Forest fairies were beings that were birthed by nature. Unlike the Tree Deity of the North who only managed to ascend and gain sentience through the unceasing faith energy gotten from his worshippers in that mountain, forest fairies were Anitos since birth. They did not need to be nourished by the wishes and prayers of mortals to ascend. The reason for this was that they were originally from the second layer. The forests there had trees and flowers that had collected divine energy from nature for thousands of years. Sometimes, these plants and trees had the luck to be graced by the presence of Skyworld deities managing the area. Due to this, the forest fairies that emerged from them became arrogant and began to believe that on Earth, there were no other superior race other than theirs. Forest fairies believed that they were created by the high gods.
Of course, even though this race was arrogant, they were not stupid. Passed down from their ancestors was the k
Ley was not really in the second layer since he was still in his own dimension, the one only he could access and create through his ability.It was just that the sight of more than a hundred forest fairies surrounding him made him nervous for quite a while, which could not be helped given that he was all alone there. Add to this the fact that the forest fairies here seemed as strong as that lady forest fairy that attacked him, if not stronger. The feeling of intimidation came from being inferior to them both in strength and number.Ley had to take a few careful deep breaths in order to calm his heart that began to beat madly.'It's okay. Forest fairies have affinities to nature, but my dimension is completely lifeless. Only actual skyworld gods should be able to get here.'He told himself. He did this over ten times, and thankfully, the self-brainwashing showed some effects.After a minute or so, he then paused his breathing for a
"You are injured?"A child's voice echoed in that place. Trees were ever present. But thankfully, the ones nearby were not one housing a few forest fairies. When Ley briefly checked the surroundings, there was only one forest fairy near him which was a little girl whose eyes gleamed of both curiosity and puzzlement as she gazed at him. She was wearing a skirt made of leaves and flowers while her long hair covered her front.Ley stepped back.'We're far, right... This girl would not suddenly shout to call for others, right?'The bead of sweat that ran down from his forehead to the left side of his chin was not only due to pain, but also due to the anxiousness that suddenly struck him.The little female forest fairy noticed it. Tilting her head, she roamed her gaze, passing along the row of fairy houses that were off to the distance.She then walked with her short and slim legs. When his vision turned a bit
The name of the child forest fairy who later brought an unconscious Ley to her abode was Ajalina. She was just one of the many regular citizens of this place. Judging from her stature that was shorter and skinnier than others, it was obvious that she was still a kid. Only a kid amongst her race would possess such curiosity towards an outsider since had it been any other, they would have pounced on the opportunity to slay an injured deity in order to advance their abilities.Her fellow race members called her Little Aja since her name was long for them. The adults nearby her house treasured her quite a lot as she was pretty talented in both alchemy and poison-making. The house that she occupied now was made and decorated by those who adored her. In their race, there was no concept of a parent-child relationship as every forest fairy was birthed by nature. However, it seemed that Little Aja was being one of the very few exceptions.But maybe this was not a fa
...While Ley was having one of the most nerve-wracking time of his life from realizing that he was now truly surrounded, the one on the island had been in a lethargic mood ever since he was left to defend it by himself.Fernando was like Ley in a sense that he did not really warm up fast to the two kids. Old age made him more carefree, yet also cautious. The jolly attitude he put on was just a facade. He was not stupid to not know that something was amiss with Ley because in a nutshell, Hana and him would not become Anitos if not for being with him when the attack on the Underworld happened.However, he was quicker than Ley to treat the Hevel house as his new family. Maybe because, he was really old, and he wanted people to care for him and talk to him, something that his actual family, the one he left behind in the mortal world, would no longer be able to provide.'Ley, Hana, and the others are not bad to be with. I also instantly became one
The gathering hosted by the Anito of the Blood turned into a huge joke. However, it did save a lot of unknowing, low-level deities from being sacrificed to a Devil by that said Anito.And the Tree Deity, as a fairly 'newly born' Anito, was one such example. It was said a 'newly born' Anito since although his age was around seventy years old, by a deity's standard, he was but a kid. Ley and Fernando belonged to the same category, albeit, they were much younger, akin to a toddler still learning how to walk.The meet-up request letter that Fernando sent to that Tree Deity was met with refusal.He had no idea whether the other party only refused to make a trip to the island or to see him altogether."Why did he reject? Did he mention any reason?" Baffled, the old man questioned his eagle with widely opened eyes and furrowed forehead.A cry came out of the eagle's mouth, communicating to him that nothing was said. The rest of the w
In the distant land that was not located in the surface layer."What a shame."A man radiating red glow from his body looked over as his palace got destroyed and ransacked by numerous soldiers. He was located high up, but far from the place. His voice that sounded both disappointed and disheartened echoed softly in the air.Clouds billowed like smoke around him, turning grey, as if to reflect his mood.Clicking his tongue, he looked up to the horizon and took note of the beautiful full moon there."Who would have thought somebody would mess up the ritual."The moon.It was really enchanting and capable of calming one's mind.Sadly for him who knew who that celestial thing up there symbolized, it was an omen of disaster and misfortune. Like, why else would a divinity holding a war-related authority visit him?It was the same image as the symbols found on the clothing of the soldie
Ley was initially saved by one of the rare kind members of the forest fairy race. Unfortunately, this forest fairy was very naive and innocent. Even though she did not have any prejudice or malice against Ley, she was also not one to reject the visitations of her fellow race members, leading to the current situation.One of the forest fairies that visited Little Aja was a soldier.What else would a soldier do upon discovering a trespasser?"He's an Anito of the Human race." Back then, Duro, the forest fairy soldier whose green limbs were littered with oddly-patterned tattoos spoke with a grim tone. The person did not even mutter to himself or question Ajalina where she found the young lad. He decisively spat out, "An intruder. Bring him to the princess."At that time, thanks to the kind little forest fairy's miraculous medication, Ley was able to wake up sooner than one would have expect.ed Although he remained lying there with his
It had been a very mentally taxing situation for Ley.The princess had caught his presence in the realm of forest fairies. There were other soldiers around and they too, didn't look favorably at him since it was very obvious that he but a trespasser. Thankfully, there was somebody nice amongst the green bunch. Sadly, she was only a kid and from humble birth too.Ley had no one to help him.And the worst thing of all, even though he had enough divine energy to open a path, it was not enough to create a road in his exclusive dimension!"F*ck." The word just escaped from him.'What's with this situation?''I can open a door. But so what if there's no road available for me to escape to?'Ley's face almost turned purple from both fright and dismay.He realized this after throwing a bottle of weird concoction to the princess, the item a property of course of Little Aja, him not knowing what its effect we
