《Blood Limit》Ch 27

When I summoned this place, true I had thought of bringing back nature. But when I had only a swamp in mind I did not think that I would bring this forestry here as well.
As we were going I began to realize this place I had summoned was not just swamp like what you would see in fantasies but it was forest and so much more.
The forest was really quite as we past but I could sense the life within it, interesting birds were the only thing daring enough to show.
I heard a screech and my head tilted back to give me view of the sky above, above flying among the trees were birds with I had never seen before. I could tell they were white before they disappeared into the trees.
I let my sight take a gander at the the place as we past.
My senses were in constant shock from encountering things new to them. Although they were familiar with nature this goes beyond my long time beliefs I developed being born a human on earth. The taste of the air was exquisite, granted it made me feel like I could go on forever.
My old eyes were useless compared to now. I saw things in a grander light everything appeared more lucid than before and the nature around us possessed a specific radiance to them. Small wisp of light came from everything and vanished just moments after it'd come making the place appear magical. The sunlight had hit us at a splendid angle which made me feel quite relaxed despite this unfamiliar situation.
"We are here." My attention was pulled back to the female elf as she had spoke. I glanced around and I already noticed the lack of grass beneath my sandaled feet. We had treaded dirt for a while before we arrived to where we are now. Before us was a large yard the size of a baseball field, there was a huge wooden house three stories high just at the edge of the forest. All around this baseball like area was dirt with few blades of grass growing randomly.

The house seemed rather ordinary with few stone structure that worked as both the strength of its foundation and design of intricate, ornate affairs on the material. For a house constructed on top of a dirt surface I thought it had been maintained very well.
Then I saw the reason..
Coming around the corner with a anxiousness about him had been a man. His head baled exposing a green tattoo on the side that had no hair to be covered by. He had a stocky build, scars on his body had yet to heal. He wore a white tunic and brown trousers. The handle protruded from either side of the bucket shaped like a semi circle he held it in his left hand, the bucket had a dry white towel which hung off the top edge of it, in his right hand was a wash cloth that originally used to be white but was smudged by the dirt. His right hand wiped the surface of the stone as he attempted also cleaning the ornate affair of it. Before he saw us at least..
"Lady Aryna!" The suppose slave cried, with long strides he made a bee-line toward us. He had been at the side of the house and we were crossing the front so he had to turn the corner before he stood blocking our path. His actions left me dumbfounded and I was looking like 'why'?
He dropped the bucket to the ground, the impact made some of the water come out but it was abysmal to the full bucket, I noticed a large leaf floating at the bottom. I heard a thud, the man had fallen on both knees and groveled in front of the elf I've been traveling with. Her name is Aryna huh? The man was shivering in fear and his respiration worked overtime as I could practically feel the sweat in the air.
"You.." Her intense gaze landed on his back. Then she sent a glance at me, looking as if she changed her mind on something she looked back at the guy. "Resume your cleaning duties." The man shook.

Standing slowly he picked up the bucket and went back to the wash cloth he dropped at the wall he was cleaning, not before shooting me the 'I tried!' Look as he past.
"You didn't have to restrain yourself for me." I said as we continued our steps. She looked at me a moment as I kept pace.
"I did not do it for you." She said. We were approaching the stairs and stopped. I stopped my tracks as well and looked to one another.
"That isn't what I saw back there, I am not here to free these slaves. They are not my people. Don't worry about me. I'm not here to free them." She looked slightly concerned. "Are you really only here for..? Why did you come here? Its true your interest in my people?" She said appearing confused. I had not told her why I done what I did in detail. But her guess was only partly true.
"I have come.. because I thought that this would be interesting." I uttered honestly. Her eyes had opened gradually and her mouth ajar. That was before she frowned at me.
"You came here because it's interesting?" She exclaimed with electric bolts flying from her head coming with being stunned I nodded as I tried to hold back a laugh. "You- I told you they would kill you right! Why have you come anyways!?"
"But were you not the woman who lead me here? And whats this, when do your elves not want to enslave humans?" I asked her. From astonishment to shock, only her mouth hung open before her lips came together again. "I won't mind being your slave ya' know?" I got to see her mouth open again as she returned to the stunned look. I watched her eyes narrow and smirked to my self, as I allow my self to be amused by her.
"E-enough games!" She shouted as she stomped pass like a kid, she ascended the steps. Her skirt was tighter in back. The shape of her hips and the delicate curves of her back were imaginable.
"Ill wait here." I told her. She shot me a glare for a few seconds before she swung open the door with her left hand, stepping in she disappeared inside before slamming it shut.
I chuckled at her mix of emotions. I sighed and looked at the steps. I sat down on the top most step, the third one and my bending my knees I spread my sandaled feet across the first step and studied the vast open space in front of the house. When I felt like I was being watched I looked to my side and found the human slave from before. I lifted an eye brow at his pose. He had two hands next to eachother wrapping the corner of the wall as his head stuck out with the other half of his body. Only his neck properly hidding behind the wall. After he saw me raise an eyebrow only then did he run from his post and go back to cleaning.
I thought of playing parrot a little and repeating his actions but decided not to waste my time. Soon enough ill be meeting the 'True primordial' it looks like. I don't intend on anything big so I also hope that this goes well.
"What do I do?" I asked to my self and my gaze went to the skies.
