Elf Denial (Part 2)

Well, what happens is something more than. . ..words. . .

Do believe that that was the FIRST time that girl has EVER gotten a spanking (and frankly some might say that is was well past time for such things)! And THEN after THAT, that's when the angered Demons (the source of this Oberon's power and such) get their claws on her. . ..

Not pretty, folks!

Ah, but you ask me what is going on? Well, let us just get the condense version and leave it at that. Can make a person's head spin, if we go into full detail, eh?

Alright, what we have here was what basically was, for lack of better terms, a recruiting drive for some dark "Shadow War" which that little girl/monster was a key player! Fertal and Artizza, unlike those other proto-Dark Elves, got lured into the trap and were being "conditioned" (read tortured) to were they'd break and agree to anything to escape the pain! The basics of what would have happened then are found within episode 24895.

Now, the reason why Artizza and Fertal got snatched away lay hand in hand with why Oberon and the Demons are so ticked! See, our little girl set her cronies to a place to recruit where they had no BUSINESS being. See, the various Offices are rather. . ..shall we say. . ..protective over their territories and the territories that belong to their Champions. In this case, we are talking about the Territories upon a place called Terra Prime which, upon the death of the rest of that world, become pocket universes of their own and forevermore be like what the Faerie enjoy. . . . .more or less. Stems from promises given to various rulers who became Champions of the Rules and Agents (long story, don't ask, leave it at it played into the needs of those Celestrials and such).

See, the problem here is that the Champions of one Office (in this case the Army of Darkness' Dark Elves) cannot set up permanent residence within another Offices' Special Territory (in this case the forest upon Terra Prime claimed by both the Terra Prime Elves and their allies, Aqualaria).

Yep.

Steep penalties for offenders, folks. Even AFTER the "base" on Terra Prime, already burnt to the ground by a barrage fire from some shuttlecraft had razed it, was abandoned permanently. . ..

No, that Shadow War is still on and various other versions of the girl monster are about, doing their thing. Just this little girl. . ..

Uh. . . . .

Don't ask. . ..

It. . ..would age you decades just to hear what is going on, so terrible. . .

. . ..

So, when Compensation comes up, the Demons don't have as good of leverage as they'd have in episode 24917. So, with ill grace, the claims upon this Artizza and this Fertal are given over without even a whimper!

Instead, anger is taken out on unfortunate children. 'Tis not necessarily fair or just, some might say, to do such. However, that's the way the Hellcrew works. Deal with it.

So, still somewhat. . ..singed elves are given a choice, and given the alternatives (and the opportunities to strike back blows at now hated Entities), Artizza and Fertal (these ones) gladly become yet another set of Champions.

Unlike the other Champions, these elves aren't immediately going off upon a Validation Quest until after the Validation quest of one Chaina who's just finished speaking with a demifox lass named Andrea (re: 24358 for events).

And here for a synopsis for Chiana's Validation Quest up to around that point:

As Chiana is getting over whatever had come over her she can only stare at the elves who've appeared just before her, singing an odd song. . ..

Kind of beautiful, in a way, sung by elven voices, and she (the new dragoness) is almost enchanted by that alone.

As for the elves, they know how close they came and. . ..well. . . . .a song is almost better than prayer for them. . ..in their hearts. . ..

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me. . ..
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

T'was Grace that taught. . .
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear. . .
the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares. . .
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far. . .
and Grace will lead us home.

The Lord has promised good to me. . .
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be. . .
as long as life endures.

When we've been here a thousand years. . .
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise. . .
then when we've first begun.

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me. . ..
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

Later, they shall tell Chiana's friends (who's come in to see what the "frell" is keeping Chiana.

Something to do with "follow-on" business on "Aylse" after their other Quest is complete. . .. Something to do with what Inquirer and the others immediately recognize from the rather confused description given by the "proto-Dark Elves" (who have much to still learn about such thing as the multi-verse and such) that the object of their Quest is nothing less than Analogs of themselves! That is, yet another elfin set named Fertal and Artizza! If they win this Quest (a Challenge set up by a very naughty little girl right before she got royally "smacked down" as Elrondir puts it later), these analogs get free of all claims from the Office of Evil and (due to prior wishes) can become yet ANOTHER set of Champions....

If not, then the analogs are going to have to face resisting the "persuasion techniques" for recruitment into a "Shadow War".

At the time it will look like something like an elfin double duet, but later we'll see it's three. Three is a magic number, they say after all....

"Okay," Ragan sighs, "This is Frellin' weird."

1. Artizza and Fertal, meanwhile, announce they shall stay upon Moya until then, awaiting them....
