While Flora, at the edge of her consciousness, her spirit seemed to be meeting with Rose. The two of them clasped hands to the road in front of which there was a circular passage with a purplish blue light. She felt that she would soon follow her sister to the realm of immortality.Not without reason Flora thought that way, because all her joints and bones were no longer able to move, the eyes that could no longer be opened, the breath getting weaker, and the body locked up was getting more and more tormented. Flora was truly hopeless. She surrendered if her life was enough to get here.Bug!Suddenly Flora's body fell. It was all because Queen Castalia who came down to earth attacked Lorenza and Jonathan. The Queen gave instructions with a wink to Fairy Luna to bring Flora to the royal palace to immediately be treated with a potion of lake water.Xander ran to Flora who collapsed unconscious, he hugged her anxiously. But when he hold the pulse on her wrist, it still throbbed even thou
Lorenza and Jonathan are transferred to a confinement room by Patih Nuvoleon. He is the confidant of the Queen Castalia and King Valderman who has served for hundreds of years.The unstoppable longing, made Queen Castalia hug the princess so tightly. There was a happy cry that flowed from the corner of the queen's eyes. Then the Queen Castalia gathered hundreds of servants and aides outside the palace, precisely in a gathering place as large as a football stadium.On the palace balcony, Queen Castalia stood with Flora, Xander, and Fairy Luna. She announced that Princess Anastasya had returned after twenty years imprisoned on earth due to the actions of King Lagarde. However, Queen Castalia has not been able to give the princess crown to Flora, for various reasons of course.A lively welcome echoed in the palace of the Land of Light. Obviously everyone was happy for the arrival of the princess. Because with her return to the palace, it was the beginning of glory. The king will return,
"Stupid! Stupid!"The King who had lived for a century and a half was raging. He swept away all the guards that were around him, becoming the food of his anger."My goodness, King. Don't finish us off again."One of the guards apologized."Shut up!" snapped King Lagarde.The big man continued to beat whatever was near him. But none of the guards dared to run or dodge, because if that was done, King Lagarde would be even more furious and could even take his life the way he liked.Evidently, many bodyguards were killed by swords due to the anger of King Lagarde. Therefore they do not want to experience the same thing. That is the consequence if assigned to be a bodyguard who is inside the palace, in contrast to the bodyguard who is outside the palace.Just like Lorenza and Jonathan whose whereabouts were unreadable, so was Flora. She must have met the Queen of Castalia at the palace of the Land of Light ."God damn it!"King Lagarde could already read, the first thing Queen Castalia did
Frans's cold demeanor made Flora feel bad. She realized that she had disturbed the grandfather's comfort. Flora also understood, which parent wouldn't be worried if the child or grandchild would go on such an extreme journey. Thankfully if the track could be reached, even Flora herself didn't know how difficult the obstacles would be."If Grandpa doesn't let me, I don't mind going alone," Flora said."No, Grandpa will definitely give permission." Xander replied by touching the back of Flora's hand that was on her knee.Then Xander was asked to go to the living room by the grandfather, leaving Flora alone."Don't be careless, my grandson. The sky realm is a danger to humans, no matter how strong you are, you still won't be able to have a spare life if one day is threatened. Unlike that girl, no matter how weak she is, she can definitely survive because she has a lot of life reserves and has parents. with all his might." The grandfather concluded, his voice slightly lowered, afraid that
After traveling for 14 hours and 30 minutes, the plane they were traveling in finally landed at Rio de Janeiro International Airport, Brazil. Flora and Xander immediately booked a taxi to the nearest hotel just to rest. Because it was evening, and it seemed impossible for them to continue their journey into the forest at this time.Arriving at the hotel, they headed to the reception desk. Because it was intended for one night only, so they only booked one room. When the night came, they were very cold because in Brazil it was already winter.Until the next day, Flora and Xander, who had everything ready, immediately ordered a taxi to go to the tropical rain forest. There were no serious conversations on the way, only silence between them. Until they finally arrived at the forest gate that Queen Castalia meant.Both were stunned."You didn't choose the forest wrong, Flo?""No, this is in accordance with what is on the map. The Amazon jungle." Flora answered while looking back at the go
The anaconda is getting closer, Xander advises not to run. Because it's useless, the anaconda is guaranteed to be much faster than the two of them.Then Xander took out a knife from his carrier. He took a lying position flat on the ground, straightened his arms at his sides and pressed his feet together. With great fear, Flora took the position as Xander suggested and they lay down 1 meter apart."Keep your chin in, Flo!" Xander whispered without turning his head.Flora closed her eyes as the anaconda began to touch and climb up past her."Do not panic!" Xander whispered again.Flora was trying not to panic and be afraid, but still sweat the size of a watermelon seed dripping down her entire body. In her life, she had never thought that she would meet a giant snake like this.Flora widened her eyes as the anaconda slowly started to swallow Xander's legs, but strangely the man remained calm. But when the anaconda's mouth reached its knees, Xander bent down and slashed at the side of th
