“Well, anything is possible. Even a miracle of the King acting like a civilized being,” the elder female said.

Dan started to laugh so hard that he fell to a knee. “I believe that would be the biggest miracle of all time.” He then turned back to the elder. “So, we are welcome here in your village?”

The Elder and the others that had appeared were all smiling at him. A small female ran to Dan and grasped his hand.

Dan looked down at the young Golem, then bent to her when she motioned to him. In a whispered voice she asked, “Can you really make us all better?”

A huge smile appeared on his face as he said, “Let’s see, OK?” Then the young one started to laugh as a light enveloped the both of them.

Still laughing, she kissed him on his cheek, “It tickles. It tickles mom and dad,” she said as her color grew better, as did she.

A male and female nearby had tears of happiness as she was fully healed. Both of her parents were amazed when Dan healed the both of them too.

This, of course, drew a huge crowd, well for the village. Many were excited as Dan laid a hand on the elder’s shoulder as she started to gasp and grow better.

A great cheer went up as the elder shook her head as she smiled. “By the gods, I haven’t felt this well in a very long time.”

Immediately, a large group of people rushed toward Dan. As he laid his hands on them, he noticed that there weren’t that many Golems.

It actually made him a bit sad that they were as few as they were. He was almost finished when a very sickly female approached him.

“Mister Mage sir,” she started. “I know that my life is nearly over.” Here she tried to take a deep breath. Coughing, Dan touched her as her color improved. “No, please use your magic to heal my baby.”

Dan shook his head, “I can do both, you are slightly healed now. The baby will need its mother as well as good health,” Dan said as he touched her again for a few moments.

Again, she pulled away, shaking her head, “No, please heal her, I do not.”

Dan stopped her as he grabbed her for longer this time as she started to look far better. It was at that moment that she felt the baby start to move more.

The female’s mouth dropped open as shock took over her expression. That’s the most that I have ever felt her move! Please finish, I never thought that a healer could do this.”

I blushed as I had never thought of myself as a healer. I placed a hand on her shoulder, and she started to almost glow as her health improved.

“Thank you Mister Mage, a live baby hasn’t been born in the village in over twenty years. Mine will be the first since that time,” the excited female said.

Dan could only stare at the female with a look of horror. “I promise you that I will end this disease. I will also end the terror of the elf king.”

The female looked at Dan with a look of shock. “Sir, Mage, the gift you have given me and the village today is a blessing in itself.”

They were invited to stay as word was sent to the other tribes of Golems. “I could get us there in no time if you could go with me,” Dan said.

The female’s eyes went large as she hesitantly nodded. He looked at Gre’ta and asked, “Can you stay here in case they are attacked?”

Gre’ta nodded as Gan hugged her as she blushed. He touched all his companions and the Golem, then they vanished.

When they appeared, it was far colder than it had been before. The female explained that they were way further north than most went.

She then explained to all there who Dan and the females were. At first, only a few of the elders accepted ‘til they were completely healed.

After that, Dan was crowded quickly, many of the females were amazed at the pregnant Golem female. At least they were ‘til another pregnant female approached Dan. When the fourth approached him, he smiled greatly.

To him, this was a great start to healing the Golems. He was about half done when Gre’ta called him, telling him they were under attack.

He immediately grabbed all his companions and wrapped the shadows. As soon as he arrived, he saw that more than a few trolls were attempting to breach the village.

Gre’ta had taken a few, but they and the Orcs were starting to overwhelm her. Dan put up a plant shield that slowed them down a bit, then he put a shield from all the other powers he had.

He forgot that he had two light shields, though they held. Then the trolls started to throw the Orcs over, many were killed as they landed wrong though enough survived to attack.

Seeing that they were so close to the village, he started to hit them with ice spears. His companions were firing their powers as well, taking a few down with him.

He saw that several Orcs were about to overwhelm Gre’ta. He stepped behind her as they moved to attack her, using incinerate on them. Gre’ta had spun, hearing the Orcs releasing a double electric blast, nearly hitting Dan.

Dan got a small tingle but ignored it as Gre’ta screamed at her error. She was shocked when Dan seemed to shrug it off as if it wasn’t there and continue to fight.

This time they fared far better than before as they finished in almost no time. This time, Dan actually disappeared, appearing in the Elf king’s castle to see another smaller white elf directing things.

