The story takes place in the time Ferris and I are still in the Human empire. Traveling each city, doing different things. Usually moving around place aimlessly.
While we’re walking in the forest searching a way to a supposed nearby city.
“I’m hungry…”
Ferris muttered as she walked beside Laura.
Laura’s stomach growls. She holds her stomach and make a deep breath.
“I’m also hungry, the next city is supposed to be nearby the town we left earlier. I guess we’re lost.”
“Master can fly to navigate the surroundings.”
“I wish I can do it, but I lost lots of magic from the last quest. It will take time before I’m able to grow my wings again.”
Turning my head around. I’m looking for a wild mushroom or anything we can eat. Unfortunately, I’m unable to find anything.
The forest we’re in is full of giant thick trees.
As the long walk continues.
We heard a cry for help.
“Somebody help me! Somebody!”<
