Chapter 9: Fate's wheels turn.

As I knelt in front of a patch of wet, dirty looking at it as I spoke. "I will be back, Tina, have a nice rest and sweet dreams," I said, putting a handful of dirt on the grave, and slowly got up. Walking towards the bones of the last big tiger-like animal, as I stored them, I noticed three glowing objects near the Crystal.

It was a round. As I picked it up, a screen appeared in front of me.

[Do you want to make a blueprint for 'Fire' Ammo? Yes or No.]

It was a 45-70 round, but the tip was different; it had strange patterns on it. There were three of them. So I pulled out the lever-action, loaded one of the rounds, took aim at a boulder not that far away, and fired. The moment the round hit the rock, cracks of fire spread across it.

I quickly pressed yes as one of the rounds turned into light, and a beep came from my system as I pulled it up.

As I stored the Crystal while looking at the system.

[Rare Flame Saber Tooth tiger B-rank Crystal 1x]

I see, so that was a special kind of it's kind as I looked at the bears, it was just a normal B-rank Crystal. I had no idea what these Crystals were for, but they had to be worth money. As I looked at the money lying on the ground, it was five silver coins. I stored them as I started going around picking up the others' drops.

The other big Saber Tooth ended up allowing me to make Lightning rounds. I tested one on a boulder, and it blew it into bits. Putting away the lever-action rifle along with my other firearms, I looked at my body; my clothes were covered in blood and dirt, so I walked towards the lake, taking them off as I walked into the lake, not caring if something was in it.

As I went under the crystal clear water, letting the blood and dirt off me, I noticed a box in the middle of the lake. Was that a chest? I thought to myself as I swam towards it. As I reached it and opened it, a scroll-like object floated out of it.

[Gift of the Goddess Alune]

The system said as I opened it and read it.

[Take this scroll to the Ruin temple of Alune, and she will grant you one wish.]

I quickly grabbed it and stored it, swimming back to the edge of the lake. As I walked out of the water, I knew what I needed to do now—pulling a bag out and grabbing some clothes my size. As I opened the system, I made a leather holster for the two revolvers along with a sling for the lever-action. Both cost me sixty mana.

I also read my new Titles. The hunter class lets me increase damage to beast monsters, and the Magic weapon smith allows me to make magic weapons with the crystals of monsters that have a magic trait to them. So that is one way to use the Crystals I got from those two.

Beast Slayer is the same as Goblin Slayer, allowing me extra damage to Beast monsters as I laid the Leather revolver holsters, which had a belt with it. I counted twelve places to put rounds on it. Along with the sling, there are six more places for 45-70 rounds.

Pulling up my system, I went to make the fire-and-lightning rounds. It costs 10 mana per round for the magic .45 Colt rounds and 15 mana for the 45-70. I made ten rounds of fire and ten rounds of lightning for the .45 Colt. That costs 200 mana for all the rounds; I need more mana, that is for sure.

I made six rounds of each for the 45-70, which cost me 180 mana. Luckily, I still had more regular rounds left. I loaded the lever-action with regular rounds, then placed the two sets of six special rounds in the holder and on the sling. As I finished, I took the water purifier and filled up the camel pack.

Putting the belt in the holster as I put the revolvers in them before putting the camel pack on and slung the lever action. I saw a group of flowers and picked some before walking back to the grave and placing them on it as I spoke.

"Tina, wait. I have a way to bring you back, and I will do it, just rest in your slumber." I said before getting back and looking around. I made up my mind that once I bring her back to life, I will build a home here.

I began to walk towards the beach.

As the lake area became quiet, the sound of rustling could be heard as a group of blonde-haired, pointy-eared beings walked out. "Is this where the chest of legend was whispered to be?" A female voice drifted out from behind the group as another one spoke.

"Yes, princess." A woman said as the group spread out. The blonde-haired woman walked to the edge of the lake and noticed some odd, blood and dirt-covered clothes as she knelt. "I fear we may not have been the first ones to find this place." She said before walking into the lake.

As the others spread out, the Princess made her way to the center of the lake and noticed the open chest before returning to the shore. A sigh escaped her mouth as she spoke.

"Arwen, it looks like someone got here sooner." The Princess said, making the one she spoke to walk up and bow.

"Princess Luthien, we have found evidence that whoever it was was here recently. So we could find them." Arwen said, making the Princess in her wet gown tilt her head and nod.

She hoped that whoever it was would be willing to sell it or trade it, as her people needed that scroll, or their fate was doomed. The war has cost her people suffering, and she wanted to end it with the hands of their goddess.

At the shore, I walked onto the once again lonely rock beach before stopping as I took out my knife and cut the bark off a tree six feet tall so it would take years to grow back. Before I took my time carving the words 'This way to Tina's resting place'. In this way, I should be able to find her grave. I will come back here every few years until I bring her back.

My stomach started to make sounds. Reminding me I hadn't eaten since yesterday, and last night I used a lot of my energy. So I made up my mind to make a fire here and cook some of the fish I got.

As I watched the food cook, I quickly reached for my revolver and fired at a tree. "I don't know who you are, but come out now!" I yelled out.

Backing up so I could jump behind a rock that was close by. Waiting on the person to come out, as I heard another bush moving, pulling out the second revolver, backing up.

Five women walked out with bows drawn, and my eyes widened. All of them had pointy ears, and only one thing came to my mind. "Elves," I muttered as a voice yelled out in a strange launge, making the women lower their bows as more Elves slowly walked out of the forest speaking a tongue I didn't know.

Until an elve with blonde hair walked out with wet hair and a wet gown, as I could see the patch of pubic hair above her pussy and her pink nipples through it, making me cough as she followed my eyes and blushed a little, pulling a clock out of a storage area and wrapping herself up as she coughed.

She started speaking to me, but I couldn't understand her.

"I have no idea what you are saying," I said, making her tilt her head for a moment and smile as she pulled a ring out. Holding her hand out as I looked at it for a moment, and put my revolvers back in the holsters as I walked closer.

She smiled as I picked the ring up, and she pointed to her index finger on her right hand. I put it on as she spoke again.

"Can you understand me now?" She said with a smile.

"Yes, I can," I said as my stomach growled, and she chuckled at that.

"You can eat while we talk." Her voice sounded like a rainbow would if it could; it was filled with a joyful and kind feeling. I nodded my head and took a seat back at my fire as she sat down across from me.

"I am Princess Luthien, the twelfth Princess of the Elven Empire called Luneth. Did you happen to have the scroll that was in the chest at the bottom of the lake near here?" She said, and as she spoke of the scroll, my body jumped a little, making me curse in my mind as her eyes lit up.

Well, the cat is out of the bag. "And if I do, are you planning to take it by force?" I said, moving one hand to my thigh.

"I wish to make a trade." She said.
