Phantasia: The Princess Knight

A large prairie that stretched as far as the eye could see spread out in front of Alicia and her group. Off in the distance, Alicia could see some very large tents set up. "Blake, what's that over there?"

"They… Those are from either the goblin or Ogre race. They are the ones who rule this area. Those tents are much bigger up close, we are still a ways away from there. It is best if we do not get to close as well. These two races are known for kidnapping females from other races and breeding with them. They even have breeding farms set up. When a female of their own race is born they are treated like saints and are worshipped. This is mainly because out of one thousand births may be only one female will be born." Blake explained. 

He went on to say that these races are extremely territorial as well and will attack anyone who gets too close to their settlements. There have been many battles that involved merchants who were traveling through and the mercenary groups that were protecting them.

"If they are kidnapping women of different races, why don't they send an army to lower their numbers and retrieve the women?" Alicia asked. She wondered why any country would let them do as they pleased if they are kidnapping people.

"This is because they have what are called poison mages. They cast large poison spells that attack friend and foe. They do not care for the lives of their own soldiers. They will wipe out thousands just to kill the invading army. Because of this, any time a person is kidnapped by them, the governments will just turn a blind eye to it all." It was not that they wished to leave these poor females in the hands of the ogres and goblins, it was just that the lives of a few compared to the lives of thousands, was just not worth it. They did not want to risk their soldiers dying to save a few women.

"I see… It makes sense. I would probably make the same choice. It may seem cruel but to save those who by the time you got to them would already be wanting to die, the risk is just worth it." Alicia did not like the idea of sacrificing anyone. But in a situation where the enemy was willing to kill their own people with poison risking the lives of thousands of men was not worth it at all.

"I suggest we walk around them if we can. They are not worth looking at. But we do need to pass through their domain to reach the Fey. We might even be able to meet up with some fairies while we are there. That is if they are willing to allow us to stop off at any of their cities. They do not like humans much." It was understandable that the Fey did not like humans. They were a mix of different races from Vampires to Ents. Each of which has been hunted by humans as slaves. Rich nobles from different countries will buy them and then put them on display. This of course was a practice banned within Alastine territory but some nobles still buy Fey from the black market. 

"If we can find a hidden village of fairies I would be very happy. There might even be a cute boy fairy that can match my little Frey." Alicia said as she patted Frey's head. contemporary romance

Frey Blushed at the talk of a cute boy fairy before hiding herself in Alicia's hair. Only then did she shout. "Mother and Father are being mean, teasing Frey!" Frey's little outburst caused the three of them to laugh.

"In any case the four of us are not even human so we should be okay." Alicia said. She was a celestial. Blake was from the gods race and also had celestial blood in him. Loeri was a dragon and Frey was a fairy.

"Now that you say it, this is very true. I guess it is worth a shot. But first, we need to make it through this area without being ambushed." Blake had a feeling that with two females, that is if you did not count Alicia who was disguised as Alex, that they were bound to be ambushed no matter what.

"Funny how you say that since we are already surrounded." Loeri frowned as she got into a fighting stance. 

"There are really a lot of them too..." Alicia had used detection magic as soon as Loeri said they were surrounded. There were at least a thousand goblins rushing towards them and they had already encircled her group. "Who wants to deal with it?" 

"I can't. I will end up burning the entire area and nothing will end up growing back. " Loeri was the first to answer.

"Frey, tired so Frey will take a nap." 

" I guess that leaves Blake and me." Alicia sighed. 

"I will take care of it." Blake placed his hand on top of Alicia's head and smiled. He raised his hand and clouds began to form overhead. Gusts of wind began to blow across the prairie. The tall blades of grass bent over to reveal the horde of goblins that were hiding within. 

Alicia watched as multiple tornados quickly touched down, picking up goblin after goblin and tossing them high into the air before sending them smashing down to the ground. The screams of the goblins could be heard all over. 

"Luckily they did not send out any of their poison users. But this is normal when a female is involved they do not want the females to die." Loeri suddenly said as she watched the scene in front of her. 

"Sadly we can not save the girls that have been taken." Alicia paused before waving her own hand. Another dark cloud formed over head right over the closest goblin camp. Multiple bolts of lightning began raining down from the sky smashing into the tall tents, destroying everything they struck lighting it on fire.
