Chapter 18|| Hunted No More

*sigh*

"Your soul, it really is different."

Sen knew that something was different about his soul, but he could never delve into why for the pain would strike him immediately.

"What do you mean whats wrong with my soul?"

"I didn't say there was anything wrong with it, just different."

"If nothing's wrong then how come your pet acted like that?"

"Well, when my wisper felt the presence of your soul he was attacked, naturally he would try to defend himself."

"What I didn't attack him."

"Hmm your soul must be very powerful and erratic otherwise it wouldn't be able to scare and harm my wisper. You must have done it unintentionally thinking my wisper was a threat."

Sen thought for a moment.

"Could that really be the reason, what kind of soul do I have? It not only attacks this wisper but me as well if I try to even investigate it.

"What can I do to complete this contract then?"

"Just relax you must know that my wisper wishes you no harm.When your calm then it will go more smoothly so whenever you're ready."

Sen slowed his breathing and quickly relaxed himself as if he were meditating. He looked into his mind and slowly calmed himself his soul was as tranquil as a leaf floating in the wind, he calmly said.

"Ok, I'm ready."

Ryyla once more picked up her wisper and approached sen placing it near sens chest. It was a little hesitant at first but with a bit of coaxing eventually it settled down. It pressed its lips upon sens chest and gently probed his soul, its body began to glow and it finally extracted a small piece of sens soul doubling the wispers body size. Ryyla once more placed the wisper to her own chest and a small piece of his soul settled within her next to her soul and the contract was complete.

*phew*

"The contract is now complete thank you young wisper."

And with a flip of her hand the wisper vanished, she then smiled and said.

"Now since I'm to call you sen what will you call me?"

"Hmm how about little ryyla?"

"WHAT! that's not funny if you do then we can't be friends."

"Hahaha, we are to be friends now?"

*grrr*

"You make fun of me when I'm to teach you these amazing things."

"Hahaha, I'm only kidding, tell you what why don't we just go by names."

"No, thats no good, my names boring why can't I have a title you're already getting so much from me cant you be the least bit fair."

Sen pondered a moment and finally decided.

"If you teach me a lot of powerful magic then maybe one day ill call you teacher, how's that."

Ryyla hearing teacher jumped in joy.

"Yes yes yes yes me a teacher kukukukuku excellent excellent. Since I am the teacher first order of business uniforms."

Kai jumped in.

"What! uniforms, no way ."

"Uniforms I don't care and I said maybe ill call you teacher."

Ryyla's dreams were squashed in a matter of seconds and she immediately looked depressed, tara seeing this chimed in.

"Well, if the uniforms aren't too formal I wouldn't be opposed ."

Ryyla hearing this quickly perked up.

"Really?"

"No no no out of the question, I'm already in my 30's I'm too old for such drivel, sen, please tell her no."

Sen looked at ryyla and she looked back at him with puppy eyes, sen thought a uniform didn't matter in the least all he wanted was that dimension magic, if he could claim it then who cares about a uniform to him it's just clothing.

"Well, I agree with mother as long as their not too fashionable I really do not care."

"Yay, little.... I mean sen agrees as well."

Ryyla once more was jumping for joy she had never been to school before and was self-taught in everything she knew. To her, the prospects of teaching and uniforms were very refreshing. She had been quite bored for the last few century's and now she was getting a student with so many interesting things about him. She simply could not contain her excitement, she quickly shouted out.

"So when shall we start?"

Sen quickly replied

"Immediately."

Tara and kai were both stunned all of this was happening so fast. At first they wee both against it, but in only a matter of a few minutes their son convinced them to stay with ryyla and to learn magic from her.Kai was especially bewildered but tara spoke up.

"Are we to do it here?"

Kai soon realized if he were to stay in here and learn for god knows how long, staring at this green ocean he would go insane.

"Yeah we can't do it here this place is maddening I don't suppose you have a dojo in there do you?"

