CHAPTER 16 - TRAVEL
NEAR the western part of the Great Lake, Seti gave a pouch of gold to Baliq. The latter beamed as he checked the several gold coins that cost a fortune.
“You’re indeed generous, lioness.” Baliq grinned.
“I just want to make sure we’re safe once we cross the Great Lake.”
“Of course! I’ve been in this business for years now.” Baliq said proudly, and he winked. He put the pouch in his pocket.
“Smuggler,” Attisha murmured.
Seti rolled her eyes and looked at Attisha. “You can still go back in case you change your mind. You know the possible outcome of this mission.”
Attisha shook her head. “I’m ready for this. I want to help our friend.”
The Escort clapped. “All right! I guess everyone is ready. I am doing this since my nephew also asked me to help you. You know Kane Gunther?”
The ladies did not reply

Malaika CHAPTER 17 - DANGER
MALAIKA spent the night with the couple, and at last, she had finally got a chance to fill her stomach. Frode helped her out to dry the leopard’s skin. He also cut a portion of his fur cloak to make a temporary cover for her feet. She was thankful for their generosity, especially now that she felt warm. Frode had excavated the ground to put on the leopard’s carcass. And he also gave his passing prayer to the dead animal. Everyone settled into the deeper part of the burrow to hide the smoke coming from the fire they created. “I guess we’re safe here tonight,” Frode reassured them. “However, this is not a safe place for you, dear—because this is Axum,” Helga said in the midst of their dinner as she focused on Malaika. She held a stick of roasted elk. “I know,” Malaika breathed out. She took another bite of the meat, and it tasted delicious. Just now, she realized how she was starving.She offered a small piece for Xoxo
Malaika CHAPTER 18 - ENCOUNTER
MALAIKA, along with her newfound companions, walked at dawn amidst the freezing breeze. Xoxo was somehow giving her body warmth, just enough for her to function. “It’s a full day walk, Mala. Are you sure you can make it?” Frode asked. He carried the dried skin of the leopard and the remaining meat of the elk. “Of course, she’ll make it, darling!” Helga sounded optimistic. She clutched all the weapons to help her husband carry the load. Malaika only nodded and smiled. Despite the feeling that she would freeze anytime soon if Xoxo didn’t lend his magical warmth. Then she heard Xoxo’s voice in her mind. “This is the only temperature I can give, Princess. It’s enough for you to survive this harsh climate when you reach your destination. At least, your body is covered now.” “Yeah, thanks.” She murmured. The journey seemed an eternity for Malaika. The coniferous forest was vast as t
Malaika CHAPTER 19 - CAPTURED
SETI remained alert as much as possible. She could see the barriers slowly disintegrating from the checkpoint. It wasn’t noticeable before, but the mana surrounding the place tells otherwise. The reason she still pursued to move forward than going back. They couldn’t waste more time since they only had a few days, and they must not return empty-handed.She pondered if she had made a mistake earlier. It was her fault they got captured. But one thing she was certain of, these guards were not as bad as she imagined. Maybe they would give them a fair trial once they brought them for further investigation. If not, they would find another way to escape. As long as they were still breathing, anything could happen. Seti had to remain positive.Meanwhile, Attisha unintentionally shifted to a large red mushroom that made the guards flabbergasted. But she quickly turned back to her original self after a few minutes. Maybe she was trying some ways to esca
Malaika CHAPTER 20 - VERGIFA FOREST
ALLEKI’s team finally arrived at the Bridge on the Eastern Gate. Eight guards greeted them when they entered the border. The commander presented the scroll containing the invitation as delegates from Hala.“Dhagoz Tavee…” said one of the guards in the Virinan language. It means ‘welcome.’Alleki and his team lightly arched their heads to acknowledge the greeting. And they all gave a halan salute.Almost everyone expressed their admiration when they moved past the border.The guards escorted them in silence.This might be the way of Axum to make them feel welcome and to ensure their safe travel inside their territory.“I have never seen anything like this!” Kaca exclaimed as she studied around.There were mountain ranges, and some parts floated while waterfalls endlessly flowed.Everyone could feel the overflowing mana. The floating
Malaika CHAPTER 21 - WATER SUMMON
WHILE on the northern part of Axum, Helga gave another pair of winter clothing to Malaika. She found Malaika inside her late daughter’s room while gently brushing her long, wavy hair.“Thank you, Helga.” Malaika smiled, and she looked back at her reflection in the mirror beside the fireplace. She only wore her underpants and covered her body with a fur cloak.Malaika had just finished her warm bath. It had been three days since she was here, and her energy returned after she rested well.And she felt comfortable. Malaika always expressed her gratitude to the couple for helping her despite being a stranger.“May I do that?” Helga stretched her arms, reaching for the comb.“Sure.” She handed her the hairbrush, and then she removed her cloak. Exposing her bare skin.“I like your body markings, Mala. You’re a warrior indeed.” Helga appeared to amaze a
Malaika CHAPTER 22 - REALIZATION
YULLI alertly positioned himself beside the commander. He counted the guards surrounding them. They were twelve, and they appeared to be possessed. They only stared blankly, as their eyes were entirely white.“Are we allowed to kill them, Commander?” Yulli asked. They were surrounded, and everyone was standing still in a circular pattern waiting for Alleki’s command.“If they attempt to harm us, we don’t have a choice but to defend ourselves. For now, find the one controlling them.” Alleki ordered him.Yulli nodded and quickly shifted to his wolf form. He jumped high to avoid the possessed guards as his fellow warriors helped him out.He quickly vanished into the thick smoke, and he howled aloud as he heard the approaching footsteps based on the crushing of twigs and leaves on the ground. Then he ran in a circular motion, jumping from one tree to another until the enemies revealed themselves.
Malaika CHAPTER 23 - GOVERNOR
ALLEKI waited until every member of his squad ran in a different direction. They had to take cover for now since it was the most sensible to do than fighting with all these magic users. He knew it would be a suicide considering their small numbers.Yulli stood beside the commander. They only moved until Kane and Luan passed from sight. It appeared that Luan was assisting the whale shifter, since his attribute was useless on this battlefield.Kane had to rely on the speed of his ride, unlike Luan, who could immediately shift into his lion form in case something happened to his halan cheetah.“Let’s go!” Alleki commanded before the swarming enemies reached them.He was in a defensive position before moving. They ran with the cheetahs and vanished into the thickness of the Vergifa forest.After an hour, they were regrouped as planned. All were startled to witness the heavily torn land bridge on their way. As if an exp
Malaika CHAPTER 24 - SACRED GROUND
MALAIKA’S temperature went high, and she was in a convulsive state. Helga panicked as Frode kept on telling her to calm down.“This is my fault if only I hadn’t forced her to learn magic.” Helga held Malaika’s forehead, and her body temperature would not subside despite giving her a cold compress.“Take it easy, Helga. Mala couldn’t properly harness her powers yet. That’s why it happened. At least now we know she’s special.” Frode stretched his arm and held his wife’s hand.“I-I must be imagining, but Mala could summon the water without incantation. How can it be possible?”Frode heaved a sigh. “I don’t know. But it’s dangerous to keep her here. Everyone in this village has heard about the melting of the lake.”“What are we going to do?”“Once the snowstorm abated, I’ll hide her. Don&rs
