Chapter 616 Escape Of The Youngs [Pt 1]

One by one, the Young Ones began to wake up from their slumber.

It only took about an hour for them to wake up after all succumbing to the overpowering sleep that befell all of them seemingly at once.

Once they opened their eyes, they found themselves in a strange room.

It looked like a place made with sand, but the walls and floors were dense and thick—like bricks. The ceiling had a similar look to it. Luminous stones served as light, and a comfy moss-looking material—almost like a mattress—covered the immediate ground where the Elves were previously sleeping on. It reminded them of the structures from back home, but the Elves knew they weren't there.

They were in a strange place.

As the last of them flicked her eyes open, she saw the rest of her sisters still disoriented, trying to figure out where they were and what happened to them.

The only one who hadn't woken up yet was their Elder—Gratiana La Shanagari.

She still seemed to be in deep sleep, and none of the Young Ones knew what to do to get her to wake up. Some had tried shoving her, but she remained unconscious through it all.

Afterward, chaos ensued.

"W-what do we do now?"

"Why are you asking me? We need Lady Gratiana's help!"

"B-but Lady Gatiana has not yet woken up!"

"What do we do without her!"

"Big sis...!" The source of this content no/v(el)bi((n))

"I'm so confused!"

About four dozen teenage-looking girls were acting like disorderly kids due to the absence of their leader. None of them found it strange, and that was because it wasn't.

All Elves were taught the virtue of dependence.

Young Ones had to be dependent on the Elders. Elders had to be dependent on the Esteemed Elders, and those were to be dependent on The Oracle.

Every Elf was valuable, and every one individual was to serve the whole—just as the whole was to serve every individual.

"I'm not sure, but this is most likely the fortress that stood behind those vermin who attacked us. We're being held prisoner here..."

"Ohhh...!" Dread filled their faces as soon as they heard that.

Even though they were impressed that Deli could deduce that much, they were worried for their safety and also the safety of their Elder.

"D-do you think... they want to breed us?"

"They want to make more Half Breed abominations? No way!"

"R-remember what Big Sis told us about those humans! All of this is very much possible!"

"I-in that case... we have to follow her counsel."

"Y-you mean...?"

"Yes! Let us kill ourselves! Our deaths will ensure the balance in Nature is kept, and we will preserve the integrity of our Elven Heritage."

The Young Ones all displayed relief the moment they realized that hope wasn't lost yet. They could prevent the worst-case scenario by sacrificing their lives and becoming one with Nature.

It was the greatest act of love, honor, and sacrifice.

But—

"L-let's save that as a last resort. For now, we follow the plan and try to escape." Deli swiftly spoke up, a bead of sweat on her face.

"A-ahh! You are correct, Deli!"

"We should swiftly escape and return to the Community and request the assistance of the Esteemed Elders."

"Indeed! They will definitely deal with these fiends for us!"

With their spirits raised, the Elves all rose to their feet and huddled together. Using Magic, they created a bubble and kept their dear Elder within it to better protect her and take her with them as they made their grand escape.

"Ready, everyone?" Deli stared at a particular wall, her eyes glimmering with determination, and a somewhat awkward smile playing on her face.

The others nodded and looked at the obstacle before them before yelling together.

"READY!"
