Lalaith."
Hitari gets a bit nervous: "But I'm not bothering me at all! You are ...", she could not finish her sentence, then he holds his graceful finger over her mouth: "Shhh ...! Come."
He leads her back through the forest, back to the little castle and takes her to the upper floor of the facility: "Sit down."
Hitari sits down at a noble glass table. The iron supporting leg represents overgrown roses. Elulass comes back with two cups of aromatic tea and sits down next to her: "Tell me before you, Nanami and Pearl come."
Hitari takes a sip of the hot tea: "Hmm, it tastes good ... We don't really know where Pearl comes from, but I suspect that it comes from Caras.After all, she tells us that the towers of Caras are the towers of her home. Well, in Caras, Pearl was only a guest in an inn. So we don't know where it comes from. Next question please. "
Elulass: "You didn't quite answer my question. Where are you and Nanami from?"
Hitari: "We come from a distant country."
Elulass: "The country can't be so far that I don't know it. Do you come from an island around Amar?"
Hitari: "No, even further away! Really far away from Amar. On the other side of this globe."
Elulass: "On the other side of the globe is only Aearon."
Hitari: "Yes, we come from Aearon too!", She taps on the table as if a map were lying in front of her.
Elulass: "That can't be. Aearon is the sea and you certainly won't come from the sea"
Hitari: "How do you know where we come from?"
Elulass laughs modestly: "There are no human beings that come out of the sea."
Hitari jumps up and walks around sourly in the room: "My goodness, you have orcs, elves, little dwarfs and witches but not mermaids?This is really poor! Isn't it enough for you that I tell you that we don't come from here ?! "
Elulass: "Calm down."
Hitari: "But I can't calm down! Nanami and I don't belong here! In the beginning we found it funny and exciting to be in this strange world, but now that we know the dangers in this country, the people's hatred the Elves, this violence, the misery ... now we just want to go back home. "
Elulass: "Where is your home?"
Hitari says on his knees: "We come from Ambar. Ambar is an existing world, just like Amar. An earthquake brought us here and two elves from your world to us."
Elulass: "You speak in riddles!"
Hitari gets up, sits back at the table and leans on the glass plate: "Oh no, my friend, I don't speak in riddles! You understand me well, just don't want it to be true! We are, so to speak, aliens come from another world! "
Elulass: "How exactly did you get here?"Hitari: "Hm ... It all happened because of an earthquake. But should I tell you the story?"
Elulass nods: "Tell me everything, I have time."
Hitari replies: "You didn't want it any other way. It started on a hot summer's day. It was just school and Nanami and I made ourselves comfortable under our favorite oak tree like almost every day. Because it's so unbearably hot I suggested going to the cooler library, which we did. Well, you can't stay long in the library without a book, so we looked for a book. By chance we got a book that was 100 years old . The author is still unknown to us, in any case it described this world full of miracles. We were immediately spellbound by this book, by this peace and harmony in this world. Inwardly, I flee in the fantasy of this land. I wish I would be in this world and all of a sudden the earth shook up below us, then suddenly it went very quickly.Something mirror-like was unexpected in the bark of the oak and on the other side we saw Gil and Inu with arrows pointing at us. When the hole closed again, Gil came and held out her hand to the watery hole. Your hand then arrived with us a little delayed. Nanami and I accepted and were pulled into the hole. That was incredible. We fell along the two elves, although I don't even know whether we fell or rose. And then there was scythe. I didn't come to until a short time later. We found ourselves in old Hiril's library. She told us about the current history of the country and, through Nanami's talent, sent us on a journey to the mines. Probably mentioned without combat experience! So it went well up to Caras, but I will never forgive myself for what happened to us out there! I almost lost Nanami and all because I don't know how to fight! "
Elulass: "So you and Nanami come from another world?"
Hitari answers slightly annoyed: "Yeah!"He gets up and goes to an arched window: "Then it is true!", He seems a little confused: "Then it really is. A fairy tale is told among elves that an invisible gate opens every 100 years, what can only be discovered and entered by pure hearts. The gate leads into a world that every living being in Amar hopes for. An ideal world without wars, living in blissful harmony. And you come from this world! Your hearts are from the bottom up so pure that you could enter the gate! "
Hitari jumps up, runs up to him and grabs him by the things: "Stop dreaming! There is no ideal world where the fox and the rabbit say good night! Even I had to find out. So don't start with that either Ambar suffers from us humans: we wage wars, we pollute the air with exhaust gases and chemicals that we release into the air, we kill our neighbors, maybe even our own spouse, because that makes us more wealthy.Our world is bad, very bad. Better be glad that you live here. At least you can breathe here without worrying that you will blow your lungs. "
Elulass: "Hm ..."
