“Please…don’t leave me here all alone, Snow…” Two tears trickled down Nimym's cheeks, dripped, and landed on the large feather lying on the ground. The drops sprinkled. That pale blue feather was the only remaining memento of her family and friends. Snow, the only friend and partner she’d known for many months. Just a few minutes ago, Snow had died, bravely protecting her master. The monster’s weapon had delivered the final blow, and Snow had given a single, lonely cry, then shattered like ice. Just one long feather remained, the feather she so cheerily flapped whenever called. … Nimym was a spirit arts user. A class not often seen in this world. Spirit art users specialize in manipulating spirits and spirit energy. They make bonds with the spirit and be friends with them. It sounds easy, but being one is very hard. To be a spirit art user, some requirements need to be met. The spirit user must have no mLenny in his/her heart. This first condition alone was almost impossible to so
“I’m sorry.” The light brown-haired girl said again. Ninym desperately blinked back tears and shook her head. “…No…It’s my fault…I was stupid. Thank you…for saving me…” She had to squeeze out the words between stifled sobs. The girl slowly approached, knelt before Ninym, and spoke hesitantly. “That small feather dragon… Is not a monster, right?” Ninym nodded and replied: “My friend was a spirit.” “It's not too late… there is still a way to save your friend.” She wiped her tears away and got confused about what Konoha had just said. Living things that have died won’t be coming back. It is true, but that law is not applied to everything in this world. For example, was spirit life. Spirits are creatures that will have the ability to live in a thousand years. They could still die, just like what happened to Snow. But there is a way to revive your spirits. And that path is something Konoha wanted to present to Ninym. “There is a possibility that we can revive her using the spiri
In the middle part of Freiven city, there was one big restaurant. Konoha entered together with Ninym. Surprised, Konoha was greeted by someone. “Konoha! Here I have already got our table reserved for us.” Waving her hand, it was the little girl called Shaymi. After hearing her call, Konoha, together with Ninym, walked toward the table and sat down beside each other. Ninym looked at Shaymi. Shaymi immediately got an impression of Shaymi being Konoha’s little sister. But on second thought, she was calling Konoha by her name and not calling her big sister. “Who is this girl?” Asked Shaymi. “She’s a new friend, I discovered earlier.” “I was discovered?! I felt like I was compared to some kind of monster or animal…” Ninym turned and glanced at Shaymi. “My name is Ninym, nice to meet you… Are you Konoha’s little sister?” “Nope, I’m not… Konoha is like my traveling partner. There is no place for me to go anymore. That’s why I’m traveling with Konoha.” Having no place to live or place
Before the sunrise. Konoha, together with Shaymi and Ninym, immediately goes toward the train station. They got their tickets immediately and rode the long train. It was Shaymi’s first time riding a train and it excited her. Her pupils beam in light and her body is giggling. She thought that this long mechanical vehicle was some sort of dragon told in ancient books. Ever since Konoha and Shaymi started their adventure together they have always been riding carriages, but mostly they are both walking on foot. From one town to the next. It was horrible for a little girl to walk long distances. But it is something that is already explained to Shaymi. Shaymi doesn’t have any complaints since Hanyuki is the one protecting her and giving her food. Excited but still sleepy, the two girls, Shaymi and Ninym, end up sleeping in their seats waiting for the train to reach their destination. Konoha, meanwhile, decides to stay vigilant and focus on her. Last night, the adventurer eavesdropping o
After the defeat of the Luster Dragon. An altar appeared in the middle of the boss's room. Konoha gestured her hand toward the altar and grinned. Her smile was like saying that the grief of losing a friend is finally over. Ninym was overjoyed and immediately walked to the altar. The altar glows in brilliant blinding light for a few seconds. The light formed a small gem with all imaginable glowing inside of it. “So pretty.” “The spirit gem will only appear to the spirit user with a great bond with her spirit friend.” Holding with both of her hands. Ninym's tears drop on the gem. “I can see my friend again… Thank you so much Konoha.” “I’m happy that I could help. Too bad we can’t revive her inside this cave. The spirited game has a condition on item activation. It needs to be nighttime to activate the gem.” Tears were still in her eyes. Ninym wiped it with her arms. Smiling while looking at the spirit gem. Before the luster dragon reproaches again. They made their way out of the
After the ambush, Konoha immediately calls the knights and hands over the band of thieves she had just caught. The knights are delighted by Konoha’s assistance in capturing the wanted woman. Leaving plenty of rewards for Konoha. Without hesitation, she took the money and waved her hands. The day was over and they were all returning to the Inn. Inside the room, Konoha finds the perfect opportunity to have a conversation with Ninym. “Sorry… Our meeting wasn’t an accident. I’ve been tailing the woman named Rosa this entire time… I’m looking for proof if she is truly the leader of the Raven thieves. Finding a perfect opportunity to capture her.” Ninym listened carefully to the apologetic Konoha. She shook her head and took a glance into Konoha’s eyes. No hint of anger or negative emotion was found in her. A nice smile was presented. “I understand… That means Konoha was there when I got into a fight with Rosa. Konoha was tailing Rosa. Then, I got worried about the girl who suddenly left
Wandering in a beautiful city which I don’t know. The buildings are all colorful and the scenery is very refreReng. Why I don’t know you asked? Well, that is because I simply just arrive here. The world is big you know it's not that I know every city in the world. Seating in a cafe, I have my note and pen with me. Writing down the memorable events that happened in my journey. This note is my journal... Nope, I want to call it “Travelogue”. Two years have passed since I decided to go on my own. With all my travels alone, I’m glad that nothing bad has happened to me. If it does, I’m sure I’m able to overcome such obstacles. “Miss, do you already decide the meal you're having?” The waitress approaches me. “I would like I fried chicken meal… But I can’t find any it's weird.” “Sorry, we don’t have fried chicken meal.” “That’s weird! It's delicious!” “I think it's weirder if we sell fried chicken meal this early in the morning. Besides we are a cafe, not a restaurant.” What's the di
Eula and I go to the slums. “I don’t have it anymore.” The tailed thief muttered. Eula grabbed her cloth and lifted her. “What do you mean by not having anymore.” “I was hired to stole it, Someone comes to buy it.” “Who hired you?” “I don’t have an idea… She gives me lots of money. With this, I and my siblings can get out of this place. We can live a normal life.” “I can see your dire situation, but that key is important to me.” Eula with anger keep on shaking the thief girl until she felt satisfied. Eula’s face was still raging on anger. “All I know is her appearance. She has long black-haired and has red eyes. She wears a black cloak with a star symbol.” “Star symbol… That means they are going after me. It's irritating!” Eula said and punch the nearby tree beside her. With her strength, the tree goes down. Looks like she can save herself earlier. I was skeptical looking at her. Eula with a fierce look on her face turned toward us. Facing the tailed girl and me. “I hav
