Leon doesn’t know what to believe anymore. It seemed that the Emily in front of him right now was not the true Emily he used to know. Yes, they look exactly the same but he feels so different with this woman trying to persuade him to drop his mission.Although, he knows that Emily would also like him to return as soon as possible. But she knows how important this mission is for Leon and she will surely respect it unlike what she was trying to do at this moment.“Are you Emily or are you just pretending to be her?” asked Leon with a creased forehead.The woman’s face turned serious and her grip on his arms started to get tighter and tighter until Leon was getting hurt already. But the woman doesn’t give a damn care instead her eyes are sharpened.“Are you accusing me of lying? You just gone for months and now you have totally changed Leon! You are not the Leon who is willing to sacrifice for me and my daughter anymore!” the woman snorted.Instead of feeling pity for the woman, Leon’s i
“Quench the flames and turn the page…” Leon nods as he deciphers the riddle like he usually does. However, after he took the Volcano Stone and held it in his hands. He heard a wild noise and the land where he was standing was shaken up.Leon was startled and he got alarmed, sensing a potential trouble approaching him. “Oh God, where was that noise coming up? Did I just wake up a beast when I touched the stone?” asked Leon with so much confusion evident in his face.“We thought you were a trustworthy human but you actually wanted to steal our precious belongings here?” Leon was terrified when he realized where was the noise coming from.It was from the hissing Komodo dragons who seemed furiously mad because of what he did. They are the guardians of the lava chamber on this mountain so apparently, they will think that Leon was stealing the magical stone from them.“Oh no, I’m not stealing the stone from you. Actually, I’m on a mission to collect these precious stones in different locat
Leon can’t explain his excitement as he travels back home. He has been waiting for this moment for so long; Emily and Sarah are awaiting his return too.Honestly, he has been longing to see them, especially the woman since Emily has been haunting his mind even in his dream. He simply smiled with that silly thought.When he reached the cottage, he stretched his arms as his eyes lit up. “There’s no place like home!” Leon was delighted because he could finally have a real and long rest after traversing for months outside.“Leon!” the woman shouted. Emily who was busy watering her plants in the garden was thrilled to see him again after months of being away.Emily ran to him and embraced him tightly. Leon was taken aback and the woman’s gesture ignited his heart. “I’m glad you came back safe and sound,” said Emily with a sweet voice.“Yes, I was so fortunate to survive all that quest. Also, I’m glad to be back with good news. I was able to complete my task so my mission is a success!” Leo
Leon was somehow expecting the bad news to come, but hearing about Lord Rosenber’s name made the situation worse. He can do anything to find the stones despite risking his life but knowing that it was already in the enemy’s possession, he can’t help but get so worried about it. Being fully aware of what it takes to have the magical stones, makes him anxious if the stones are in the enemy’s hands.“So what should we do?” asked Leon with a worried voice. If Lord Rosenberg already had the Mushroom Stone in his hand, then he would definitely be a deadly opponent once he also obtained the Snake Stone; and that was exactly what Leon and Morrison should never let happen at any cost.“You should know what we exactly need to do, Leon. We can’t let the Snake Stone end up on Lord Rosenber’s hands or else it will be doom for all of us. You need to find the stone before he does,” said Morrison sternly and his eyebrows are straight.Leon was somehow frightened by his mentor’s voice. It seemed tha
However, Leon frowned when he noticed that something was different about this Medusa. In her eyes were small bright red gems, but in the middle of her eyes was a magically glowing oval stone.“What is this?” Leon asked as he stepped forward to further check the Medusa.At this time, the orange stone stood out, and Leon pried it away from the statue of Medusa within the shrine.Just then, he felt himself getting sucked into the marshes, as he felt a hissing sound coming from all around him:“In the mire where serpents hide, seek the scales where waters bind. Whisper secrets, truth as a guide, and the stone shall be your pride.”“Oh no, what is going on? I should not let myself get sucked into the marshes!” Leon tried his best to lift himself.But aside from getting away with his current situation, he needs to process the riddle in his mind; so he must get a grip, or else all his efforts will go to waste!Leon thrived harder to prevent him from falling into the rabbit hole. He comes bac
At last, Leon has gained 11 out of 12 stones that he has to acquire. After completing his task in the marshy realm, he immediately set out to return home again. He was so excited and worried simultaneously because the last time he left the cottage, he knew that he made Emily upset with him.“I hope everything is going well at home.” Leon sighed and he couldn’t help but get worried. Although, he knows that Emily is a smart woman. She will understand his situation eventually. The emotions were just high at that time since she was affected by her adopted daughter’s sickness too.Leon was surprised to see his teacher outside when he reached the cottage. Morrison looks so serious and exhausted, and when their eyes meet, Leon immediately knows that they have something to talk about.“How was your mission? Have you successfully collected the Snake Stone?” asked Morrison with a stern voice.Leon smiled and replied. “Yes, professor. I’m back with this good news so I hope you will be happy for
Emily screamed, and Leon jumped up quickly and dove towards the place where Sarah had disappeared.But even after he had searched the whole area around the pond, there was no sign of Sarah anywhere.“Did you find here?” Emily came to him and asked him with teary eyes. The woman was so afraid that her daughter might be missing but they were not able to know where to find her. She was still in a state of shock as they were just enjoying their picnic together a while ago and now the little girl was nowhere to be found all of a sudden.“Not yet, but I will do my best to find her. Don’t worry too much, okay?” Leon comforts her.He knows how vulnerable she can be when it comes to her adopted daughter, and it will also affect her mental stability Leon doesn’t want to let the anxiety ruin Emily’s way of thinking and decision-making.Leon tried to look for the little girl again hoping he could find her this time. Emily was also looking around, screaming her name but her voice had become hoars
Based on their faces, Morrison can assess that something must be wrong. “What happened? Is everything okay? And where is…” Professor Alpha asked worriedly.Just then, something clicked in his mind and he stared at Emily’s swollen eyes and Leon’s worried face again. Perhaps something bad happened to the little girl. That was what Morrison concluded in his mind but he wanted to wait for them to confirm it.And that was when Leon spoke up and said: “Sarah… she was kidnapped,” he informed him hoarsely and he seemed too weak to admit it.Hearing it, Morrison’s eyes widened as if his world turned upside down. Also, this announcement triggers a fresh set of tears from Emily.“Yes, you heard it right, mister. My daughter is missing and it was all because of me…” she started blaming herself again.Leon held her arms and he comforted her again. It was also hard for him to see the woman suffering but he can’t do anything to bring back the little girl since he also can’t find her anywhere.“Pleas
