Creatures Only Heard In Stories[2]

[Third Person POV],

Dwarves.

A member of a mythical race of short, stocky humanlike creatures who are generally skilled in mining and metalworking.

At least, this was the definition regarding dwarves that has been hailed from the old age to the modern world.

Dwarves.

A mythical race.

Although not as well known as the dragons, the prestige and heritage of this race did not lose much to the dragon race.

Well, they had learned this from the fantasy books and movies they had seen.

To think that one day they will be able to meet the creatures only heard about in stories.

It is a truly amazing experience.

If there was a race they were quite expecting to meet in the future, together with what most people in the world thought was the dragon race.

Unlike the dwarves, who were intelligent creatures, the dragon race could still be argued to be a monster race because not everyone in their race, like the drakes, was intelligent.

Most people did not expect to see legends known to be myths one day, but here were Emma and Chris who were witnessing this legendary race up close and personal.

But now the question was why?

Why are dwarves suddenly appearing in this place?

How did they end up here?

And what was their goal?

This was the first thought that came to Emma's mind after she awoke from her shock, as Chris was still engrossed in the scene in front of him.

And, while Emma tried to raise her guards against the dwarves in front of her, she couldn't because, in addition to this short build that was ridiculously muscular, she sensed no malice from the race in front of her, but she also knew that she couldn't lower her guard because the pressure she was feeling from the Dwarven king, who stood there doing nothing while looking at her and Chris, spoke volumes.

Emma began to wonder how powerful the dwarven king was currently because his information in the primordial chronicle revealed that he was sealed.

Emma had no way of knowing what had been sealed about him.

She wasn't all knowing and probably never would be.

Because of the unexpected events, the dwarves and she began to stare at each other while they all collectively ignored Chris.

After a few seconds, Chris realized the atmosphere wasn't right and returned to his senses as he moved closer to Emma slowly.

This went on for a few more seconds until the Dwarven king opened his mouth to speak.

"Young lad," the dwarven king began addressing Emma, as Emma and Chris subconsciously straightened their backs due to the authority in his voice.

This was not out of respect, but because of the dwarven king's ability to subconsciously influence people's actions; however, the next words he spoke caused the image to shift slightly.

"Would you happen to have any wine with you?" He inquired calmly.

"..."

"..."

'What's the deal with that question?!' Emma and Chris screamed internally because they expected the dwarven king to say something serious when he opened his mouth to speak.

It's not that there was anything wrong with the question he asked; it's just that they were expecting more, and the dwarven king appears to move at a different brain frequency than them.

The most awkward atmosphere was created by his question, but since the dwarven king kept looking at them with the same expression on his face, it was either he didn't notice or he outright ignored it.

In any case, they had to respond, which was awkward again because this wasn't even how strangers were supposed to behave, but Emma opened her mouth to speak as several thoughts flashed through her mind.

"Sorry, we don't have any on us," Emma replied, and even though she couldn't see any expression on the dwarven king's face, she could tell he was disappointed with her response.

'Did he really want wine that badly, or are dwarves like in myths with their wine?' This was Emma's thought as she opened her mouth to ask a question she was curious about.

Emma didn't want to think about why the atmosphere between them was strangely chilled and calm, with no tension at all.

If she could, she'd blame it on the dwarves, who couldn't follow the script of how strangers should act and were simply going at their own pace.

"Can't you just go to the store and buy it?" Emma inquired because she needed to confirm something.

She wondered if the dwarves could also use the primordial chronicle.

This was due to the content of stage two and the events that occurred in the dungeon that the bronze door first led them to.

This made her wonder if they were real or if they were created by the primordial chronicle; whatever it was, she was curious.

"The store, you say?"

"That is also sealed," he said, which piqued Emma's interest when she heard the sealed term.

"What's sealed?" She inquired, to which the Dwarven king only gave her a sidelong glance before ignoring her and ordering his subjects to begin moving.

Emma felt awkward but more annoyed when this happened, but she couldn't do anything about it because she knew if she did anything funny, she'd die.

This was not her thought; she would die.

This much she could tell from the dwarven king's pressure, and while she didn't know what else was sealed about him, she couldn't tell the limit of his current power.

As Emma pondered these thoughts, she observed the dwarves begin to organize their properties in preparation for the move.

Emma and Chris just watched everything that was going on as they wondered how everything would end but when they saw that the dwarves all started moving away from their current location, they both breathed a sigh of relief but before Chris could even ask Emma what to do next, Emma suddenly called out to the dwarves.

"Wait!"
