So now I'll put the next part in here.


Chapter1 / 2

Mari took the book under her arm and quickly hid in an alcove between two shelves. She heard footsteps coming straight in her direction. Mari tried to make herself as small as possible in the alcove. Just then a person came around the corner. This was a young man with jet black hair and green eyes. He went to where she had found the book with the roses. The young man looked around for a while, but then went out of sight again. Mari wanted to turn into a more comfortable position when she accidentally threw a few books off one of the shelves and fell forward on the floor. The stranger was there again immediately. He stared at her as she struggled to straighten up. She held the red-bound book with the roses tightly against her body, as if she feared it might be stolen from her.Her eyes watched him watchfully. He just stared at her, and when he looked at the book much, his eyes widened in surprise. He took a step towards her, but Mari took a step back. Every step he took she took back until she hit a bookshelf. ,,What do you want from me? "There wasn't a bit of fear in Mari's voice, but it was rough and shaky, as if she hadn't talked for a long time. The young man stopped short." I don't mean you no harm, "he said. His voice radiated a warmth that had not been known for a long time. "Oh yes?" She asked, "what do you want then?" She pressed the book even tighter to her chest. ,,I want to help you. "But Mâri made no effort to go to him. She didn't trust him, and she shows that too. Strange, thought the young man, it seems to me as if I've seen her before. But she is not human. That sees everyone, what does that tattoo mean under her eye?When Mari saw where he was looking, she covered the tattoo with one hand. ,,Who are you? "She asked still suspiciously. The stranger replied:" My name is Norin von Istinàr. And who are you? "Mâri was not sure whether she should tell him her name, but then agreed to it. “My name is Mâri. "A warm smile played on his lips. He asked:" And what are you? You are obviously not human? "Mâri didn't know what to answer. She didn't even know herself. When she didn't say anything, Norin shrugged and said, "Well then, don't. "Now I know why she looks so familiar to me. She looks like my missing sister, he thought. Mâri took all her courage and asked:" Can you get me out of here? "Norin nodded. He noticed that she was still holding the book. He asked: “What kind of book is that you are holding? "But she didn't answer, just pressed the book tighter to her chest.Norin understood and stopped asking. They went out onto the poorly lit corridor. As inconspicuously as possible, he looked at Mari sideways. She was unusually petite and appeared malnourished. Her hair was tangled and dull, save for a strand of red with a mottled duck feather. She swayed slightly as she walked. Obviously she hadn't eaten in a long time. Mari felt his gaze and tried to ignore him, but she couldn't quite succeed. Door she hadn't noticed before. As quietly and quickly as possible, she crept to the door and slipped inside. Inside she looked around. It was in a large library. She looked around with interest. She couldn't read or write, but she didn't care. She wandered back and forth between the shelves until she noticed a very old book bound in red leather. She took it out carefully and looked at the book cover. There were two crossed, gold-plated roses on it.One was withered and withered, but the other was blooming in all its glory. The book was pretty heavy. She was about to open it when she heard the door open. When she couldn't take it any longer, she asked Norin, annoyed: “Can you look elsewhere? "Ashamed, he looked down, but said nothing. The whole time he wondered how he knew her." Where do we have to go now? "Asked Mâri, tearing Norin out of his thoughts. Only now did he notice that they had stopped. Confused, he looked around, as if he had to find his bearings again. Mari looked around, clearly annoyed. They stood at a point where two corridors crossed. Suddenly Norin ran purposefully on. She tried to keep up with his now quick steps, which she did not quite succeed. She kept falling back and forth, and was on the verge of collapsing. Only when she called out Norin's name, gasping for breath, did he stop. He saw what condition she was in and went to her worried.She leaned heavily against the cold stone wall and closed her eyes exhausted. Norin looked at her worriedly. He asked thoughtfully: “Can you keep walking? "Mâri nodded, but he didn't believe her. He eyed her critically. She was in a pathetic condition." I'll carry you. You can't walk ten meters anymore. "And without paying attention to her protests, took he hugged her like an infant and walked on with brisk steps. Mari had stopped fighting. She realized that arguing with him would be of no use. Exhausted, she closed her eyes and after a few moments fell asleep against her will. Norin carried her out of the castle unnoticed. The path wound gently down a hill and led into a forest. The air smelled pleasantly of resin and pine needles. The sun broke through the canopy of leaves and painted bright spots of light on the ground. Norin walked purposefully through the trees.The forest was getting thicker and it was getting colder. In the distance, Norin heard the soft splashing of a brook that flowed around a small hut. The hut was small and stocky. He headed for Norin, hesitated a moment, and then knocked. It remained quiet for a while, only the babbling of the brook could be heard. When he thought there was no one there, he heard soft footsteps from inside the hut. A short time later the door opened. The door opened a crack and a very old woman appeared. In a very fragile voice she asked: “What is your desire for a stranger? I have nothing and I don't give anything. "Norin bowed her head in greeting and said:" I do not want anything. I only have one request for you. "The old woman raised her wide eyebrows suspiciously. The young man
continued undeterred, however, “Could you heal this young woman? A lot is said in the city about your healing skills and the people there appreciate them very much."The old woman pulled the door a little wider, wide enough for Norin to step through with Mâri in her arms. They entered the hut with a low ceiling. The room was crammed with all sorts of things. Two dozen bundles of various herbs hung from the roof beam. On the low table there were clusters of bowls filled with all sorts of pastes, ointments and powders. The scent of all of these had a numbing effect on Norin. He felt sleepy. The old healer startled him from his twilight state by saying, " Put her in bed. ”Norin did as he was told and stepped back so that the healer could take a look at the sleeping Mâri. More wrinkles appeared on her furrowed forehead. ,,What about her? Will she get well again? "Norin's voice trembled with concern. He couldn't explain it, but he felt strangely drawn to this creature. For a while the old woman was silent until she said," I thought they were long gone.It is a miracle that it still exists. "Norin looked at her in surprise. He asked:" What is the matter? Who is she? Can you cure her? "The healer looked at him piercingly. Norin grew increasingly nervous under her gaze. Finally the old woman said: “She belongs to a people that actually became extinct. At least that's what they believed. "" What is she now? "The healer took her time to answer again. “According to tradition, they belong to the first people in the world. She is an Eldrain. "Norin stared at her. Then he looked down at Mâri and looked back at the old healer." It can't be, "he stammered. The healer pointed to the black tattoo under her left cheek. “This is the proof. These three symbols stand - each one - stands for a century of your life. "Norin blinked. He couldn't imagine that the young woman in this bed should be three hundred years old. Doubts crept into him. He didn't want to believe it. How could that be?"According to tradition, the Eldrains left this world six centuries ago. He stared down at the sleeping Mari again and asked again: “Can you heal her? "The old healer got even more serious and began to examine Mari, then she said," I don't know if she will ever be completely healed again. "" Will you try? "Norin's voice was trembling. The healer gave him a piercing look. Then she said," I'll try. Now go please. I have work to do. "

That was the rest of the first chapter. I hope you enjoyed it and expect a lot of clerks ^^
