“Riri, I’m sorry it took me long to come back…… who are you people? Get away from her!” we all turn to see Lana running towards us holding a sword on her hand as she drops a basket full of fruits.It made me wonder where she might take that sword from but remembering that she is a magical creature, I just sigh in relief.“Step away from her!” Lana said pointing the sword towards them.“Lana easy, I’m okay they didn’t hurt me or anything.” I said as Lana walk towards my side making the three slowly walk back with their hand up in submission.“Oh yah! Then why are you naked?” she said with her eyebrows up making my face redden as the thought of what happened came back to me then I tightly grasp my folded clothes and towel on my chest that the lady named Flora handed me a while ago.“No I’m not, I WAS…… but they lend me this.... thingy.” I said with burning face.Lana look at the 3 with a suspecting gaze before putting the sword she is pointing at them down to her side. The look in her fa

Morning comes and we all prepare to depart. Lana fixes some foods in a basket and something we can use in a big bag she carries on her back. I also insisted to carry the shoulder bag made of leader where Lana put something she said I can use in time of trouble that she embedded with her magic. I don’t know what she means but I just carried the bag nonetheless. “Don’t forget this.” Lana said wrapping a greenish shawl on my shoulders with this weird emblem that when Vlashmere sees it his eyes widen then he seems to freeze but after a while he returns to his usual cold and mysterious aura, turning back to his invisible like presence.“Shall we get going so we can arrive to the town of Sallis by tomorrow noon?” Flora said as they look at us checking if we are ready to leave.“The early the better, we need to be very careful. Monsters and beast lurks this area and the rest of the way we will travel to.” Leo said making me look at Lana and to them with a fright in my eyes.“Mo- Monsters? Be

Lana keeps on looking at me as we walk into this grassy trail. She must be figuring out why I suddenly paled and became sad all of a sudden. I keep on avoiding making eye contact with Vlash as much as possible. He makes me remember the pain I felt when Jemar broke my heart, the only reason why I am here in the first place and still decided to stay even how dangerous it may seem. Not just that but he gives me this weird visions every time our eyes meet making me feel so weak. I wanted to ask Lana about that so badly but I chose to stay silent and keep it all to myself hoping that it is just because I found Vlash to be mysterious and puzzling. He also seems to be getting out of my way and always staying behind us quietly. It is also making this big ice between us as we continue avoiding each other.“Riri what’s wrong, you know I’m connected to you right? I know you are sad so, what happened?” Lana said taking my attention and I deeply sigh.“No-nothing much, I-I just remembered what happ

When I slowly open my eyes, I hear some chirping of birds and some voices of people sounding like when you are in a busy restaurant with the clinking of the plates. When my eyesight hit the light I immediately close it again since the light is like giving me a headache.“It- It’s too bright.” I utter softly and after a few seconds I slowly open it again until my eyes get accustomed to the bright light. I look around to see myself in an old room with wooded walls. I can hear clicking sounds and voices below so it only means that I am in a second floor or so, by the sound coming from below it seems like I can hear some men scowling to another. I slowly slide of the bed but immediately retract it up when my bare feet touches the cold wooden floor.“What on earth is going on? Where am I… and what have happened to me? What happen to.... me?” I said but ended up feeling this sudden chill that crawl up to my body, that is where I suddenly remember what happened to me. My wounds, the blood an

Leo looks at me then he sigh and rubs the back of his head. He closes his eyes as if he is recalling some painful memories. He leans on the wooden wall and then looks at the floor as he crosses his arms on his chest.“Wei and I used to be friends since we were young. His father and my father are used to be friends so we grew up together and trained together. But.... because of my father, Wei lost his family and the honor of their father; he is the only one who survived but still running away from my father. Wei became our greatest enemy and he vowed to destroy my father. We became enemies since his group always attacks my father’s traveling mercenaries.” Leo said and I feel so sad about what happen to Wei’s family but I don’t think Leo is at fault.“O- Oh I see, didn’t you... like explain to him that it all was a misunderstanding?” I ask as I look at him.“What is the difference… he lost his family. He has the right to be angry and… I am also ashamed and confused. The truth about his f
