"Thranduil wait up" i shouted
The army of elves led by Thranduil was marching toward the west where their kingdoms are
While they are marching, they absent-mindedly recall the scene that happened earlier. Even Thranduil, who experienced battling a fire drake in the north of Kirkwood was shaken
"Who is he?" Asked the prince of elves. He was on the way to investigate the orc army but on his way, he saw his kin marching away
He asked his father what had happened and why they were walking away.
His only answer was that they met a monster who single-handedly killed all the orcs
He tried to ask the warriors but they were too shaken about what they had witnessed
—
"That... that was the monster i was asking about" Thranduil looked at the descending human
"What do you need me for? Our deal was done" Thranduil looked at Nyx warily
"Don't be wary of me. I have come to make a deal with you again" Nyx walks toward the king. He looks at Legolas
"Is he your son, Thranduil? A fine warrior indeed, like father like son. Hello there, I'm Nyx Cromwell" Nyx extends his hand
"Legolas, nice to meet you Mr. Nyx" Legolas was puzzled but still shook Nyx's hand
Thranduil looks at the two and thinks about what deal Nyx wanted
"Come to my homeland we can discuss the deal that you wanted" Thranduil invited Nyx. He was wary but he also knew that with Nyx's power, he could kill them all in a snap of his finger
They were proud elves but they are not fools. It's better to be friends with this abomination
"How long do we need to travel before we arrive at your kingdom?" Nyx asked
"We will arrive in about a week," Legolas answered
"That was too long. Let me give you a lift, point me the direction Thranduil, wait a little" Nyx said
Nyx with his gift, can instantly make skills based on his imagination and attributes.
He extends both his hands toward the grass. Pure flames started to be released and started forming something
First was the body, next was the head, followed by the wing and feet. After it was molded, he poured more power into it to make it bigger.
Like the arrow he made earlier, it became solid and bigger and bigger to the point that the firebird was covering the whole army of elves
"What is going on?!" Legolas asked with fear in his voice. This was the first time as a warrior that he experienced extreme fear
"Even I, who live for thousands of years, do not know what he is. He used that flame to kill all the orcs that were marching toward Erebor" Thranduil said
"That something no man can do father"
"Fear not. I may have been wary of him but that's only for his power, i live long enough that i can tell for a certain what a man he is" Thranduil rest assured his army that Nyx was not a foe but a friend
"I'm done. Hope in, we are flying to your kingdom" Nyx said as he hopped in and walked to the center, and waited for them to move, but no one took a single step near the gigantic firebird
"Why are you not moving? Are you scared? Let's go already. I wanted to see your kingdom"
"My friend, it's not that we are scared. It's just, it's burning, won't that burn us too?" Legolas said as he looked at it
"Oh, don't worry, the flames it produces were unless i wanted to change it. On the contrary, you will feel more relaxed." Nyx assured them that there would be no harm
Legolas didn't hesitate when he heard what i said and jumped. Once his foot landed on the wings of the bird, the flames wrapped around him. Instead of pain, comfort came in
"It's true, it's so gentle and relaxing. What kind of flame is this Mr. Nyx" Legolas asked and walked toward where Nyx was positioned
"Call me Nyx Legolas. I'm only 19 years old, an infant compared to your age. Come sit, i have a wine that you have never yet tasted" Nyx brings out a wine from his system storage
Legolas was stunned because the wine just suddenly appeared but didn't care that much anymore
"You're only 19? You have so much power and yet you're so young" Legolas was more shocked to know his age
Thraduil and his men followed suit and rode the firebirds.
"You're full of surprises Nyx. I live long but i never saw someone like you" Thranduil sat beside me and Legolas as he also saw me summoning the wine
After knowing that everyone is on board, Nyx used his power to make the firebird fly.
