Book 2 C 20 The Elves

“Stay separated, Elves over there and Humans on this side!” I yell out as the lust is subsiding. Distance from them seems to help.

Ki'Diera I need you to coordinate for us, you and your people seem unaffected.

Ki'Diera accesses my mind and memories and sees that the Elves are causing a reaction from the Humans, causing uncontrollable lust to emerge.

“Ny'Har'en warriors suppress any Human who try to near the Elves!” Ki'Diera commands

“Yes my Queen” many call out and take defensive positions between the Elves and the Humans.

“What is going on? We are causing this?” Aerleras asks.

“It seems something about your nature is causing the Humans to go into uncontrollable lust, so we must keep your two peoples separated for now” Ki'Diera says to her.

“This is terrible, how can we coexist then?” Aerleras asks.

“We will find a way, Scott and the Doctors have already discussed it, for now we can put you in your own housing area and keep the humans from you. Scott believes if only one or two are around them, they can control the urge, but so many at once is too much for them to handle.” Ki'Diera says using her mind link with me

“Very well, but we still have people out there” Aerleras says to Ki'Diera.

“Scott says to keep blowing your Horns to attract them here and he and his people will defend this spot. Also your people can join the battle but keep your distance from the Humans” Ki'Diera says to her.

“Why were the Humans not affected during the battle?” Aerleras asks.

“We do not know, it is something to explore later.” Ki'Diera answers.

He Elves take up defensive position on their side as we take up position on our side with the Ny'Har'en in the middle to separate the two groups. Horns sound of continuously now trying to attract the Elven people to here. They arrive in twos and three at a time over the next few hours, Trolls pop out attracted by the noise, as many as a dozen at a time, only to be burnt by Cindy and her apprentices covered in layers of mana barriers. The Trolls bang on the Barriers and as one gives another takes it's place.

As evening slowly approaches, almost a thousand elves have gathered, and we killed nearly 400 trolls. I can see how the Elves had trouble with them, as their regenerative abilities were uncanny. Nothing short of total cremation would kill them. Decapitating was an option but at great risk, where many would die trying. Cindy's apprentices were gulping down mana potions again, regaining mana, waiting for the next wave. The Super soldiers did their fair share of killing as well, but were not as efficient as the six mages and Cindy combined, who could take down a dozen of the Trolls easily as a group, combining their flames.

We are not sure if other creatures lurk in the area, but if the rules still apply, this is Troll territory, meaning no others should be here. We light two big Bonfires on the road to give us light and warmth as darkness approaches. We decided to give her people till morning before we start the move back to the keep. I also informed Rick of our status over the radio and possible numbers of incoming refugees. We spoke on how to separate the Elves from the Human population and the Builders are now installing mana crystals into the eastern neighborhoods, which we will now be dedicated to them.

Many of our people are already supplying the houses with needed items to live and are joined by the Albuquerque people who were given that courtesy and felt they needed to help in return, it was a huge undertaking Rick said, as all awaited anxiously at our return with the Elves.

In the morning we would begin transporting them all by bus and Hum-Vee while the rest remained here to defend the position against wandering Trolls. I requested Rick send 23 Drivers and the remaining Super Soldiers for the vehicles and buses so we would not diminish our defenses too much,. He would send them by the Police emergency vehicles in the morning.

We encountered several more Trolls over night, none of us getting much sleep, as we sat and watched, auto target was active on all the Super Soldiers as they fired quickly at anything over 8 ft tall. It was easier to see the Trolls at night with our equipment, as the Supers took up positions inside the woods now scanning the area away from the Bonfires.

By morning we gathered another 180 Elves or so, Bringing their numbers to a little over 1100. The dead Ny'Har'en were wrapped up in body bags and put in the Hum-Vees for resurrection later by Doc Snow, if sacrifices could be found.

Ki'Diera explained the resurrection to the Elves who were astounded, but after hearing the explanation, were not sure if anyone would go thru that. Sharing ones soul and body with another was a unfamiliar and actually a scary concept for them.

As the sun rose a convoy of vehicles approached our position, 18 of them, a mix of Police SUV and Police Cars. Quickly the new Super Soldiers ran to report to Montgomery and Halloway, while drivers ran to the Buses and Hum-Vee's. Rick got out of the lead SUV.

“You had to come huh?” I ask.

“So how do you plan to drive with the Elves to the Keep?” Rick asks with a smile

Holy crap none of us thought of that....

“Umm......wait you are smiling you got something right?” I ask him uncertain of his plans.

“Yups!” is all he says smiling.

I look at him with a confused expression. He then pulls me towards the Elves.”Uh Rick that is a really bad idea.” I say in protest

“Trust me” he says almost laughing, something is very amusing to him

As we approach the Elves and Aerleras, I feel my manhood going to flagpole status almost immediately and the lust is getting to me. Then rick pulls out a device looking like a Jet Injector places it to my neck and pulls the trigger. Like a balloon loosing air fast my manhood also deflates and the lust is gone.

