The dargons were kept outside, but the more dangerous ones were located on the last floor.

I personally think it would be smarter if they kept them on floor -2, not 14.

But that's not for me to decide.

We got out and saw King Thard flying towards us with a few other winged lions.

NOTE FROM AUTHOR:

Ight, before I allow you to read the next chapter, I deeply apologise for that cringey and vogue reunion scene.

I have never written anything like that before.

In comics, yeah. Many times. Its way easier in comcs.

So I'm sorry for being such an author, enjoy the rest of the book :D
