Chapter 23 - Quest from Irene(Ectan)

Henry who left the capital is finally on his way to Verna but with a short quest on his way. He is on his way to the city Ectan, a city that leads to the great forests of elves. The elven kingdom has three princesses, with the elder princess acting as the queen of the kingdom and the other two as the generals of the elven army.

The kingdom of the elves borders the kingdom of dwarfs. The dwarfs were considered most important, as they were able to create various machinations and provided the most support in the war with the demons. The elves who were conservative hid in their forest refusing to support the war until the arrival of King Dan. During the war the dwarfs were given access to the mountains of elves where a huge deposit of minerals was found. The conservative elves agreed to this on the favour for king Dan. But, After the war has ended the elves refused the entry of dwarfs inside their territory, not mining or even trading . As a result, a rivalry grew between the two kingdoms and they are in constant war. The elves using the terrain as advantage has defended the territory and the war is still going on. King Dan who once united the kingdoms couldn't do anything in this situation. The reasons were, the dwarfs provided the most support doing the war as a result the ministers of his objected to him interfering in this conflict.

The quest that Henry was given, was to deliver a medicine to the queen of elves, who is supposedly close to princess Irene. No other informations were given to him. Now he rides on his mecha cat with night on his shoulders he rides to the Ectan, one of the city that borders the elven kingdom. 

The great forest of the elves holds many mystical creatures like the small wind wisps and the burrowing visks. The forest is said to be protected by a divine being, as it stays green throughout the year. The city that is in immediate access to the elven kingdom is Ectan. Due to its geography only this city has more elven population when compared with the other two cities that borders the elven kingdom.

Now Henry who has reached Ectan, has got a huge problem. The problem of money. After applying some new changes to his robotic arm and to his ride he is left with little to no money. So, he decides to take on a small quest at the adventures guild in Ectan. As he exits the guild he sees a small group of soldiers who's ears were pointy wearing light armour looking royal. As he stands there among the crowd ,"The number of elven soldiers as been increasing for the few days" "They are the royal guards of the elven kingdom directly under the queen" " They seem to be searching for someone" " Could it be a dangerous person". He heard the people whispering among them. With a little bit of curiosity he thought "Could that be true". But as his stomach growled he decided to not think about it. Then he went to a burger stand and spent all his remaining money to fill his stomach.

After having his fill , he goes to a small village to the east that borders the nearby city. He has taken on the quest of eliminating the monsters that keeps emerging from the great forest, destroying the fields of the village. The lords of the nearby lands has sent a small army to protect the fields, however they were too little in number as they deemed the village as not part of their land. Hence, the villagers put on the quest at the adventures guild. So, Henry is set join this small group of adventures at the village.

Meanwhile in the great forest the mystical creatures, the wisps and the visks gathered together at a particular place within the forest. "Thank you, guys" a slow voice came from the center of the gathering.
