"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
In the warm summer of the cooling breeze, the lush green leaves entered her view everywhere she saw. At times, small animals such as rodents or birds could be seen on her path, including the families roaring sounds of the far predators. But instead of feeling fearful, her feet were lighter than ever. For one, the being walking beside her gave her just that much security as time passed. Not even in her wildest mind would she imagined how powerful the being was. And that has been proven last night, where something out of a horror fiction greeted her in the middle of her slumber. Creature with a height of fifteen meters was drawn to her so-called aura. Its sword-like fangs were shown at the gaps of its stinky mouth. Ebony scales and hides as tough as a bulletproof vest reflecting the moonlight at its brightest time. Such
"That one...."Listening to the chorus of melodious giggles, Elizabeth traced the sweet voices and spotted a flower garden on their way. The flower has thin, fan shaped leaves around them and the blooming pinkish petals that trembled ever so slightly. When they were close enough, she could smell the scent of a fresh honey that would definitely attract any bees nearby. Yet, to her surprise there weren't any bugs near them."That's the Flodere flowers. A romantic gift to your loved one. But perhaps, in a human's view, they could be a little frightening." answered Edmurd before Elizabeth could finish her sentence."Frightening?"Halting it's steps, Edmurd said, "Wait and observe."
As she stupefied from the soothing voice, Elizabeth subconsciously stared at the floating palanquin as her lips opened slightly. Somehow she felt a sense of Deja Vu towards the palanquin, similar to where she was within the mysterious gallery.The instant she recalled the mysterious gallery, the amazement within quickly suppressed and she backed away. Edmurd, who was beside her, suddenly stepped forward and stood between Elizabeth and the palanquin."Still as flashy as ever," uttered Edmurd, whose eyes were rolling in annoyance. "Milda.""Ah, Edmurd…" this time, the voice rang in the area instead of her head and Elizabeth realized once more that she was drawn by the owner of that voice. It was as if there were an irresistible charm laced in every single wo
"Hey, hey, Edmurd. That's-""A mandrake, the plant that would cry when you pulled it out. A pretty common and useful plant around these parts. That only if you knew some alchemy of course""Then, that-""Hungry Geass. It's a cursed grass that made anyone who was walking on it doomed to perpetual and insatiable hunger. Since it was a curse, there would be a cure for it. But don't expect it to be easy.""How about-""Herbert. The type of bushes that would turn into razor sharp blades the second anything touched it. It's pretty useful if you want to make a makeshift weapon from it."No matter ho
Resuming their walks on the dried up land, Elizabeth frowned deeply as she briefly glanced to her back.In the far distance, the lush greens and tall canopies accompanied with blinding and warm sunlight could be seen. Meanwhile, everything around her was the contrast of that scene. Although there were many trees around, all of them were dead without a single leaf.It was a vast grey instead of the green she had seen all the time for the past days. There wasn't even a single grass around. However, rocks and pebbles were everywhere while sky high above was always clouded.'What's this smell?'A particular stench entered her nostrils and caused her to scowl slightly. It was a sinister smell when
Not long after that, they both found a little girl that looks like a preschooler. Yet, the girl possessed long ears and wore a snow white piece dress. When they saw her, the girl also recognized them and waved her hands in the air. Tears welling up at the corner of her eyes and dripped down incessantly.When they finally arrived at her side, the little girl went to Edmurd and hugged it's neck tightly. Amidst her sobbing noises, she mumbled. Sounding desperate and afraid."Please… Please…! Mighty Guardian! Please help my friend!"Rubbing it's cheek to the girl's Edmurd replied. It's time was so gentle that Elizabeth was surprised immediately."Worry not, sweetheart. I will do my best f