"Have a taste of this, Thranduil, it is this that one of the many things i wanted to trade with you" Nyx offered the wine
Thranduil and Legolas drank the wine and were captured by the taste of it. They had never tried something this rich in flavor
"What is this Nyx? It tastes so good. Give me more" Legolas said
"No problem. Drink more"
While the three were having a good time drinking, the elves' army was amazed. They were flying so fast but the wind didn't cause them to breathe hard or struggle to stay still
"This was amazing"
"These flames, they will wrap in your body and you will feel relaxed"
"Lord Nyx was truly a powerful human"
"He is. Even Gandalf can't do anything like this"
—
"We are here Nyx. We can't fly anymore because of the trees. We are near anyway" Thranduil said
"Okay," Nyx controls it. They descended slowly until they were fully on the ground. Legolas led the army to disembark
After that, the firebird simply vanished
"Your ability, is so amazing and so scary at the same time. Let's go Nyx, I'll show you my kingdom" Thranduil said
In the span of their travel in the bird, they became friends with Nyx. The saying was true, a free drink can make a stranger your friend
They traveled on foot a little before they arrived.
"My friend Nyx, i welcome you to my realm"
Ancient trees surrounded the area with tree branches extending to one another and leaves covered the sunlight. Firefly and torch were the source of light
The real homes of the elves were underground. The roots of the ancient trees were used as a chair or even a table
It was not luxurious like dwarves who have had gold everywhere, but they have their own unique beauty
"This was a wonderful place"
Nyx stayed in the woodland realm and explored with Legolas. For 3 days, Nyx did whatever adventure he wanted. Legolas' taught him how to wield a sword and he mastered it easily
He feasts every day with the elves who have come to welcome him and doesn't treat an outsider
Legolas would occasionally request to have wine. Which Nyx didn't care, for those who drink it for the first time will get addicted to it and Legolas was not an exception
"Nyx, how's your stay here?" Thranduil who was sitting on his throne asked
"It was great. Legolas, your son was a great guy"
"That's good then. So, I'm asking, what deal should we do?"
"There was another elf kingdom right? Like the Lord of Rivendell, Elrod and the Lady of the Wood, Galadriel. I'd like to meet them to make a deal also before I discuss it with you" Nyx said
Thranduil thought for a moment and said "My guess was right. We can go meet them in lothlórien, i already informed them about the potential trade you want and they also wanted to know who you are"
"Great. Let's go meet them then" Nyx said
"Let's go then"
—
Inside a cave in lothlórien, 4 individuals were talking to each other
"Elrond, do you know who this Thranduil is speaking about?" Galadriel asked. She was sitting at the table with her husband Celeborn, her granddaughter Arwen, and her son-in-law, Elrond
"I do not know who he speaks about but he said that even he was a very powerful human" Elrond said
"Nevertheless, we will meet him here" Celeborn said
"Who are you speaking to, Grandma?" Arwen asked. She is just here to visit her grandma when her father also appears
"A powerful being"
"Let's just wait for them. Thranduil said they will arrive today" Elrond
"No need to wait. They have arrived," Galadriel said
—
"This place has its own beauty, Thranduil."
They used the firebird to travel here which only takes an hour.
"This ability of yours is really great. Can travel super fast. Follow me, they are already waiting for us" Thranduil said as he led Nyx to where Elrond and Galadriel were
They arrive at the cave where 4 people are sitting
"Wow! Hey Thranduil, you didn't say that we are meeting a beautiful lady, i could have changed my clothes for a better first impression."
"Don't act as if you don't know. Your eyes were lying" Thranduil said as he ignored Nyx
"Tsk! Old age really has its benefits" Nyx looked around and was still mesmerized by the elves woman in front of him.
He walks toward one of them and says, "Hi, Lady Arwen, you can call me Nyx. I've been with Legolas and Thranduil for three days and I'm tired of seeing them. Luckily, I saw you and Lady Galadriel here"
Thranduil can't help but look at Nyx again. This was the first time he saw Nyx act like a stupid.