Dan growled as he grabbed the elf’s throat, lifting him high. “The simple fact that your king was injured as if he was nothing, should have been a hint.”

Dan just looked at the elf, then the elf screamed as three swords appeared, as well as the sword that was at Dan’s back.

Dan ran the elf through as the other three swords tore him apart. He felt around trying to find the King, smiling when he saw that the king was still unconscious with only an arm.

He was about to flash out when he saw a head appear around the doorway. Dan stopped seeing the young elf. “Who are you?” Dan asked.

The young female started to pull away when Dan stopped her. “I ... I am a prisoner here, sir. Many of us were released as there weren’t enough to watch us.”

Dan looked closely at the female, then thought of Kim’ta. Pulling, Kim’ta was there in moments. The white elf looked around in shock ‘til she spotted the young female.

Kim’ta’s mouth dropped open as she rushed to the wide-eyed young female. “Aunty?” the young female asked.

Kim’ta could only nod as they both descended into tears. “Are your mother and father here?” Kim’ta asked.

The young female nodded, then in a low voice said, “momma, poppa?”

A moment later, an older male and female light elf walked tentatively into the room. They both had huge eyes as they saw their daughter wrapped in the arms of her Aunt.

They both motioned as they broke from their shock. A moment later, three young males came in and ran to Kim’ta, hugging her tight.

Another moment later, an even older male and female came in the door. They both gasped when they saw Kim’ta. Kim’ta started to cry happy tears when she saw them.

Dan had them all join hands as they vanished, appearing in the northern Golem village. Dan sat as slight exhaustion came over him.

Awakening a few hours later, he contacted Gre’ta. She reported that there was no movement, so he brought her there.

Dan bid all the Golem goodbye after another night of much-needed sleep. They appeared near the cave system where the city survivors had gone.

The small girl that Dan had saved came running to him with happy news. “They found Papa!” she almost yelled excited.

A surge of happiness went through Dan at the news. At least now he didn’t feel as bad about the attack on the city. He still felt bad because even if most of them had hated and mistrusted him, he couldn’t hate them.

They visited for a few hours, Dan helping to establish several buildings that they needed. Many were so thankful not to be in the cave system anymore.

They actually had a great proportion of a small city now that attracted a great many more survivors. Dan was smiling greatly as he saw the relief on the faces of the survivors, even those that arrived later.

That was alright ‘til a few light elf soldiers were approaching the cave/ new city. A shout from Gre’ta alerted Dan to the fact that soldiers were approaching.

Dan tried to yell to Gre’ta to stand down when he saw that she was powering up to release an attack. Dan vanished, appearing in front of her just as she released her attack. Gre’ta screamed as her attack, Double electric Blast, actually struck Dan this time.

“NO!!!!!!! DAN!!!” Was heard as a high current with the odor of ozone crackled through the air. Gre’ta fell to her knees as the attack hit Dan squarely in the chest.

At first, she thought that she had vaporized Dan ‘til she saw him get off the ground. He shook his head as he was tackled to the ground and kissed by a crying Gre’ta.

“I’m sorry Dan, I couldn’t stop, I, I thought I had destroyed you,” Gre’ta stopped when Dan looked straight ahead, seeing a message {you have gained electric aspect.}

“Huh,” Dan said, then saw the message {you have gained the following spells.}

Electricity Stun Blast Electric Spears Double electric Blast Electric Shield 2x Electric Shield Electric Aura

“Nice spells,” Dan said. “I didn’t realize that you had seven spells.”

Gre’ta stared at Dan a moment, “are you telling me you have another aspect? Mine, Electricity? Danm, I thought that I had killed you!”

A moment later, the rest of his companions appeared rushing to them. “Dan? Gre’ta are the two of you alright?”

Gre’ta turned away from the others with her head low. “Yes we are,” then in a lower voice, “No thanks to me.”

Almost all the females stared at her in shock. “Alright, what happened,” Ella said.

“I struck Dan with a low mid-range spell. I thought that I had killed him,” Gre’ta said, her head still low.

Tygan and En’tra looked at each other. “He has all the same spells that you do?” En’tra asked.

Gre’ta looked up at the dark elf and nodded her head with a curious look. “Yes, as a matter of fact, he does.”
