“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
I open my eyes just to close it again. The bright light coming from the sun hurts my eyes so I waited until I got accustomed to the light. Somewhat I smell something like flowery scent so I feel relaxed before I open my eyes. I look around to see that I am in a wide luxurious room. “You are awake?” I look towards the voice to see Lana smiling at me as she leans on the wall.“Not again. Why do I keep on waking up like this? W-Where are we?” I utter in frustration as I slowly get up.I look around the room. It’s a relief to see that I am in a much better room. It is like any other room inside a mansion. Pink princess bed, coffee table on the side, side table beside the bed and other expensive stuffs. I don’t need to be a detective to figure out that I am inside the castle. “When you become unconscious we brought you in one of the rooms of the cattle after we freed the people, the higher officials, and the king and queen from the dungeon” Lana said making me sigh.“How long have I been
After we rested we bid our farewell to the kingdom’s people and to the king and queen before we ride out. I look back to the gate after we ride out of the kingdom. For some reason I feel something weird on my chest. It is not fear, not nervousness, not excitement but something I can’t explain. I look at my companions. I feel jealousy emerging from my chest seeing Leo and Flora riding together in which Leo is like hugging Flora from behind. Lana is riding beside us alone while Leo and Flora are riding in front. For some reason we decided to ride on 3 to make it more convenient and faster. “Are… Are you… feeling alright Riri?” I flush upon hearing that and feeling his warm breath on my nape.“I-I am fine Vlash, no need to worry.” I said hiding my burning face.Since I am not a great rider and that I don’t know how to direct this ‘delph’ a creature they uses as means of transportation like horses on our world, I have to ride with someone. Since Vlash can protect me as what they keep on i
I just look at Vlash still unable to react to what he said. How did he find out that Lana.... is a magical fairy? This is so bad when Lana is not here. Shall I tell him?“I sensed her magic. I put things together and observe you two while we travel before. There is something more to it than what you’ve told us about who you two are. You are hiding things from us, right?” Vlash said looking at me with his intense gaze.“I-I... yes- yes she is. Lana said that her kind was all sold to slave trades for their magic so we have to keep it a secret. T-That is all what we have keep from you.” I said before I look at his face. I don’t want to lie but I can’t possibly tell him that I have a mysterious looking necklace on my neck that he and the others can’t see. That…… THIS is the reason why I meet Lana and why I am here. I look at his eyes just to see him looking at me thus making an eye contact. Once again I start to be drawn into his lovely bluish eyes. Then it happens.... again.I am standin
We all wake up early in the morning and continue our journey. As usual I am riding with Vlash and I can feel my heart beating as fast as we continue the ride. I look towards Leo and Flora riding in front of us, I see how sweet they are as Flora gazes up to Leo and smile. I feel this sting on my chest making me look up at Vlash’ face to see him still emotionless but is looking towards the direction of Leo and Flora to. I swear I see how he swallows hard.“We are already near the edge of Eurie. After a few hours we will cross the border that separates Eurie and the Forbidden Land.” Lana said as she rides beside us.“That is right; it’s more dangerous in there than in here. Stay on guard.” Leo said as I sigh.We are as silent as we travel passing rivers and forests. I feel so tired with my legs on the back of this creature and how the way is so uneven making the ride bumpy and unpleasant for me. We all came into a stop when we arrive on an open field full of beautiful flowers.“We should
When the bright light fades the Lebron soldiers are alerted seeing group of men standing in front of us holding their weapons. The acting leader of the Lebron soldiers steps back in surprise.“Who- Who are they?” the leader utters in surprise making him step back.“The Covans, they are the hunters that are feared by many. They are here, how?” said by one of the Lebron soldiers as they all look so rattled.“We are having so much fun hunting in the forest. Then, OUR little sister calls us just because of the pest like you. Well, this will be more fun than hunting a beast.” Wei said swinging his sword on his sides and his followers attacks those Lebron soldiers. I just watch as Wei’s group fight those groups of Lebron soldiers who seem to have lost their drunkenness when Wei’s group appeared. After a few hours of sword fighting and screaming those Lebron soldiers are all defeated, most died and those who survive run away wounded. “You guys alright? Riri are you feeling good?” Wei said w
