Harold's eyes widened when he saw his two children running over. The man spontaneously dropped the ax in his hand and rubbed his eyes to make sure. His tired face was radiant, his eyes sparkled as he smiled very broadly, then stretched out his arms to hug his two children until they almost fell to his knees.
"You guys back! Oh, thank goodness you came home! I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry. I shouldn't have left you there, what a fool dad I am." Harold continued to chatter in the hug.
Phillip and Lillian were too glad to answer, it was clear that their father had no intention of kicking them out. He loved them and always will be. Both of them burst into tears. Yes, both of them. Phillip hated to admit it, as a big brother he didn't want to look whiny, but after they had been through a lot, he missed his father so much that he didn't care about anything else. Harold let go of his hug to stare at his children's faces.
“From now on you won't be anywhere, no matter
Far enough for the Grace siblings to walk into the forest, Phillip is still holding onto his sister who was silent all the way. They didn't know where to go, Phillip had intended to meet Wiggy in the Northern Territory, but unfortunately, he didn't remember the way. Phillip only remembered the direction of the cliff where they first landed, again Lillian made the right decisions to walk and made a trail rather than flying. With the help of these traces, he led his sister to the cliff, maybe they could reunite with Wiggy. They reached the top of the cliff after teetering uphill. Lillian preceded her brother, leaning against the tree trunk, the ground where they had fallen dragged on was still visible. Phillip followed his sister who was cupping her face on her knees. "Don't worry, Lill, we will back, I'll figure out how. Meanwhile, we stay in this forest and make plans." Phillip's eyes stared straight ahead. The sun was about to set, it is slow-motion bringing all the
Along the way, Wiggy talked about how he met the Northern Falsies, built a place to live together, even told the bad habits of his most insignificant people. Sometimes he laughed at his jokes and nudged Phillip to join in the laugh, although the young man mostly responded with sighs, or rolled his eyes. In contrast to his sister who is always enthusiastic about whatever Wiggy says. For Lillian, Wiggy is a funny young man, reminding her of a friend she never had.“You know, my Pixie can show direction. If they went somewhere, they would never forget the route, they were like a flying map that gave off light. That's why I can walk around the forest without getting lost.” Wiggy keeps on babbling. “One little secret that would have pissed off my cousin if he found out. I can never read star clusters. I mean, what is there to see from the tiny dots in the sky? It was ridiculous, and it made my neck stiff from looking up too long. So, the Pixies are always by my s
The Warehouse room's door suddenly opened roughly. Wiggy and Phillip swiftly pull their swords, but what comes out of there is just a bunch of female Elves. The number of female Elves was very small, maybe less than twenty, and they had never been taught to use weapons, there was nothing they could do but hide. The female Elves immediately approached their Leader and scrambled to hug him while crying complaining about what had happened."Thank goodness you all survived. Are you all right? Is anyone hurt?" asked Wiggy, examining their bodies one by one.Phillip was amazed. It was also revealed why Wiggy was so idolized even though the young man was annoying to death. Well, only Phillip found Wiggy annoying so far."What's going on here?" Wiggy repeated his question.The Elves began to tell stories, but neither Wiggy nor Phillip understood what they were saying. Although a little, their voices were so loud, they sounded more like swarms of mosquitoes in sum
The Gnomes march up the hill with lanterns made of fireflies. Among the many Gnomes lined up irregularly, six Ogres raised a large throne of Edmund the King of the South, as well as a Troll at his side. No need to wonder how Edmund got the Gnomes to serve him. Gnomes are potential creatures who are not very intelligent. They get very upset when they don't have a leader.When Edmund came along with the monstrous creatures who bowed to him, with a majestic golden crown perched on his head. Without any pressure, the Gnomes were already prostrate at Edmund's feet. They promised to serve and do whatever he ordered, including the ritual of spiritual awakening. So they flocked to the knights' Hill in the full moonlight. Do not forget to bring all the equipment for séances such as wide-tufted hats, copper incense, and charcoal descendants of the Gnome ancestors who are 3000 years old.Arriving at the top of the hill, they immediately made a big circle. Edmund and the Og
"Edmund, you are still as handsome as the first time we met," said the woman with a flirtatious tone. "Even you got taller."Edmund frowned. "Who are you?"“You don't recognize me? Oh, how rude!"The woman budge, suddenly her white skin turned red with wrinkles, her nose stretched and bent like a rotten banana, her purple bead gleaming even more in the moonlight. Edmund was surprised, suddenly took a few steps back.“Georgina! What do you want?"“Hush ... Georgina was my name 100 years ago. For now, my name changed to Miranda. Besides, your attitude should be more polite to someone who has made you a Falsie."Edmund squinted. "I don't want to know what your name is. Just tell me why are you coming to me again?"“You don't even want to hug me first? It's been a while since the South-North raid we haven't played together, right?”For the answer, Edmund gripped the hilt of his sword. Threatening.
