There were many people and creatures in the kingdom. They also came in different appearances and sizes. Well, he was used to seeing only humans. And maybe some fire slimes. But what he just saw was very different from the usual creatures he had seen.
"What is that?!" Usha perked up. He jumped down the crate and immediately ran.
Barun noticed the kitten running away. "Usha? Guard, please stop for a while. My kitten has run off."
The guard did stop and he looked at Barun. His eyes looked like about to roll in slight annoyance, but he fought it. "Where to?"
Barun pointed at a direction and the guard turned to look. He raised his eyebrows as he saw the scene unfolded.
There was a giant blue rabbit carriage at the side of the street, beside a clothing store. The driver was chatting with the seller of a juice stand nearby, and his rabbit was left to eat lunch. Usha approached the giant rabbit that was eating in its through. He stopped beside the through a
"He had just been here?" Darrion asked the guard with a surprise look on his face.The guard nodded. "Yes. Like I said, he was just here, asking me if he could go outside for some air. I told him about the storm and he seemed disappointed. I can see he's sweating so much though."Darrion sighed inwardly and looked down, trying to hold his own disappointment."Do you know where did he go after this?" Darrion asked.The guard shook his head. "I'm not really sure, though I told him that–"But Darrion cut him with a simple "Thanks" before he turned around and left.The guard watched his retreating back and muttered to himself. "You didn't let me finish... Oh well. They'll meet soon. No one is allowed in or out anyway," the guard shrugged, still not getting the connection was about although they had interrogation before.Darrion walked in a normal pace when he passed by the restaurant. He didn't want to make them panic. He would keep his panic st
Jai and Darrion sprinted to the air docks. As much as Jai doesn't like this, he had to hold on. This problem had took some parts of his mind that he couldn't focus as much as he wanted to be.He didn't know why Torfo's assistant stole whatever that relic is from the mausoleum and why. But he was most concern about the Matron and the kids. With the culprit still not found, their safety is a bit at risk. And Jai hated the possibility of anyone using kids as bargain, or anything related that's not supposed to be acted upon.They skidded past the tomb chambers and arrived before the white barrier on the giant door. It was very quiet and no one else was there in the tomb chambers."Why is there no one else here?" Jai asked in confusion.Both he and Darrion looked outside of the barrier. It was dark outside, and there were no lamps lit. But despite that, there was still a faint moonlight that could outline the ship quite a bit. The sails were kept folded
Jai and Darrion flew past the main hallway of the Iron Wing and entered the garden.“Do you where the roof is?” Darrion asked as they stopped at the garden.Jai pointed to a direction right of the Falcon Wing entrance and they literally flew over the river so high.With how high they were flying, it’s impossible not to notice. Both of the guards by the Falcon Wing entrance yelled at them from below, but they were a bit inaudible due to Jai being too focused. Darrion was the one who heard that instead, and he howled a “Sorry!” that echoed all the way to them.They landed in front of the door and immediately entered through. Jai hurriedly climbed up the stairs while Darrion followed suit.“How do you know this is the way?” Darrion asked.“I’ll tell you later,” Jai said as he hurried his pace.When they reached the top of the stairs, they could feel the wind blowing quite hard. Jai immediately turned and just stood there with his mouth agape.
Jai and Darrion landed on the ground, right beside Yaju. The electricity roaming around the poor guy's body lit up their surroundings a bit and both guys could see his body twitching. It soon faded away as the electricity also receded."Do you think he's dead?" Darrion asked in curiosity.Jai slapped his hand lightly. "Shh. Don't say things like that," Jai said while kneeling beside Yaju."Sorry. I mean, you did shot him that he fell to the ground," Darrion said while rubbing his hand in reflex."But he's lucky he fell to 'this' ground, and not 'that' ground," Jai gestured to the edge of the cliff. "It's grassy here," Jai added while reaching for the guy's neck to check his pulse.Darrion walked to the edge of the high ground. When the thunder flashed again, he noticed that the place could indeed be called a cliff with how high the place is and how rocky the area below them is. He fl
Darrion sighed satisfyingly as he rested his head on the table. "I've never lose my manner until now. Please forgive me Teacher Rissiya."Teacher Rissiya covered her lips and giggled. "You don't need to hold back just because a beautiful lady is in front of you."Darrion smiled but he did not look at anyone. "Yes. To anything you just said."His response made the others laugh."Do you want a second serving, Jai?" Teacher Rissiya asked. Darrion seemed like he's already full, so she's asking Jai instead who was still munching on his baked fish.Jai raised his eyebrows in surprise and amusement. He grinned. "Another serving? I'm already at my fourth, Ma'am.""You can ask for one more serving, Jai," Carrola said. But Jai chuckled and shook his head."No, thank you. I'm good," Jai said before finishing his fish and taking a sip of his mint tea."Good evening! Can we get a cup of water for this cute lady over here?" A voice echoed
Torfo clenched and unclenched his fist. His teeth gritting against each other behind his closed lips. His eyes constantly darted to the unconscious young man on the makeshift bed on the floor and his white knuckles. He was angry.'Why did father want you to come with me? Why do I have to bring you here? You humiliated me in front of these highly esteemed people,' The white haired young man thought as he looked towards the unconscious man in anger.His mind was racing as he thought of the reason why his assistant did something like this.He hit the desk lightly a few times, trying his very best to hold back his anger.The door opened and the teachers and the Minister walked in. Torfo took a deep breath and tried to be calm. He then looked up and met the gaze of the Minister.The teachers sat down in the benches around while the Minister took a seat across from him in the front of the room."Torfo," the Minister greeted. His signature smile
The third day passed with a very hectic event. Everyone in the mausoleum worked hard. Monks, nuns, teachers, also the winners of the tournament. They tried their best in managing the peaceful environment and the security in the mausoleum. The storm was hard on everyone, and everyone was spent. But two certain winners of the tournament was the most spent of them all.The helped in catching the thief even though they weren’t asked to. They weren’t even involved in the first place. But their inner heart could not stand knowing that there is a possibility of children being the burnt end of the match. So they involved themselves. They took it upon themselves to protect the children and their mother even though they weren’t asked to. They were caught in the end, but instead of getting an earful, they were asked to help in continuing what they were doing.It was seriously just a coincidence that they caught the real culprit. Of course, suspicion was thrown, but it was also with
While the participants were studying, there was another activity going on in another room. It was a certain activity involving the problem that had been going on in the mausoleum lately.Yaju’s consciousness was triggered when he felt his feet freezing. He got up with a jolt and immediately retracted his feet.“Cold!” he shouted.The nun who was tending him retracted as well and the guards were instantly on alert. One of them pulled the nun back behind them and raised their weapons towards the young man on the ground.Yaju gradually gained his awareness as he rubbed on his feet to make them warm. He noticed he was on a pile of puffy leathers that could be considered as a makeshift bed, on the floor. He then looked around, finding that there were four other people in the room and they were all looking at him. He knew one of the people, though, and he wished he wasn’t here.“Finally up, hm?” a heavy and ruffy, but masculine, voice asked.Yaju gazed
