Chapter 5 : Epith's choice.


He held his sword high up to the sky, pledging that he shall fight back with all his faith and his own life.
Deep dark covered the land, the forces of darkness engaged attacks on them, Countless numbers of monsters rushed rapidly blocking all the arrows elves were shooting, breaking down the castle walls. When all the monsters attacked at once, they couldn't defend themselves anymore. Many elves and humans bled to death. Elderine came out to the battlefield with her wounded body.
Far away she could see Epith. Her brother's eye color turned black and his hair color turned grey. Epith looked into her eyes and raised his hand high up.
Elderine shut her eyes close. Humans and Elves were no match to the fallen Elves over ten times stronger and faster than the monsters.
That very moment, something unbelievable happened. The fallen elves suddenly started attacking the monsters with incredible speed. The monsters died off without resistance by this totally unexpected attack. Elderine's shaking eyes were facing Epith. He madly attacked the monsters as if trying to make up to his sins.
Elderine's heart became warm. She started casting a spell with all her spirit towards Roumen.
"Attack!! Follow me!!"
Roumen shouted with his brave voice. The light that burst out of Elderine's chest spread into the night sky. Light of bless filled the hearts of Elves and Humans.
The fallen elves once blinded by greed cheered with happiness that the spirit came back into their souls. They weren't completely defiled. They were only hypnotized by the god of greed.
The elves begged for forgiveness of their sins, kneeling in front of Elderine. Elderine said she would willingly forgive them. Forgiveness to her has always been waited and waited.
Elderine looked for Epith, calling his name thinking he would be lying somewhere wounded. Yet she couldn't find Epith anywhere in the blood shed battlefield. No dead body, no trace whatsoever. Epith left because he couldn't forgive his blunder. Roumen kindly talked to Elderine. She had been grieving all night.
"Epith did not leave you for good. He must have thought there was no way to cleanse his sins. He only went on a journey far away for atonement.
Elderine could overcome her sadness by Roumen's words.
She gave the Elves of Epith that came back to the world of bless a new name "Dark Elf", embraced them as eternal companions.
Also, she built a tall tower made of stone to praise the harmony of humans and elves, dark elves and also so that Epith can return at anytime.
