Felicia had been hiding for quite a while. The geno worms didn't have any allies, just themselves. She moves closer to the main gate but sees a dozen armed police. "Shit, they don't seem to be letting anyone out."
Felicia ponders what to do. She originally stayed to monitor the progress of the geno worms but now it turns out not to have been such a great idea. "There's still quite a lot of worms left, seems I have no choice but to wait. I should return to the refuge, better there than here."
She starts walking and that's when she comes face to face with Elf Captain Elena.
"It's her from the picture," Elena thought.
"Oh thank goodness, I thought you might be another geno worm," Felicia says happily.
"Well you're safe now," Elena says nicely. "She must not know we're looking for her otherwise she would have gave flight," she thought.
"Can you take me to the refuge?"
"Yeah I was out here looking for survivors."
They proceed to walk.
"So what is your name?" Elena asks.
"Felicia."
"That's a nice name. I'm Elf Captain Elena."
"It's nice to meet you. So Elf Captain, have you ever encountered something like his?"
"No, I was wonder where they could have come from."
"Me too, they just suddenly showed up."
"Yes and the mayor called us in."
"I see."
"So you were hiding in that building, huh?"
"Yes."
"I guess the worms prevented you from getting away."
"Yes, it was horrible, I seen many people die."
"It's alright, I'll protect you."
Felicia nods and silence fell. The road to the refuge was clear. Elena yawns. "Let's go to tavern and get a drink."
"What?"
"Yeah, let's get a drink."
"But, but we have to get to the refuge."
"Oh come on its one drink."
"I'm not sure everyone has been evacuated and should you even drink while on a job?"
"Don't worry about it, free wine!"
"But the owner will be upset."
"Oh how is he gonna know it was us?"
"Us?"
"I'm certainly not doing it by myself."
"But, but!"
"Oh fine since you're that worried about it we won't take any."
"I bet the owner keeps the better stuff is up in the attic."
"Attic?"
"Yes, that's where he keeps all the good kind that includes the geno worm egg we found."
Felicia stops walking.
"Only four people had access to it, the owner, his wife who died three years ago, his son who's a member of the police and you know what all three have in common?"
"What?"
"They were all born in this town and have never been to the outside world, that's a means no desert region where they could have obtained the egg. So that only leads to one person."
"You're mistaken."
"Oh really now, this place isn't all that big, an outsider would be easy to spot, especially a very beautiful one."
Felicia breaks and makes a run for it.
"You won't get away!"
"You won't stop me!"
Elf Captain Elena leaps into the air and tackles Felicia. "I got you!" Felicia struggles to get loose but Elena was too strong and puts the shackles on her arms and then her legs. "Alright let's go you bitch!"
****
"Alright tell us why you cause this infestation?" The chief of police questions.
Felicia was silent.
"You realize that twenty-seven people died!?"
"Only twenty-seven people lost their lives?"
"Yes and fifty wounded."
"This is weird, it's like she's disappointed that only that many died," Elena thought.
"Chief, I would like to ask her a question."
"Sure go ahead."
"Hey Felicia, is the infestation related to recent attack on several villages?"
"Maybe it is maybe it isn't."
"I don't have time for your games, give me a straight answer!"
"Go blow an orc!"
Elena was stunned.
"How dare you talk to our captain that way?" Nesa screams.
"Yeah what are you going to do about it shoot me with an arrow?!"
"Don't tempt me!"
"We could torture her," a police officer suggests.
"Would you really want to torture my body?" Felicia teases.
"Seduction won't work!" The chief says.
"Try as you might I won't say anything!"
****
For now Felicia was placed in a cell. The elves save Elena were eating, she was in bathing. The images of the orcs fucking her came back; it was just like the first time with Thantor. "No one can ever know about this!" She takes another pill.
Once she's cleaned up, Elf Captain Elena joins her team.
"Well captain, now that geno worm infestation is over, what do we do now?" Gudolu asks.