On the night after Edwig's coronation as crown prince, the kingdom feasted, praising how handsome and charismatic their future king was. The people rejoiced, making him the star of the event, even though the crown prince himself did not feel the same joy. Edwig looked around for his brother who didn't show up, then let out a disappointed sigh. His brain was filled with Edmund's vision throughout the event. How that young man screamed, kicked the vessel, and the worst was his hateful gaze. Imagine that gaze would be there forever was truly terrifying.On the other hand, the same thing was felt by Edmund, only slightly different. The image of his brother who would later become King could not disappear from Edmund's head. He didn't even want to be in the palace which he thought was treasonous. That night the prince fled to be alone in his secret place — a small gap in a giant oak tree in the middle of the forest — for the first time, Edmund cried as he had never crie
Turning North, far away from where the Gnomes were performing the rituals, Wiggy was busy writing letters. So hurried that the writing looks more like a tangled thread. Lillian offered to help, the girl could write fast, and of course much tidier. After a day of clean up the ruined palace together, a potluck dinner of wild tubers, finally the triad had free time to write the letters. Wiggy folded all the letters carelessly, then put them in an envelope glued with red wax."What are we going to do with the letters?" asked Lillian."We will send it to my other people." Wiggy pulled out a flute, played several notes. As usual, a large number of Pixies gathered immediately, buzzing awaiting orders.Phillip helped clear the stationery off the table. "You mean the dwarf?""Also the fauns." Wiggy handed one letter each to the Pixie gang of about five or six, then ordered them to deliver the letters immediately. "If war really broke out, we would need a lot of tr
The sun was rising from the East, lightening the North where conditions were much better, although scorched stains were still visible on most of the treehouses, likely to be permanent. The triumvirate looks ready to continue its journey. After yesterday's tiring day, the three of them slept soundly no matter what the base was, even Phillip felt his wooden bed as a mattress with the best quality cotton. For the first time, they wake up early feeling fit and fresh. The three of them prepared themselves, wearing knit hats and thick scarves, both of which were brown. Lillian now has two scabbards stuck on the left and right sides of her hips. Wiggy approached the female Elves who sent them off.“Please fix this place, when the others wake up, immediately tell them to prepare. I have called all the Northern people to come here, we will need a lot of room and food.” The female Elves nodded, then saluted briefly. "I'm sure I can count on you. And remember, don't mess wit
"Keep believing, then one day your wish will come true"Gray clouds rolled in the sky, moving sluggishly with the gusts of wind that froze to the bone. No one could see, behind the thick clouds thousands of stars were scattered, twinkling like gems. If you look closely, two special stars differ, because of their size and their glow. One smaller, one bigger, side by side as if holding hands.It happens very rarely, very, very rarely. It was said that when the two stars appeared, someone special from Neverland was visiting. White blankets covered the entire city of London, they even covered the tower of Big Ben like a hat, making the seconds muffled even though they still sounded faint. The long hand points to twelve, while the shorthand points to ten. Evening.Activity on the main road has been very quiet, only a few cars still dare to roam the slippery asphalt in winter. London had not changed since the last time Peter had visited. I don't know when it was, he c
The Advantage of Two PrincesIn the past few months, the scene every morning in the Southern Kingdom was dominated by elves working full of joy. Repainting, updating foundations, mowing down parasite plants, sewing window curtains. Everything that can be changed for the better they will do without being asked. The Elves work every day from early morning until late at night, even they take the initiative to change working hours so that renovation activities do not stop for a full 24 hours. Thanks to the Elves, the Southern Palace had almost returned to its new look in just three months. The Southern Palace became clean, sturdy, and luxurious, as a Palace should be.However, there is one room that has never been renovated once, namely the top room in the tallest tower, aka Edmund's room. Every time the Elves tried to get in, Edmund would yell at them, sending the poor Falsies into a frenzy. Before, no one had ever dared to enter Edmund's room even in their imaginations.
