"Ohhh we have some clothes you can change into if you'd like . . . . " Grace said heading to a wardrobe pulling out a top and shorts .
"Nah it's okay . . . I have some back in my room . " I replied .
"Sure no worries . " She replied putting the clothes back in her wardrobe .
"By the way what happened with the pearl? . . "Helen asked .
"Ohhhh . . . Professor Meha said that it's rare to have no reaction, but it shouldn't hinder me at all . " I replied .
"That's awesome!" Helen and Daisy replied with a smile .
Pulling out his wand Jay closed his eyes whispering something pointing it at the bullseye Grace was practicing on . Suddenly two runic circles appeared in the air beside him shooting out a flaming dagger striking the target .
"That's pretty cool!" I shouted to him .
"Flame knives! Not bad!" Helen smiled .
"Not bad! . . . " Daisy smiled, and began pointing at the bullseye with her index finger, suddenly a bolt of light shot out her finger also striking the target, but also illuminating it .
"Show offs . . . " Grace mumbled walking to collect her daggers .
"Can I take a look at your book? . . please . . " I asked Jay .
"Sure!" He said closing it and chucking it towards me .
"Thanks!" I replied catching it .
"So Helen and Grace . . . how bad is the war between the Elves and Orcs? . . . " Jay asked .
"Luckily while we was growing up there wasn't any large battles, just some raiding parties . " Helen explained .
"If you don't mind me asking is there a reason there's a conflict between your races? . . . . " Jay asked .
"We don't actually know . . . . . They refuse any form of diplomacy and savagely attack and pillage innocent Elven settlements . " Helen answered .
"What of Orcs outside of tribes or Half orcs? . . " Jay asked .
"Well those Orcs have denounced their connection to any Orc tribe so they are viewed as Traitors, and well Half Orcs are also seen as a disgrace to their race, so I guess they are peaceful . " Grace answered .
"Interesting . . . . " Jay replied .
"What is your view on them?" Helen asked Jay .
"Hmmmm . . . Humans are the same, there has been news of human settlements also pillaged from Goblin and Orc raids . " Jay replied .
"How about the relationship between Elves and Humans? . . " I asked curiously .
"We aren't officially allies, just a mutual understanding, as long as humans do move into or invade Elven boarders then we are at peace and our doors are open for trade . " Helen explained .
"There has been some human settlements allowed to reside inside our lands, but its extremely rare . " Grace added .
"Ohhh I remember seeing a woman with long flowing red hair and Antlers on her head . . . what's that? . . " I asked .
"Ohhh that's an Elf, specifically a high noble Wood Elf . . . . " Helen answered .
"Wood Elves? . . . " I asked .
"Yeah so there's different Elves, Grace and I are High Elves, then there are Wood Elves and Moon Elves and Dark Elves . " Helen answered .
"Ohhh I see . . . . . And are Dark Elves bad? . . " I continued to ask .
"Dark Elves were Elves that were banished from our lands because they Worship a Dark Elven god . " Helen explained .
"Interesting . . . . . " I replied .
"Do they not teach Races and Diplomacy? In human schools? . . " Grace asked .
"My parents were pretty poor and couldn't afford school for me . " I replied .
"I'm so sorry . . . " Grace instantaneously apologized to me .
"It's okay . . . . " I replied to her .
"So any idea what tomorrows lessons will be about? . . . " I asked .
"Tomorrow will generally be about training physically and then after lunch we will go out as a year group to somewhere . " He replied .
"Ohhhh . . . . . " I answered .
"To be honest I don't see why I'm forced to train combat skills when I'll just be using spells . " Helen sighed .
"Because it's also important to be trained in melee combat . " Grace explained
"Yup for example like me . . . where I can go toe to toe and use spells if needed . " Daisy added .
"I dunno I feel time will be better spent learning and practicing more difficult and higher level spells . . " Jay said .
"Yup I agree . . . " Helen said with a nod .
"By the way . . . . How comes Daisy and Paul can cast without a wand or staff?" I asked .
"Wow how did I not notice that? . . . How comes you can cast without a Spell focus? . . . " Jay asked Daisy .
"Whats a spell focus? . . " I asked .
"It's something that allows us to channel Arcanum through so we use wands and Helen has a Staff . " Jay answered .
"Ohhhh I see . . . " I replied .
"Well . . . . . When I began learning Holy and Divine magic . . . I first used a Holy symbol . . . . but eventually I didn't need it . . . but I got a feeling it has got something to do with my tattoos . " Daisy answered showing us her tattoos along her arms and legs .
"Ohhh I see . . . . " Jay replied .
"That's pretty cool!" Helen said .
"It's useful . . . . " Daisy replied with a giant smile .
"So was you born with the tattoos? . . . " I asked curiously
"Ummmm I dunno actually, I haven't seen anyone with tattoos like these and I've had them as long as I can remember . " Daisy answered .
"Interesting . . . . . " Jay said looking curious and interested .
"Did you guys leave a lot of friend coming here? . . . " I asked .
"Not really . . . " Jay replied .
"There weren't any girls my age living at the church . . . " Daisy answered me frowning .
"Hmmmm . . . . . We left quite a lot of friends and family, everyone in Elven communities are quite close . . . but after deciding to leave . . . . we were shunned for turning away from our duties to follow our dreams . . . . " Helen answered .
"Lucky we met each other than!" I replied .
"Did you leave much behind?" Grace asked me .
"Yeah I left a lot . . . Mum, Dad, Brother Sister, many friends . . . . " I frowned .
"You can always visit them if you miss them alot . " Grace smiled .
"Yeah . . . " I replied faking a smile . . .
"Ohh by the way could I borrow the Scrying Orb for a little bit Jay? . . " I asked .
"Yeah sure lemme just go get it quickly I won't be long . " He said standing up .
"Ohhh lets have a sleep over! so get changed into your sleeping clothes . . . !" Helen shouted to him before he left the room .
"Ohh a sleep over sounds awesome! I'll go get changed as well" I replied .
"Don't worry you can borrow some of mine!" Grace said .
"So any boy caught your eye? . . " Grace said walking to her wardrobe to get the clothes .
"Who me? . . . " I replied my voice sounding a little higher in surprise .
"Yeah . . . you know the gossip going around . . Just wondering if it was true . . . " Grace asked .
"What gossip?" I asked seeking clarification that they were talking about Paul .
"You know . . . Words been spreading like wild fire that Paul has the hots for you . " She said pulling out a set of clothes for me .
"I really doubt that . . . " I replied .
"Well . . . you do seem to be the only person he interacts with outside his team members . . . " Helen added .
"Well he hasn't asked me out or anything . . . . . " I replied .
"Ohhhh . . . okay . . . " they both responded sounding a little less excited .
"He saved my life once . . . " Daisy replied out the blue .
"Woah?!!! really?!!" We all responded in excitement .
"Ohhh Ohhhh wait wait . . . lemme get changed first . . . . " I said quickly grabbing the clothes from Grace and quickly ran into the room Helen exited with wet hair earlier to get changed quickly . Changing into the top and shorts Grace lent me I quickly noticed that it was extremely soft and almost weightless . "What material is this? . . " I shouted from the bathroom .
"Elven Linen . " Helen replied .
"How is it so light and warm? . . . " I asked them stepping out the bathroom .
"It's a special property with Elven Linen . It also keeps you cool when it's hot . " Helen added .
"Wow . . I need to get some of these . . . " I replied and jumped on the bed excited to hear Daisy's story . Curious to hear what he's been up to after our breakup and fight . . . .
"So do you want the details? . . or just the brief outline?" She asked .
"DETAILS!" The rest of us screamed .
