A girl was covering Matthew’s mouth while she desperately looked around. What was she looking out for?
After a while, she took her hand off of Matthew’s mouth.
“Who are you?” Matthew asked her.
The girl was surprised and went into a panic. She was saying something that Matthew did not understand. It sounded like a different language.
Matthew observed her person. Her skin was tanned and she had black hair. There was a crown of flowers on top of her head. Her clothing was simple and made from animal skin. Perhaps a local? She seemed to be around Matthew’s age as well.
Just then he had an idea. He placed his hand on his chest and said his name. “Matthew.”
He was hoping that she would understand his intention.Luckily he picked it up and did the same as him.
“Sasha.” She said while doing th
Matthew, Sasha and Pix arrived at the camp a while later, only to find that everything was in disorder. The furniture were flipped, the cabinets were open and muddy footprints everywhere."What happened here?" Matthew asked no one."I honestly expected worse for a camp." Pix said.Sasha looked at the floor and noticed something. There was a bead the size of a thumb. She picked it up and examined it."This… Is from my people." She said in a gasp."Your people?" Matthew turned to her."Yes, warriors of our tribe wear a bracelet made from these beads tied together."“Warriors huh? By the looks of it, they ransacked this place. What were they looking for?”“They were definitely looking for me. Your friends must’ve gotten into a fight with them before being taken away.”
“Get ready!”The wyrm slithered its way towards the Hunters while roaring. Shim Boon, Izz and Bran prepared for a fight.“Our hands are still bound though!” Bran said.“Then cut it. Izz!”“Right, [Therizino]!” With one callout, Izz’s hands morphed into scythes and simultaneously cut the ropes that were binding his hands. Then he cut Shim Boon’s and Bran’s bindings as well.Just in time for them all to jump out of the way of the wyrm. It crashed into the wall. With it temporarily stunned from the crash, the Hunters took the chance to switch out the canisters of their Managones.Shim Boon took out two yoyos from his pockets. “Bran, where’s your sword?”Bran looked to the place that they just were. His greatsword was lying there on the floor. And nearby
Matthew walked towards the entrance that would lead him to the crystal that he had been looking for. Sasha and Pix were also walking with him.The entrance opened up to a tunnel that was dark. As they went deeper, more and more light particles started appearing and voices also started to whisper something into their ears.“The voices of my sisters. They are questioning why you’re here.” Pix said.“Yeah, I can hear them.” Matthew said.“What’s an outsider doing here?” “Was Gilas slacking off?” “Just get lost already.” “Isn’t that Pix?” “Why did they bring him here?”“They don’t seem to like me though.”“Well, for certain reasons, even I hated you. But the fact that you understood me, us, made me change my mind.”
Matthew, Sasha, Pix and Belle were heading up a flight of stairs. The stairs led to another chamber that had tree roots as a roof. The roots had green glowing veins on it that illuminated the entire chamber.Matthew was nothing but mesmerized looking at the chamber. It was something magical to him, even in this magic filled world.“We’re here.” Belle announced upon arriving.In front of them was a ball of roots that grew out of the ground. It was like a case that was protecting something.“Stand back a bit.” Belle said. Matthew and the others did as told and backed away. Then, Belle spread her arms out and began chanting something.Once she was done, she fell silent for a moment. Then she turned around to face them. “I’m sorry. It seems that Yggdrasil doesn’t want to meet you.”“Eh, really?” Ma
The village chief, Samon, and his son, Simon, were gathered at the village entrance along with a few other villagers. And in front of them was a group of five people all clad in black clothing.“Chief, trust me. You do not want to try to stop us.” Azazel said.“You are threatening my people and you just told us that you are to take the crystal. Of course I won’t trust the likes of you!” The chief strictly said.“Chief, even if you take us on with your entire village, it’ll only be your loss.”The chief did not say anything back. Even though he could not sense any aura, he could very much tell that these people were not lying.“Father!” Sasha shouted as she came closer to the gathering.Samon looked at his daughter with worry. “Sasha, what are you doing here? It’s dangerous!”
At the arena, Gilas was met with Belle who flew as fast as she could before the mercenaries could arrive. Pix, who was with Gilas, saw her queen coming and quickly flew to her.“Your majesty!”“Queen of fairies, are you okay?” Gilas asked.“Yes I am. There is a group of mercenaries headed this way.”“Mercenaries?”“Yes. Matthew is on his way as well. I don't know what he plans on doing, but you, Gilas, will have to hold off those mercenaries until he gets here.”“I will.”“Pix, gather all the fairies. We also have to do something. After that, go get Matthew’s friends at the campsite. You know where it is, right?” Belle ordered Pix.“Yes, right away!” Pix executed the order and went on her way.&ld
“It’s easier to tell when the person following us is someone familiar. Crymillia.”Crymillia walked out into the light and faced Azazel. “Lucifer, we’ve only dated for like, a few months.”“Your dad was much sharper than I thought.”“We’re beings of eternal life.” Crymillia started getting closer to Azazel. “While he’s gone, don’t you think we could… Have some fun? Like we used to.” She said with a seductive voice.Azazel pushed her away. “I don’t have time for that. Besides, you don’t even mean that.”Crymillia chuckled. “I would if you accepted it. Anyway, what brings you here?”“The same reason as you. I assume you were told of this by an old woman.” Azazel said with a questioning tone.&ldquo
The villagers were led by Simon into battle. Matthew was also with them. They were running towards the arena together.Simon relayed some order to the other villagers. Matthew still did not understand what they were saying. He could only figure something out from their gestures and tone of speech.Not long after, Matthew and the villagers came across two people in black outfits. One was a human and the other was an elf.Matthew recognised them. Jovanic, an elven warrior mage, and Marlin, a Supreme class mage. These were indeed formidable opponents. He felt stupid for even asking Draco about his chances.Jovanic spoke to them in a different language which sounded like a warning. Matthew thought that he was talking nonsense. That was until Simon actually talked back to him. Matthew was stunned and confused.“Ancient elven language. Not too different from modern elven, but the