Louise's steps echoed as she climbed the glass-clear steps one by one. Unusually, the Lady was not wearing her oversized armor. The girl was wearing a simple long orange dress, her golden hair was neatly tied, leaving a strand of hair on both sides which made her pouting face look a little cuter. It's not easy to make a Lady Louise from Silverwall look feminine. Thirty minutes ago, Pepa and the other four Fairies under the care of Angel Tiffany had to fight hard to put all these things on Louise's body who was constantly struggling to protest."We're asking for just this one day, Lady...""It's better to cut off my leg than to have to use that torture tool!" Louise screamed as soon as she was asked to wear high heels.Eventually, the Elves gave in, then allowed Louise to wear calf-length cloth boots. The girl also repeatedly rubbed her red lip color roughly, too¬ rejecting the blush on her cheeks. The only feminine thing that Louise volunteered to wear was a
The moon looks graceful perched in the clear sky, some thin clouds cover, instead of disturbing it even adds to its beauty. More and more hopes for Phillip when doing his hobby looking up at the night sky. Either the brightest twinkling star, a transparent wall, or land above the clouds. The difference is, there is no sadness or tears this time, only hope and a lot of longing. Someone dragged a stool next to him and sat down with him. Lillian is also one of the reasons why Phillip has been crying less and less lately, the burden on his heart feels a lot lighter when he shares it with his little brother."Missed him again?" whispered the girl."Every night ...."Lillian looked hesitant to speak but finally got up the courage. “Phill, can I ask you something? I've wanted to ask this for a long time.""What is that? Just say it."“Um… Louise said what when she finished hugging and kissing your cheek.”Phillip turned his
An arrow shot so fast that it looked like a flash of shadow. It bounced off the ground not far from a forest squirrel, which flew away as another arrow hit the oak trunk. Twice escape from death was enough to convince the squirrel to return to its nest in the top of the pine tree. Two men approached each of their arrows, one of them picked an arrow from the ground, while the other one who looked older just lamented at his arrow, it pierced too deep into the trunk of a tree, it took the strength of a giant to pull it out.“At least mine landed closer to the squirrel. Your aim sucks, is it because you cut your hair, huh?” said the curly-haired youth while making a grin that could irritate his interlocutor."Judging from the strength of the stick on the trunk of this tree, my arrows would have killed the squirrel if it hit. While yours is bouncing on the ground, the squirrel will just feel like it's being massaged." The icy-blue-eyed man smiled no less satisfi
The sun was always shining brightly in Silverwall City, a cool breeze wafted the triangular flag on the roof of the knights' tents. A series of white clouds decorated the sky as if celebrating the happy ending. When Miranda vanishes and the sun rises majestically, the exiled Falsies lose hope and decide to retreat, deeper into the unspoiled West of Tomer Forest. That way, the Northern Falsies and the knights knew they had won. Trumpets sounded, accompanied by cheers of grateful joy.Tomer Forest was illuminated by the morning sun, showing clearly the impact of such a terrible war. The corpses were scattered, weapons with no masters were piled up covered in blood, and many plants, especially giant trees, were destroyed horribly. Hard work awaits, little by little all the chaos will be resolved. However, the first thing the knights of Silverwall and the Northern Falsies did was offer condolences to those who died. The extinction of the Gnomes and Fauns was the most heartbreakin
Miranda felt the temperature around her rise until her whole body was sweating. So hot, almost unbearable. The woman noticed, apart from the purple glow, a golden yellow light also dominated her, even brighter and almost like the heat of the sun. The glow in Miranda's hands shrunk to the size of a marble, then popped like bubbles. The magician turned with his head up, then was stunned with wide eyes. The perfect circle in the sky was no longer black for some time, but all of its light was only directed at Miranda, it looked like a glowing bridge to heaven.However, that's not what makes the magician not move. A woman came down from the bridge of light, her dress was wide covering her legs, dominated by shimmering white and gold, with a collar that flaunted two delicate and beautiful shoulders. Her shiny black hair fell to her ankles, swelled as if she were underwater, as did her entire body. Every inch of the figure above was perfect, but that beautiful appearance also looked
Phillip's ears were ringing, his eyes were blurry as he looked around with narrowed eyes. Lillian and dad, that's what's on his mind right now. As soon as the ringing in his ears subsided, Phillip heard a woman's moans and became very panicked. However, he soon found his sister kneeling in front of their father, looking fine. Phillip rushed over to find his father passed out on his stomach."Phillip, help me turn Father!" Lillian exclaimed when she noticed her sister's presence. Without further ado, they turned Harold over together, then Lillian took out a bottle of healing potion to pour into her father's mouth. "Father's head hit a pretty big rock.""Is dad hurt?" asked Phillip, his hands busy wiping his sister's gritty face."It doesn't look too seriously other than a bump.""Thank God. I have to find another one. You please take care of Father, if you can move a little to the side."As soon as Lillian nodded, the young man hurriedly got up to c
The clatter of horseshoes one after another filled the void of the night, the moon faithfully following their journey even without light. Miranda, up there was still flapping with Edmund in her arms. The lush trees began to dwindle, replaced by a stretch of cliffs. Some are very tall, but some are just piles of flat stones. The three horses climbed the small hills that also dominated the land in the area.Their journey just ended when Miranda decided to stop at one of the high cliffs and immediately shrunk her bat wings. The woman gasped for air, her body turned completely red and covered in wattles. The sorceress tried to hide her surprise when she turned around to find her enemies still following her. He tucked his hair behind his ear, cleared his throat with his trademark smile.“You guys are just in time to witness our wedding! After my full strength is restored, it is you who have the honor of tasting it first!”“There is no reason to end
