A fresh breeze surrounded them from the moment Ian called out to his familiars. The boring, monotonous mood disappeared and was replaced with a happy and jolly atmosphere. As Ian looked at the three kids hugging and petting his familiars, a smile automatically appeared in his lips. Even the ones that had never seen them before, like Rick and his guards, had their guards down and were looking at Jet and the others with gazes full of curiosity.Amber was already near the kids, trying to act friendly so she could get a chance to pet them as well. Following her, even the others had also started approaching them just to get a chance at befriending them.Jet and the others were wary of their presence at first since they weren't familiar with them. Whenever one of them tried to pet them, they'd fly away or jump back.Ian couldn't help but chuckle seeing the expression of heartbreak in each of their faces as they failed to pet them or earn their trust.At first, it was Amber. When she fail
Smash! With the sound of something smashing against a tree, someone's palm turned into a fist full of scratches and wounds came into view. As they punched against the tree in such a violent manner, the friction caused a few new cuts to appear along with the countless old ones. "Why can't we find him?!" Arthur shouted as he tried to punch the tree again. But this time, he was stopped by one of his teammates. "Getting angry won't help, you know." She was one of the calmest and wisest member of his team. And all that wisedom was nothing but a result of years of experience as she was also the oldest one. Sierra, the Queen of elves, nobody knew exactly how old she was. And since some of the elves lived for even more than a thousand years, it was even more unpredictable. "It's just so frustrating.." Arthur expressed his feelings but at the same time, he also calmed down. As he took a seat nearby, Sierra came and sat by his side to keep him company and listen to his worries. "
"My lord!"Corner called out to Miller as he ran behind him. Miller was only there for a few minutes, ordering the knights and informing them of their next mission before he keft to do more paperwork in his office. It was another one of those days where they were too busy to even take a ten minute breather. But even so, it wasn't normal for Miller to ignore Corner. That was the only unusual part.And this has been going on for the last month, a whole month. He wouldn't avoid him usually, unless when Corner brought up the topic of Ian. It all started a month ago. Miller called for Corner in the middle of the night, making him run to his chamber only in his pajamas. It was unusual, for his lord to call for him with such urgency in the middle of the night, unless it had something to do with Ian. And just like today, he went running in that night as well, wondering if there were news about Ian, or even better, if the kid was finally back.But unlike what he had expected, the scene bef
"My ear's itchy.."Ian said looking back, wondering who was talking about him now. Right now they were a few miles away from their next destination. It was a mountain. Multiple mountain's actually.They were currently trying to check out the area where the tigers lived. And since they were territorial animals, they each had their own mountain that they ruled over.Ian knew this, and so did everyonr else there. It was a commonly known fact. That's why they decided to stay away and observe instead of mindlessly approaching them.Part of the reason was because Ian was a little scared of pissing them off, and the other reason had to do with not wanting to bother someone's peace over something that may or may not have happened yet."You have many people that think about you, brother."Ash spoke in a low voice from behind. They were currently divided into groups of two as each group was in charge of checking out different mountains.Till now, there weren't anything unusual that Ian found a
Everything was peaceful. It was so peaceful to the point of making Ian yawn in boredom."Why is nothing happening?"He wondered as he looked up at the mountain ahead of him. They have been patrolling the area for a few days now but there were no changes at all. "Maybe we should leave?"Ash suggested from the side. Ian looked back at the kid and pondered for a moment. He wasn't wrong. If the organisation had no plan of attacking these tigers then they were simply wasting their time right now. In the meantime, it was totally possible for some other village to be under attack.It was entirely possible that they were peacefully wasting their time here while people that actually needed their help was dying somewhere else. "Maybe we should.."Seeing Ian agree with his suggestion, Ash had a look of satisfaction on his face. He had already taken care of what needed to be behind Ian's back, so there really wasn't any need for them to stay here any longer."Alright.. let's stay here for one
"Saved Ice"The desert that Ian made for his kids and the rest. The expression on their faces were one of admiration and respect as they looked at Ian after finishing their bowl. It was as if he had just accomplished something major. It made Ian realise once again just how much this world lacked when it came to sweetness and snacks. If even sometimes made him wonder if the original author wasn't a big fan of sweets or something. "Go to sleep now. It's late."He said to the kids as he pointed towards their tent. It looked like the kids were eager to taste a bit more of the desert, but Ian didn't want them to catch a cold or get a sugar rush. They sulkily yet obediently followed Ian's words and went back to their tent, to Ian's tent to be more accurate. It looked like they were all planning on sleeping with him.Ian waved his hand and moved everything in front of him inside the ring once more and was about to join the kids when he suddenly heard a certain noise. It was very faint,
"Whoa! What is that smell?!"Rick abruptly sat up in his bed as he was woken up by the smell of something amazing being cooked.It was early morning and they all decided to sleep more than usual since they had to fight the scorpions yesterday. Ian said that they had to be in their peak condition."I don't think I'll be able to sleep after smelling something so delicious."He decided to get up from bed and check for himself what Ian was cooking outside. As he went out rubbing his eyes, he could see smoke. And there, beside the smoke, Ian with his three kids were crouching down staring at the fire. The four of them looked funny like they were doing some sort of weird ritual by the way they were sitting around the fire. "Ah-what? I thought I was the first one to be awake~"Rick whined as he got closer to the fire. The closer he got, the clearer the smell became. And even before taking a look at the food, he could guess what they were cooking now-"Hmm.. lobster? Are we having seafood t
"How do people live in the desert?"It was a harmless question asked by a kid who was being carried by Ian in his arms as they were on their way towards their next destination. "Hm?"Ian couldn't hear properly since the wind was brushing past his ear too fast while carrying away the words of the child. "HOW DO THEY LIVE IN THIS HEAT?!"Ria shouted on the top of her lungs so Ian could hear her this time. She hated not being heard of after staying and calling and screaming for help inside that cave for days. "Oh.. the heat.. Are you feeling hot? Is it uncomfortable?"Ian asked as he took a glance at Ria. The kid did look a little pale compared to usual. She was born and raised in a village surrounded by trees and grass, and flowers. This type of scenery, not a glimpse of trees or grass, or life, anywhere in sight, topping off with the fact that the sun was scorching hot, it was bound to make a kid feel uncomfortable. Lucas, Henry and the rest were fine since they had received train
