"Good job, Caliaphy, I'm glad you didn't get hurt," The Shield Maiden told her friend, "Besides we made some new friends while we were waiting for you. This is Elbereth. Her family owns a winery in this valley and they were on their way to the capital to escape the Ogre you guys took down."
"It's because we're the best!" The fairy gave her a thumbs up.
Lazheros stood up when the others came into the clearing, "Good. These people are still tired from fleeing from the monster. I was able to provide them with healing, food, and water."
"Thank you, Lazheros," The Prince strode up to the gathering, "I'm glad we were able to stop the Ogre before it got this far.
The elven girl came back over and stopped in her tracks when she saw the ranger, "Father, it's Prince Willow."
"What?" Her father said getting to his feet as the rest of them looked at each other in surprise.
Willow raised his hands, "Sit and be at peace. There is no need to rise or bow in my presence. Though we are in my lands, we are not at court. How do you fare? Are you up for travel or do you need to relax before you continue your journey?"
The elves all visibly relaxed in the presence of their prince again and some sat back down. One of the elves who was the father of Elbereth nodded, "I am Elbauthin, my wife Filaurel, and father of Elbereth, my daughter there. Your friends have provided us aid in our time of need my prince. The others here are neighbors and relatives. We ran the winery here in the southern valley the one favored by the king until the horde came and leveled it. There is an outpost on the western rise, and hopefully still man, my prince. That's where were headed when the ogre picked up our trail."
The elementalist remained where she was keeping quiet and listening for any other danger with the swordsman. She would occasionally glance about the party where Serna and Caliaphy were talking to each other.
The Swordsman declared to no one in particular, "I'll keep watch to make certain nothing else or no one else tries and sneaks up on us."
Lazheros looked over at Caliaphy, "Small one, keep your voice down. This is Asylum where you can be as loud as you want."
"Asylum? Did you say you came from Asylum?" Another elf with light hair step forward.
"Yes, that is correct." The bronze man replied.
"Then Emissary Orym came through and was able to get help?" The elf said in earnest.
"He did." Lazheros answered.
"Where is the army, weapons, supplies, food?" The elf looked at the party.
