Chapter 123 - Galadriel

Many years ago, there lived a small family of three Elves in a small corner of the world. A husband and a wife with their son lived peacefully in that remote corner. 

As time passed, so did the parents of the child. Dying of old age, they had a smile on their face as their last moments came. The duo had only one small wish, that is, for their child to live the way he wants.

"Galadriel, go south from here and find Malie, the Dwarf. Tell him your full name and ask him to take you to Alfheim, the country of Elves. It will be your new life after our time comes. Live happily son! That is all we want for you. Make us proud of your name, haha," he spoke to Galadriel with a joyous smile as he looked at his son.

After they passed away, Galadriel gave a proper burial to them and left for his journey as he left the house in which he had lived forever, for the last time.

On his journey, Galadriel met various types of people, some cruel and some kind. Some who were shameless to some who were humble enough to let him travel with them. 

Soon, he reached Malie's place and told him everything that had happened and about his parents wish. Galadriel and Malie connected very fast as they laughed and joked about every moment of their life.

Malie helped Galadriel in more than one way, as he took care of the Elf as his own child. To scold him when he made mistakes, to take care of him when he was worried or scared, Malie helped Galadriel out in every way possible.

Their journey to Alfheim took their bond to another level, when Galadriel almost gave his life to save Malie's. 

Somewhere along the journey, they found a girl. A naked girl lying unconscious in the forest. Looking at her properly, she was a human, and a pretty weak one, with her age being about 8 years in human terms.

After helping her dress, they woke her up, only to result in her being horrified as she looked at them.

She then started speaking something in a language that they could not understand. Galadriel then used communication magic and asked her name.

She looked shocked a bit before speaking. 

"Where is Aether? Did you see a boy with black hair and back eyes? He was wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. Tell me please!! Do you know where he is?"

Galadriel and Malie looked at each other before nodding as Malie spoke." we haven't found anyone else as far as we could see. Are you sure your companion was with you?"

The girl then speaks with a shaken voice," he isn't? Just...Wait!! Where am I? And….who...what are you?..Huh? Elf?...is this a roleplay?" 

Galadriel looked at the girl for a few moments before speaking," tell me everything that is on your mind."

She looks at Galadriel before nodding and speaking, "I am Layla…"

She then explains about an unknown world and how she was travelling in that world and an incident took place that knocked her unconscious and the next thing she knew was that she woke up here. Her companion, Aether Rodriguez, had put his life on the line to protect her.

Malie's expression was ridiculed before he sighed and told her,"young girl, listen carefully. What I am about to tell you might sound ridiculous to you but listen to it, because your very life depends on it. You see, you have been bought in this world…"

Malie then explained how this world works, and how other rules are set in this world. He even revealed his own system as he told his story along with it. Galadriel had a shocked face as he heard the truth of the world.

Malie looked at Layla with pity in his eyes, as Layle seems to not be able to accept the truth at all. She started shouting Aether's name over and over before losing consciousness.

After she passed out, Malie and Galadriel didn't talk. They just stayed silent as they did their work and moved on with their journey, taking Layla along with them.

Layla soon wakes up, only to get her eyes widened before a sorrowful expression forms on her face. She looks at her new companions with an odd look as tears start to form in her eyes. She sulks and cries until hunger takes over her and a growl is heard.

They took a break before starting their journey once again. Since there was no problem, Layla joined them as they moved towards Alfheim.

They reached Alfheim only to find that Humans are especially banned in that country. Not being able to leave Layla behind, Galadriel started living along with Layla in the forest. Malie lived with them for a few months before bidding goodbye to them for important reasons.

Years passed by and many things happened during those years. Layla and Galadriel fell in love with each other as Layla grew up to be a beautiful woman. They lived together and gave birth to a pure Elf that was allowed to enter Alfheim. Their Son turned out to be a genius and by some stroke of luck, Alfheim accepted Layla into their country. At first there was tension between Layla and the others, but soon, given the behavior of Layla to those around her, that too became smooth. 

Everything was working fine and all three of them were living a small but beautiful life. It wasn't a grand life but…

One day, when the family of three went for an outing, something happened, something that changed the very core of the life they used to live. 

A Female God descended in front of them and…

"My son wants a human transmigrated female pet who should be beautiful. You are his now," and took her away as fast as the female God came.

"Huh?" The duo was confused. What happened? Just what could have happened?

"Geralt, go back to Alfheim and report what happened, " spoke Galadriel as he had despair in his voice. His son Geralt nodded as he, too, looked shocked at this sudden change. Soon, he ran towards Alfheim.

Galadriel, who had a panicked yet complicated face, searched for Layla...he searched and searched and searched...he continued his search which gradually....crumbled his mental stability. His eyes turned tired yet still searching for the one he loved. He started forgetting about everything...except the one he loved...years passed, yet no news of her came. It became as if she didn't even exist. 

Then…

"There is a way to see her," a voice came from behind him.

"What?!?" Spoke Galadriel with an angry and irritated voice as he was lying in a certain corner of a certain Dwarf city 

"There is a way to see Layla," the voice spoke once again. Galadriel's eyes widened as he looked carefully at the source of the voice only to find a white clothed man looking at him in an emotionless state.

"Become a God. Increase your life beyond a certain level, even if it is a taboo. It is one of the sure ways to become a God," the man spoke as he looked at him.

Galadriel looked at him with a serious expression as his voice turned slightly solemn and he answered," Okay."

The man speaks to Galadriel," okay. Someone will contact you after you become a God." And vanishes from that place.

Galadriel then searched for ways to increase his life beyond the limit. After trying his best, he found out about the time-related artifacts that were scattered all around the world. 

This marked the journey in which he killed and destroyed everything in his path, his name as the vengeful Elf spread everywhere. Blood flowed on the ground from where he passed from. After a bloody journey of massacres and murders, he finally attained all the artifacts he could.

To not get caught by anyone else, Galadriel chose a small village and took the slow but sure way of achieving Godhood. Time passed as centuries flew in the time space he created. He persisted and persisted. For revenge, for what they had done to him, for everything that they made him. He prepared his best. And soon he reached Godhood.

Someone really contacted him but…

"I want to see a war." He was a child, or it would be more appropriate to call him a God with childish behaviour.

The 'God' explained how he was bored as he couldn't participate in the contest of the champions and the next contest is so many years away. So he wanted to see a war.

A war where one of the races goes extinct, a war where one of the sides loses brutally. He wanted to see something like that.

Knowing that the child in front of him was a God, Galadriel wanted to kill that kid right in front of him, but his instincts warned him otherwise.

That was the moment Galadriel finally lost all hope to live and prepared to die but,

"In return I will...let's say...I'll let you see my pet." 

Those words were enough to send chills down Galadriel's spine as anger took over him and he finally attacked him, but…

"Pathetic." says the child as he pushes him to the ground with a flick.

"I will let you see my pet and kill you there. If you can't do the work, I'll find someone else to do the work." Speaks the child as he vanishes from there 

Galadriel's eyes lost their light as a blank expression forms on his face. Tears start coming out of his eyes as he loses control of his emotions. He shouts and cries, and cries before getting numb as he decides to die.

That is….

To die after he sees his wife, Layla.
