Lana looks at me as she drinks her tea while Flora is talking with Leo. I glance at them and seeing their happy faces I immediately look away after feeling this certain sting in my heart. I then look around the room to see Vlash silently glancing at Flora then looking away towards the window. I got this feeling that Vlash is also in love with Flora…… how complicated is that?“So… Riri you made other friends? That is truly amazing and worrying at the same time. I am just glad you are fine now.” Lana said making me look at her.“A-ah yes, the adventurers are quite nice I thought they are like those bunch of men who don’t give respect to a woman but it appears that they are nice despite their scary looks. I don’t like how they all look at me though.... I hate too much attention being on me.” I said as I take my cup of tea as Lana look at me with a smile.Lana and the others return after a few hours when Leo and I return to the room. When I speak to Lana she explained me many things. One i

“Lana what- what is that?” I utter in shock and I look behind me when I heard the door of the hot spring opens revealing Vlash holding his sword looking so alarmed then a vast of fog covers him.“Ri-Riri, are you okay in there? What is happening?” Vlash said as he tries to wave off the steam fogs using his hand.“I’ll go for now, Vlash can look after you.” Lana’s voice said.I Look at Lana and I watch as she return to her fairy form and then wave at me then she flies away.“Riri?” I heard Vlash’s voice again as I see his shadow figure walking towards me.I look at the fence that broke nearer to where I am to see a shadow of an animal or whatever that is trying to widen the space and get inside the hot spring.“Vlash I am here. Something is in the fence trying to get in!” I shouted as I see Vlash coming towards me.He immediately takes off his robe and slides it into my back as I rise out of the edge of the hot spring. He immediately blocks me when we heard another bang followed by a gr

“Riri, where- where did you get that dagger? I never saw you with that before?” I look up to see Flora and see her standing in front of me as I sat on the bed wiping the dagger’s blade with a white satin cloth.“U-Uhmnnn it was given to me as a gift by our kind host Sir Hulio. I met him on his store when I got separated with everyone a little while ago.” I said as I look at the mysterious dagger in my hand.“That seems to be a magical dagger. Be careful when using magical weapons. They tend to go against their wielder when their magic isn’t controlled really well.” Flora said making me look at the dagger.“I think it is okay for her to have that. She can use it to defend herself. Riri don’t need to control that weapon’s magic since it seems that the weapon has chosen her.” Lana said making me look at her.“It’s a little baffling that a magical weapon choses her. It’s so rare when a magical weapon choses someone who is none magic user as their owner. I guess you are right; we can’t let

“We have no time left. Ask for their help to defend the town and rid of those Lebron soldiers out.” Lana said making me look at her then to the mystical creatures in front of me.“Ahmnnn forgive us for calling you all in a time like this. But, if it isn’t against your well, can you help us rid of those Lebron soldiers out of the town? It will be a great help if you are willing to help us.” I said as I look at all of these creatures before me.“We will aid you in any way we can. We have been into hiding for a quite long time. This is the only moment we have been called after long years.” The voice said as they all bow their heads towards me taking me off guard.“To what I see, they must have agreed. We must begin then before it’s too late.” Lana said and I nod as I turn to face the door.“Thank you, we will never forget this. I promise we will repay you in any way we can.” I said as I look at them.“No.... thank you, child from the normal world. We feel needed again after long years of

“Our friends, I think it is best if you leave this work of rebuilding the town to us. Continue your journey, might as will check if that rumor is true, which I pray that it is not to be true.” The chief said as we all look at one another.After that we decided to continue our journey towards the kingdom of Eurie. I can see the worry and confusion into Leo’s face as we pack our things back at Sir Hulio’s place.“Are… are we all ready to continue our journey?” Flora asks looking at us from behind them.“Forgive us if we must haste back home... we thought we can look around the town but the hunter’s news made me worried.” Leo said apologetic to us.“Don’t mind us Leo, we are fine. If what the hunter said is true we must go and see what is going on.” I said as I look at him and smile but immediately look away seeing Flora is coming towards us.“Are we set to go?” Flora said as she stops beside Leo who smiles at her lovingly and I feel my heart aches that made me want to punch it in annoyan
