Adventures Of A Goblin

The purpose of the technique is to connect the elves directly to nature thereby drawing power from it.

Orun does not need that because he already has a connection to nature and is able to draw out power whenever he wants, even going as far as amassing the power in him.

"Would you like to learn our technique".

Dilay saw the curiosity on Orun's face and his desire to see the technique up close was also made visible.

"There is no reason to. I am already a force of nature and do not need a technique to connect with it".

Orun was still fascinated by the technique, but his interest had dropped down drastically when he learnt of its purpose.

"What about helping you to have precise control on your elemental powers".

Orun turned his head to look at her with an expression that was meant to ask if she knew what she had just asked him to do?

Orun is an elemental spirit king, a fire elemental with peak affinity with the element.

His control over it will be just as perfect as his title that announces him as the ruler of the element.

"Let me ask you, do you know what the real source of fire is".

The Elven queen felt Orun's gaze on her, and without having to look back at him, she could already tell what it is that was going through his mind.

"The sun. Was that supposed to be a trick question".

Ir was no secret where the originality of fire came from, and what the brightest and most deadly form of fire was.

Everything that has to do with fire can be traced back to the sun. Without it, there would be no day.

Only the harsh cold would rule over the world as one spends their everyday experiencing the same weather condition all over again.

While the sun might have its rebellious moments once in a while, like getting too hot that it starts sun-burning the skin of the extremely fair, and even making those in the dark skin category run back into their abode in fear of it being too hot.

It also has it own good moments and a lot of advantages that one cannot do without.

"What about the origin of the sun? Do you know where it came from".

Now this was a question that was hard for Orun to answer. It had him going mute and deep in his thoughts.

How was he supposed to know how the existence of something that has always been there come to be?

For as long as anyone can remember, the sun has always been there watching and making the world brighter for us to live in.

There have been several speculation concerning its origin, most of it coming out from religious context.

But so far, there is none of those speculations that have been proven to be true.

They are just what they make it sound, speculations.

"I assume you know what it is".

Orun has no idea what it is, and he isn't going to lie about that or put up a fake story to save his face.

He says it as he knows it, that is not going to kill him nor do anything to harm him.

Also, the Elven queen asking could mean that she knows something about it, or perhaps she is just asking for the sake of it.

He won't know which of them it is until he asks her directly.

"Actually, I do".

Orun did not expect her to know anything concerning that. He might have asked her, but he did it under the presumption of hoping she would know, not that she actually knows anything about it.

"The sun's existence could be traced back to the beginning of the world. Born out of the creator's and ended up with a name...... Oh my, I seem to have said too much".

The Elven queen put an abrupt stop on her sentence when she was about to call out the name.

She left Orun hanging once more, looking at her with eyes demanding that he not be put in suspense.

"It seems you are very fond on leaving someone in suspense".

"Is that so?"

Dilya the Elven queen, lightly giggled after she answered him, revealing her bright smile.

It was the first time Orun had seen a change in her stern looking expression.

"It is. And I have to tell you, it is not very polite or healthy to do so".

Orun's word told her clearly what she has been doing to him all this while and how he does not find it very funny or acceptable.

"I told you. In due time, I will tell you whatever it is you want to know. Now however is not the time".

"If now isn't the time, then why did you invite me to come at this moment?"

All she would have done is push it forward to when she was ready to tell him what he wants to know before sending him the invitation.

"If your plan is to keep me here as a result of me being the successor of the fire guardian..."

"I can assure you Fire king that I have intention of forcing you to stay here with us. Everything will all be decided by you".

Dilya cut him off before he could threaten her, making it known to him that what he is thinking of is not what she plans on doing.

"Enough about us. What about going down to the arena grounds to contest? What better way to enjoy an arena grounds than taking in the view in person rather than as a spectator".

Dilya had her gaze turned back in the direction of the arena, her eyes on Haera who was still receiving the cheers of the spectators.

"Was this your plan? Pick someone who is weak to go against someone stronger than them. Have them lose and apologize for the boring show then bring up an excuse to have me go down there in person to fight".

It all fits perfectly in the puzzle, but the real question is why? Does she want to watch how strong he is or is she just interested in watching him fight?
