“That’s enough! I don’t want to fight with you!” Helene screamed with anger. She tried to stand up after being knocked down by Mephisto.Surprised with how Helene reacted in anger, Pandora smiled. “Oh, the Saintess is angry. Did you see that, Stella?”“Yup. She was angry. I think this is my first time seeing that,” responded Stella in disbelief.“No no no!” Helene was panicking. “I didn’t mean to get angry. It is not your fault, Pandora.” Helene tried to hide her embarassment. She was trying hard not to make her friends uncomfortable.“It is alright, now you look like a normal woman.” Pandora helped Helene to stand up. “Don’t be too formal with us! If you feel like you are annoyed, be angry. Scream, yell or do anything! And if you feel like you want to express your feeling. Don’t hold it. Try to express it.” Pandora gave Helene a big hug.Helene did not really understand but she tried to take Pandora’s advice in her mind. Indeed she start
It has been more than two days Mephisto stayed around its cage. Mephy looked happy whenever Stella, Helene, and Pandora came to play with it. Stella did her best in taking care of the baby bird. She always gave proper meal for the crow. When Stella was away, Mephisto could not dare to leave its home. However, as the bird kept growing it began to feel stressed out.One day when Stella was going out to hunt for food, Mephisto followed her. Stella did not realize at first until she heard a scream of a citizen. Stella looked back and was surprised to see the baby crow followed her. Stella quickly say her apology to the citizen and took Mephisto back to its cage.“Mephy, bad boy! Don’t leave from your home. Wait for me here, okay?” Stella scolded her baby crow. Mephisto looked down because it could be its first time being scolded.CAWCAW!Mephisto screamed a lot when Stella walked away from it. The baby crow seemed like it begged Stella to join with he
Stella was interrogated by the angry civilians. They suspected that Stella stole animals from the poultry farm and fed it to her big baby crow. Stella was confused and she tried to decline the accusation. She was mad and tried her best to stand for her innocence.Not long after that, Helene came and stopped the morning debate. She calmed both Stella and the angry people. “Alright, now. Let’s discuss it with cool head.” Helene tried to be a moderator. “Is there any proof that Stella stole the animals?”The owner of the chicken farm searched something in his pocket. He showed a blue feather with big size to Helene. “I found it near the farm. I believe this feather is that bird’s feather!”Stella was shocked. She could not believe that her baby crow would do something bad. Stella then decided to apologize if Mephisto really did something bad. She promised that she would keep an eye of Mephisto more. However, the owner of the chicken farm was not satisfied. He
Stella did her best in taming Mephisto. Since Stella taught her baby crow to do things properly, problems were suppressed. However, Mephisto was still a kid. It might do something naughty again later. If that happened, Stella’s job to scold and correct Mephy would be appreciated. Stella got a long way to go to be a good tamer.Mephisto got better with its flying ability. It could fly higher than before and the speed could be well-controlled. It flew happily from place to place and people did not feel scared or worried anymore. Of course Stella was always there to supervise its birdie in case unwanted things happened.Not only its flying ability, Mephisto’s instinct to hunt was also improved. Doing regular hunting every day has sharpened its sense to track down its preys. Even during the night time Mephy could move swiftly. Slowly but surely Mephisto would be a good hunter and that could become a great achievement to aid Stella in the future. Mephy also never hunted
The next day, Stella gathered more of Mephy’s feathers. She went to several places where the bird might passed by. Stella even visited the place where Alex and the other men were still working on their project. Sometimes Stella invited Mephisto to go with her to see Alex for some advise. Even though Stella felt disgusted by Alex’s perverted attitude sometimes, she could count on him if there were difficulties.“I see you are now having a business. I’m glad your birdie does not make serious trouble anymore,” said Alex while taking his short break.Alex and Stella were sitting in a bench of a park. They were discussing about things. Mephisto was standing next to Stella while moving its head a lot like a confused child.“Yeah, I’m now good at sewing and making clothes. I don’t want to be useless. I want to show you too that I am a good babysitter,” told Stella with prideful expression. She looked like an arrogant girl but actually she wished for Alex’s praise
It was a sunny day, in the middle of summer season. Alex took this perfect opportunity of a weather to bring the group for a training season. In his past life, Alex and the group always neglecting constant training that resulted in casualties in their party, so Alex took every chance he can to make sure that everybody is in good shape for a foreseeable combat.“Ughh... It’s so hot... Why do we have to go in this broad daylight?” Complains Stella as they walked to their destination. As an elf race that usually resides beneath the shade of the forest, being out in the sun for too long proves to be uncomfortable for her fair white skin.“Well, we’re here for a fun session of training, of course! I thought I already told you before we depart?” Reply Alex to Stella.“What?! Training?! You didn’t tell me anything about this!” Stella snaps at Alex statement.“Well, he did say to bring our weapons as we depart. I thought we were going on a mission or something…” Helene comments.“Ain’t there
