View MoreIt was a dark and dense forest, I was walking for hours and still didn't see the end of it. I was getting tired and hungry as time went on and I couldn't see if it was day time or not since I could not see the sky. This forest had a weird rumor going about it, people often told story like it was impossible for a human or any other living creature to get out of it alive. And the reason was that in this forest once lived a witch that was trying to escape from the terrible fate human wanted to bring on her, and that was being burned alive. That sure is a scary fate indeed and weirdly her situation and mine were a little similary in the fact that I am trying to escape a fate that would be somehow terrible not as much as hers but still... . And the witch put a spell on this forest so that no one could find her and for a long time she was safe. After a few years the witch suddently left the forest for who known why, and she didn't lift her spell so that more evil human will lose their way in it and eventually die, that was her grudge against them. It is fair enough knowing what she went through but not in my case, I will die too if this rumor is true and looking at how things are going, it indeed seem to be true.. sigh!
After walking for a while I reached a small and old cabin and even though it was in a sorry shape it was still the best thing that could happen to my tired self who could no longer take anymore step. As I went to look for some fire hood, I thought that despite the rumor this forest had some charm. I went around gathering fire hood while admiring it big trees and it small inhabitants. Making some fire in the cabin wasn't easy since I wasn't used to it but soon thanks to the fire the place looked more confortable and warm. I could take a good rest and relaxe while warming up near the fire. Feeling confortable I ate the food I managed to steal from that place I never wish to see again. Remembering what pushed me to become a traveler...well, in my case it is best to say a runaway, made me felt depressed so I decided to clear my mind of any additional worry since I was already in a stressful situation if we don't forget the fact that I may never leave this forest. While I was drinking water I was thinking about how fortunate I was, knowing that until now I managed to avoid the worst like maybe been attacked by some weird beast. As I was feeling relieved about my situation I suddenly hear a loud thud!! like something falling in from of the door, feeling scared I cursed at myself for thinking ahead that I was safe. Nevertless, I decided to take a look with a dagger for my safety in my hand and found an unconcious man that seemed to be injuried.
The man had dark blue hair and a muscular body, I took a look at his injury and it seemed that he was poisoned. What shocked me was the fact that this poison was know to kill in an instant but this man managed to survive until now. Well, forget about the poison, without help he will die in less than an hour seeing as he is losing blood. Even though, he is a stranger and could be a dangerous person, my instinct and heart will never be able to abandon an injuried person. I pulled him inside and took care of his injury and the poison within his body. I understood that he could withstand the poison until now thanks to his muscular and well build body, he must not be a normal human. But then a revelation went through my mind while I was admiring his body and face, he is the first human I encountered since I began my adventure. I felt weirdly happy yet cautious too since it was new to me, Well he will surely be thankful because if he had not encountered me, he would have died by now. Thinking that, I felt content and let him rest since he needed to recover. Before sleeping, I feed him the last drop of water in my bottle, I wanted to find some more water but in this forest it will be difficult. And without water we may soon die of thirst, my dead in a corner sigh!!!
I slept before knowing it because of fatigue and hours passed, it was morning when I woke up, I saw our guest still sound asleep and feeling bored I looked through the cabin. I found a book among the trash, it is a big and old book probably left by the previous owner of this cabin. I was happy of my discovery since I loved to read and this must surely be an interesting book. I wonder what happened to the owner of this book, I hope that he managed to leave this forest and if he did it could be great if he left some clue in the book. Feeling hopeful, I brushed the dust off of the book and began reading it. While reading the first part I had a weird feeling about the book, it was written in a langage that I never saw or learned before but I could understand it clearly. This fact should have scared me and prevented me from reading further but seeing how I was staying in a dangerous forest, in a cabin with a stranger. I thougth that nothing could be worst than my already dreadful situation, hence I ignored the weird part and continued reading. In the book there was all kind of spell and other medical herb..."Wait! oh my god...this..this must be the witch's book! No way, then that rumor I heard must be true...Well, seeing as neither of me or that mysterous and terribly handsome guy could get out of it, seem like it really is the case." I shouted those words out of excitement and made the sleeping guest frown in his sleep.
"Loud!.." The sleeping guest suddently muttered. Even though I was at fault for disturbing his rest by shouting, I didn't care about it and was happy to finally have someone to talk to, I spoke to him cautiously, "Oh! are you okay?"
