I would have answered the tall ladyâs question like a pushover, but I was different now.
I wasnât stronger than the high elf lady, oh dearie no. Just from my eyes, I could sense how dense and tall her mana pool was, unlike her height.
But, how could I be scared of a race belonging to a being who Iâm dearly in love with. But seriously, this high elf lady is really short.
âYou just made fun of my height, didnât you?â
I immediately shook my head. âNo, I didnât.â
âYes, you did,â The high elf lady was shaking. âYou incorrigible, rude fool. You and your species know nothing but debauchery. Listen carefully, wench!â
The âhighâ elf lady proceeded to throw her hand out to the side, whipping her red-golden cape back in a manner of utmost haughtiness.
âI am the unchaperoned, the single one, the future seeker of knowledge, Fayeth Shorh!â
I tried my best not to let out a chortle at her last name. Her parents knew what they were doing by giving her such a wonderful last name. And, the future seeker of knowledge? From my knowledge of the game, I donât remember any short, high elf being a seeker of knowledge.
âYou would do well to remember my name,â Fayeth said, flipping her silver hair back.
âWow,â I deadpanned, giving her an applause. She seemed to like it since her lips curled into an arrogant smile. Oh wow, I donât like her already. Aegis, my pegasi snorted in derision which brought Miss Fayeth back to reality.
âI almost forgot. How did you stumble upon a pegasi?â Fayeth asked with greed in her eyes. âAnd how on earth did a mere human manage to tame it?â
For some reason, Fayeth seemed like an absolutely fun person to tease. I remember, I had a friend like Fayeth, always boisterous and loud, always giving the best reactions. Oh, how I miss my little doggo.
My mind conjured up ways to mess with her. Ah, I got it.
âItâs a gift from the goddess of the moon,â I decided to just be blunt with it.
As expected, she didnât believe it.
Fayeth burst in laughter. âFrom the great silver one? Please, donât jest with such ambition, little human.â
Little human? I was a whole foot taller than her, and I wasnât even that tall! I watched the little elf slowly come down from her laughter, before shaking her head at the last of her giggles.
âOh, itâs true,â I replied. âWould you like to check it for yourself?â
Fayethâs expression immediately switched from laughter to anger. Her eyes glowed with magic and power but her and all mana felt like home to me. I frowned in loneliness.
âIf I find you to lie, you wonât be happy with the consequences,â Fayeth told me, her voice empowered by her magic. âBe careful with your next words.â
I simply smiled, and waved her to my lovely pegasi. âGo ahead. If memory serves correctly, anything your goddess touches and wills, it will have her mana signature.â
The only reason I wasnât glimmering with the moon goddessâs mana was because I had my own divinity, only that it was asleep. Last time I checked, a god couldnât be marked with another godâs divinity. Otherwise, there would be a war of the gods, a war for the one true god.
âHm.â
Jesus, even the way she walked was arrogant. I wonder if being short her entire life in a race full of towering people had something to do with it. After all, she has to make her presence known somehow.
As Fayeth approached my lovely pegasi, Aegis raised itâs head warily, inspecting if this new person frothing at her mouth was someone to be kicked nine ways to hell. I whistled low at Aegis, and it went back to eating grass.
âHehehe,â Fayeth finally got close enough to my flying steed. I saw the maniacal curiosity that plagued my loverâs descendants and wondered if letting such perversion touch my Aegis was worth the prank.
A soft magical glow from Fayethâs eyes and she suddenly stopped giggling like a perverted, old man and froze. Not even a single muscle in her body moved.
âHeâs a good gift, isnât he?â I decided to rub salt in the wound. She turned around to me with color drained from her face, which was awesome to see since all the high elves were naturally pale already.
âOh, I wonder what the Great Silver One will think about a little elf doubting her gifts and therefore, her words,â I shook my head. Even if I tried, I couldnât stop the nasty smirk from spreading across my face.
I shook my head even more, now walking towards her. When I got close enough to her that my lips were near her ears, I whispered, âI heard itâs considered. . .blasphemy.â
PLAP!
Fayethâs body turned even smaller as she dropped down onto her knees, face kissing the grass that Aegis was lazily munching on. Oh, I was trying so hard to stop myself from giggling that annoying giggle the haughty, little elf did.
âI-I-I apologize for my mistake. I-I didnât re-realize that someone of such stature was in such a remot-â
âEither way, you doubted the Great Silver Oneâs gift and my words, didnât you?â I said, with a sadistic grin on my face. It felt absolutely wonderful to see her body practically shrinking onto itself.
âYou even threatened me, didnât you? Oh, what was it that you said?â I snapped my fingers in mock-derision. âAh, I remember now. You said, âIf I find you to lie, you wonât be happy with the consequences.ââ
Fayeth shrinked even smaller than she already was.
I rubbed my chin mockingly. âNow I may be wrong, but if I remember correctly, wasnât the punishment for such treachery towards the moon goddess punishable by death?â
Fayeth started trembling like a little leaf.
âSo, what do you think I should do, little elf?â
âI-I donât believe I shoul-â
âOh, but isnât it true that you did threaten me?â I told her. âOr, was I simply mistaken? Are you accusing me of lying now?â
Donât laugh. Hold it in.
âNo, no, I was simpl-simply just say-saying that-â
âI think youâve erred too much to be forgiven,â I was going to burst into laughter. No, hold it in! âWhat do you th-Puhahaha! Oh, I canât do it, I canât do it anymore!â
I fell on the grass, kicking my feet out as I held my stomach in laughter. âYou should have seen the look on your face!â
â. . .Huh?â