In the early morning, where not even the Sun has shown its full face yet. The group are already set and prepared for the journey towards Port Apenai with a carriage provided by the Kingdom. The trip was rather awkward. In between them, Salieri can be seen with a bitter expression, he looked restless and barely got any sleep.“Hey… Salieri… Are you okay?” Helena looks worried at her friend condition.Salieri face turns to Helene, and greeted her with a smile.“Oh, ma dame, it seems that you seem concerned about Moi. But, worry not! I just had an annoying bed bug that prevents Moi beauty sleep. That is all!” Salieri speaks with his usual bravado.“Is… Is that so? Okay then.” Helene smiles awkwardly. As everyone’s gaze averts from Salieri, Salieri’s smile turned into a sad expression.The rest of the team are worried about how miserable Salieri looked. They all know that Salieri’s hometown under attack by the Demons is a heavy blow to him, but they didn’t know the right words to comfort
After the fight of Port Apenai has been settled, you can finally see the condition of Port Apenai that is in shambles caused by the demon’s attack overnight. Alex’s party helps the people of Port Apenai repairing the damages of the city.“O’right mate, on my mark. Ready… Set… HMMMPPHH!” Germio can be seen working along with Rasheed in lifting the debris of building that is too large for most villager to remove.Helene is helping to take care of the wounded along with the rest of village’s impromptu paramedics team.She wrapped bandages over a fainted boy’s body, before casting a healing magic upon him. The palm of her hand briefly shines and the boy’s previous pained expression started to fade.“That should be enough, now we just need to let him rest.” Said Helene towards a middle-aged lady next to her, presumably the mother of the wounded kid.“Thank you so much, Priestess. I don’t know if I can ever repay you and other heroes who have done so much for us.” The lady profusely thanked
As the group anxiously waiting by the side of the poisonous river, Mephisto’s conditions turns to worse. Helene and Merith are doing their hardest to treat Mephisto but to no avail. The bedridden bird can only hacks and coughs despite their best effort, signaling that the treatment from Helene and Marion didn’t work as expected.“Kween...” Chirp Mephisto weakly.“Meppy! Meppy! Stay with me, okay? Don’t leave me yet.” Stella cries as she hugs Mephisto.As they argued, a giant shadow suddenly emerged out of river with a splash and lands in their vicinity. It was Marion that jumped out of water. On his side, he is holding a creature with a weird body shape, resembling an eel with whiskers and a bloated stomach.“Here is the Lele fish!” Marion shows everybody his catch. The fish can only helplessly squirms on Marion’s grasp.“That’s... You sure ‘that’ is a fish?” Question Salieri.“That no animal. That monster.” Rasheed readies his w
“You’re not doing much of a help, Helene! You know what? You’re a useless saintess!”Stella’s angered words were still spinning inside the saintess thoughts. Her pride was hurt seeing that she couldn’t heal Mephisto and Stella was disappointed in her. Despite the harsh truth, Helene decided to try again after several unsuccessful attempts.“Helene, don’t go too hard on yourself,” Pandora reminded her.“I don’t,” replied the saintess quickly, her hands still busy pressing Mephisto’s weakening body with all of her might. “I just have to … heal Mephisto and prove that I’m a worthy member of this time.”“We are all valuable and worthy, no one is superior to others,” responded Alex, “take it slow, Helene. Don’t rush.”Seeing Helene’s work in vain, Pandora decided to leave the scene and inspect the waterfall. As she peered from above, her eyes caught something long and dark wiggling underneath. The witch sharpened her sight and noticed that it
Every hero party member was now relieved after being trapped inside the maze-like, magic forest. As Alex looked up at the darkened sky and the sun was already on the western horizon, he realized they'd spent hours figuring out the escape."Gosh, how long have we been there?" he said with surprise.“Ah, finalmente!” Salieri exclaimed, plopping himself to the grassy ground and stretching his feet. “My legs are sore from walking for days and I can feel my feet blistering.”“Just man up and don’t exaggerate, you limp man” Germio replied, as always being grumpy. “We’ve been there only for a few hours.”As the rest of the group rested and gained some energy, Stella looked around and examined the new surrounding. All the elf girl saw was just an expanse of green meadow, but her keen hearing sensed something more. She quickly took a turn to the opposite side of the sun, following the stone path. It was slightly slippery from the moss that grew on almost e
