BXBX NOVEL Chapter 282 His Plea
Elmon with a frowned face, got up from where he sat, finding his way out of the room through the door located opposite him.
"You want to be free? I will do it. I will free you, and in exchange you grant me the power to make Leena mine to claim".
He said, walking down the road and talking to himself like a man gone mad.
[ A woman is all that you desire? Child, I could give you the world if that was your wish ].
The voice sounded so confident and sure of itself, whispering into his ears what it was capable of, and the extent of the wishes it could grant.
"The world be damned. Leena is my world, and she is all that I desire".
Elmon\'s refusal to have the world in literal sense was not shocking to the voice has it had expected such to happen.
For as long as the voice had known Elmon, and it has known Elmon since the time of his birth.
It had never seen Elmon desire for much or crave for more than he can have.
He has always lived within his limits and has never dreamed or hoped to do things that would put him way above what he is capable of.
This is the first time that Elmon would be taking a stand for himself, and his reason for doing this is for love.
Since meeting with Leena, the voice had observed Elmon\'s attitude taking a change, a turn from a boy who had no ambition to a boy who started getting greedy so as to satisfy the one he loves.
Getting so bold enough to suggest he and Leena running away from the Elven nation.
That was a thought the former Elmon would never have come up with, or even stray close to it as an option.
Attempting to run away with the princess of the nation is a suggestion too crazy to even think of applying it in realistic terms.
[ The things you mortals do for love? Kekeke!! ].
The voice let out a weird snicker, mocking Elmon\'s dedicated love for Leena, a love that has blinded him into doing his will.
The voice has so far being projecting itself into Elmon, to persuade him into doing his will, but not once has Elmon broken or hearken to the voice.
Now Elmon in his desperation, shut his eyes and ears open to let in the voice as much as it wanted to.
It scoffed at Elmon\'s foolishness and was no longer surprised by it.
Where his walk ended up taking him to, is inside of a cave with a wide opening, the entrance carved in the shape of a lion roaring as loud as it could, with a mouth volume wide enough to size in ten elephants in one sitting.
Elmon with fear etched in his heart, resolved himself to take the risk and going into the dark ominous looking cave, making his way through the lion\'s roar.
"What are you doing here!".
Elmon was stopped in his tracks by a deep man\'s voice that came from afar warning him to stay back.
"I came here in search of something".
Elmon\'s voice panicked as he responded back to the man.
He has never tried doing something that goes against the rules and regulations of the elves.
This was beyond what he was used to, way beyond it and that terrified him greatly.
In his mind is a massive amount of questions raging about, wondering what to do if his intention was found out even before he succeeds in doing it.
He troubled his brain in search of an answer that would not make him look suspicious before the two men standing guard with a gigantic two sides gate located behind them.
The two men looked at each other like they were contemplating on his choice of statement to reply with.
They have been standing guard all day long and have yet to see anyone come around here to play much less lose something only to come back in search for it.
Elmon\'s excuse to them did not add up at all, and that made them uncomfortable around him.
Why would he chose to lie to them? For what reasons brought him here other than the lie he just told them?
They knew he was up to something, but they just could not pinpoint their finger on what it was.
The two guard never for a brief second thought to themselves that what he was up to, had something to do with the gigantic gate that was standing behind them.
How could they? Big or small, as long as they are elves, they would have heard of what the gate they are keeping watch on represents, and why it needs to stay locked till eternity.
They would never have thought of a possibility where one of them who knows of the tale still decides to take the risk to get the gate open.
"Whatever it is you are looking for, it is not here, now scram".
The two men were not accepting of Elmon\'s presence in the cave, that made it very quick and easy for them to shun him down and send him out, giving him no time to find whatever it is he claimed he was looking for.
"I promise I won\'t take much of your time. I just need about a minute, that is all".
Elmon was not willing to give in that easily. He knew what he was signing up for when he decided to take his chances with the voice.
If he turns back now, he will no longer have a ray of hope of getting Leena back.
This was the only chance he had, and he was willing to do whatever it took to see that it worked.
"Did you not hear what we just said? Go back and never come here again. It is not meant for the likes of you to trespass as you see fit".
The man rejected Elmon\'s plea, sending him back with a much harsher tone than the one he used the first time.
"Ple!"
Elmon again wanted to beg for sometime, but he couldn\'t because he was stopped by the voice.
[ They won\'t let you in just like that. For now, turn back ].
The voice although was in a hurry to have Elmon standing in front of that gate, understood that it wasn\'t going to be that easy and could even prove almost impossible as long as the two men are standing guard at the entrance of the gate.