Ryyla noticing there discomfort pondered for a moment.

"Hmm, we don't have to do it here and it might be kinda bad if any of ya were to fall into that dimensional ocean."

"What would happen ?"

Tara asked worryingly.

"Well not much, just your body would be torn to shreds and your soul would disperse, not too bad."

Kai became on his guard immediately.

"What! you have us in such a place, sen we can't stay here with this woman we gotta leave. What sane person would live here?"

Sen looked around and he had to agree with his dad why would someone live so close to death. Maybe this place was connected to her long life, but before sen could speak up.

"What, I don't live here, this is just one of my vacation homes. It's really quite peaceful, no day or night it's really soothing."

"If you don't live here then where do you live?"

"Kukuku do you want to see?"

Ryyla ushered everyone back into the house and they followed her curiously. She then shut her huge doors with a pull of wind and then placed her palm upon the middle of the closed doors. after a second she began to chant, as she did the three looked on confused, but sen quickly figured out she was about to move them all someplace. As she continued to chant her hand faintly glowed a bright green, and as it did the entire house began to shake quite violently, kai worried shouted out.

"What are you doing ?"

He went to grab her arm and move it away but before he did sen used his power to grab his father's hand to stop him.

"Dad she's moving us relax."

Sen released his father and his father settled down a bit, but you could still see a look of worry on his face. Tara grabbed his hand and squeezed it tight she too was a bit fearful. Kai looked at her and realized he was probably making her worry more with his actions so he squeezed her hand back and kept silent.

After a few seconds, the green light from ryylas hand started to pulse with a bit of silver in it as well, and like that everything went white for a brief second. When it finally faded and the light from ryylas hand had disappeared, the house finally stopped trembling.

*phew*

"Were here."

Kai still not wanting to act too rash simply whispered.

"Where is here?"

Ryyla pushed open the huge doors with a bit of wind and as she did kai and tara were shocked by what laid before them.

"Welcome to my home."

They all stepped out and tara and kais mouths were left agape with what was before them. The first thing their feet touched was a patch of green bluegrass that stretched as far as the eye could see. Tall broad trees with white and pink flowers blooming on them, in the distance you could see a long cascading waterfall that dripped clear spring water as cool as ice and almost as delicious as some wines.

Flowers of every color covered the landscape and small animals such as rabbits and deers could be seen nibbling on bushes that were covered in red and purple berries. The sun shined down past the clouds as if it were a painting and a long cool breeze drifted past the landscape and into the noses of everyone. Filling their senses with the fragrance of life itself.

Only one word could describe this place and that is paradise, but even that may not be enough. Tara and kai were speechless, they have both been to many places and seen many things but in all of their lives they have never witnessed such beauty. It almost didn't seem real, tara looking at this couldn't help but look down at sen.

Seeing his beautiful eyes, she couldn't help but start kissing his face which sen didn't really mind. As for kai taking this scenery in he couldn't help but think of what he's done to come here. All the people he killed, all the children, he couldn't help but shed a single tear that slowly made its way down his cheek. At that moment, he felt a gut-wrenching pain and from the bottom of his heart he knew that he truly hated himself.

"Okay mom that's enough, can you please stop now dad what's the matter why are you crying?"

Kai quickly regained his composure.

"Nothing it's nothing, this place is just beautiful I've never seen such a paradise. Tell me ryyla where are we right now?"

"Kukuku this is the hidden valley of Treya, my home."

Kai and tara once more their mouths dropped they've both heard of the valley of treya, but there has never been a map to treya because no one could ever find it. Everyone thought it was just a myth something you tell to children to give them good dreams, but to know that this place was real. Their brains could not fathom it and then sen spoke up.

"Mom dad can you stop drooling so we can get started already, but before that ryyla what continent are we on."

"Kukuku should I tell?"

"Do you have to do that every time someone ask you a question it's very annoying. You know what just forget I even asked."

