I hesitantly look at the dagger in the store keeper’s hand. He looks at me assuring me that it is okay for me to take the dagger in his hands. I can’t really trust him even if he is smiling at me. What if he will ask for something in return after? “Are- Are you sure sir? Can I really have it without any conditions or payments?” I ask still unsure as I look at the store keeper and the dagger in his hands.“It is now yours to keep miss.” The store keeper said still smiling.I am still reluctant to take it but the assuring smile on his face made me reach for the dagger that is on his hands. Upon my skin’s contact with the dagger, the blinking green light appears again as I completely take the dagger in my hands looking into it in awe.“I just wonder… you seem to hold no magic in you yet, the dagger has chosen you. This is the first time something like this happened. It is intriguing to see such peculiar happening?” The store keeper said as I look at the dagger that is blinking within my
“Riri, where- where did you get that dagger? I never saw you with that before?” I look up to see Flora and see her standing in front of me as I sat on the bed wiping the dagger’s blade with a white satin cloth.“U-Uhmnnn it was given to me as a gift by our kind host Sir Hulio. I met him on his store when I got separated with everyone a little while ago.” I said as I look at the mysterious dagger in my hand.“That seems to be a magical dagger. Be careful when using magical weapons. They tend to go against their wielder when their magic isn’t controlled really well.” Flora said making me look at the dagger.“I think it is okay for her to have that. She can use it to defend herself. Riri don’t need to control that weapon’s magic since it seems that the weapon has chosen her.” Lana said making me look at her.“It’s a little baffling that a magical weapon choses her. It’s so rare when a magical weapon choses someone who is none magic user as their owner. I guess you are right; we can’t let
“What- what is going on?” I ask as they rush in and Leo locks the door behind them.“Lebron soldiers, they are here.” Flora said alerted.We just watch her as she walks towards the lamps and blows the light’s off from the 4 lamps in the room making the room dark. She then walks towards the window and pulls the curtain down then peeks.“Lebron? Wait isn’t that the dark kingdom you told me about?” I ask Lana wide eyed as Lana slide down the bed and walk towards Flora to look at what is happening outside as we hear metal clinking and people screaming.“Yes. I don’t know how but... how did they manage to enter the gate?” Leo said.We all turn towards the door when we hear a loud knock from behind. I look at the others feeling so nervous and scared.“It’s me Hulio. Are you okay in there?” Leo opens the door and Sir Hulio enters followed by his son holding a sword in his hand.“What is happening?” I ask as the two look at us checking if we are okay.“Someone let the Lebron soldiers into the
“We have no time left. Ask for their help to defend the town and rid of those Lebron soldiers out.” Lana said making me look at her then to the mystical creatures in front of me.“Ahmnnn forgive us for calling you all in a time like this. But, if it isn’t against your well, can you help us rid of those Lebron soldiers out of the town? It will be a great help if you are willing to help us.” I said as I look at all of these creatures before me.“We will aid you in any way we can. We have been into hiding for a quite long time. This is the only moment we have been called after long years.” The voice said as they all bow their heads towards me taking me off guard.“To what I see, they must have agreed. We must begin then before it’s too late.” Lana said and I nod as I turn to face the door.“Thank you, we will never forget this. I promise we will repay you in any way we can.” I said as I look at them.“No.... thank you, child from the normal world. We feel needed again after long years of
“Who- Who are you?” I ask upon seeing the olds woman leaning on the wall of the house giving off an intimidating aura that scares me.“Loosen up child. My name is Husea, I am the future-seer of Sallis. You have come this far, you are also yet developing. If I may ask, your name is Rianne am I right?” the old woman said making me look at her still intimidated to her scary aura. “Y-Yes Rianne... is my name. W-What do you mean by what you have said?” I ask feeling relieved when I feel her emanating aura changes into a soothing one and then disappears. I see her smile then slowly walk towards me so I subconsciously step back. “You will see soon child. When the time comes and you develop on your journey here in Evetora, you will find out why you are here and to what will you do after.” The old lady said with a smile that made me feel chills into my body.I watch her as she turn her back to me and start to leave towards the back door where I came from a little while ago. She stops then tu
“Our friends, I think it is best if you leave this work of rebuilding the town to us. Continue your journey, might as will check if that rumor is true, which I pray that it is not to be true.” The chief said as we all look at one another.After that we decided to continue our journey towards the kingdom of Eurie. I can see the worry and confusion into Leo’s face as we pack our things back at Sir Hulio’s place.“Are… are we all ready to continue our journey?” Flora asks looking at us from behind them.“Forgive us if we must haste back home... we thought we can look around the town but the hunter’s news made me worried.” Leo said apologetic to us.“Don’t mind us Leo, we are fine. If what the hunter said is true we must go and see what is going on.” I said as I look at him and smile but immediately look away seeing Flora is coming towards us.“Are we set to go?” Flora said as she stops beside Leo who smiles at her lovingly and I feel my heart aches that made me want to punch it in annoyan
In the end me and Lana together with the kids and 2 women sneak into the gate and enter to the kingdom. “Weird, it’s so silent and there are no people here. What... have happened?” I said as we all look around the street but all we can see are houses without any people; the street is messy to with those baskets and fruits all over.“Where are the others?” ask the young boy behind me as he hold a stick firmly in his hands as if ready to strike someone.It’s cute how they look so brave while holding their ‘weapons’. I look ahead of us feeling this ominous aura again as if it is coming towards us.“Come on, let’s all hide. Someone is coming.” Lana said as she pulls my hand and the other follow behind us.As we hide behind that abandoned wagon containing some sacks full of grains, we watch as 4 dark soldiers wearing a violet with brown armors, not the same armor as to those who attack Sallis. They are carrying a wagon with a cage and inside are 10 bodies. I nearly stand when I see that th
“MISS RIRI!” I heard another scream with his powerful cold voice that seems to have sent chills all over my body waking every part of my senses.Upon hearing Vlash’ call my senses are back and I look at that approaching ugly soldier ready to slash us with his sword. All that is in my mind right now is to keep the kids safe. I take a deep breath to try calm myself. I know that this time, like that night before in the forest, I am alone to fight and I need to protect these kids. There is no time for me to get scared or cower in fear. I need to do something or anything. I look at that angry ugly soldier running almost near us as I raise the dagger and firmly hold it into my hand. By just looking at his weapon, against my dagger will be too impossible but..... I only hope for the best.“Nohhhh!!” I heard some screams followed by the kids’ screams and tightening of their grip to me.When the ugly soldier raise his sword and about to slash it into my head I immediately raise the dagger up to