"Hein?! what did you just say? you recently discovered that you were a witch? how is that possible?" Lise had a surprised expression while saying that and looked at Eleanor with her eyes wide from curiosity."Ah well, I cannot tell you all my story but the main point is that, I was in the cursed forest when I meet the emperor and found a book that belonged to a witch. There was many spells and all kinds of things inside. But I could understand what was written in the book and when I tried to read aloud a spell, it immediately worked. Thanks to that, we were able to escape the forest safely.""The cursed forest.....So, that's were you found out about you been a witch?! is that it?" Lise looked absent minded while saying those words as if her mind was elsewhere."Yes, why do you ask?"When Eleanor asked that question, Lise snapped out of her thoughts and answered,"Well, that is because of my reason for being her...Also, can you tell me the spell you used to get out of the forest? Becau
If someone asked if there was a way to escape the imperial palace's heavily guarded jail, then the answer will obviously be negative. Each cell in the basement of the imperial palace was designed to be unbreakable and without a way out. In addition to that, they made sure that it was guarded by a lot of knights night and day when there was a criminal locked up. It wasn't common to see someone locked inside the prison of the imperal palace, because the empire already had a big jail used to imprison all kind of criminals. Only the most evil one or those who attempted to assassinate the imperial family were locked in the imperial jail until the execution day. And of course, without fail, all the people residing in the imperial palace knew that every person that stepped their foots on the imperial jail would undeniably die by the next few days. That's why the palace was noisy from all the workers gossiping about the fact that the young woman named Eleanor, who was treated like a princess
Escorted by Val and Sebastian, Eleanor didn't feel like a criminal because despite knowing her identity they treated her Kindly, contrary to how they treated the witch locked in the basement. As soon as they left Francis's office, she saw Miel worried sick with a face full of tears.With a faint smile, Eleanor thought that she was truly kind to still worry about her even though she heard the fact that she was a witch.'She must have overheard the conversation but still she is worrying about me and crying for my sake. You are the first human that I thought of as a friend.' She looked at her and took her hand before saying,"Miel, you don't need to worry, I am okay.....everything will be fine. You know, after I came here I always felt out of place and I worried that I wouldn't be able to get used to this place....But thank to you Miel and Elise and Anne, though short I liked my stay here. For that I want to thank you since
At that moment Eleanor felt a great loss, something inside her broke. It wasn't like she felt all that because of the witch's sad fate but because of the fact that she saw herself in her place. She imagined how they would look at her,....how he would look at her if he knew her identity.The simple thought of seeing him reject her or condemn her, hurt her more than she could fantom. But despite her fear, she believed that something must be done in order to save an innocent life. She looked at him for what seemed like an eternity and thougth,'Do you have to go this far?....must it end up like this? I don't want to make thing hard for you, I get what you must have went through. That's why I wouldn't mind it if you cursed at me for the things I am gonna do. It is okay, I am willing to be the bad guy here...maybe one day you will understand what I meant while doing this.'Thinking that the meeting ended Sebastian and Val were
Eleanor couldn't read in Francis's mind, he was indecipherable and his expression didn't show his inner thought. So, she was worried that behind those cold eyes, an inreversible decision may be pronounced and change the course of fate. She prayed deep inside that he would resolve the matter without killing anyone.'Please Francis! don't take that path, it will only end up hurting others and you too...' she tried to forward him those thoughts while looking at him with a sad expression. She couldn't understand his hatred toward witches and wondered why he felt that way toward them.Then suddenly, she saw an image of a young boy who looked like Francis standing at the same place she stood, looking at a man sitting on Francis's office. As she looked at the young boy that was nearly 12 year old, she reconized the familiar golden eyes and dark blue hair. He was looking firmly at the man behind the office desk, standing straigh like a soldier.
He looked at her sharply as he asked her that question. She didn't react to it because she knew that Francis and his closest friends were all smart enough to figure out the tiniest change in her expression. Hence, with a calm tone she answered,"Back then, my grand mother told me all kinds of stories..." Before she could finish, Valeria burst in laughter and said mockingly,"Pfff!Haha! Are you saying that you were telling us child's stories, right now?!This is ridicilous, you are wasting our times""Well, I don't really care about your time miss, but if you could refrain from interrupting me, that would be helpful." At her reply, Alphonse and Sebastian were having a hard time hidding their laughter, it infuriated Valeria who felt mocked."Whaa?!.." Before she could retort Eleanor continued,"She once got a gift by a wandering traveler, it was a book about the witches. I love reading a lot so my gran