On the second day, Flora and Xander resumed their journey. After packing up the tent and loading all the other items into the carrier, they started walking through the forest. This time, their journey was very slow, more rest. Because Flora's legs were swollen from the snakebite last night.Don't ask how the pain the girl feels. But silence is also not the way out. If she had been in the jungles of Asia, she would have been able to find a Mongoose plant that was proven to be effective in killing the poison that had spread."I seem to be late, Flora. I should have sucked the poison on your leg last night," Xander said breaking the silence."That's not the right way either, Xander. Most people think if it's sucked in or inhaled, the poison will come out, but that's wrong," said Flora breathlessly."Shouldn't we just call the Queen Mother to heal your leg? At this first hurdle, we haven't asked for help." Xander made a suggestion.Flora shook her head. She was indeed very tired, perhaps
"What did you see, Xander?"Xander didn't answer, he continued walking towards behind the bushes. The man was very curious about the leaf he had just seen.Brack!Instead of gaining enlightenment, Xander fell into a three-meter deep pit that contained an ankle-deep murky puddle of water. Flora approached her, she was quite panicked because Xander definitely couldn't get his body out on his own."Sorry, Flora. I actually saw banana leaves behind these bushes, but now they're gone," said Xander regretfully.Flora was starting to feel bad. "Looks like this place will outwit us, Xander.""You mean?""You know, the kingdom of spirits lives in 3 places? Mountains, oceans and jungles.""But I didn't see anything, Flora." Xander even chuckled."Watch out! It's under you!"Xander looked down. It turned out that in the puddle he stepped on there were many small black snakes trying to bite his leg. However, because Xander was wearing knee-high shoes, it made it difficult for the snakes.Not want
"No. I have absolutely nothing to do with him. We're pure friends, White Horse." Flora immediately answered. While Xander just smiled wryly. He felt that Flora's answer was quite painful, even though the beautiful girl answered as it was. True, there is no special relationship between them. But why only considered as friends, there is a feeling of disapproval that rises in the chest. "Yeah, we're just friends, like she said." Xander chimed in. However, the White Horse could see a trace of disappointment on Xander's face. He understood that look, between sadness and disappointment. It's just that the Princess doesn't realize that her friend has feelings for her. Ah ... maybe the White Horse should keep quiet, so that the universe will talk later about the continuation of their relationship. After all, they are different in nature, nature that gives long distances if they really like it. While in her heart, Flora had high hopes, that she and Xander would have a special relationship i
Xander stuttered when he saw the horned creature that Flora was referring to was chasing from the west. Not wanting to die in vain and don't want to ask too many questions, the weak Xander immediately stood up and galloped towards the White Horse, immediately he got on behind Flora.While the white horse asked Flora and Xander to hold on tight, because he was going to run as fast as he could eastward away from the beautiful but mysterious meadows."Stop!!"One of the horned creatures shouted. That creatures was very angry, especially the leader who screamed showing black sharp teeth and salivating disgustingly. However, they still pursued with a high level of pursuit. When compared to the world running champion, the champion is nothing. Because the horned creatures run using superpowers. Not an ordinary run like a human. Therefore, they were not far from the White Horse.Again and again Xander looked back. He was shocked because the creepy creature ran like a hurricane. Three of them
Suddenly they were in the eastern Palouses. When the two of them turned around, the sea that had been stretched wide with the roar of the great waves, disappeared in an instant. And what surprised them was not only the disappearing sea, but the many thousands of horses present in this meadow.They felt strange, even though they had searched for three days in this meadow, but found no results. But when they washed his face with seawater, all the horses were clearly visible. It was as if the existence of this horse was hidden by supernatural powers."Did we not see wrong, Princess?""No, Xander. For three days we have been blindfolded by the horned creature we saw last night, and I only realized it last night because my power which has not fully returned is not enough to see all horned creature tactics." Flora explained."Who are they really, Princess?""They are King Lagarde's men, they already know I'm here.""This is dangerous!""Don't worry, we'll soon find a white horse here.""But