“What is that” I ask him quickly.

“It is an inhibitor to sexual stimulation” He says now laughing.

“An inhibitor?”, I ask

“Yeah and it lasts for 8 to 10 hours, Doc Snow and Doc Mayes came up with it, with the help of Linda Robert's Scholars, took them all day and night to finish it, but the supplies are limited for now, we got 2 maybe 3 days worth at best, for only the needed people. ” He says.” It still does not fix the situation with the population as a whole.”

“You mean if someone takes that, then no, umm stimulation for that entire time?” I ask

“Correct, absolutely none.” He laughs again

“Is everything alright Scott?” Aerleras now asks walking to me.

“Um yes, we seem to have the issue under control with the urges now.” I say as I see others being treated also with the Jet Injectors. Cindy and Julie are given a dose as well.

“That is great news for us,” she exclaims in joy.

“It is only a temporary fix for now, we will see if the issue can be dealt with on a more permanent basis.” Rick says.

I see she is looking at Rick with a look of confusion,” oh sorry this is Rick Hanson, General of my Army”.

“General Hanson nice to meet you”, she says with a pleasant smile.

“Just Rick please” he says extending his hand for a handshake.

“Your people are strange, you have great titles but no one wants to acknowledge them.” She says taking the hand and shakes it.

“Yes that is true, but titles are one thing, names and friends are another” Rick says.

She smiles, “ very true Rick Hanson, very true.”

“So lets get everyone loaded onto the vehicles so we can get you all to safety shall we?” I say to her.

We quickly load up the first load of Elves, with 16 Hum-vees, 7 buses and 18 Emergency Vehicles, we cram as many as possible into them. I notice the Elves also have several small children ranging from babies to young adults, comprising almost one sixth of their numbers. So they are all loaded first. We are able to load over half of the people into all the vehicles on the first trips, thanks to the added emergency vehicles.

“I do have a question Aerleras, you used portal magic to get to us and I saw some of your people teleport to us from the trees. Do all of your people have this?” I ask her.

“Yes it is our ability to move where we can see at will. Your Keeps barrier stopped me from teleporting inside, using portal magic, but once I got past it I could move about again.” She says

“How far can you move with this?” I ask

She hesitates, then straightens,” Since you have revealed your Resurrection ability and helped my people, I will reveal our magic to you as well. For the normal person, only as far as one can see, but the more advanced can go places they have been to before.”

“Can you take others with you?” I ask now getting excited at the prospects of gaining teleportation to our little army.

“The more advanced ones can, but only few in numbers, it drains us severely and taking more with us can even kill us.” She says to me.

“I see, so it is limited, but all of your people can do it.” I say to her understanding.

She nods, there is honk and the vehicles begin to pull away with the first load. Julie and Cindy join us.

“Oh this is so much better” Julie says pleased.

“I almost jumped Scott back then, my urges almost got the better of me” Cindy says in a low whisper.

You were no the only one honey, I came damn close to ripping you clothes off myself.

So this urge is not directly directed at the Elves per say, but more of just an urge to have sex with those closest to you?

Yeah that is what makes it even worse, just think if someone lost control, they would attack anyone, no matter species, as long as that person fits their needs, male or female alike.

That is a scary thought, and the other person would be just as affected if they are Human too right?

Yes..........it could turn into a mass orgy. Some could be forced if not Human, while others would participate willingly, there would be no distinction.

We really have to prevent that. If a Ny'Har'en is taken against their will, that would be really bad not only for the Ny'Har'en, but the Human too, we would demand their death.

Yeah they are going to isolate the Elves for now to prevent something like that from occurring, but how do we fix it in the long term, we can not always stay separated.

“Are you all alright? You keep looking at each other as if talking but no words are being spoken.”, Asks Aerleras

“Sorry my wives and I were having a discussion in our minds” I say to her quickly apologizing for our rudeness.

“In your minds? You have telepathy?” Aerleras asks astonished..

“Well yes, the four of us are all soul linked, more of an upgraded version” I say to her,”we”

“are one” Julie says

“with each” Cindy says

“other and can” Ki'Diera says joining us and links her arm into mine.

“feel each” Cindy says

“others feelings and” Julie says

“thoughts” Ki'Diera says

“We share our body mind and soul with one another now” I finish.

“That is amazing” exclaims Aerleras, then asks as curiosity gets the better of her, her violet eyes begin to sparkle in delight., “is there more to this soul link?”

“Yes a lot more to be honest it goes beyond imagination.” says Julie grinning to Aerleras,” I would b happy to tell you all about it at the Keep when we get back, over a nice dinner and some drinks with us”

Eh? Julie what are you doing? I ask in my mind as our subconscious are disconnected right now.

She is an Elf Scott, an Elf, you get it? I want to know everything about her

Your obsession is quite strong here.

