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
Scrutinizing the fights from afar with the little girl in her arms, Elizabeth watched how the battlefield already turned into something that belongs to movies and fictions. Flames, lightning, and ice darted around in the air while the roar of the giant beast filled the area. On the other side of the battlefield, there were many charred black marks and raging flames burning the trees. Amidst the ring of fires were two individuals having sword fights.It was an even match with Aaron slightly at a disadvantage as he was in a defensive position for a while. Not only did he have to clash against the Sacred Heart member but the homing chakram would sneakily fly towards his blind spots. Making him have to watch out for the flying weapon and fight with the opponent before him.As for Edmurd's side, the two Sacred Heart members were the
Cleaning up the battlefield by gathering the tied up Sacred Heart members, Edmurd faced Aaron and saw the deep wound on the man's waist. Snorting, Edmurd asked, "Do you need help for that little cut? Looks like your regeneration didn't work that well.""It's a curse," responded Aaron with frantic breaths. "You may already be aware of it, Guardian, but there is a creature with the power of a demon on the wizard's side."Picking up the latter's words, Edmurd repeated. "A creature with the power of a demon?""Isn't it pretty obvious?" said Aaron while his countenance became grimmer the more he spoke, "Although I didn't know how they could create something like that, but…""But witches would definitely be i
Feeling the strong breeze on her face, Elizabeth held onto the fluffy furs tightly for her dear life. Though behind her were rows of hardened, mythical warriors, they might not even be fast enough to save her when she fell out at this unprecedented speed.Everything around her had become a blur and there were continuous jolts that made her butts slightly hurt. But when she saw how far the distance they had covered in this short period of time, she couldn't utter a complaint.After they left behind a few elvish rangers to deal with the supposed to be demon, Edmurd had taken its gigantic form to give everyone a lift towards the nearest elf's village. Thessa was sitting right beside Eldar who helped her to shield the wind while Aaron was on the opposite side. Both of them seemingly conversed about something. But amidst the i