In the middle of the night, Flora returned with grilled meat. What a surprise when she didn't find Xander in the tent. Meanwhile, the carrier that he used to rely on was still there.Where is he going?"Xander?""Xander?!"Flora who was alone in the middle of the meadow shouted for her friend. She frantically searched around her resting place, but she couldn't find Xander at all. He's disappeares. It seemed impossible for Xander to walk alone because his body wasn't feeling well.Did Xander intend to follow Flora out of concern?Or has Xander been eaten by a wild animal? But what animal? Because in this place there are absolutely no animals.Or maybe Xander was kidnapped? Who is it, then? There's no one here at all."Xander? Where are you?!""Xander!!!"The only shortcut to find out Xander's whereabouts is to stare with her powers. Then Flora put her forefingers on her forehead and closed her eyes. One trajectory shot somewhere.Flora stopped her vision, she quickly ran towards the no
"The most beautiful meadows in the world exist in various places, Princess. Which country should we choose?" Xander asked."What country is it in?""There are The Fynbos meadows in South Africa, Hitachi Seaside Park in Japan, The Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, Alpine Mountains in Kyrgyzstan, Semeru Meadows in Indonesia, and many more.""In America?""Yes. The largest prairie in America is the Steppa, which stretches from the tropics to the subtropics where there is not enough rainfall for forest development."Flora was thinking hard about which place to go first out of all the meadows Xander mentioned. "Steppa is the widest, not the most beautiful. I've also read about natural science books."Xander chuckled, he forgot that Queen Phentesilea mentioned the most beautiful meadows."Where?" Flora demanded an answer."Palouses!"Flora squinted. Feeling unfamiliar with the meadow his friend mentioned. Maybe it's because she's never played far away because Lorenza and Jonathan keep cooped
"Yes, Xander. My memory and power have returned, but only half of it, not fully returned yet."Something had changed from the way Flora spoke, her princess aura had returned. Sounds authoritative and looks more charismatic. Not much different from the charisma of Queen Castalia.Xander cupped his hands in front of his chest, paying homage to Princess Anastasya."There's no need to be like that, I'm still your friend. Not a arrogant woman who thirsts to be glorified." Flora adjusted Xander's hand."Okay, then what should I call you? Flora? Or the Princess?""Flora is a name given by Lorenza and Jonathan, they changed my name at will. Actually Flora is a name that has been a disaster for me for a long time, but I still respect that name. Because that name has introduced me to science on earth, including the name Flora has brought me to a good friend like you."Xander scratched his head which was actually not itchy. He was confused now, having found another character in Flora. "Then? Wha
It turned out that when he returned, Xander found his tent surrounded by giant snakes. The man stared wide-eyed at all the possibilities of what had happened to Flora in there.Has the snake eaten its best friend?Xander shook his head. He brushed off the bad thought, but with the snake present there was only a one percent chance that Flora would survive. What's more with his unconscious state.Then he took out the knife from inside his carrier. Slowly he stepped closer to the snake which seemed to be fast asleep. When Xander was in front of the python's face, the egg-laying animal opened its eyes. Xander's agile showed off his sharp blade by moving back and forth ready to fight."Looks like you're back, you slow bastard!"Xander was dumbfounded, his eyes are almost went wide. This snake can also talk just like the monkeys guarding the banana tree."Have you eaten my best friend? Huh?!" Xander snapped. The snake didn't answer, he let go of his body circle from the tent. With a slow
Xander lowered Flora from the tree and carried her into the tent. When he smeared her nose with eucalyptus oil, she didn't wake up. The pulse on her wrist is also very weak, only beating 30 times a minute, while the normal rate for an adult is 60-100 beats per minute.Confused about what to do, Xander had no other choice but to contact Queen Castalia. Immediately he pressed the button on Flora's bracelet to connect to the palace mirror."What's the matter, Xander?"A voice echoed in the forest. It was the voice of Queen Castalia. Xander looked here and there, looking at the roof of the forest, but her mother Flora was not there. Ah ... he forgot, because during the six obstacles, Queen Castalia and Fairy Luna will not appear."Queen Mother, please ... Flora is very weak." he complained."Why is my daughter so weak like that?""She was bitten by a venomous snake and attacked by a lion.""Alright, keep going!""How can we continue our journey, when Flora is like this, Queen Mother?""Le
Yes, Flora knows. Because when dealing with these carnivores, we must keep our eyes fixed and don't take your eyes off. Don't turn around, let alone run. It can be fatal.The lion started to bluff. Then Xander spread his arms as wide as possible, so the lion thought Xander had a big body. Flora also imitated Xander even though she didn't really understand why her friend spread out his arms.But still it did not work for the lion, the animal attacked them both. The target was Flora, the girl stuttered. Cold sweat started to wet her palms. From behind by taking a back stance, Xander took out a gun and started shooting it."Slash, Flo! Slash! Don't stand still!"Flora was silent instead of slashing, her hands were shaking. It's nothing, she can't help but see the scary face of the lion getting closer to her. In fact, Flora was very eager to fight with any creature."Flo? Beat Flo!" Xander shouted again as he continued to shoot at the lion. But in fact the bullet did not work.Unfortunate