Hitari: "Hm ?! HM ?! Nothing more? You can only see that there is no such thing as a perfect world. Everyone finds advantages and disadvantages in their home. At the moment I only find advantages in my home. They are all at home! Mine Mama, my papa, Kaikyo ... All ... ", her voice begins to tremble:" ... I want to go back home! ", She loosens her grip on his things and bursts into tears. Elulass hugs her and hugs her tighter. Hitari's tears run down her face as if every single tear washes away a piece of her grief. She clings to him and buries her face in his chest. He comfortingly caresses Hitari, one head shorter, over her dark hair. Then she slowly calms down again and she loosens her grip. Elulass hands her a silk cloth, which he took from a delicate chest of drawers, with which Hitari wipes her tears.They sit back at the table and Hitari takes a long sip of her tea.
Elulass: "How are you feeling?"
Hitari takes a deep breath as if listening to herself: "I feel very relieved ... I feel strong! I could uproot trees!"
Elulass: "That was also the point of this conversation. You should open yourself up. Because only with a heart and a soul that is not covered by pain, anger or even sadness can a warrior fight and in you there is a warrior soul that already does scratching the shell of the egg. My job is to break this shell with your help ... Do you feel strong enough to go out and fight? "
Hitari looks up, towards the window: "... Yes ... Yes! Let's go train!"
"And I'll come with you!" it sounds from the door. Nanami, who is still walking around in the white shirt, stands there strengthened.
Elulass: "Very good, then we'll see you in the forest clearing."

The sun approaches the horizon as Nanami and Hitari train with their swords in the evening glow.Elulass joins his horse, which he ties to a tree after it descends: "I see you are already training."
Hitari and Nanami say, "Yes!"
Elulass: "Hitari, I would like to ask you to wait a while, I would like to test Nanami on her handling of the sword."
Hitari: "Hm ... All right! I'll go over to the horse."
She leaves the two of them.
Elulass: "You are not good at sword fighting."
Nanami: "How do you want to know?"
Elulass: "I saw that from your blows and defenses."
She looks down a little sadly: "Pearl also said that Hitari is better at sword fighting, but Pearl thinks that I manage better with a bow and arrow !!"
Elulass: "Really? That's what she says? Then show me what you can do! ... Em, shoot that tree over there and hit it by the branch's eye."
Nanami: "Well, I'll try!
Elulass: "You shouldn't try, you should do it!"
Nanami looks at him questioningly. Elulass makes waving signs that she should begin.In her mind she lets the words of Elulass go through her head again> What does he mean by that: I shouldn't try, I should do it ... Don't try, but do ... <She buzzes with these words the whole time her head while aiming her eye on the target. Desperate, she whispers to herself: "I will never make it. I can count myself lucky if I at least hit the tree when I walk away." Suddenly it occurs to her. She draws her bow and shoots. The arrow lands in the tree in a flash, right in the eye of the severed Astest. Nanami hardly believes her eyes: "Oh my God! I can't believe it! I hit!"
Elulass applauds her: "Very good! I knew you could do it!"
Nanami happily turns to Elulass: "And suddenly it was so easy! Before I was tormented by the thought of whether my arrow would make it there. But then I said to myself, I will make it and lo and behold, it worked!"
Elulass: "That's exactly what I wanted from you.You shouldn't get discouraged. And I have to say you are really good! "
Nanami curtsies politely and embarrassingly and thanks them a few times.
Elulass: "Point your arrows at these trees in the east, I will ride through the forest and scare off a few Garafs. You are to scout out and judge the evil Garaf of the Horde."
"But how will I recognize the" bad "Garaf?" she asked nervously.
Elulass is confident: "You will see that."
Elulass whistles for his horse, which is trotting towards him. He sits up and rides through the forest. Nanami can't see anything through the dense forest, but then she hears something rustling. A mixture of yapping and gasping nourishes the clearing. Nanami draws them bows and waits for the first visual contact. There it is, the first eye contact with the frightened wolves: "Garafs? Those are
