《Finding The Heart of Magic》全部章節：第 31 章 - 第 37 章

EdithWe reach the edge of the forest very quickly. Knight Ballyan approaches me and tells me:"It's time to let go of the horses, my princess.""Okay," I answer, and Ballyan gives the order to the other knights.We dismounted from the horses, and the soldiers who had followed us took the horses' reins and, with a simple "Good Luck," took the road back to the castle.We watch them walk away for a while, but when the dust raised by the horse's clattering of feet and drowns us causing us a cough, we decide to move on.We begin to enter the forest, and the drop in temperature is quickly felt. The vegetation is dense. Gigantic trees with massive, thick trunks and low and tall shrubs cover almost all the ground. Somewhere we find some flowers with huge blossoms. This is the first time I see such flowers. They have lovely bright colors and a delectable scent.I gape for a moment at this incredible beauty of theirs when, at some point, a large insect comes and sits on the bloom to feed itself

I feel beads of sweat run down my spine and collect in the dimple at the base of my waist."Did you feel that?" I ask the knights wanting to know their thoughts on what had just happened. Maybe there is some logical explanation. Perhaps it's a unique phenomenon in this magical forest that I don't know about.I wish to be."Yes," Brian answers."What is it?"

My lungs are starting to burn so much that it hurts like knives are being stabbed into my chest. My legs are shaking, barely obeying me. They beg me to let them collapse, but my mind refuses. One more step. Just one more. Then another. Please continue.My heartbeat is screaming inside my head and deep in my throat. A branch tears my arm, but I barely notice the pain.The landscape before me is blurry. Shapes swirl in the corners of my eyes, shifting like ghosts, like the evil spirits that are chasing us. Their creeping follows us, sending shivers down my spine.Only at the last moment do the blurred shapes take on their standard form. An invisible shape now approaches me, and as its image clears, I recognize it as a tree. I don't have time to avoid it. My shoulder scrapes against the rough bark.
