I turned to Adrina next who was helping to heal our injured comrades, she was with Dana. She is not using her power because there are other creatures now and I also know she is not completely healed yet so she is not trying. She would just drain her gathered strength with the rest she made in the last few days.
From what I see of them all now, it seems like it just happened normally. Like it was so typical for them to face a dangerous situation like this. Indeed, we will be sad whenever we lose something but because we are warriors, we will once again go on with our lives as if nothing had happened. But we know in ourselves that grief will be left in our hearts once the battles are done.
I suppressed the eruption of my emotions, making myself look strong. I cannot deny it that I am the reason why this happened today, why the soldiers rushed here. They did not even know the reason for the attack but I knew they had an idea that I was also involved in it because I arrive
AS SOON as the sun rose, I gathered my comrades in front of our fort. Everything is complete. Some are sitting on the ground, talking while others are looking at me with curious eyes.I averted my eyes. I was currently sitting on a large log in front of them, my elbows resting on my thighs where I just watched my hands clasped. I thought deeply, repeatedly asking myself if this was all right. Is it right for me to decide like this?But eventually I gasped and turned my gaze back to them. It is also for their sake so I would never hesitate. I stood up. Tre reason why I caught their attention.I gathered all the courage I could before I spoke, "I am setting you free," I uttered as firmly as I could. The truth is that I was hurt by what I have said but I will not take it back. I really want to set them free in this life of ours, because I do not want them to perish again. So that they can live freely in another place or better in another kingdom. And for their sake
THAT MORNING we had a little farewell party, and chatted until nightfall.We are currently sitting around a large fire, reliving all the memories, whether happy or sad. This was our last night in this place so we made the most out of it. I join in the conversation but oftenly, I just watch them. I will never get tired of doing this for a lifetime.I will never forget these people. Wherever I go after tonight, I will bury all the memories with them, the family I built.The others were chatting happily so I took this chance to leave without them noticing. I walked to the side of our fort, where no one could see me. I just sat on a large log and surveyed the trees around. Later on, I looked at the moon. It was not as bright as the other nights but it was still shining, looking gloomy as I was.I do not know how I would feel at the thought that this would be the last night I would be with them. I am sad but calm because I know everything will improve after th
I HAVE no difficulty carrying a large sack of fruit to the market in Ohayas, the town where I currently live. I come from the orchard where I work, bringing fruits to the market. This is also the job I chose because of my power, the unique inherent strength.I forgot to put this one sack on the cart I brought this morning to the market so now I just picked it up, letting it sit on my shoulder. Of all the things I can forget, it was this biggest sack! I smirked angrily, staring at the road. I have not really forgotten it, I know everything I brought before is complete. Frida just put it lastly to torture me. She is the young daughter of the owner of the plantation where the sack came from and I do not know why her blood is boiling on me even though I have not done anything to her. I do not even pay attention to her sometimes because it is not necessary.
"Casias!" he said with a nervous tone of voice.I would have ignored that but I could feel the fear in his voice. It also caught my attention because Matias' name sounded like the name he mentioned.I slowly turned around to look there. Rowan scrambled out of the store to confront the one he called, the man who led the group. My forehead furrowed when I saw the man violently grab Rowan's clothes to bring it closer to him. The latter looked very scared."Did you think I did not know you had not paid your rent on this seat this month?!" he said in a very serious tone with his ever so deep voice. I can clearly hear and see everything because I am not far from them.Rowan's fear was further heightened by what the gentleman had said.
"ARE YOU underestimating me? Are you underestimating me?" Said Vivi repeatedly. He landed on the far side of the fruit basket while watching what I was doing."Vivi," I muttered. I turned to him and looked at him sharply. Sometimes this bird is really annoying. Could he not forget what the foolish Casias said earlier.When he stopped I looked at Rowan for a moment before continuing what I was doing, picking up fruits and utensils because of the mess that had happened earlier. I noticed that he seemed irritated by what the bird was saying.I sighed as I put the last piece of apple in its basket. Thankfully, it had not been too bruised from its fall earlier. His trembling hands grabbed my attention. Probably still scared to this day."A
THE NEXT day, I had only a small amount of fruit to take to the market, so I stopped using the cart. I let out a sigh of relief before effortlessly lifting the sack and placing it on my shoulder.“I heard you helped Rowan yesterday at the market when Casias harassed her,” Frida said next to me. She is the one who takes care and lists the number of fruits in the sack so she is now in the orchard.I turned to face her. I would never really pay attention to her but because she is talking to me, I have to answer her. Otherwise, she will be annoyed with me again and I may come back here for another sack of fruit."Yes, Frida," I answered sparingly.She raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. "It is a good thing I ordered you to bring a sack of fruit there at that time. If not for me, Rowan would have been doomed," she said with an arrogant air in her voice. I just nodded in agreement.I also have no intention of opposing her because it will
HE QUICKLY grabbed my clothes by the shoulder and squeezed his face close to mine. I did not move, instead, I just stared blankly at him."That is all you did but if you brag about it like you can beat me now.""That is all?" I said with a sarcastic tone. I came closer to him to show that I was not intimidated, but rather challenged by him. "You underestimate what I did even though it left a mark on your face. Why? Did any other young lady do that to you besides me?" I grabbed his hand tightly and forbade him to take it away from me. "And yes, I can beat you even if we fight over and over again."I quickly kicked the dagger of one of his companions when it charged at me. It flew into the air. I caught him and I circled away from them. I turned to face Casias again, he stopped right at me when I threw the dagger at him.It cut a few strands of his hair before it sank into the tree just behind him. I smiled which made him stop even more."What can yo
INSTEAD OF going straight to my home, I made my way to the beach. It was far away from where I came from but I could not feel the distance I walked because I was talking to Vivi. He says anything and everything now, seems to be getting more comfortable in this town as well."The blue ocean! The blue ocean!" his lively tone echoed in my ear. Free as he flew in the wide sky, there were also different kinds of birds passing so I smiled watching Vivi who seemed to be chasing them.The strong wind blew my long hair and as I inhaled it, I could smell its salty breeze. I came even closer to the eternal looking ocean. It seemed to be a reflection of the sky, deep blue. I also took off my footwear so I could feel the fine and white sand on it more.I felt even more relieved at the sight. "I hope it is always like this," I whispered into the air. "No bitterness and sorrow."I sat in front of the clean ocean and surveyed the whole place. The waves were not very stro
