As she was getting closer to the village, a series of clippity-clops noises echoed from the nearby wilderness on the far right side of her. Intrigued by the sound of the galloping horses, Elizabeth moved her gaze to the source. There, she saw a group of outlined shadows running through the grassland towards her direction.
'Horses… with riders on top of them?' guessed Elizabeth as she squinted her eyes, trying to observe their figures amidst the clouded sky. But slowly, their appearance became clearer when the clouds parted away and let the moonlight shine to the ground.
They were male humans with the lower body of a horse and equipped with bows and spears. They wore clothes and war paintings on their body, giving out the impression of a civilized tribesman. However, they definitely didn't belong as a human but rath
The orange tint of the burning flames crackled inside the firebox whilst illuminating the looming figure before her. With a ceiling twice higher than a normal house, the half human stood on all fours. He possessed a dark hair, long enough to be tied in ponytail as his shirtless chest show a ripped musclesBeside him was a beauty whose countenance fairer than most of the girls she knew. Her silky hair and smooth skin paint an alluring charm. Even a beauty like Elizabeth herself felt a tinge of inferiority when she saw the woman's features.Behind her were the ever watchful warriors. Hands holding their respective weapons, they waited for the verdict of the one in front Elizabeth. Silently observing on the side with a readied stance. In case Elizabeth would try anything funny, they would rush to her in a heartbeat.
Waking up to the melodious chirping from the window, Elizabeth rose up and yawned softly. Her bed was far from soft, as it was a stack of hay covered with a sheet. It hurts her back slightly and she has to wake up at times thanks to the mosquitoes all around the place. Although he's sleeping time was far from the best, at the very least, she was glad she could sleep inside a warm building. Not to mention, she got herself some dinners last night before she went to bed. Foods that were personally cooked by the chief's wife and sent to her room. With her stretching out her stiff body, a faint stench entered her nostrils and made her twitch her nose. Looking at where the smell came from, Elizabeth frowned. She realized that she hadn't taken a bath or shower for two days and now she felt her skin so sticky and uncomfortabl
"The dungeon…?"Her countenance became grimmer with that sentence, Elizabeth raised her wariness while she gazed at Noserdan. Yet, seeing the latter's clear eyes, Elizabeth began to relax and said, "But you won't do it, right?""That's right," confirming Elizabeth's query, Noserdan continued, "If I wanted to, I wouldn't treat you like a guest in my own abode. Few rotten apples doesn't make the rest just as bad."Sighing in relief, Elizabeth tilted her head and asked, "So… Do you have something in mind to make me look not so suspicious to others?""Unfortunately, I don't," Noserdan replied without skipping a beat, as if he already expected Elizabeth's question, "Us centaurs, was the kind of race w
"Egma Ostifor is something that had existed from the bygone era. Where the forefathers of the elves and dragons step foot on earth for the first time and humans still living in fear of the darkness, gathering together in tribes, just like us."Trotting to the backyard, the warmth sunlight basked the two beings of different races. One's centaur and one's a human, something that caused frowns from other centaurs when they saw both of them together.Despite the obvious disapproval lingering on the air none of the majority would say their piece to their leader. As much as their distrust runs deep within their bones, they would still believe and respect their chief above all else. If not for the presence of their chief, perhaps some of them might have already acted towards kicking the human already.
As the endless green canopy greeted her everywhere she looked, faint roars of the faraway beast fell to her ears while she enjoyed the warmth breeze through her skin. Yellowish and reddish barks wrapped the standing trees twice taller than anything she had seen.With thickness as broad as two man's altogether, she tried to give them a touch. It was rougher than she had expected when her finger traced the tree's outline. As she spread her palm wide, a tingling sensation sparkled under her skin, causing her to back away in a little fright. Yet her gaze was still as bright in curiosity.Beneath her was a blanket of countless brown leaves, pilling up to create soft rustles every time she walked. Giving the girl a sense of melody of its own while she stared at the gaps of the shade above, right at the vast blue and white. 
"Kyaa!"Blood quickly blossomed in the air while her steps went backwards in surprise. Instinctively, she swung the blade to the front, yet it missed the monkey by a large margin as it easily landed on the ground."Kikikikik!"It's laugh echoed throughout the area with the monkey's once azure eyes becoming bloodshot and turned crimson. Shortly after, similar chirpings sounded from the canopy above. All of the chirpings were overlapping each other giving an overwhelming feeling while Elizabeth noticed how the noise came from all directions.'So the one who was gazing at me all this time were these guys?'Connecting the dots, Elizabeth hurriedly s
With a beautiful silver mane, the wolf walked to her side while it gazed at her. Instead of baring its fangs it smiled to greet Elizabeth and put her at ease. Simultaneously, a calm aura emanated from it, which made Elizabeth lowered her guard for a little bit.'A talking wolf!?'Slightly gasping her mouth, Elizabeth felt more wary and vigilant as her counterpart wasn't some savage like the monkeys from before. It was a sentient being and seeing how it revealed itself to her and showed no sign of attacking for now, perhaps there would be a huge chance for it to want something from Elizabeth."I see that you've come from a faraway place, little one," uttered the wolf after it stopped its steps around thirty meters away from Elizabeth. "May I ask of what is your bu
In the silence, tranquility of the black that stretched the vast horizon, countless glistening diamonds decorated the infinity void and beyond. Underneath the boundless clouds were the flickering, tiny orange lights that stood out amidst the sea of dark greens.Surrounding that small light would be a beast on fours and rows of razor teeth. Yet, it's stature wasn't huge nor small. It's snout was more than capable for tracking any scents it had smelled. Still, though it's appearance might be common, it was more than that. For its current form was still nothing more than a small part of it.In front of it was a sitting girl whose complexion had stiffened whilst her eyes wandered upon all of the directions. Hand near the handle of their short sword, the girl finally let out a huge yawn before she rubbed her eyes. Tiredness ha
