Aster Cruise and Witch's Forest

Chapter 7

The white bear continued to walk closer to his body. He immediately brandished his wand while chanting an incantation.

    "Zozofa fafano! Zozofa fafano!" Aster shouted with all his might towards the bear's body.

    Instantly all the bears turned into statues. With a sigh of relief, he invited Queen Louis to immediately continue his journey.

    Truly a very wide snow field. The journey is still so long. Finally they decided to rest under a pine tree.

    "Aster, thank you for helping save my kingdom. I will try to help you return to the real world," Queen Louis said in a reassuring tone.

    "Thank you, this is all my fault because in the past my friends didn't want to go on vacation to the forest, but I forced them to become victims too," Aster replied with a sad look.

    While they were talking, suddenly from behind Aster's body a wolf came while sticking out its tongue.

    "Aster, there's a wolf behind you. Let's get out of here!" cried Queen Louis nervously.

    The two of them immediately took a shortcut by climbing a cypress tree which was quite different.

    They also chatted with each other from the top of the tree while looking at the wolves that kept coming from all directions and making their number so many.

    "Queen Louis, how are we going to continue our journey if we are surrounded by wolves below us," shouted Aster from the fir tree.

    "Aster, I left my wand down there. How can I get it," replied Queen Louis as well, shouting because the two of them were in different trees.

    Seeing the atmosphere in a dangerous condition, Aster immediately thought of saving himself. He remembered from the results of the test to unite his strength all this time, he had a red pearl necklace that he was wearing.

    He immediately took the initiative to face the necklace towards the wolf by saying his wish.

    "Get out of here ugly wolf!" shouted Aster while brandishing her necklace in all directions at each wolf's body.

The pearl necklace also emitted light towards the wolf's body with a bright light.

 One by one the wolves went somewhere. Aster and Queen Louis immediately descended from the tree in relief.

 "Aster, your sorcery has begun to react. You deserve to be the mage king in my kingdom," Queen Louis smiled.

 "But, I want to return to my real world. There's no way I can be the leader of your kingdom!"  replied Aster with teary eyes.

 "Never mind, think about it later. Let's just continue our journey," Queen Louis said as he rose from his seat.

 Aster immediately followed in the footsteps of Queen Louis.  He still felt disappointed in Queen Louis' heart for refusing his offer.

 The journey is getting closer to the direction of the ice water river according to the instructions in the book.  The road that was once a snowy field, has now turned into a snow hill.

 On the sidelines of his journey Aster read again the direction to be headed.  He was relieved that the crystal stone was only thirty steps from where he was standing.

 "Queen Louis, we must count our footsteps from now on!"  Aster said as he closed his book again.

 "Okay, let's count together so we don't forget!"  Queen Louis replied as he started counting.

 The steps of Aster and Queen Louis were getting closer to the area of ​​the crystal stone which finally from a distance seemed to sparkle because of the reflection of the light of the crystal stone.

 "Queen Louis, we have finally found the crystal stone. Look, it's over there!"  shouted Aster while pointing at the light from the crystal stone.

 "Yes Aster, we did it. Let's get there right now, before the wizard Francis comes," replied Queen Louis.

 Aster who just knew there was another witch's name, she immediately asked Queen Louis out of curiosity.

 "Who is that wizard Francis? Is he the magician who will attack your kingdom too?"  asked the curious Aster.

 "Not Aster. He is an evil wizard. He always prevents people who will take the crystal stone here. He is also mentioned in the book you hold with the initials F," explained Queen Louis.

They immediately ran towards the crystal stone light. However, the wizard franciscus also ran at high speed from him.

  He tried to block the way by making a circle of fire in the snow. Aster's face, which had been calm before, had now turned into panic because she was currently in a circle of fire with Queen Louis. Even the wizard Francis laughed after they were both trapped.

  "You can't take crystal stones there. You will burn to death here and become my delicious food. Your flesh will increase my strength," shouted the wizard Francis, laughing at the panicked face of Queen Louis and Aster.

  Hearing the words of the wizard Fransiscuc who was happy at the suffering of others, made Aster's heart feel irritated. He even replied right away.

  "Not for me, an evil wizard! I will not die here. I will make sure I can fight your power," shouted Aster, brandishing her wand.

  Suddenly the wizard Francis was silent after seeing the necklace that Aster was wearing with a red pearl in it. He immediately knew Aster's identity that he was a magician whose strength was already high.

  "Apparently you are also a magician? I admire your bravery little boy, let's have a strength match. Anyone who can defeat me can take the crystal stone, but if you lose I will make sure you are crushed to ashes," the wizard Fransiscus said laughing again.

  Aster and Queen Louis immediately devised a plan to unite their powers because Queen Louis knew that the power of the wizard Franciscus was above him. After getting an idea, then they agreed to the offer from the wizard Franciscus.

  "Alright, I'm ready to fight you. Feel this!" Aster said as he cast a spell and pointed his wand at the wizard Franciscus.

  The battle between the two lasted quite a long time. In the end the wizard Francis cast his spell on Queen Louis. Suddenly Queen Louis' body turned into a wolf.

  Aster was very scared because Queen Louis seemed to want to pounce on him. He thought again of changing Queen Louis' body back to his original form while casting a spell towards Queen Louis's body. But the wizard Franciscus continued to attack him by throwing fireballs at his body.

  Queen Louis who turns into a wolf also wants to always pounce on him. Even his right hand was bleeding from the scratch.

  "Queen Louis, it's me Aster. Please don't hurt me!" shouted Aster while pushing the incarnate wolf of Queen Louis who continued to approach her.

  Meanwhile, the wizard Fransiscus laughed and waited for Aster's body to become food for the wolf incarnate Queen Louis.
