Harold's eyes widened when he saw his two children running over. The man spontaneously dropped the ax in his hand and rubbed his eyes to make sure. His tired face was radiant, his eyes sparkled as he smiled very broadly, then stretched out his arms to hug his two children until they almost fell to his knees.
"You guys back! Oh, thank goodness you came home! I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry. I shouldn't have left you there, what a fool dad I am." Harold continued to chatter in the hug.
Phillip and Lillian were too glad to answer, it was clear that their father had no intention of kicking them out. He loved them and always will be. Both of them burst into tears. Yes, both of them. Phillip hated to admit it, as a big brother he didn't want to look whiny, but after they had been through a lot, he missed his father so much that he didn't care about anything else. Harold let go of his hug to stare at his children's faces.
“From now on you won't be anywhere, no matter
Far enough for the Grace siblings to walk into the forest, Phillip is still holding onto his sister who was silent all the way. They didn't know where to go, Phillip had intended to meet Wiggy in the Northern Territory, but unfortunately, he didn't remember the way. Phillip only remembered the direction of the cliff where they first landed, again Lillian made the right decisions to walk and made a trail rather than flying. With the help of these traces, he led his sister to the cliff, maybe they could reunite with Wiggy. They reached the top of the cliff after teetering uphill. Lillian preceded her brother, leaning against the tree trunk, the ground where they had fallen dragged on was still visible. Phillip followed his sister who was cupping her face on her knees. "Don't worry, Lill, we will back, I'll figure out how. Meanwhile, we stay in this forest and make plans." Phillip's eyes stared straight ahead. The sun was about to set, it is slow-motion bringing all the
Along the way, Wiggy talked about how he met the Northern Falsies, built a place to live together, even told the bad habits of his most insignificant people. Sometimes he laughed at his jokes and nudged Phillip to join in the laugh, although the young man mostly responded with sighs, or rolled his eyes. In contrast to his sister who is always enthusiastic about whatever Wiggy says. For Lillian, Wiggy is a funny young man, reminding her of a friend she never had.“You know, my Pixie can show direction. If they went somewhere, they would never forget the route, they were like a flying map that gave off light. That's why I can walk around the forest without getting lost.” Wiggy keeps on babbling. “One little secret that would have pissed off my cousin if he found out. I can never read star clusters. I mean, what is there to see from the tiny dots in the sky? It was ridiculous, and it made my neck stiff from looking up too long. So, the Pixies are always by my s
The Warehouse room's door suddenly opened roughly. Wiggy and Phillip swiftly pull their swords, but what comes out of there is just a bunch of female Elves. The number of female Elves was very small, maybe less than twenty, and they had never been taught to use weapons, there was nothing they could do but hide. The female Elves immediately approached their Leader and scrambled to hug him while crying complaining about what had happened."Thank goodness you all survived. Are you all right? Is anyone hurt?" asked Wiggy, examining their bodies one by one.Phillip was amazed. It was also revealed why Wiggy was so idolized even though the young man was annoying to death. Well, only Phillip found Wiggy annoying so far."What's going on here?" Wiggy repeated his question.The Elves began to tell stories, but neither Wiggy nor Phillip understood what they were saying. Although a little, their voices were so loud, they sounded more like swarms of mosquitoes in sum
The Gnomes march up the hill with lanterns made of fireflies. Among the many Gnomes lined up irregularly, six Ogres raised a large throne of Edmund the King of the South, as well as a Troll at his side. No need to wonder how Edmund got the Gnomes to serve him. Gnomes are potential creatures who are not very intelligent. They get very upset when they don't have a leader.When Edmund came along with the monstrous creatures who bowed to him, with a majestic golden crown perched on his head. Without any pressure, the Gnomes were already prostrate at Edmund's feet. They promised to serve and do whatever he ordered, including the ritual of spiritual awakening. So they flocked to the knights' Hill in the full moonlight. Do not forget to bring all the equipment for séances such as wide-tufted hats, copper incense, and charcoal descendants of the Gnome ancestors who are 3000 years old.Arriving at the top of the hill, they immediately made a big circle. Edmund and the Og
"Edmund, you are still as handsome as the first time we met," said the woman with a flirtatious tone. "Even you got taller."Edmund frowned. "Who are you?"“You don't recognize me? Oh, how rude!"The woman budge, suddenly her white skin turned red with wrinkles, her nose stretched and bent like a rotten banana, her purple bead gleaming even more in the moonlight. Edmund was surprised, suddenly took a few steps back.“Georgina! What do you want?"“Hush ... Georgina was my name 100 years ago. For now, my name changed to Miranda. Besides, your attitude should be more polite to someone who has made you a Falsie."Edmund squinted. "I don't want to know what your name is. Just tell me why are you coming to me again?"“You don't even want to hug me first? It's been a while since the South-North raid we haven't played together, right?”For the answer, Edmund gripped the hilt of his sword. Threatening.
On the night after Edwig's coronation as crown prince, the kingdom feasted, praising how handsome and charismatic their future king was. The people rejoiced, making him the star of the event, even though the crown prince himself did not feel the same joy. Edwig looked around for his brother who didn't show up, then let out a disappointed sigh. His brain was filled with Edmund's vision throughout the event. How that young man screamed, kicked the vessel, and the worst was his hateful gaze. Imagine that gaze would be there forever was truly terrifying.On the other hand, the same thing was felt by Edmund, only slightly different. The image of his brother who would later become King could not disappear from Edmund's head. He didn't even want to be in the palace which he thought was treasonous. That night the prince fled to be alone in his secret place — a small gap in a giant oak tree in the middle of the forest — for the first time, Edmund cried as he had never crie
Turning North, far away from where the Gnomes were performing the rituals, Wiggy was busy writing letters. So hurried that the writing looks more like a tangled thread. Lillian offered to help, the girl could write fast, and of course much tidier. After a day of clean up the ruined palace together, a potluck dinner of wild tubers, finally the triad had free time to write the letters. Wiggy folded all the letters carelessly, then put them in an envelope glued with red wax."What are we going to do with the letters?" asked Lillian."We will send it to my other people." Wiggy pulled out a flute, played several notes. As usual, a large number of Pixies gathered immediately, buzzing awaiting orders.Phillip helped clear the stationery off the table. "You mean the dwarf?""Also the fauns." Wiggy handed one letter each to the Pixie gang of about five or six, then ordered them to deliver the letters immediately. "If war really broke out, we would need a lot of tr
The sun was rising from the East, lightening the North where conditions were much better, although scorched stains were still visible on most of the treehouses, likely to be permanent. The triumvirate looks ready to continue its journey. After yesterday's tiring day, the three of them slept soundly no matter what the base was, even Phillip felt his wooden bed as a mattress with the best quality cotton. For the first time, they wake up early feeling fit and fresh. The three of them prepared themselves, wearing knit hats and thick scarves, both of which were brown. Lillian now has two scabbards stuck on the left and right sides of her hips. Wiggy approached the female Elves who sent them off.“Please fix this place, when the others wake up, immediately tell them to prepare. I have called all the Northern people to come here, we will need a lot of room and food.” The female Elves nodded, then saluted briefly. "I'm sure I can count on you. And remember, don't mess wit
