Alessia's POVErigor told me a lot about his life in the past years here in this place. He did not know what the name of this place was so he then decided to call it La Krispana even though that was not its name.I also learned that there are stray mountain goats here that Erigor hunts to be his daily food. I see the dried meat of the goats and instead of feeling hungry and greedy, my stomach seems to be turning upside down. I don't know if that can pass as food. But what I do know, is that was his food while staying in this place.But I don't want to eat them myself. Maybe if I don't have a choice, I'll eat that. But right now, while I don't feel hungry yet, I won't eat."You don't want to eat? It just looks inedible, but it's delicious. It's just like dried fish, only it's fat because we don't have salt in it. But it's filling and will help to prolong our lives." He promised me and again offered me a piece of dried meat that he had roasted on the fire.I was nervous. What if I get s
Alessia's POV"Take this path and pick the wood you see. Just take the path back and you'll be back here. I'll be on the other side so we can go faster." He promised me so I nodded.Erigor and I immediately parted ways and I followed the path he was telling me. I don't know if I can see any trees in this area. There is a lot of stone here and not wood.Instead of complaining I looked for wood. I could see some trees but they weren't real, they were just small branches blown by a strong wind. But I still picked it up because it would also fall asleep making a fire. Big or small, that's important, especially in this situation. As they say, you will only see its value at a time when you already lost it.I keep walking and I collect wood. I don't know if they last all night because I don't think so. I still get a little and I have traveled a long way. But I still know the way back. This is a beautiful place, you won't get lost inside because there is only one way.I've made a few turns an
Alessia's POVI can feel the heat from the fire. I'm now huddled in a corner while Sushi is still unconscious. I'm already feeling worried because he still hasn't woken up until now. Sushi was breathing, and I couldn't see any other signs that would worry me more. All I know now is that I have to protect him.Maybe this will pass and everything will be fine. Sushi will also wake up as if nothing happened. I hope that when I wake up tomorrow he will be fine.I remembered what happened earlier when I came back from Cerberus's cave."This is all I got." I tried not to stutter as I faced Erigor who was carrying more wood than I had managed to get before the Slither attacked me."Is there little wood there?" He asked me in surprise. He put what he got on the floor."Yeah, it's all I got," I answered him.Erigor looked at me as if surprised. He noticed that my clothes were dirtier than before we broke up."What happened to you?" I frowned when he asked me so I looked at myself."I-I slipped
Alessia's POVWe are now facing a steep road, or it can be called a road because it is a climb if you want to go to the top. It's too steep for a road."This is where we're going." He promised me.I can't count the cheapness that I lost in my mind. I just told myself that I don't know how to climb steep places and here we are now, going to climb this."W-is there no other way here?" I asked him hesitantly. I don't seem to want to see the place he is talking about because of the steep road."There's no easy way to a good place, Ales. It's always hard to get there because you'll be greeted with unforgiving beauty when you get past it." He deeply promised me. I feel that every word he utters has a meaning. Of course that made sense, but I didn't expect it from him."For every joy, there is a bitter past...is that what you mean?" I confirmed with him.Erigor looked at me. "You got it. All the success and glory there's a wounded and scarred warrior lurking behind. Because true success is h
Alessia's POVI eat grilled meat. I still can't believe it was all a dream. I feel that the accident that happened to me was real. No matter how hard I try to convince myself, there is something in my heart that says that they happened.But my mind became more confused because of an unexpected dream—about the fairies who first settled here in Wysteria.The Agamemnon in my dream was far from what I expected. In my mind or imagination, he is full of darkness and scary. But he is the opposite of my dream. He is a wonderful being who can do anything to protect his child. He is just a father who loves his son very much. But what do they say Sushi Agamemnon, the king of darkness is the one who will bring everyone's doom?Is my mind just playing tricks on me? Dreams are not real, so they may be just a figment of my imagination. But I can't stop thinking about the possibilities. I can't even be sure that Agamemnon is the one in my dream. How can I dream of someone without meeting him? Not unl
Alessia's POV"I've arrived!" I almost shouted that Erigor stopped and looked back at me.He frowned because of what I said. "What do you mean?" He asked me in wonder while his hands were on the cursed flowers. Not afraid of the bad luck they bring.I swallowed. I couldn't help but scream that especially and that dream was messing with my mind and now, I can see it here. I couldn't help but think that the dream had a meaningful message."I-I dreamed about this—last night. This place, like this, and then there were—""—fairy. Am I right?" I was stunned by Erigor's interruption of what I said. Not only that but also because of what he said about the fairy."H-how did you know?" I can't explain how I feel right now. I am very confused by what is happening. Everything gets more complicated as time goes on.Erigor smiled at me as if telling me not to worry."Because I've dreamed of them several times. Over and over in my dreams, a king of the fairies took his son away to save him. But that
Alessia's POVI WILL die...I feel weak because of that word that is drowning in my mind. What if the moment I touch the stone, I die? What's the point of me struggling to live if in the end it's just wasted? I am in a difficult situation where I have to shop. Can I risk my life to escape? I'll still have the desire to get out of here if I'm going to die too?"Is...there any other way for me to get out of here?" I can't stop asking. I'm afraid to bet. I know I sound cowardly, but it's hard to gamble on something you don't know what's going to happen and there's no certainty.That's the only way and choice you have, daughter of eve.My will weakens and fear consumes me. But if I don't do anything, I will be imprisoned in this place for life. I didn't even bother him calling me the daughter of eve. That's the very least of my concern.How will you know if you're going to succeed if you don't try?It was like the sound of a bell ringing in my ears. That's what Erigor told me in my dream.
Alessia's POVSilence prevailed between Erigor and me. I couldn't speak because all my attention was on him. I'm afraid that if I get distracted, I'll ruin it right away. I cannot underestimate his ability, because it would be a big mistake to underestimate him.We were both waiting to see who would attack first. But I have no intention of getting ahead. I will be in a disadvantageous position if I will attack first. I looked at Sushi who still had a fierce look on his face.Mine own mistress, receiveth out from there! Thee has no chance against your creature!I feel that what Sushi says is true. To be honest, I have nothing against Erigor, especially with his body which is stretched. But if I don't fight, what will I do? I'll just let him hurt me and do what he wants. I can't agree with that.In the middle of my thoughts, Erigor suddenly attacked and it hit my stomach so I was thrown backward. I rolled around in the garden and I could feel that my arms were covered with wounds due to