Kai and tara only looked at each other they had both wanted to say the exact same thing, but couldn't find the courage.

"What! me annoying, says the child who craps on himself hahaha."

Sen quickly got irritated .

"Ok, mom dad its time to go."

Kai and tara as if on Que both turned and started to walk away from ryyla. They had both wanted to give her the business but simply couldn't.

"Wait wait I was kidding I was kidding, no more I swear ."

Ryyla fell to her knees and was pulling on taras clothes. Tara turned around and sen began to speak.

"Listen up ryyla, if you are to teach me then when I ask a question do you think it's appropriate for you to not only not answer my question, but tease me as well. You'll never be a respectable teacher like that."

"You're right your right I'm sorry, so stay ok."

Kai and tara both broke out into laughter looking at the two was quite comical. It was if sen was the teacher and ryyla the student getting lectured, they couldn't help but see them this way.

"If I am to stay, then what will you do when one of us has a question ?"

"Answer, ill answer."

"And when one of us doesn't know something that will you not do?"

"Tease, I won't tease."

"Very good now ryyla shall we start the lesson ?"

"Yes."

"Yes, what?"

"Yes, master."

"What?"

Ryyla had quickly got caught up in sens pace and blurted it out accidentally she immediately thought.

Ryyl's POV

"Dangerous I have to be careful I went with this kid's pace so easily"

"Yes, I meant sen, teehee."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the lesson started, somewhere else in the world in a large castle in a wide room 4 people conversed. While one sat in a luxurious chair the other 3 knelt on the floor in front of this seated figure.

"So this is your report dreyer?"

"Yes Region lord."

Flipping through the report the region lords face became more and more sour, he stopped on the last page and in a low irritated tone.

"You are to cease this investigation immediately and you are to remove all wanted posters of these people and you are no longer to look for them that is all."

The region lord quickly got up and walked towards the door to exit, dreyer jumped to his feet.

"My lord these people killed innocent civilians they destroyed a whole village we are to simply let them go."

"There is nothing to be done you took too long."

"Took too long, my lord, how can we let these people escape after what they've done."

"Under normal circumstances they would be destroyed, but as things stand we cannot touch them."

Dreyer was angry he momentarily lost his temper and shouted out.

"WHAT ABOUT JUSTICE!"

The region lord bellowed back.

"I AM JUSTICE!!"

Dreyer regaining his composure immediately fell to one knee and looked to the ground.

"My lord forgive me I... I didn't mean to."

The region lord looked at dreyer he too had forgotten himself for a moment.

*sigh*

"Dreyer, raise your head, listen, do you know who the elf woman was."

Dreyer raised his head up and quickly shook it no.

*sigh*

"That elf woman was Ryyla ."

Dreyers eyes almost popped from his head and he glanced at the other two who were kneeling behind him it was Luke and Serena they both looked a bit confused and the region lord continued.

"You must remember ryyla is no average elf she like me is a 10th rank. I a warrior and her a mage, you, of course, remember the war 30 years ago the one where out of nowhere one day during the fight me and my enemies were stopped cold by one lone person.That person is in fact ryyla at that time we were forced to make peace with our enemies by her.

Since that time we've only prospered, I maybe at the 10th rank now, but even today between her and me I'm just not certain who would win. If this report is true then those three people are now under her protection if so I can not risk going to war over one village. What happened to those people is sad it really is, but imagine the millions that would die if we were to war with her ."

*sigh*

"Dreyer you must understand even if we were to fight and kill her, her mages guild brings in nearly 40% of all the taxes we collect. Without her, the mages guild would fall and our economy would crash then we would be open season for any local warmonger to invade us and take over. This is something you must let go I tell you today this case is closed."

And with that the region lord calmly turned and exited the room. Dreyer and the others remained silent for a minute before serena shot up to her feet and said.

"Sir were really going to give up ?"

