The next morning, at breakfast, The Elf noticed the slight swelling and redness of Amorvia and Saiva's eyes. It looks like they have been crying all night but they did not hear the lady cry. But whatever the reason was, they are about to know.
"I have something to tell you all."
Early in the morning and the atmosphere is already heavy in their room. The way Saiva said that in a low tone got them thinking it must be serious!
"Your next goal is to gather the seven orbs. It will not be as easy as rescuing wolves. Even trying to steal one of the orb might kill all of you. And you know death is a restart button or it might be game over. The Angel of Death is mischievous, and if we put this like a game, he is the worst enemy-- the game maker."
"I can snap my fingers and he will open his eyes," Nisemono smirked, enjoying how the expression on her face changes. The war in her mind must be depressing."You harmed him and then you will wake him? Why would you do that?" she questions, eyes squinted at him."Yes, why would I do that? I wonder."No, he does not. That wide grin on his face tells how he can be selfish, destructive and mostly careless with what harm he inflicted. Why is he an Angel? He does not have the attitude of one at all."You know," he flew closer to her, staying in midair. "Let us be friends. Let us get to know one another and I will open his eyes once you get an orb and of course if you agree.""
"So, I see you have decided to accept my offer.""That is the only way I can ever return the favor I owe to the Lost Boy. Don't get too excited.""I'm always excited!" he jump off from a branch, landing perfectly in front of the lady. "Every Friday night, meet me somewhere quiet and we'll get to know each other," he said, backing away with an intimidating smile."Wait!" she grabs his shirt. "I want to know why you are helping me!" It was hard to see him in the eyes so she looked away."Let us just say I regret leaving you with the Lost Boy. You are special to me." One last glimpse and he went further into the woods, leaving Amorivia his back to view.Into the woods, he feels li
The sun was setting when they saw flickers of light just nearby. It could be a small town so they decided to walk up ahead. They weren't wrong, it was really a town full of normal people and they seemed to not be bothered by their presence.To find a place for the night, they asked one of the stalls where they can lodge in. The kind vendor then told them the direction to where the place was but there was a problem. Money. They don't seem to know what money is."Did Saiva told any of you about money?" Amorivia asked. And when they shake their heads side to side, she was not surprised at all. "Okay, money is something you exchange for something.""Oh!" They all nodded, like a student who lies about finally figuring out how the solution ends up finding x because it will take too long for another thorough explanation. She face palm, groaning."Okay, it could be a coin or some kind of paper or something. Maybe we should ask them what theirs look like."
Kitto woke up with a severe headache and the feeling of wanting to throw up so bad. His head dang hurts so much and he groans in dizziness. Slowly, he opened his eyes and see Amrak still sleeping. How did they end up in their room? What happened? All he can remember was going out and meeting a strange man. Some moments after, he hears the door open. Selena and Amorivia came in holding a tray. He waited for Arwha but she never came in. Maybe she was still upset with how he acted the other night at Saiva's. "Why did you two drink so much?" Amorivia asked while assisting him to sit up. "Do you remember what happened?" "No. All I remember was a man telling us how to drink." He didn't know this is how weak he'd get. H
Because of the young men's hangover, they decided to stay another night in that Inn. Good thing their money still made it but it can't make them stay for a third night and they don't want to be behind their days. "You two are a pain, wasting our money to stay another night," Selena glares at the men, putting down the tray she has in her hands. "You're still upset with me?" Amrak asked, avoiding eye contact with the elf. When he hears her giggling, he looked up only to see a fake smile. Oh he knows he was dead when she started reaching her hand to slap slightly his cheek. "I c-can tell you are furious." "Oh! I am so glad you know!" she growled, her eyes wide burning with fire. Amorivia laughed softly hearing the two's c
They reached the city some time after the sun had set. To the least they expected, the city was still full of people. Usually when dusk comes and stars starts to show up, no creature would roam anywhere. But this city was busy. Humans, elves, half-humans, they were all together, harmonizing peacefully.As they go explore the city further, they see fountains and carriage. They did not even know people rides the horse until they had seen one."Wow, are we still in our worlds? The city is still awake like it is morning!" Amrak was sure blown, jaw dropping every now and then when he sees something new to him."Let's check the Atlas if we are close."They opened their Atlas and saw they were steps closer. They followed it and e
"Ano sa... aren't you supposed to be with someone?" he asked her, holding the handles of a wheelchair, starting to push the lady he doesn't know. "Kind of you to do it when I can go up on my own!" He chuckled at how the lady sassed. Obviously, she needed a little push up on this steep street. While pushing they both look up at the stars and thought the sky is awake. And then a shooting star passed by. "Oh! Shooting star!" she yelled, pointing at it. When he looked up, he sees none but the twinkling stars. At the top, he let go of her wheelchair. The lady then thanked him for helping as she makes her way ahead to where he was going to. He did not bother telling
In the middle of the day, they had someone knocking on their door. When they opened, they were surprise to see their enemy. Menna was surprised too, to see the Angel grow much taller, much older? "Oh!" Menna gasped, pointing at Nisemono, eyes wide and sparkling. "You aged!" "Huh?" "You aged!" "I don't remember you." A thought struck Menna real fast as Nisemono enters the room walking pass her and towards Amorivia. She turn around and saw him flying away with the lady. Unable to move, she just stares up above the sky. Oh that... it must be The Angel's doing. It's his new trick. "Tch! How dare he come here every time