"Hello, Mr. Nyx" Arwen bowed her head
Elrond's face darkened when he saw the human hitting on his daughter. He released his magical power to intimidate Nyx and to also test him
Galadriel, Celeborn, and Thranduil look at it but don't say anything. They just observed how it will turn out
Elrond's magical power is flaring up but Nyx seems to be oblivious to it. Arwen looks at him and gets curious because her father's magical power was strong compared to that of other elves
"Mr. Elrond don't be like that. I don't believe in it because i didn't experience it yet, but i think this was love at first sight" Nyx throws a flirtatious look
"I do not know how to respond to you, my father is getting mad" Arwen smiled and politely said
"Okay, I'll stop. Hello everyone. Nice to meet you, as Thranduil said to you, i was here for a trade" Nyx turned his head and looked at the three overlords of the elves
Arwen startled when the flirty young man changed his demeanor. His playfulness was gone, replaced by seriousness
"Hello, Mr. Nyxz. Before we begin, can I ask where you have come from? I heard that you killed all the Orcs that were led by Bolg of the North." Galadriel looks seriously at Nyx
"Those were only orcs. I do not think it was that special. Killing those orcs was not really hard. Even you, Lady of the Wood, were capable of that right? And for where i came from, no disrespect but we are not that close for you to know that" Nyx smiled Galadriel
Galadriel looked at the young man i front of her and tried to pierce his mind to read it but nothing came out
Thranduil was also asked where he came from, but he only said that he was from a far faraway place
Elrond has already taken away the pressure he has released. He knew that the young man didn't even care about his magical pressure
"Galadriel was asking you, young man" Celebro said with a serious face
Nyx looked at him and said "Who are you? I thought I was meeting Galadriel and Elrond, but there's another person. And i respectfully decline to answer her, don't push it Elf"
"You…"
Before he could say anything, Galadriel intervened
"Stop it. No need to be so hostile Celebron." She looked at Nyx "We respect your decision not to answer young man."
"Good. Let's get to business then, I've been here for 3 days and need to come home." Nyx said
"We know that you wanted gold and other precious stones but we don't know what you can offer us" Elrond
"You're right. I need those. I know you Elves were leaving everything here in Middle-earth to travel to Valinor. I can offer you anything or whatever you want" Nyx can buy it in the system store once they decide what they want.
"That was something else. You said you can give us anything but we elves were already ready to leave Middle-earth" Celebron said
"To be honest, i do not know what to offer you in return that's why I'm asking you what you want for a deal"
"Elves decided to return to Valinor because that's where we belong and we are tired of the consistent conflict that keeps happening in the Middle-earth"
"How about information? I can offer you information regarding the future" Nyx said. That was the only thing he could think about
"Information? We can consider it depending on what it was. Do you agree, Elrond?" Galadriel said
"This is significant. And i want 80% of your treasure in return" Nyx said
"Agree. We decide if it is significant or not" Elrond
"Okay. The One Ring will return 60 years from now. Is this enough?" Nyx said
Galadriel stood up from her chair with horror on her face. Not only her, but also Elrond, Arwen, Thranduil, and Celeborn also have this expression
"That can't be! The ring was gone. You're lying to us" Celebron said angrily
"It was lost, but not destroyed. Why would i lie to you? Do you think I'm that low? If so, i could just kill you all and take all your wealth" Nyx releases his power.
To be honest, if the blood of a phoenix were given to a normal human, they would be super strong but with Nyx that was another thing. He has an abnormal physique that requires blood to fully unleash his power. Compare it to the dxd world, Nyx was on par with Super Devil in the dxd world
Celeborn saw a massive phoenix at the back of Nyx and it was producing pressure that forced him to kneel
"Stop Nyx. He didn't mean to offend you at all" Thranduil said, easing the tension. He complained to his mind that this Celeborn was stupid and kept provoking Nyx
"Celebron, leave the room" Galadriel helped him and said
Celeborn looks at Nyx with scared eyes before limping away
"I'm sorry for his rudeness Nyx. Is what you said true?" Galadriel asked again to make sure of it
"You already battle with him right? You and Elrond fought him in Dol Guldur as the Necromancer. He was still rebuilding himself and later would feel the ring being used again" Nyx said
"You know a lot" Elrond looked at him intensely
I turn around and look back at him " i know more than you think, King of Rivendelle"
