� Human, where are you going without me? You look pale! Are you sick? Should I come over?

�No, don�t come. Please don�t come.�

Cale cautiously shook his head before taking a step up the staircase. It was at that moment.

He heard something from right behind him.

�Ah, hey mister, are you drunk? Why do you keep bumping into people?�

�I�m truly sorry. He is usually not like this.�

Yes, it was from right behind him.

Cale heard something bumping behind him at the same time as the discussion. Cale clenched onto the rail of the staircase.

�Why is he coming to me when he has an Elemental?�

Cale found this to be odd. The Elemental should have recognized the spinning Raon, so why was the Elf headed toward him? Did Raon�s scent get on him because Raon always stuck to him?

Cale quickly took another step.

�Excuse me-.�

Cale could feel goosebumps on his back as the voice started to speak right behind him. Should he turn around? The thought going through his mind was one of their being surrounded by the Elves praising Raon while he could do nothing but crouch there in disbelief. Something happened while he continued to worry about it.

�Who are you?�

�What do you want?�

Choi Han and Ron got in between the robed individual and Cale. Cale started to smile.

�Right. I had these guys.�

Cale slowly turned around.

He could see the Elf being blocked by Choi Han and Ron underneath the staircase.

He couldn�t see the unique ears of the Elves, but he could see the Elf�s eyes underneath the slightly lifted hood. Cale looked down into those eyes and started to speak.

�What do you want?�

The Elf flinched as the other Elf chasing behind him grabbed his arm.

�Ahjussi! Why are you acting like this?� (Ahjussi is a way to address a middle-aged man who is not related to you. )

Cale caught a glimpse of the face of the Elf in the back. JrNovels.com
