Chapter 134: 134
"Should we go inside to help? . . . " I questioned Jay looking worried at all the hurt individuals .

Jay looked inside at all the chaos . . . "I think we should stay put here . . . . . We don't have any medical training or healing spells . " Jay answered .
"Do you think Atlantis know everything that's going on? . . " I asked worried for the safety of everyone .
"Maybe the school does know . . . . . That is why they setup so many temporary way points and deployed so many students . " Jay answered .
"Any idea why Dark Elves would be attack the city or how? . . . . " I asked worried about how all this will go down .
"To be honest . . . . . I don't know very much of Dark Elf Tactics . " Jay admitted .
" . . . . . Hmmmm . . . . . " I began wondering about all the books and movies I've watched on infiltration and sabotage .
"Yeah . . . no idea what they are planning . . . . . . . . but I'm sure once we notify the Deputy Head Mistress I'm sure she will know what to do . " Jay agreed .
Helen came out to meet us . . . "Any update?" I asked as she arrived .
"Definitely looks like the work of Dark Elves . " She replied with a grimace look on her face .
"Should we check the bodies outside? . . . " Jay asked .
"It would help if I could get a closer look . . . but it might pull too much attention . . . . " Grace answered . "Besides let's find the Head Mistress and let her know our findings . " Grace added .
"Aren't we gonna wait for Daisy and Helen? . . " I asked .

"Helen said she wanted to stay to help who she can . . . and Daisy said she will do the same also and to stay with her if anything happens . " Grace informed us .
"Well let's get moving quickly then . " Jay suggested .
"I think we should be safe though . . . Dark Elves only attack the surface at night . . . their eyes are sensitive to bright lights due to living underground . " Grace explained .
"That's a relief . . . . . " I sighed, I clearly wasn't ready for any of this .
As we began walking through the city back to the refugee camps I couldn't help but feel unnerved, anyone could be watching us from anywhere . . . . . Anyone of these innocent looking civilians could be a Dark Elf in disguise . . . . .
"Emilia stay close if you feel unsafe . . . . . " Grace said clearly somehow sensing my unease .
"Don't worry Emilia we'll be alright . . . . . " Jay smiled .
"I hope so . . . . " I quietly whispered to myself positioning myself between Jay and Grace .
It was surprising how the general public . . . even though looking on edge still seemed to be living their life normally . . . . . Shops still opening . . . . . People buying things even children playing on the streets . "Do you think the city knows what's going on? . . " I questioned them .
"I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't to be honest . . . mass panic is never a good thing . . . . or fleeing is never good for any city or towns business . . . but nothing can stop the spread of rumours . " Grace answered .
"To be fair . . . . they probably feel a lot safer now that we arrived . " Jay smiled .

"You five are a little far from the camps . . . slacking off? . . . . " Sven said walking towards us with a giant smile .
"No no . . . . we have good reason . . . . " Grace said trying to defend our actions .
"Okay . . . . let me hear it . . . " He smiled stopping in front of us .
"We have reasons to believe Dark Elves have infiltrated the city . " Grace whispered to him walking up to his ear ensuring no one else can hear .
"Are you serious? . . . " He whispered back his smile instantaneously fading from his face .
"Yes . . . . . We heard rumours of monsters and Dark Elves attacking at night . . . . so we went to the infirmary to check the wounded . . . . it seems to all check out . "
"Quickly we need to retrieve your other two friends . " He ordered his hands flicking quickly .
"They are this way . " I said leading the way .
"We also found out there's and imminent attack . . . as well . . . . " Jay notified Sven .
"So the city must have a Master of Divination magic . . . . . " He concluded .
"Is there anything else??" He asked as we quickly made out way to Helen and Daisy .
"So we know common Dark Elf tactics is sabotage . . . . so no doubt they have already implanted themselves within the general public . " Grace informed him .
"Yes . . . . . Why on earth would you leave the other two them by themselves knowing that . " Sven asked .
"We needed to let the Deputy Head Mistress know . . . . and they wanted to stay and help . . . " Grace tried to explain to him .
"I understand . . . . . It's your duty to help those in need . . . . but you should always look after yourselves first" He replied clearly disagreeing with our decision .
As we turned the final corner, "slow down . . . . " Sven ordered placing his hand on my shouldered .
"What is it? . . " I stopped turning around .
"Act normal . . . . . That group of four guards may very well be Dark Elves . " Sven informed us .
"How do you know? . . " I whispered trying to not act surprised .
"See the one in the middle right? . . . . . He has a small dagger hilt showing in his uniform . " Sven explained very quietly and calmly still walking towards them .
"That's a ceremonial dagger . " Grace pointed out .
"Yes exactly . . . . most the guard's I've seen in this town aren't equipped with daggers . " Sven pointed out .
"Is Helen and Daisy okay? . . . . . " I whispered .
"They seem fine . . . . no erratic movements . . . . . But the fact this Guard unit hasn't moved and seems to be guarding the entrance . . . Is very worrying . . " Sven pointed out .
"What's the plan? . . . " Jay said as we neared the Guard unit .
"Well let's not start anything till we regroup with Daisy and Helen . Then we'll get out and engage them on our terms . . . . . We have no idea how many are inside either . . . . we could be very well outnumbered and surrounded . " He instructed .
"Should we call for back up? . . " I asked feeling worried as every fibre in my body yelling at me to run .
"Back up won't arrive in time . . . we need to get them two out as soon as possible . " He instructed .
"Okay . . . " Jay whispered sounding extremely serious .
"Grace and I will head get Helen and the two of you get Daisy . . . . . We'll exit through the front and once I start the first move . . . you all follow up okay? . . . " He ordered with a firm commanding voice .
"Okay . " We all answered .
"Stop!!" the guard squad ordered us, causing us all to pause in front of them .
"We was sent here by out Teacher to assist in the healing . " Sven lied to them .
"Okay sure . " They smiled but looking closely I can sense some sort of sinister grin . . . . . Rather than a genuine smile .
"Helen is nearby . . . . but Daisy is at the back . " Sven quickly pointed it out to us as we entered the messy infirmary again .
We quickly broke apart following the orders we were given walking deeper into the infirmary gently weaving through everyone desperately searching for Daisy .
