680 The nature's energy
As for Kevin, Axel, Willow, as well as Solomon, Sora, who was still unconscious, Atlas and Lena, they had all followed Peter to get some good rest after having such intense battles.
Peter didn't lead them into the capital where people would surely be celebrating the victory tonight, he prefered to lead them where Maya's clan had established once they had gotten the approval of the Humans to live with them.
It was a secluded place in the biggest forest in the human territory and Peter was right, it was a perfect place to rest.
When Peter had introduced Lena and Sora to the Black Elves, their best healer and second only to Maya in their clan, told them that Sora could recover faster if she was in a place where nature's energy was the strongest and this was also why they had chosen to follow them.
Even Willow's psychic power couldn't help Sora this time, and since she was unconscious because she had used the techniques of the Black Elves, they could only trust them and hope that they could really help Sora to feel better.
Kevin immediately felt the difference when they entered the territory of the Black Elves, he could feel a benevolent force all around them and the healer then told him, when he saw Kevin frowning and looking around him: "What you feel is the concentration of nature's energy, it is rare for a human to be able to sense it, but as your aura is similar to that of the Priests, even though it is not as strong as Miguel's and your friend, it is no wonder that you can feel this energy."
The healer then explained to him: "Black Elves can cultivate this energy, but we can't use the spiritual energy like Humans, however, since we can connect to nature's energy, it is like we can use the light, earth, water and even lightning elements for the must powerful of us."
Kevin then said after hearing that: "I see, after all nature provides us with medicinal and magic herbs, some plants can store water and I guess that with that strong concentration of nature's energy the vegetation in this area uses the lightning particles in the spiritual energy to communicate with each other, like a network or for sending signal, and since you are all connected with this energy, it provides you with a strong protection, am I right?"
The healer then bowed his head and he said: "You are right, this nature's energy has protected our clan since the dawn of time, we can all use the vines to fight and to protect ourselves, but few of us can cultivate its healing power and Maya is the only one who can add lightning to her vines, which considerably increases the power of her attacks."
Lena then said, as mesmerized by this energy: "I can feel it too…"
Lena then moved aside and since she didn't want to hurt anyone she signaled to the others to not follow her and when she was about 50 meters from them, she opened her arms, letting her white light spread all over the place.
Atlas couldn't feel this nature's energy, and he guessed that Kevin could feel it only because he could use all the elements of the spiritual energy and so as Kevin could probably feel his frustration, he told him that Lena was strengthening this nature's energy that was surrounding them with her light and that it was spreading over a radius of 50km.
All the Black Elves that were accompanying them then widened their eyes as they looked at their bodies.
They had all been treated by Kevin, Lena and their friends but they were still exhausted after having fought for so long.
But suddenly, they felt a surge of energy coming from the nature's energy they were connected to and they all felt energized, their fatigue finally gone.
Lena then stopped when she felt that she couldn't improve the energy of this nature anymore, and she looked at Sora wondering if she could focus her healing powers on this part of the Black Elves that they both seemed to possess and that was connected to this nature's energy.
But when she was about to reach her sister the healer from the Black Elves then stopped her and he told her: "No need, look, Sora was already connected to the nature's energy so she also got this surge of energy like us."
Sora then moaned and Solomon immediately called her name while Sora was finally opening her eyes.
She put her hand gently on his cheek to reassure him, and she said to him as she could see that they seemed to be safe now: "Put me down, I'm alright, I promise."
Peter then asked the healer of the Black Elves, since he didn't understand what happened: "What did Lena do exactly? Her light couldn't wake up Sora ealier… And you talked about a surge of energy, but I didn't feel anything when Lena's light enveloped us, I don't understand."
The healer then told him: "Lena has just strengthened with her light the power of the nature energy that is surrounding us.
Her aim wasn't to use her light on us but on the nature energy, that's why you didn't feel any change, because you are not connected to it.
But we have all felt it, it was like a surge a power running through our veins, I have never felt anything like that before.
And as Sora is also connected to this nature energy, this flow of energy was enough to wake her up."
Sora then smiled to her sister and she then asked Peter: "Uncle, where is our mother? What happened?"
All the Black Elves then looked at Peter and Peter told them immediately: "It's a long story, but to be able to part with my girls, I have preferred to lie to them and they always thought that I was there uncle… I didn't have much choice, Maya was still there, and I couldn't abandon all of you.
I had to come back, hoping that one day we will be able to join our girls again or that Sora would become powerful enough to open a transdimensional portal to find us."
Sora then widened her eyes and Kevin then told her: "He's your father, and Maya, your mother, is safe, do not worry."
Solomon then told her: "She is with Elias, Miguel and the others, everything is fine now, the war has just ended.
We are in the territory of your mother's Clan, and it was the right decision to take as you have finally woken up."
Peter then told her while caressing her head, gently: "I will explain everything to you and I will answer all of your questions later, but right now let's continue, we are almost there, we will all be able to rest once in the kingdom of the Black Elves."
Atlas then frowned and repeated: "Kingdom? Are the Black Elves so powerful?"
Peter then told them: "The Black Elves are the most Ancient creatures of our World, and even the Humans who have finally chosen to accept them in their territory, didn't know about the existence of their Kingdom."
The healer then told them: "We used to live in the evil beings territory, since the Humans didn't accept our difference at first, but we never sided with the evil beings.
Actually, we are a peacefull race and we fight only when we are threatened, Peter and his Master are the only Humans allowed there, otherwise the nature energy prevents the other Humans from find us."
Kevin then asked them: "Is it because of Sliman that you have to move to the Human territory."
The healer then smiled at him and he told him: "The Humans accepted us after Elias and Miguel helped us fight this God 3,000 years ago, since then we have moved there and our Kingdom has grown a lot thanks to the strong spiritual energy here."
Kevin and the others then saw the Black Elves that were leading the way disappear one after another and Peter then told them: "Remember, we told you that the nature energy prevents the Humans from finding them… But as you are their guests, you will be able to pass this invisible barrier and you will be able to enter the kingdom of the Black Elves."
The healer then told them bowing his head in respect and showing them the way to follow with his hand, telling them: "You will always be welcomed in our Kingdom, this way please."
Axel then put his arms around Kevin's shoulders and he smiled at their daughter who had remained quite since the battle was over, and he told her then: "Sweetie, maybe you will be able to play with some kids here and make friends, the Black Elves seemed quite strong, they will be good playmates for you."
Willow then looked at him and as she hadn't thought of this possibility she did not know what to expect at all.
