《The Great Nok Ma》Chapter 2: Alderdyfi
Advertisement
It was late in the evening when i got back again from dreamland , The mystical leaf is already half-burnt.
After some time the dark elf girl barge into the room.
‘Wow you really are a monster' she said while staring at me.
I got a bit surprised by her sudden intrusion. But I immediately calm myself, and asked her curiously.
‘Who are you? And whose the monster?’
I wondered if got disfigured. But from what i can see, everything seems normal.
‘I'm your savior. My name is rashka ‘ she said with a smile on her beautiful face.
‘Someone with a fast recovery like yours is definitely a monster. You’re on the brink of death when we found you yesterday and now look at you! ‘ she exclaimed with astonishment in her eyes.
' So, who are you and which human clan did you came from?’ Rashka asked.
‘I am nok ma , and what human clan?’ I replied. It might be the nationality I thought to myself.
‘There are hundreds if not thousands of human clans on this continent alone, where did you came from for you not to know that ?’ rashka asked again while taking a huge leather from her pouch.
‘Wait what is that?!’ I shouted pointing on her pouch that was hanging on her waist. I was really surprised to see something that small to produce something that big.
‘hmm, so the oracle's prophecy is true.’ She said smiling.
‘this really is interesting ' she said while grinning .
'This is a pouch embedded with magic stones it can hold a hundred times of its size. See that?’ while pointing at the ten diamond like tiny stones on the pouch.
‘The more magic stones it has the more space it can have.’ She added.

‘Now tell me what happened to your clan and your people?’
'And what are your motives on our land?' I can sense some hostility from her. Maybe because I'm suspicious I mean she still don't know if I'm a friend or foe.
With her suspicion, telling a lie wouldn't do me good.
There’s no point in hiding the things that I know . So I told her my story.
About how some scientist made a device to shrink us all. And how that scientist is generous enough to give us a ten minutes heads up before activating the device. Then I told her why I almost died because of that chicken and its eggs. And that I was the previous farm owner of the that giant human farm where they found me. I was amazed to know that they already anticipated me . It was their oracle who warn them about the giants coming. I guess it’s a little off but at least I still came. After I told her all of those.
She taught me about their world. Basically they already existed long before our civilization was born . About how they used some kind of magic to hide from us and that they are just living all around us. She also told me that there are more creatures and demi-human species out there. But there are also local tiny humans. They are the tiny humans that inhabits this world that I didn’t know before and they are seperated by their respective clans and hostile at each other. There are some alliances but its rare.
Rashka also taught me about the geography of their territory and the neighboring territories with the leather map that she took out before. It is very detailed showing whose territories and a list of which creatures are living there.

The sun was beginning to rise when she left me, that she needs to convene the information that she learned to her elders, and told me that she would be back right after.
She strictly warned me that i can't leave this room no matter what . I agreed but in return asked her to leave the map so that I can study it more and she promised that she would bring more books of this world for me.
Moments after she left. The old dark elf with a cane and entered the room.
He brought me some water and medicinal porridge . That tasted like effed. And left without saying anything again.
After forcing myself to finish the porridge. I looked around the room.
It only have a single window and from the view outside, I'm certain that its on a high place .
I'm guessing that its a tree because the ceiling,walls,flooring on the room is made of wood. There's a table and a chair near the window.
There's also a bucket on the corner of the room.
After checking everything i tried to stand up and walk towards the chair.
The map was on the table, which I began to study further. After sometime passed. I got back on the bed for I started to become dizzy again.
To sum everything that I learned. This village is called Alderdyfi and occupies everything from my farm on the east of the village till the river forty something kilometers away from it on the west. The village is located in between the two.
There are three more villages of demi-humans in the vicinity. The two goblin village on the north and northeast of alderdyfi. And the last one is the troll village near the river in the west. It seems that they are enemies because their village is painted with red on the map. Those three villages are the only ones that look like a threat to alderdyfi.
There are also several hamlets of other demi-humans in the south. Their names are highlighted with yellow. The legend says that those are under alderdyfi.
I'm fired up to roam and explore this new world.
After lying down. I drifted off to sleep.