"I'm going to get that bitch talking!"
"I'll put an arrow in her knee!" Nesa screams. "How dare she speak blasphemy to our captain!"
"Excuse me which one of you is Elf Captain Elena?" A police officer asks.
"I am."
"Felicia wants to talk to you."
"Me?"
"Yes that's what she said."
"The mayor agreed but wants your consent."
"Alight sure."
****
Elf Captain Elena sat down face to face with Felicia.
"Alright whatever you have to say let's hear it."
"What is the name of the country you hail from, I forgot?"
"Elftoria," she replies.
"Ah yes, how big is the population?"
"Five billion, what's it to you?"
"That's fascinating."
"I grow tired of this small talk, what reason do you have for causing an infestation and are you apart of village attacks?!"
"I already answered that question."
"No you did not."
"Well that's the only answer you will get from me."
"Fine I'll just draw my own conclusion."
"Elf Captain, tell me have you ever thought of a world other than your own?"
"Don't get philosophical on me!"
Felicia pulls out a medallion; it was silver with a skull with three sapphire gem eyes. "Well have you ever seen this?"
"A creepy medallion, what is this show n tell?"
"Kind of, you see I'm not from here."
"I think we already established that."
"Sigh, no I mean not from this world, I was somehow dropped in this world. The world I come from has humans only. Elves, dwarfs, the servants of the Dark and dragons are made up in my world."
"Are you high or something?"
"No I'm speaking the truth, once I got here it wasn't long before I was captured like many others and forced to become a gladiator."
"Don't make me laugh."
"Well it's true even if you don't believe me. I was almost killed when I escaped but was rescued by a witch and gained much knowledge including the location of a certain book."
"Book, what book?"
"I will say no more but I will tell you that the festival of blood will happen like it did in the last three ages of this world very soon and after that well."
"What do you mean by all this and why share it with me?!"
"Well it was you who captured me so I thought I'd reward you with some information, I thought it would be nice to have a worthy opponent, someone who could try and delay the inevitable doom. Now with that I must be going."
"You're not going anywhere!"
"Wyvern!" Felicia screams into her medallion.
"Ol a dragon!" Nesa screams.
"It's called a Wyvern, idiot! Dragons have four legs, this one only has two!" I should have gone with the bird, she murmured to herself.
"Get back here!" Elf Captain Elena screams.
"Au Revoir, I look forward to seeing you on the battlefield." The Wyvern flies off.
****
Elf Captain Elena and team return home and she gives the elf king her report.
"I see, so I think we can conclude that this Felicia is connected to the attacks."
"She said she was a former gladiator which could be true."
"It probably is. Those who are sold into slavery end of up doing all kinds of things."
"I see. What is your opinion on her claiming to be from another world, your majesty?"
"Nothing but propaganda, don't let her confuse you. I will inform all of our allies. She made a declaration of war!"
****
A few days later Elf Captain Elena was summoned by the elf king.
"You are to travel with an alliance party to escort a prisoner by the name of Zarfgett to alliance HQ. Zarfgett is at Jagged Point."
"Jagged Point, that's..."
"That's right Jagged Point is a prison under the control of the servants of the Dark. We have negotiated with them and they've agreed to release Zarfgett. It will take you six days to reach Jagged Point and two days to reach alliance HQ."
"I'm on my way."
****
Jagged Point was the most secured prison that the servants of the Dark had, many POWs met their end there. Right now it was housing the worst offenders that the servants of the Dark had. Zarfgett was a human thief who tried to steal goblin treasure but that wasn't the bad part, not only had he killed three goblins but started eating them. He was scheduled to be executed but the servants of the Light gearing up for war, thought he could be of some use since he was a good fighter. The servants of the Light paid a high price for him but this didn't sit right with many SOTD including the orc warden.
"Sir, SOTL is here."
"Do not let them in, we will have justice!"
