Just as Lisa had promised, she left early to go fetch a friend who could help you. At midday, she arrived with the Light Witch.
The Light Witch was a fair, silver-haired Elven lady. She had long pointy ears and deep malachite eyes, and a serene countenance befitting that of a queen. When she spoke, her silken voice was gentle, exactly as how you'd expect a Tolkien elf to sound like.
Lisa began the formal introductions. “Nathan Drake, this is Lady Victoria Izh’mir. The Matriarch of the Order of Light, of the Grand Coven of Beowulf. Lady Izh’mir, this is Sir Nathan Drake.”
The High Elf nodded at you. “I'm pleased to meet you, Sir Nathan Drake.”
You can't help but feel your face heat up. Her elvish grace was enough to have an effect on you. It doesn't help either that you're still a cripple stuck in bed due to your leg, and they're speaking of you as if you're a knight…
“You must be in great pain,” Victoria said softly.
“It’s not so bad now,” You admit.
“Yesterday, I cleaned up his wound and applied a poultice which helped make the swelling go down,” Lisa said. “Nathan got injured when a dungeon collapsed with him inside it.”
“I see.”
Victoria Izh’mir looked at you.
“I can heal your leg. You will be able to walk again today,” she said. “But…”
You cut her off, almost sure that there's a catch. “What do you want in return?” You say.
The High Elf blushed deeply. “Nothing!” She said. “Nothing at all, it's just that I wouldn't want to do it if it's against your will. But I insist that you let me. It's for your good.”
Lisa and Victoria waited patiently for your answer. You give it a thought.
Being able to walk again today was a big thing. What can be better than that? But you still aren't sure if this hospitality came without a catch. Trusting a witch last time resulted in your injury now after all.
>ACCEPT. You agree to let the Light Witch heal your injury.>REFUSE. You refuse to let the Light Witch heal you.>ASK. You curiously ask why an important and high-ranking elf like Victoria wishes to help you.>WRITE-IN.