Dreyer just sat there quietly, before he made his report he hadn't know that this was the same ryyla from that war, but hearing his region lord there were no doubts he had to let it go.

"Sir please answer me how can we give up like this how is this justice? Luke please say something."

Luke wanted to speak up but ryylas power had frightened him. When he was thrown into that portal he was dropped into the middle of a mountain filled with powerful beast. In his already weakened state, he nearly lost his life there. Even though he sorely wanted justice and a bit of revenge for his humiliation, if he was to fight ryyla he would soon rather lose an arm or a leg.

"No serena you heard the region lord he's given orders ."

"But but, that ryyla couldn't possibly be that strong if we go ambush her surely."

"I said no, you're young so you wouldn't know but during that war 30 years ago I was there. I witnessed her power myself with but a gush of wind she picked up 10's of thousands of soldiers, and with but a wave of her hand she slammed them into trees and the ground. Crushing their armor with the impact our forces quickly made a river of blood before her ."

"I ...I didn't know I thought those were all just stories."

"Serena do you remember what they called ryyla."

"Even that's true how?"

"It just is, her power is real and that's why she is....Ryyla the Dragonslayer."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Treya]

Sen and his family after a long first day, they all decide to take a bath. Tara holding sen and kai along side of her made their way to the cascading waterfall. It took them around ten minutes before they reached it but when they got there a bit of excitement was on all of their faces. All three quickly enter and begin to soak their tired selves.

"Kai do you think we'll be safe here?"

"Hmm, we should be, if this place truly is treya the hidden valley then who can find us."

"Mom you worry too much even if were found ryylas magic can make us disappear in no time."

"Maybe your ri."

Before tara could finish her sentence there was a noise coming from behind a bush. Kai noticing it immediately did a flip out of the water landing next to his sword he quickly drew it and was already upon this bush, but before he could swing the figure behind it hoped out.

"Kukuku not bad kai not bad."

Kai noticing who it was immediately dropped his sword and covered his front with his hand, but seeing how he only had one hand he simply could not cover himself efficiently.

Ryyla stood there evaluating kai and a big grin was on her face. Tara seeing this quickly yelled out.

"What are you doing here ?"

"Me, I was simply getting ready to bathe but then I heard some noise at my favorite bathing spot and thought it might have been a pervert. So I quickly went to check but who would have thought I would have seen other things instead kukuku."

Kai noticing ryylas eyes, dove into the water, quickly standing next to his wife he couldn't even speak, but tara spoke up angrily.

"The only pervert around here is you now if there's nothing else can you please leave us in peace there're plenty of other spots to bathe."

"Kukuku I can't do that, as I said I came to bathe here this is my favorite spot. If anything it should be you who leaves seeing how this spot is mine ."

Tara angered by this weird woman shouted out.

"Fine, we'll leave, come on kai."

As tara stood to leave her body was exposed and ryyla shot many

glances towards her.

"Hmm, so that's why kai married you."

Tara blushed and immediately sat back down.

"Hmm, not leaving, then I'm coming in."

After ryyla said that she started to strip and as she did kai as well as tara couldn't help but blush from seeing her. Ryyla truly was the most beautiful woman either of them has ever seen. Tara tried to cover sens eyes and kais at the same time, but kai kept pushing her hand aside just a bit.

As ryyla slowly took off the last piece of fabric all was revealed, 2 beautiful mounds of the softest bit of flesh one could ever come across. As well as curves that would make the world stop and time stand still, and as she lowered herself into the water tara couldn't help but notice something hard poking her back. When she realized what it was she quickly got angry and started pinching and twisting kais side as hard as she could.

"Kukuku kai don't forget to wash behind your ears."

Hearing this kai turned bright red from embarrassment which only made tara pinch him worse, but looking at ryylas figure he simply did not care. Sen slowly came to the realization that this was gonna happen a lot and he thought to himself.

Sen's POV

"How long must I be in this fools presence?"

10 years later.........