They have been walking for around an hour now and yet they could not find any sign of exit. The party began to feel tired.“Sir Alex. Everyone is tired. Should we take a break?” Helene looked worried. She could feel Pandoran and the merfolks began to catch their breath.“Just a little more. Resting in the forest and got lost might be a bad idea. We need to find the exit soon.” Alex demanded the team to keep walking more because as far as he could remember, there was a forest that could trap them for days. Alex’s memory was quiet blurry at that time but one thing for sure that when he decided to take a rest in a certain forest, on the next day they were trapped for more than one day.The others nodded in agreement because they believed in Alex’s decision. So, they tried their best to continue walking while following the hero.More minutes have passed and they were still wandering around the foggy forest. Not only Pandora and the merfolks, the other coul
Alex and his party continued their journey to explore Tiryag continent after they had enough rest. They came deeper into the forest until they reached the area where fog started to appear. The fog was not so thick and they could see the road in sight. They might arrived in a new area and new enemies might appear anytime soon.“Hmm, this forest give me a chill.”Pandora commented. It seemed like she could sense something.“What is it, Pan? Do you sense any enemy?” Alex asked. He was leading the team by walking in front line.“I’m not sure. I just feel like something is bothering me.” Pandora still could not clearly stated what she felt once she came into this foggy forest. She tried to find out herself.As they kept on walking further, they could hear a sound like a giggle.“Hey, elf girl. What are you giggling about?” Germio looked at Stella suspecting her for being the one who giggled. The sound was indeed like a little girl and it fit he
It took almost a day until Alex and his party arrived in Tiryag continent. The ship was anchored near a beach that looked gloomy with eerie atmosphere. There was no sign of lives as far as they tried to search around it. However, they could feel uneasiness when they tried to see the forest right in front of them. Soon after that, they decided to explore the continent by going forward to that forest hoping that they could find some clues about how to locate the Demon King.The large group were walking peacefully without encountering something dangerous at that moment. But soon, they might find themselves surrounded with uncertain dangers and challenges ahead.“Rasheed, are you alright?” Alex asked after reading the expression of that big fella that turned discouraged. Despite of Rasheed’s big body, that expression did not really suit him. Moreover, Alex could remember something about his past life when he stepped into Tiryag along with his hero party. He believed th
“Avast ye, ye filthy camper! ‘Twas so cowardly of you to launch a sneak attack like that!” cursed Jillaab. He aimed his remark at the ocean, suspecting that the assault just now came from down there.That statement resulted in a twin pillars of water forming from the seemingly calm waves. And from within those pillars, two blue shadows appeared and landed on board.“Shiver me timbers! ‘Tis the Wow Warriors!” exclaimed Balastar, finding it hard to see two humanoid fishes walking towards him with two legs. “I thought it was just a myth!”“Wow Warriors?” asked Pandora. It was clearly merfolks that they saw in front of them. “Is that how you guys call merfolks?”“Young lass, we have no idea what this merfolk yer’ talking about, but the Wow Warriors we’re referring to is a stuff of legend, used to be told as a nighttime scary stories!” replied Jillaab, equally in awe with his comrade.“Aye, that be true, matey! Many a sailor have told tales of their terrifying encounters with the Wow Warri
It had been less than an hour since the ship departed the port, but the debate had been going nonstop. The main topic was caused by Alex’s rash decision to recruit the two pirates who appeared out of nowhere.“Al, have you lost your mind?” protested Pandora. “We don’t know about these two dirty guys and you just casually invited them aboard? On top of that, you entrusted them with the wheel!”“Not to mention that sinister-looking parrot, Alex!” Stella took on Pandora’s side. “This ship is too small for two birds. Mephy should be the only one on board!”Alex, on the other hand, didn’t directly entertain their banter. Instead, he just stood there, allowing each of his crews to vent their dissatisfaction. Meanwhile Jillaab and Balastar were having a god round of the ship, amazed by the beauty they laid their eyes upon."Ahoy there! Ye lot be blessed enough to sail the virgin ocean on this beauty, yet ye still find time to argue? Ye should be grateful for this adventure and enjoy the jour
“What’s wrong, Alex?” asked the King. “Where did all of your previous enthusiasm go?”“Your Majesty, I would love to do as just what you told me. But steering the ship is something out of my realm of capabilities.” Alex chose his words carefully not to displease the King. “I’ve been looking around for a while, but never did once I saw someone tending the ship.”Frown appeared in King Romeus’ forehead. “Didn’t you subdue the pirates before here in this very place? I thought you were no stranger to command a ship?”“Yeah, but that time a good person came to my aid,” argued Alex, his eyes were scanning the surrounding and by a pure stroke of luck, he locked his view on his aforementioned lifesaver. “Speak of the devil, that was the man!”Hamith, being pointed out by Alex, smiled and waved at his old companion, approaching him lightly. “Sir Hero, I have heard that there would be a grand farewell of the heroes here on the port, so I made my way here. And boy am I honored to know that you s
