“Thank you for delivering this parcel to us. Are you going to take your reward here? Or are you going to take it on the adventurer guild of Floria city?”Said the guild master.“I want to travel light. I’m taking the reward in Floria city.”I responded and took the cup of tea served in front of me. After taking a small sip, my eyes sparkled appreciating how great the tea was.“Oh? Before I go… I want to ask something?”“What is it?”“These past weeks dragons are roaming around attacking the town and cities around Arsland kingdom. Are those dragons from these islands?”“There is only one dragon in this Archipelago and it's the guardian red dragon… The dragon roaming around the Arsland is probably from the dragon mountains… The northern part of the Archipelago is been destroyed already because of the dragon. If this continues, I’m afraid that the whole city will sink like what happened in the eastern islands...”“Is this the first time?”“I feel uneasy… A stranger is interviewing me.”“
“A dream of traveling the whole world… Amazing! Big sister so amazing!”I muttered while flipping the book of adventuring stories. My eyes glimmered in excitement. Seating beside me was my big sister, Gretel.“Yup, the world is big, and dying in one small place is the last thing I wanted to do in my life… I mean imagine wandering in these places… A kingdom of candy, a city on a back of a giant sea turtle, a palace under the sea… Endless snowfields, a city of eternal spring, and many more wonderful places to visit and experience… Plus, a bunch of treasures and wonderful friends to meet.”“A kingdom of candy! I love to visit the kingdom of candy! That means I can eat a lot and lots of candy every day!”“Of course, you can, but be careful you might get a cavity. Losing a tooth will hurt. It will also ruin your cute smile.”“I’ll brush my teeth every day!” I responded.My big sister places her hand on top of my head and gently pats me. Big sister Gretel is strong, pure, and beautiful. She
The pirates who assaulted us were all tied upside down half-naked. Using what they called “The thing” (Long feather). The tickle torture has begun.Staring at their body is a little disgusting through. Especially the captain whose body was covered with thick hair.I have my head averted away a little from them. I only took glances when they spill out the beans. I was amazed at how this torture is going very well. I always thought that torture needs to be violent in some way or another. Captain Hansel just proves that there is a way to avoid violence.Ento proves himself innocent. His in the Sapphire Archipelago on a special quest for investigating the missing dragon eggs. According to their story, seems like Ento find out about their hideout and now Ento was being followed to be killed by these pirates. Candy coral pirates were caught in because the Black pearl pirates thought that Candy coral pirates were working together with Silver scale adventurers.That also explains why he smell
After filling their stomachs, they immediately sail to the mist mountain shore to toss down the pirates who assaulted the Candy coral pirates. Afterward, they go ahead to the island where the hideout was located. Looking at the size of the ship were riding, a surprise attack was impossible. The lookouts from the island shore will definitely see our arrival.“Are you sure about this Hansel?”Ento was a bit nervous about how things are playing out. He is not very comfortable with the plan made. As a Thief class adventurer. Lurking and surprise attack was his specialty, but the plan suggested fighting heads on like a warrior.A very straightforward plan suited for Captain Hansel.“Of course, that’s how a true warrior faces battles. The best plan is to have no plan at all. I’m confident that everyone here is skilled adventurers and my crews are all well trained by myself. Just promise me that we’re all coming back together live to have a party... All drinks are on me.”The captain said wi
After very long years of not seeing each other, the two were reunited. Not a heartwarming reunion. A reunion filled with chaos and anger. It was exactly ten years ago when Captain Hansel lost her big sister Gretel. Gretel was a respectable pirate that helped people in need. She is known and respected in all lands making her name as the prodigy and someday one of the few who will conquer the vast sea. Only a few know, but her goal was out of a fairy tale. Her goal is to find the legendary island of candy. People might laugh hearing her goal in life, but she stays firm and look forward to her dreams with a smile on her face.Strong, courageous, beautiful, and pure. Some of the words that will identify Gretel on who she was. Her sense of justice and making the world a happy place was simply too strong. When she finds the candy island. She wants to make a rain of candy. Riding a dragon they will make it rain candy in the whole kingdom.One day, Gretel return from her expedition to visit h
The bloodbath night ended. At first, Konoha wasn’t able to find the egg on where it was hidden. But Shihoru help her out and used her powerful sense of smell to track down the location of the hidden eggs. It appeared that the egg was buried under the white sand near the shore and not in the cave.During the night lots of people lost their lives. Adventurers and pirates. A miracle does occur when Konoha finds out that non-of her comrade has perished during the battle. As if God used his finger to stir the situation to the good side.Captain Hansel returned back to the ship a little sad, but she won't have a plan in regret. Sad that someone she respected when she was a kid died, and she was satisfied that in her own hands she made her revenge. From her bosom, she took a necklace with a picture of her and her big sister Gretel.Getting the egg won’t solve the entire problem about the dragons yet. The egg found was egg only belong to the red dragon the guardian of the Shappire archipelago
Stella city is an honorable city and one of the oldest cities in world history. While on my way, I do notice the giant towering boulder of rocks. Like pillars, they surrounded the city. These things are said to be made by a goddess.Taking a closer look at the boulder, I could sense nothing from it. Special materials used in making special weapons are supposed to release powerful magic. This one isn’t releasing anything.I thought I could take a piece and create a dagger from it.I walked near the boulder and placed my palm. The stone is cold, the winter has just faded and the spring season is about to start. It doesn’t mean the cold wind has disappeared.“I remember… Shihoru told me that this rock is invincible… I wonder about that.”I made a step back and charged my fist with as much lightning magic as I could. Concentrating it on one point. Until a ball of light covered my entire fist.“Heaven’s Lightning Punch!”Yelled and hit the stone directly.My face turned white and I immedia
The church seems to be on the verge of ruin, but I have no complaints about sleeping in this place. Despite how the church looks, the inside room is fine. The cold night is warmed by plenty of kids who sleep together with me. We are cramped together, but I don’t dislike it.The little girls on both sides are so cute. I have no complaints.Thinking about their situation. I felt like I couldn’t just leave this place without doing anything about the corrupt lord of this city. I could give them a fraction of my money to survive for several months.Who knows what would happen to them when I left? Most of them are kids. There are two sisters, one in her teens and an old woman. The primary source of their income is from donations and their selling their hand-crafted items like artificial flowers and baskets. Sometimes they also go to work, like harvesting and cleaning services.Despite them working hard, the tax is still too high for them. Unable to pay and they would be thrown outside.I’m
