Bryan was right when he said that finding out that Tauriel and Tuchel were elves was nothing to be surprised about and he didn''t seem surprised by it at all.
It was already clear that these people were from another world that had mystical people and creatures ording to Tania and the fact that Tuchel had asked if elves were existing here was what made Bryan sure there were elves in their world.
"That exins the beanie," La said.
"Yeah, there were a lot of people staring at us so we had to buy the beanies," Tuchel said.
"Yeah and then bought bows and arrows which brought back the staring," Jude said from where he was standing.
"How much did those weapons cost?" La asked.
"Three gold coins each," Tauriel said.
"You guys sure came here with a lot of funds to waste that much on ordinary weapons," La said.
"It was Jude''s money," Tauriel said.
"Oh," La said slowly turning her gaze to Jude. "I heard your parents are rich in your world?"
"They have a good business," Jude said, cing his hand on Bryan''s seat.
"Ok," La said turning her gaze back to the elf twins. "Do you guys have magical abilities?"
"Magical abilities?" Tuchel said with a confused expression on his face.
"Yeah because in most of the fantasy books I''ve read about elves, they have magical abilities," La said.
"I didn''t know you read fantasy books," Bryan said with an amused voice.
"As a kid." La quickly said to defend herself.
"Well, we don''t have magical abilities," Tauriel said. "If we did that detective wouldn''t have been able to do what he did to me."
"Yeah, but we do have a king who is a wizard," Tuchel said.
"A wizard? What kind of wizard?" La asked as this topic was beginning to get more interesting to her.
"The wicked, heartless kind that despises humans to the extent that watching them suffer is a great form of entertainment to him." Jude poured out his heart before any of the elves could answer La''s question.
"Did your king do anything to him?" La asked, pointing at Jude.
"Yeah, he could have killed him," Tuchel said with a nod.
"Why?" La asked.
"Humans and elves don''t have the best of rtionships in my world," Tauriel said. "I and my brother saved Jude from the goblins when we were out on patrol."
"We didn''t want to but we had to bring him to our kingdom so that he wouldn''t lose too much blood and die," Tuchel said.
"Our king threw him into the prison after his wounds got treated," Tauriel said.
"And then he forced me to fight those hybrid beasts, every day I woulde out in that arena and see my life sh before my eyes as those elves sat and cheered every time I was close to death," Jude said with the anger that was burning in his heart right now.
"I defeated the beasts, level one, two, I was closer to death when facing that cobra but thanks to Tauriel, I was able to defeat it."
"How?" La asked.
"I gave him a poisoned dagger," Tauriel said.
"Oh."
"That evil king was so desperate to see me dead that he quickly released another hybrid beast to finish me off as soon as I had killed that formidable cobra," Jude said.
"How did you survive that?" La asked.
"Tauriel saved me, if it weren''t for her I would be dead by now," Jude said.
"She jumped into the arena and killed the beast," Tuchel said before La could ask her question.
"I''m sure the king and the other elves weren''t happy about that," La said.
"Oh, you''re very right about that," Tuchel said. "But sometimes love can make you do things without exactly thinking about the consequences." He muttered to La.
"We managed to escape but...."
"I and my brother are now fugitives from our kingdom because we helped him escape," Tauriel said.
"Ok, that exins a lot about why the three of you are together although elves are humans don''t have great rtionships," La said.
"Yeah, most elves don''t like humans but not all the elves share the same opinion about them," Tauriel said.<sub> </sub>
"Yeah, I can tell elves like you have a lot of things to like about our race," La said looking directly at Jude and Tauriel.
The two had puzzled looks on their faces as they didn''t quite get what she meant by that look.
"Umm... Tauriel." Bryan cut in before La started asking more questions as he had something important to say.
"Yes," Tauriel said, turning her gaze to him.
"You said something earlier before revealing yourselves as elves, something I didn''t quite understand," Bryan said turning to face her.
"What?" Tauriel asked.
"You said, we did go extinct just after La confirmed to you that elves don''t exist in our world," Bryan said. "I took note of the we and extinct, is there something you know that we don''t?"
''I can''t believe I didn''t think of that.'' La thought.
Well, she didn''t think of it because the two had revealed themselves as elves a few seconds after Tauriel said that, and she had gotten carried away with her questions.
"Yeah, I think you should know this," Tauriel said moving closer to Bryan. "This world is a transition of ours."
"A transition, like the future?" Bryan asked.
"Yeah, exactly," Tauriel said.
"Hold on," La said slowly getting up from where she was sitting. "Are you saying that our world is the future of your world?"
"Yeah," Tauriel said with a nod.
"How is that even possible?" The female Lieutenant asked with a perplexed look on her face.
"I don''t know exactly how to exin it, I wish I had that book with me," Tauriel said.
"If what you''re saying is true then that quite exins a few things I seem to have found out about your world rting to ours," Bryan said.
"Things like what?" Jude asked.
"In your world, you have four kingdoms right?" Bryan asked.
"Yeah," Jude replied.
"And on this world, we have four continents," Bryan said.
"I don''t thinkparing kingdoms to continents does justice to what you''re trying to say," La said.
"Wait let me hit my point, La," Bryan said with his gaze still on Jude. "Which kingdommands greater force, has greater influence, and has morend upied in your world?"
"That would be Phoenix," Jude said.
"Okay now guess which continentmands greater force, has greater influence, and has morend upied than the other continents in this world?" Bryan said.
"Which continent?" Jude asked.
"Phoenix of course," Bryan said.
"Okay you''re clear about the Phoenix part but what about the other kingdoms and continents?" La asked.
"What other kingdoms do you have in your world?" Bryan asked.
"Apart from Phoenix, we have Asaka my kingdom, Unelo, and Eukerion," Jude said.
"You have Eukerion there?" La asked with widened eyes.
"I don''t think that''s a coincidence," Bryan said.
