*Lilly*I looked up to check the strength of the vines that I tied between three tree branches.“Is it safe?” I shouted a little, which was clearly unnecessary because Luca could hear me even though if I was whispering it.“I think so, Lilly Love.” He answered. His voice sounded quite far away because the place Adam chose for us was quite high.When we decided to rest, I thought that we would rest near the fire by making a simple tent from the vines around us. However, Adam was against that idea and told us to make a place to rest on top of the tree, just among the high branches."Is it because of the dangerous plants? Those flowers can eat birds." I remember what I saw earlier today, I was so shocked that I think it already traumatized me.Adam was showing me how to make woven from the thick and sturdy tendrils when he glanced at me and I could see him grin.“Oh, those giant flowers? Well… They are the least creatures we fear in this forest. At night, some animals that we don't expe

*Lilly*If I knew that if I cried I would wake up, then I would hold back my tears as hard as possible.I wiped my wet eyes and woke up to this reality. That I was in a cold and dangerous place. The place where the sunlight used to shine warmly, is now so dark. Plants, trees and flowers all looked fresh and radiant. Big and small animals seem to be friendly.Now this place feels scary and danger lurking at all times.The place where my family and my people used to live was scattered the moment they were gone.I don't want to wake up from that beautiful dream. Where I can see Mom and father still very healthy and happy. Everything looked so perfect, before Mira and her troops arrived.It was still dark and my instincts told me that only a few hours had passed since I slept.I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. The only thing that can keep me calm right now was Luca's hand, which was tightly wrapped around my waist. I stir in my sleep and now my back was glued to his chest. So

*Lilly*Our plan here was to find Mira and release the souls that have been trapped because of the spells and rituals she performed. By… killing her of course.After that, we waited while hoping that this place would no longer be a forest that grew wild without a soul.That was the plan.But what we were doing was, wandering in this forest looking for Mira while dealing with animals that had turned into monsters, trying to avoid being swallowed by flesh-eating plants, and many other obstacles that made me shudder even more with horror at the length of my stay here.Until now we have not found Mira. Adam and I felt her aura, Luca even smelled her rotten scent. But every time we followed her scent or dark aura, we found nothing.Just like today. We lost our way to find her.“Love, drink this.” Luca handed over a glass made of wood that had been roughly hewn out but functioned very well.I looked inside it. It’s the same water Luca gave me when we were arrived here. The color was clear,

LILLY“Your Runa?”I twirled, following the blue-eyed Bubble flying around me.“Yeah, how is your mother? It's been a long time since she visited us.” She had this high-pitched voice and it made her sound even more excited. I looked around to see if there were other Bubbles but I didn’t see any.She circled me one more time before she stopped, flew above Adam's head, and sat there casually.I think the Dryads here were really close with the Bubbles. And when I remember it from my dream, Mom seemed to be talking to one of the Bubbles who woke her up.Wait, don't tell me this was the same Bubble in that dream?! That Bubble in my dream seemed to be more clean and plump. But I could see the same Blue eyes in her in this Bubble."I…"“Oh… How rude I am. Greetings everyone, Cyllina, and Adam, and you, very handsome Lycan…” She giggled, covering her mouth. Her pale and sunken cheeks looked flushed, making me chuckle at her natural coquettish behavior.“I'm one of the Bubbles on this beautifu

*Lilly* "I didn't expect you to clean it so well." Luca let me sit on the feather carpet as he approached Adam to help him prepare the fire and our dinner tonight. “I saw you do it a few times, so I tried it.” Adam said casually. I still didn't want to see what they were doing because I felt so sick. I also don't feel like eating meat today. Since when did I become a picky eater? "We have to find Mira immediately, we can't wait any longer. For some reasons, my instincts tell me that she is also preparing herself to attack us," I said to divert my nausea. "You're right. We can start tomorrow. It's safer here than outside. She won't be able to get in.” Adam said. “If we find her, do we just kill her straight away? You said she is in a weak state now...” Adam asked me again. It seemed like they had succeeded in making the fire, I felt warm and could see a bright light came from behind me. I took a deep breath before answering him, “Of course, we can't delay any longer. Kill her, s
