Chapter 107 Elves connect
Kan observed the two people who were seemingly adults in the situation, scrutinizing them both to see when the act would break and then they could all laugh it off because as far as he was concerned, what was being said to him made little sense and was quite offensive and he needed it to stop.
"So let me get this straight. You give birth for people and dad gives people births or however that is said?!!" Kan asked, looking at his mother with an eyebrow raised that said..."You see? Hearing it now yourself does make it sound crazy, doesn't it?!!" Kan's raised eyebrow was a silent plea for sanity.
"Well, it's not as simple as you think. Here, let me explain. I work with the Elves Connect as a junior level staff because well, my magic rank isn't the best, pretty sure you have an idea of what I'm talking about or I'll have to withdraw you from that school!!" Brenda sidetracked for a moment there again before catching her breath and continuing the explanation.
"There are certain people, humans whom Elves are some times, most of the times compatible with that don't want their spawns, offsprings if you may to be like them. As in, they want a mix race..." Brenda said, pausing there to see if Kan understood a word of what she had just said.
"Okay, so humans now want to have Elves as kids, explain to me why again?" Kan asked not sure if that resolution on the humans side was the brightest idea. Who would want to change their identity? Who?!! ...
"Well, because Elves, while we share almost eighty percent of our core build up with humans, the remaining twenty percent houses something that sets us apart and I'm sure you know this already," Brenda tossed it right back at Kan.
"Magic?" Kan asked.
Brenda nodded subtly. And just then, Austin who was standing, resting his butt on the couch chimed in to say.
"Magic is pretty cool don't you think. Unluckily, I was born a human so I can't wield it but I want my kids and my generations to come to be able to," he said with his teeth all shining like the sun on a Monday morning.
"Ehh? I see," Kan said, nodding his head for quite sometime.
"Great, so you understand now, right?" Brenda asked, a smile tugging across her lips. Kan nodded, internally marinating in the absurdity. Brenda sought confirmation with a smile, and Kan played along. Internally, he cursed the entire situation
'Yes, matter of fact, I do understand that this thing. This whole world is just filled with a bunch of loose head motherf...kers!! I mean, it's crazy!!' Kan internalized but then on the surface, he responded.
"It still doesn't answer the question. What's the bump for? I mean, I told you already had one in you...like an actual baby!!" Kan spoke his mind.
Brenda and Austin at the point both looked at one another, bursting into laughter. After moments of laughing, Brenda managed to get a grip of herself before she said.
"Like I said, I work with an organization. The process is long and a professional one that requires series of monitoring. We are currently in the first phase of the program which is pairing. Your father is with his wife and I'm with him. We will both spend time together, as it is believed to further enhance the chances of success!" Brenda explained.
'So hang on. You guys can do it for as many times as you want and then it might wind up being unsuccessful? What then happens?!!'Kan was going to ask but kept this thought to himself.
"The bump you see around my stomach is a synthetic bump, made specially to simulate pregnancy, the feel and all that comes with it. For the next two weeks, Austin will be here, acting as the father. I hope you can manage Kan, this is what your mother does to take care of you and it's a really important job!!" Brenda said, taking pride in all she had just said.
"Oh...errr..sure.." Kan said, turning around to walk away but just then, something struck him and he just had to ask.
"The man you were with, at the club, the other day and then dad was with someone else, were those also clients?" Kan asked.
"Yes baby, I have no idea why you left so angrily that day. I bet now you know, it makes a lot more sense, doesn't it?!" Brenda asked.
"Yeah...it does," Kan muttered as he dragged his feet out of the living room.
'It makes sense now that I was right to have suspected my parents have a special case of delusion mixed with fucked up societal quirks!!' Kan shook his head as he internalized.
Kan went straight into his room and while in there, he fumed with a lot of emotions all coming into one.
[You know, the growth of the Elf species and the spawning of new magical abilities began since the Elves Connect institute, a group that once solely employed Elves as their workers to foster the coming together of their face, authorized the interracial coupling between humans and Elves. Ever since then, humans and Elves have been relatively closer than any of the other big four?] Hela chimed in to say.
"Okay, so my life's screwed up because of some politics being played that I have absolutely no clue of how it would benefit me?!" Kan asked.
"Also, I think you were there when humans attacked us! I don't remember getting a cup of tea and a handshake for being their friendly Elf neighbor!!" Kan retorted.
[Well, those guys are just assholes. Besides, if you ask me, this is actually a chance for you as well!!] Hela responded.
"I see, how again?!" Kan asked.
[Well, if you do well in school, with good graduating grades, you could get a straight recommendation into the Elves Connect!!] Hela revealed the brilliant plan.
"Okay? But I'm not interested in holding hands with Elves and having tea parties with humans to foster bond!" Kan replied.
[What does that even mean? What I'm saying is, your father and mother are surrogates, correct?] Hela asked.
"Don't rub salt on my wound," Kan replied curtly, the truth still stinging.
[Just something you could toss a way or put at the back of your mind, whatever the case maybe. But, ever thought about maybe...joining the family business?!!] Hela said in a cunning, mischievous tone and straight away, a smile creaked across kan's face as he saw where the system was headed.
"You sly bastard!!" Kan laughed, already finding the idea tempting.
