"Place him over here," Nikita instructed Arthfael, who was carrying Gerhard's unconscious body alone.Arthfael carefully laid Gerhard's body on a soft, glowing bed made of leaves and flowers. The bed emitted a gentle warmth, as if embracing Gerhard with healing energy. Surrounding them were the lush and magical landscapes of the realm of the fairies, filled with vibrant colors and enchanting sounds.Valentina, Flare, and Neptunis gathered around, their eyes filled with concern for Gerhard. Nikita approached the unconscious Gerhard, her wings shimmering in the soft glow of the surroundings. She placed her hand on his forehead, closing her eyes in deep concentration."His condition is critical," Nikita said with a somber tone. "The curse he bore for centuries has weakened him greatly. We must act swiftly to try and save him."Arthfael looked at Nikita with a mix of hope and worry. "Can you do anything to help him?"Nikita nodded. "I will do my best. Our magic here is potent, and I can u
Gerhard's body floated above the pool, unconscious. Golden light and sparkles continued to swirl around him as the twin fairies, Kylie and Millie, reached out their hands to heal him. These two fairies were a pair of twins with the power of healing.It was no wonder that Cecil objected to Leia's decision to call them, as he saw them all as intruders not permitted in the fairy world.The atmosphere was solemn as Kylie and Millie channeled their healing powers into the much larger body of Gerhard. Arthfael watched Gerhard with a worried expression. Leia flew over to where Arthfael was, accompanied by Valentina, Flare, and Neptunis."Don't worry, he will wake up soon. But it won't take long since the curse has been lifted," Leia said.Arthfael turned his gaze to Leia, and his eyes appeared teary. Despite knowing Gerhard for less than two months, Arthfael already felt as if Gerhard were family.Without Gerhard guiding him, Arthfael might not be where he was now. He wouldn't possess Soulfi
Leia can feel the emotional reunion with a soft smile, knowing that the healing had not only restored Gerhard's physical body but also mended the emotional wounds between him and Nikita.Leia turned to the others, "Perhaps we should give Gerhard and Nikita some time alone," she suggested.Valentina nodded and approached Arthfael, "I agree."Gerhard smiled and thanked them for the time they had given him. Finally, everyone else left, leaving Gerhard and Nikita alone to have their conversation, knowing that their time together might be running out soon.As time passed, Gerhard's breathing, which had become steady, now began to slow down again. Tears flowed down his cheeks. Nikita embraced Gerhard's face with her whole body, trying to comfort him."Nikita, thank you for everything. Thank you for being my friend," Gerhard said with a shaky voice.Nikita nodded, her tears unable to contain the sorrow in her heart. Yet, her lips formed a smile, as
The departure of Gerhard with Nikita, which happened some time ago, had left a deep sense of loss among several individuals, especially Neptunis, who had been together with them for decades. Due to the loneliness he felt, Neptunis even hesitated to return to his original place as the waterfall guardian monster. Instead, he preferred to stay at Gerhard's house, where he found thousands of memories of Gerhard that remained in the house.Today, Arthfael decided to visit Neptunis again, unsure of how many times he had done so already. After all, Neptunis was still a monster that required supervision, especially now that his human contract partner was no longer there. Arthfael's task was to keep an eye on Neptunis to ensure he wouldn't disturb any other humans who might pass by Gerhard's house."Arthfael!" Camilla suddenly called out as she stood in front of the lodging they were staying in.Arthfael, Valentina, and Flare, who were just about to leave the place, turned their heads upon he
As Arthfael took the letter from Neptunis, a mixture of emotions washed over him. Holding the letter in his hands felt like holding a piece of Gerhard's soul. It was a bittersweet moment, knowing that Gerhard was no longer around but still being able to connect with him through his heartfelt words.As Arthfael was about to open the letter, he suddenly paused and placed it back inside his pocket."What's wrong? Why don't you open it?" Valentina asked curiously about the contents of the letter."Is there something wrong?" Neptunis chimed in, equally curious as Arthfael decided not to read the letter.Arthfael glanced at Camilla, who had just returned from the kitchen and placed various dishes on the dining table. Seeing Camilla's presence, Arthfael quickly made an excuse, even though he actually wanted to prepare himself before reading the letter left by Gerhard."Let's eat first. I'm really hungry," he said, then promptly tucked the letter from Gerhard into his pants pocket.Valentina
Right below the letter, there was actually a writing that Arthfael didn't read aloud. It stated that Arthfael was allowed to leave the house after Gerhard's departure and even destroy it. Because that was all Gerhard could give to Arthfael after knowing the man for all this time.For if it weren't for Arthfael, Gerhard might still be alive with the pain in his heart, unable to let go peacefully. Now, they continued to clean Gerhard's house that they would inhabit. Arthfael even repaired the damaged roof and some other corners that were affected by Searox's attack some time ago.As the sun set and the evening approached, Zeke and Ian came to help. No matter how tired they were from work, they still assisted Arthfael, who was fixing the house even until late at night."What can we help you, Sir?" Zeke asked just moments after they arrived.Ian, who came with Zeke, also prepared to assist Arthfael. They both had already taken off their clothes and were left with plain sleeveless shirts t
Today, several people who volunteered to fight against Searox were gathered in the palace courtyard, including Arthfael. Many of them were men, but there were also quite a few women among the crowd."It's strange, why are there so many women participating?" Valentina murmured, observing several women standing alongside them.Valentina was sure that these women were not palace servants but individuals who willingly joined the battle against Searox. Ever since the powerful tremors believed to be caused by Searox shook Verdantia, the citizens were called upon to participate in preparing for the war against the sea and underground dragon."Perhaps they are powerful sorceresses," Flare suggested.Arthfael turned his gaze to the women standing not far from where he was. Some of them were dressed in clean and beautiful garments, which differed greatly from the clothing of ordinary citizens."What are you looking at?" a woman suddenly felt uncomfortable being stared at by Arthfael.Arthfael i
"What are you doing here?" asked Arthfael, surprised to see Camilla standing confidently in front of him without a hint of guilt or shame."What else? I'm volunteering to be your fighting partner," Camilla replied, raising her hand and producing sparks of lightning magic from her fingertips, proving that she could harness electrical energy as requested.Arthfael was taken aback by Camilla's unexpected declaration. He had never imagined that Camilla, who had always been hesitant and unsure about her magic abilities, would step forward to be his partner in facing the formidable Searox."But Camilla, are you sure about this?" Arthfael asked with concern. "Facing Searox is no small feat. It's a dangerous and life threatening task."Camilla's determined expression didn't waver as she replied, "I know it's dangerous, but I believe in you, Arthfael. And I believe in myself too. I have been practicing diligently, and I want to prove to myself that I can be strong and useful."Arthfael looked
