The Priestess Of Rodona 96 Chapter 96

It had suddenly started to rain like there was no tomorrow.

It seemed like the why was crying buckets of water and raging as they heard the thunder in distance rumbling and making the sky sing its song.

Suddenly they heard knocking coming out from the doors.

Everyone drew their weapons out just in case that it would be a polite robber's this time as you could ever know.

Suddenly the door was pushed open, and Tam, who recognized the person, said.

"Wait, don't shoot or do anything; it was that person who gave me the gem." While lowering his weapon showing that there was no danger.

"Ja ki me no lo pont ther ole." The person said, seemingly panicking while pulling Tam's hands, trying to bring him outside to the pouring rain.

"Jaana, can you go with Tam this time as I don't know how my artificial joints will work in the rain as it seems something is wrong now.

Here take the crossbow with you, and you still have the emergency talisman that I have the copy with, right?

So break it if you need anything, and I will immediately come there." Levin said while Elvire gave her a crossbow to Jaana.

Jaana put her hood on and went outside with Tam, and the person leading them was impatiently trying to get them to follow.

They followed this mysterious person to the forest near the village, and suddenly they saw that there was a group of people precisely they looked like dark elves as they had pointy ears and darker skin color than usual.

Tam's friend removed her hood, and now they saw that it was her a young dark elf who was pulling Tam closer to an elder.

Jaana placed the crossbow to the spatial pocket but still ready to pull it out at any moment if there was even a hint of danger.

The dark elf stopped and bowed down in front of an older dark elf and started to say something with their language, and the elder nodded before saying.

"ic pro haven't spoken sê reordian of humans lâst while. So ic pro wênung landriht 'land−right duguð ceorllic tunge is swîge ðone as self than hê was samod mîn hýðnes." The elder said in the ancient tongue of humans that hasn't been used at least for a hundred years.

"Sorry, I cannot understand the old dialect at all," Tam said while showing out his confusion.

The elder asked Tam to come closer by sign language, and when Tam stepped closer, the elder touched Tam's hand, and after a while, he woke up and said.

"Better in the language are I now? It's been a while when last I saw humans and have spoken with them." The elder said still somewhat struggling with the language but getting better with every sentence that was spoken out.       

"Yes, elder, I can understand you now.

Why did you ask me here?" Tam asked out while looking around.

"We have lots of sick and elderly here; the food you provided was our meal in a longtime, so we are still asking your kindness.

Can we spent the rest of the night at the church of your humans or the near down house to get shelter for the sick?" The elder asked out while looking at Tam.

"Jaana, it's your decision as it's your family who are occupying the church now," Tam said while stepping backward letting Jaana come front of him.

"Human we can pay; we still have lots of precious gems and items that might be useful to you if that is what matters." The elder said while looking at Jaana now.

"Even when I don't trust you as you know dark elves and humans doesn't have the best history at all, but as we don't own the church we cannot say no, but we will divide the church to half, and you will stay at your side that no problems will happen," Jaana said honestly, as dark elves were dark attributed creatures who were surrounded by death.

Usually, they were living near graveyards or places with lots of dark elements, so Humana labeled them as filthy and unholy creatures that should be purged out of the world along with other dark creatures.

Of course, some countries were more acceptable towards them, but still, there have been lots of indigents in the past that cannot be fixed anymore, leaving the humans with the dark elves and the dark elves wary the humans.

"Thank you for this opportunity we promise that nothing will happen." The elder said while bowing down to Jaana, who still didn't like the idea of a bunch of dark elves lingering around her family.

'But at least they asked first as they could had stormed inside the church, and it would have been a bitter fight then so I should give them a chance.' Jaana said to herself in her mind as if they were desperate enough to try and eat spoiled food; they couldn't be that dangerous.
