He fell.
I just didn't expect him to fall on me.
That's right. I am now stuck.
But what was that? What was that lightning? Is it the gauntlets or is the power mine? Having amnesia sucks.
"Looks like you could use some help."
It was the elf
"Do you wanna return the favor now?"
He just smiled and helped me get out from under the body.
"Should we finish them off?" I asked after dusting myself off.
"We could probably just let them be. I mean you already killed the leader, I don't think they will come chasing us."
"You're interesting."
"Why?"
"They kidnapped you and you still are not sure if you want to kill them."
"Eh, no need to stoop down to their levels."
"Let's at least tie them up."
So we tied them up to the same post the elf was tied to. After that we sat down to eat by the fire.
"Name's Kaelen by the way" he said "Thank you for helping me out."
"You mean saving your ass?"
"Yeah, that. Also, who are you if you don't mind me asking?"
I go on to explain to him how I have amnesia and how I believe my name is Twister. I also explain to him how I got here to save him in the first place.
"You're on one hell of a journey…"
"I guess so… How did you end up here? Why did they kidnap you?"
"Well, I am an elf that got excommunicated from his village a couple years ago. I have ever since been travelling the world, just trying to find my place here. And they just came across me and kidnapped me. Elves might be selling for a good price."
"You really cannot find any place you can call your home?"
"No, not really. It's a tough world. I'm not too big on bloodshed nor do I have any outstanding abilities and the way this world works is you can only be truly a part of a community if you are born to it or you are bringing something worthy. No one is willing to help out for a little bit just to help out. They all want something in return."
