Will of chaos

Pov Eleanor’s:

I was drinking from a bottle on top of a tree when I saw the Gray Elf called Kira that accompanies that monstrosity, she was participating in combat training along with the two best Night Guardians of this place, at least not counting Nelson the Elf leader Gray on the Village Council and responsible for training the Night’s Watch.

“Why did you agree to train her?” (I)

“You know the answer.” (Nelson)

“I know, but we shouldn’t, she serves that monstrosity.” (I)

“It only shows that you were wise when you chose who to follow.” (Nelson)

“His reaction was very adequate considering the type of test we were doing.” (Nelson)

“He’s much stronger since the last time I saw him in the Makari Kingdom.” (I)

“It just shows his talent, plus he’s not an eyesore, we just happened to hit his weak spot.” (Nelson)

“There are only two things that happen when you hit someone’s weak spot.” (Nelson)

“The target will be defeated or there will be an explosive reaction, you also knew that and tried to warn the High Priestess Aredhel, unfortunately, she did not listen.” (Nelson)

Sigh

I look at Kira, I can see her mother in her movements, it looks like her mother taught her well before she left.

Tears

“I understand her sadness, the way she moves might be a little different, but clearly realizing the same way her mother moves, just a little different, she seems to have mixed a little more unpredictable techniques into what her mother taught. ” (Nelson)

“I had time to investigate after the Makari Kingdom, the moment I saw that mask I knew I couldn’t get it out of my head.” (I)

“Joan died in an epidemic in a small place because of a corrupt nobleman.” (I)

“The Joana who was the most loyal to her duties and the most talented died in a remote place and there was no one to protect what she loved most…” (I)

Nelson puts his hand on my shoulder.

“You couldn’t have dropped anything, nobody could, it was her choice” (Nelson)

“We all looked for her as best we could, but even wounded as she was, she wasn’t someone easy to find.” (Nelson)

“I didn’t even know she was pregnant…” (I)

“Only I knew that, but I couldn’t tell you since I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep your emotions in check.” (Nelson)

“Her dad didn’t know either, but I guess I’ll have to text him.” (Nelson)

“Is her father the one I’m thinking of?” (I)

“Who else could it be? He was the only man Joan ever loved.” (Nelson)

“Why didn’t she tell him?” (I)

“That would be a difficult thing considering the enemies he had at the time.” (Nelson)

“But it seems that losing Joana at that time affected him a lot, I heard that all his enemies are dead now.” (Nelson)

“If he’s the same man I remember, then he’s going to look for his daughter in the same desperate way he looked for Joana.” (I)

“I know, so I’ll wait until the quest Zenos is going to do is over before sending him a message, so he won’t interfere with their quest.” (Nelson)

“What mission are you talking about?” (I)

“You don’t need to know, when the mission is completed I will be informed to send the message to Kira’s father.” (Nelson)

“Why not say anything to her?” (I) 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝒏𝙤𝒗𝒆𝙡．𝙤𝒓𝙜

“We don’t know her well enough to know how she’s going to react, the most I can do without affecting her current life too much is to train her the same way I trained her mother.” (Nelson)

“She has shown great talent, perhaps even more talent than her mother had.” (Nelson)

“But are you going to leave the mask with her? Even if you’re not a Night Watch?” (I)

“Yes, that’s her only memory of her mother, plus the mask has already formed a bond with her.” (Nelson)

“She knows we’re here.” (I)

“Yes, I think she is suspicious about her origins being from this village, but she also realized that no one tried to talk to her.” (Nelson)

“I wonder why she didn’t investigate her past herself until now.” (I)

“I don’t know if her past means much to her, if she’s like Joana, then she only cares about the moment.” (Nelson)

I can’t help but see Joana in the way Kira is fighting, the two are so similar.

———-

With that time passed, the days and weeks passed until they became months, now it’s time for Kira to leave, but so far she hasn’t sought to know about her or her mother’s past.

It seems Nelson was right, she doesn’t want to know about her own past, knowing her mother I’m sure she didn’t tell her daughter anything, probably didn’t even tell her about her father, but those things depend on her in the end.

Unfortunately, I’m not as good as Nelson, so I can’t teach her anything, at this point she’s better than me.

They left today and when I arrived at the village gate they had just passed, Nelson seems to have come seconds before me as if he had waited for them to leave the village before he appeared, Roman had been there for some time, must have come to say goodbye of Sophia his daughter.

“Looks like I was the last to arrive.” (I)

“Have you come to see the Gray Elf?” (Roman)

“Yes, I at least wanted to see her go with my own eyes.” (Nelson)

“They’ve noticed you, I suspect Zenos must already know something.” (Roman)

“He knows, I already met him during a training night, even he knows it’s suspicious that I’m personally teaching his follower.” (Nelson)

“He must already know all the council leaders including you, from what I’ve observed of him, he is very careful.” (I)

“I don’t know your relationship with that Gray Elf, but you shouldn’t worry, from what he showed when he arrived, he has a strong attachment to those who follow him, so she’ll be safe.” (Roman)

I agree with General Roman’s words, but it still pains me to see her leave without even talking to her, but if I had I would have ended up talking about her mother sooner or later, so I kept my distance from her.

“(I still don’t like you being with this monstrosity, I don’t know if you’ll be so safe, but at least you look happy Joana’s daughter.)” (I)
