In the morning, Linza visited me in my room. She told me, "Lord Eryndor has returned alongside Lady Allennor, and she has asked to meet you in the garden pavilion in two hours, so be ready".
When leaving, she said, "I have arranged appropriate clothes for you, and a maid will bring them shortly. Be sure to wear them."
I didn't say much and said yes
After a short while, a maid came with clothes and placed them on the table, asked me to change, and come to the pavilion. I nodded, and she left my room.
I was nervous about what might happen to me if they didn't trust me, but I had to go there for them to know that I'm not a threat to them or their nation, so I changed into the clothes Lina arranged. It was a black tunic with golden stripes on the edges and had a unique design, unlike the one I was wearing before; its texture and fabric were also of much higher quality, they were smooth and felt good to the skin, and had strange patterns on them.
I liked it better than what I had worn before, the design and the fabric.
After changing, I went to the pavilion. It was empty, I guess they hadn't arrived yet, it makes sense cause I came half an hour earlier.
After fifteen minutes, I saw Eryndor with a lady Elf who had dark green hair, and she was in a beautiful green and golden dress and had an exquisite expression; she looked like she could take on the world. Maybe she was Lady Allennor.
Behind them was an elder lady who had white hair and wore a white and grey monk-like outfit. Maybe she is Lady Allennor, I couldn't tell.
They came to the pavilion. Eryndor was about to say something, but before he did, the green-haired lady said, " So this is the so-called threat. Are you afraid of kids now, Eryndor?"
"You'll see," Eryndor said to her with an annoyed expression.
After that, while looking at me, she said, "Hello, I am Allennor Bloomsberg. It's nice to meet you." Then she pointed towards the elder lady and said, "And this lady Hira, but we call her elder Hira." She is one of seven great elders of the elves, so address her with respect. "There is no need for such things, " Elder Hira said.
"Why are you two greeting him like he is some guest? Have you forgotten that he is a prisoner? and a dangerous one at that," Eryndor said.
Lady Allennor looked at him and said, "You still haven't felt it? Are you still sealing your magic?" he shifted his eyes. I had never seen Eryndor like this. His expressions showed a hint of guilt.
Elder Hira smiled and said, "Don't worry, he will be fine." Then she approached me and asked, "What's your name, child?"
"Si-Silas," I answered, then she looked at Eryndor and nodded. Then they both sat on a bench in the pavilion, and Lady Allennor asked me to come out of the pavilion. She said, "Stay calm, this won't hurt you."
Then she snapped her fingers, and storage vines started to grow from the ground. They wrapped around my wrists and bound me in a place, then she said, "Silas, try to break these vines with your mana; physical strength won't work on these vines. try your best unless...."
"I-I can't use mana, or magic, and unless what? I really can't use magic," I said nervously.
She smiled or maybe smirked and said, "Just try your best" with a very suspicious smile on her face.
I tried to break the vines with all my strength, but both happened. But I kept on trying, but nothing happened the more I forced used, the stronger they got.
"Didn't I say brute force won't work? Use your mana to sever them," she said.
"And I said I can't use it," I replied with an annoyed and irritated tone.
Then she pointed her towards me, and said, "I'm also known as the Lady of the Forest, I let you guess why." Then the grass under her turned into many pointy vines with surprisingly beautiful flowers.
And suddenly, one of them attacked me. I barely dodged it by quickly turning my upper body, but my face still got a small cut from it.
Before I got over the shock, two more vines came at me, and I didn't have the time to dodge. I thought Am I going to die here . My heart started racing. The vines were only a few inches away from turning me into a dead body.
Then I felt a strange feeling in my chest, first it felt like my heart stopped, and then everything froze, and then in an instant, I felt a surge energy me and the vines that attacked me, and the ones wrapped around my wrists, were shattered into small pieces, and all the grass and the flowers all bloomed and had beautiful flowers.