I have always dreamed of meeting or being an Elf since I was a child and grew up on stories like that one with the Ring and the little people, my Father read it to me so many times growing up. And now a real Elf is here not only that an entire tribe of Elves!

Ok but do not over do it please, it can be dangerous once the shot wears off you know. It will not last forever, ummm.. I hope to god it doesn't.

Why is that my Warrior?

Umm well you see, my manhood will not salute if the shot stays in effect.

Not salute? Oh ….hahahahaha, your limp hahaha, hey, hey, wait, that is no good...hey not good at all!

Now you get it honey! It actually feels depressing.

(Snickers) I am sure we can fix that

actually no, it will not rise with this shot in affect.

“Are you having another private discussion?” Aerleras asks.

“Yes, very private, it seems there is a side effect of the shot we received” Cindy says quickly, slightly embarrassed.

“Side effect? Is is bad?” Aerleras asks now concerned.

“Very bad, my Warrior's manhood can not stand up now” Ki'Diera blurts out innocently.

“Ki'Diera! princess!!!” I cry out.

“It is the truth is it not? And it is bad, if you can not perform, what are the three of us to do?” Ki'Diera asks again innocently looking to Julie and Cindy in a near panic.

“Oh, oh my.....” Aerleras can only say embarrassed, blushing a deep red. “all three at once?” she whispers now.

“Of course all at once, we are all equal wives, it can only be mmmmmm..” Ki'Diera says but I put my hand over her mouth as Aerleras' blush keeps getting a darker red.

“I am sure this subject is done and clear” I say quickly. Aerleras nods very quickly, but does not look me in the eyes. Cindy and Julie seem to be blushing too, and looking away at Ki'Diera's words.

We speak on other subjects, I explain the Keep upgrades to her and the separated housing for now.

“We are grateful for your help and assistance, but the housing will cause a problem for us” Aerleras says reluctantly as if wishing to not offend us.

“Why is that Aerleras?” I ask her with curiosity

“As I mentioned before we are Forest Elves, we are one with nature and reside in the trees. Will it be ok if we create a place for us within your walls to meet our needs? Another of our magics is with nature itself, we can grow and accelerate the growth of plants, we can also make them change form to suit our needs in developing our village.” she explains o me.

“That is amazing!!” Julie Cries out, “so you can grow a trees to create your village then?”

“Yes not only trees, but create barbed barriers and entanglements too.” Aerleras adds.

“Oh I can not wait to see an Elven village! You must show me when it is finished!” Julie says in delight, her green eyes are sparkling.

“You will be most welcomed Julie.” Aerleras smiles to her. If not for this inhibitor I think I would have attacked someone on the spot as her smile was getting to me now.

We talked more on various things about her people and their magics, their hunters were very skilled, able to remove their own tracks and track others with great skill, while remaining hidden. As we spoke time passed quickly and the vehicles all arrived once more, no new Elves came forward and Trolls were eliminated as they presented themselves. Julie, Cindy and I, finally gained a level while Ki'Diera gained 2.

Returning the Tanks back to my inventory , we then packed up and gathered all into the vehicles and began our journey back to the keep. Julie and Aerleras continued talking excitedly to one another, it seemed they were becoming friends quickly, Julie's enthusiasm was contagious.

It was late afternoon when we finally arrived, many lined the inner walls awaiting our return. Once again we are cheered as heroes by the people here, many waving bright colored cloth of blues, reds and greens. All, but my vehicle bypass the West gate to take our guest to their new homes. Aerleras, before we left the forest, instructed her remaining people to gather saplings and seeds from the forest to take with them.

My vehicle enters the west gate with Aerleras in it, and we pull up to the Keep, Bre'Tirgan stands waiting for us smiling along with several other Ny'Har'en. Doc Snow and Doc Mathews are also there.

“Good to see you all made it back safe Scott”, Bre'Tirgan says to me smiling.

“It is good to see you too Dad”I say to him with a smile.

“D..D..Dad you called me Dad?” He says his face goes into shock.

“Of course, you are now my father too, right?” I say to him smiling, watching his reaction.

“Yes I am son! My Son!” He says and rushes forward and embraces me. It is a tight embraces, a very strong gripped one. He is happy and is showing it openly with a giant smile on his face.

Good job my warrior! It has been a long time since I have seen that smile on him

I look to Ki'Diera while in the embrace and see she has a tear in her eye.

Julie and Aerleras stand side by side watching with amused smiles while Cindy is talking to her apprentices. She is shaking each of their hands and congratulating them on a job well done from what I can sense from her.

“You go too far Mr. Smith! You go too far!!” Someone yells a the top of their lungs bringing everyone out of their joyful mood as we all turn our heads, we see a man, a Doctor, his face is full of anger and hate. It is Dr Jack Murray.

“You have brought more of the Devil spawn to us, you are destroying Humanity, going against the will of God. I can not allow that to happen,” he shouts in anger, as he whips out a pistol from under his lab coat and points it at Aerleras and fires.
