As the red object or creature became more visible, King Ethelwulf's body turned soft, looking like a cocoon that harbored a demon butterfly. The creature was not his father in the first place. When it turns into a pile of skin, then the creature's true form will be seen. A mage with crimson skin with greasy bat wings. His nose was as long as a banana's, with a hideous grin studded with ragged black teeth.
“Why should I be the King of a stupid land, if I can rule the whole world!” he continued hoarsely.
"Who are you!" this time Edmund shouted. The anger and hatred that was so great made him recover his strength.
"I am the strongest, the most powerful, the one like no other." The witch said.
Knowing that the disgusting creature had killed his entire family, Edmund rose with a jolt and lunged at the wizard's body. However, he just walked past her and fell to the floor. The wizard giggled mockingly, a laugh so sinister that it completely shattered
One day had passed since Wiggy's army had gathered in the Northern Territory. Harold was quick to recover, quick to adapt too. The man helped the Elves a lot in making hundreds of tents, as well as various other necessities for living in the forest, considering that there were so many Dwarves and Fauns. The Southern Kingdom did not fuss all day so that they could carry out all activities in peace.Night comes quickly when time is spent having fun. It was now a full moon, the light of the night goddess shone on the earth brighter than usual, but believe it or not, it was still outclassed by the creatures of the Northern Territory. Mushrooms lit up, the light from the bodies of the Pixies, and the Faun's horns glowed with colors. Everyone gathered in the open space where Wiggy used to play or practice swordsmanship, accompanied by a bonfire and some roasted sweet potatoes.Actually not all of them. Phillip, Lillian, and their father said goodbye to bed early. Wiggy allow
Days passed into weeks, then months, but the awaited wedding never took place. Some Falsies started to forget their purpose of coming to the Northern Territory. In truth, the dwarf Northern Falsies couldn't remember so many things. What's more, the flaming mushrooms are not healthy, their light is dim, occasionally turning off and on making the eyes hurt. The flying bats crashed into everything around as if they weren't nocturnal animals at all.Meanwhile Wiggy, Louise, and Otho met almost every night. Make lots of backup plans in case the master plan doesn't work. Now and then, a swarm of Pixies was sent to the Southern Kingdom to monitor the situation, only to bring back empty news. Until one day everyone was tired of waiting. It's been ten nights no meeting including today. The residents of the Northern Territory ate dinner as usual, then went about their
Louise was supposed to lead the Falsies in the guerrilla, but instead, she had to be guided. Apart from the Elves and Dwarves who were good at camouflage, Louise—like any other knight—was used to facing opponents face to face. Plus her large and inflexible body makes it even more difficult to jump over swamp stones or dodge branches without making noise.Louise's crowd was still intact until they arrived at the Eastern castle, a towering solid stone fortress that was dully filled with thorns and dense trees. The girl immediately looked for the stone arrangement that Wiggy had previously shown at the meeting.As planned, Louise pressed a loose rock until it protruded inward, then opened a small gap in the fort. Louise immediately entered followed by the Falsies after. Darkness greeted, some Pixies gave off a dim light, the weakening of the m
Lillian checked all the various medicinal herbs in the backpack, all of which had been prepared since two months ago. While the others were busy practicing their war skills, the girl finally accepted the title of healer gracefully. Whatever makes her useful she will pursue. Just in case, The Twinster hung from either side of her hips. The girl returned to face the main gate of Edmund castle.Not knowing how many hours they had spent hiding in a crevice of a former swamp covered by a giant tree trunk across, peeking like foxes. The Elves and Dwarves in the back waited seriously, silently, without movement, not even the sound of breathing. Lillian is flanked by Phillip on the left and her father on the right. Since then, Lillian had been the only one moving around a lot, occasionally checking things out, looking up at the sky, and most often opening and closing her medical bag."Daddy, what time is it?" It was Lillian's seventh question while waiting.The red-hair
Tears continued to roll down Lillian's cheeks as her hands deftly applied various medicinal herbs to Wiggy's body. They were in the trunk of a giant pine tree where Lillian had evacuated the Elves. Wiggy was lying on a thin sheet of leaves wearing only short cloth pants. The young man's body was covered in dark blue patches, carvings like electric shocks were visible from the neck to the left side of his chin.Lillian traced Wiggy's butterfly wings which now looked more like tattered rags, and that made her cry even more pitiful. Lillian poured the bottle of healing potion into Wiggy's mouth a second time. After that, he refreshed the young man's murky blonde hair, feeling his hot body as well as his short, irregular breaths.“You are fine… you will be fine!” Lillian muttered with trembling lips. Her hand moved to embrace Wiggy's arm, her eyes closed as her mouth kept muttering, “Don't worry, you'll be fine. You'll be safe."The pixies t
Wiggy and Lillian mourned the giant pine tree engulfed in purple flames in silence. Luckily they had evacuated the injured Elf and Dwarf back a few moments before to a damp field covered with thick bushes and tall weeds. Wiggy slammed down his iron helmet, crouched down while ruffling his hair. Angry at himself for being unable to do anything, also grieving for the Gnomes who died when the young man intended to revoke their exile and give them a second chance. Lillian didn't know what to do, but she couldn't just stand by looking at Wiggy like that. She knelt beside the young man and hugged him.“My condolences to the Gnomes.”Wiggy returned the hug tightly, though his facial expression didn't change. Then the youth pulled Lillian to her feet. “We have to quickly catch up with the others. You don't stay away from me, okay!"Lillian desperately wanted to say that Wiggy didn't have to worry about her, but the young man had to nod her way through
Finding Edmund in the melee of war is not difficult. The blonde man rode a giant Ogre who knew exactly where the king wanted to go. Several times the green creature complained of pain from the attacks of the knights, trying to retaliate with a giant gadha blow or Edmund's silver sword that pierced the cavity in the iron helmet, then knocked the knights into a pile of smoking cans. Wiggy on the other hand was ready with his golden sword, as soon as the iron helmet hood was attached he spun Vesta's leash—the name that had just been given to the horse.The light brown horse with white accents on all four legs wasn't as big or bold as LJ's, but his running and dodging were agile, almost like Wiggy when his butterfly wings were healthy. The armored youth in a short green robe blended in among the other knights, as much as possible so that neither Edmund nor his mounted Ogre would notice. When the green creature turned around, Wiggy also swerved and returned behind him. And s
The clatter of horseshoes one after another filled the void of the night, the moon faithfully following their journey even without light. Miranda, up there was still flapping with Edmund in her arms. The lush trees began to dwindle, replaced by a stretch of cliffs. Some are very tall, but some are just piles of flat stones. The three horses climbed the small hills that also dominated the land in the area.Their journey just ended when Miranda decided to stop at one of the high cliffs and immediately shrunk her bat wings. The woman gasped for air, her body turned completely red and covered in wattles. The sorceress tried to hide her surprise when she turned around to find her enemies still following her. He tucked his hair behind his ear, cleared his throat with his trademark smile.“You guys are just in time to witness our wedding! After my full strength is restored, it is you who have the honor of tasting it first!”“There is no reason to end
