Ashtria just glanced at the two men lying on the ground with their heads beheaded. Her vision started to blur after what happened. She can't take it anymore and slowly closed her eyes and almost fell to the ground, luckily, Lucas was on her side to catch her. He carries Ashtria when she notices she's fallen asleep. He might don't know what really happened but he knows for sure that she did her best, he was hoping he could do something big for her and be a man to save people. Ashtria is strong but for some reason, at every first glance, she seems always looks weak. Tori was now running towards them holding a remote and Lucas' sword. She quickly takes Ashtria's swords as well and they quickly contact Sanya and the others. They all felt relief when everything was fine, they found Dorothy and Kaiden and said that Tom, the one who had the ability to be able to read mind escape from the place and he can no longer be found near the area. They've agreed to meet at the wooden house where it

They've arrived at the misty forest, and they weren't expecting it to be as large as it is. Fortunately, they haven't come across any monsters. They've been walking through the misty forest for a few minutes now, but they still need to be cautious of their surroundings because they don't know when a monster will attack them. Ashtria let the Owl fly away from them and just used the flute that the King gave them to call the owl. The mist added by the dark surroundings creates an eerie atmosphere in the misty forest. Trees were tall and shaded the sunlight; screaming could be heard, but it wasn't too close to their location.Moments later, the three of them notice something running around, which causes them to pause for a moment and take a look at their surroundings. The area is so quiet that only their horses' footsteps can be heard. They look at each other and nod. They quickly let their horses run as fast as they can while avoiding the trees and branches that were in their way.Ashtri

"What do you mean?" Sanya asks him curiously. Drico suddenly appeared from the kitchen and was the one who answered the question. "I'll be honest, the people in this village were all came from the Xenthral Kingdom as well and was able to escape from them as they don't want to come back and play games in order to eat and to have money to pay for their expenses or daily necessities. In this,s village they always sacrifice two women every year for the monster at the lake near the village. The people in this village treat that monster as their god because he was the one that made this village able to live in peace. No monsters who were able to enter the village because of his presence. The villagers were thankful to him because he is their protector," Drico explained to them then continue to speak. "The village was called the mirrorlake village, the origin of its name came from the mirror lake near the village where the god lives. Every year, he will always get out of the lake to find s

They now all decided to go back to Drico's house when the announcement finally finish. Ashtria moves her gaze at her back when she still senses the chief's eyes staring at her. She didn't bother it anymore and continued to walk alongside her friends.They are now inside Drico's house and Sanya immediately goes to the kitchen to continue eating their food. "We're doomed! The chief and the elders already found out what are we going to do!? We're so doomed!" Valdo exclaimed and was giving a worried expression to them."You're so dramatic, it was just a warning. As if they can take us all and beat us immediately. If that was happening now, why don't we tease them even more by going to the lake and investigate it? The sooner the better," Sanya said while eating her leftover soup at the table."Dramatic!? I am not dramatic! I am worried about what will gonna happen next, aren't you worried to get die!?" Valdo shouts and covered his mouth when he realized he was shouting. Drico then immediat

In the morning, Ashtria and Drico were getting ready to go to the lake at 4 in the morning. After getting ready, they decided to get out immediately and told Lucas that they will be leaving now and securing the kids. They were meant for Sanya and Valdo as both of them were the same age."Do you think we can see the lake at this hour, Drico?" she asks him while both of them were running between the woods like thin air. 'I didn't think Drico is also skilled like this,' she thought to herself while looking at Drico.He just smiled without looking and speaks. "Yes, just wait until we get there." Ashtria just shrugged her shoulders and just keep on running while following him.Minutes passed, they were fortunate no one saw them and they even became warier of their surroundings as they thought someone like Raqar is nearby. Drico stops at a big boulder with white and red flowers planted surrounding the boulder. He parted the vines in front of him and Ashtria followed him. Strong pressure was
