Chapter 15: HuntersI am in front of my mirror looking at myself. I am wearing a white satin shirt with black jacket and pants that I partnered in long boots with two inch heels. It is twelve midnight and an hour ago Shiloh came into my room to inform me that we will be leaving today. I don't know how to react since I know that the day after tomorrow is the day that we will be leaving the Cravens manor. I have so many plans for tomorrow as I wanted to tell Elon the real me. I am planning to tell him my past so that before I leave I have gotten to lighten up my feelings. And one more thing is no one inside the manor except for Shiloh know that I will be leaving. I sighed loudly before sitting down on my bed. I look for the bags that are full of my clothes. Shiloh said that I should bring clothes that are good for one week. I asked why all of a sudden we were leaving the manor and he just said that the earlier is the better. He also showed me the letter given by the council and it was
Chapter 16: Priest We are seated in a large sedimentary rocks near the sea. The cut in my neck became exquisite, which is why Shiloh decided to stay here for a while. He cleaned my woods using the herbals he found near the forest to the Erythraean Sea. He cleaned it using the water we bought for drinking. I said to him that we shouldn't waste the water left in us since we don't know where we will ever reach our destinations. I mean we have sea water in front of us so why would you waste water that we are consuming? He just looked at me like I was the stupidest person he had ever met. “Stupid! Sea water is not good for your wounds. The micro-organism living in the ocean can infect your wounds and cause it to go septic. In addition to that, it can start a cascade of events that can make your wounds take longer to heal, in a worst scenario you can become sick and sooner die while we are in the middle of our mission!”, he explained that makes me dumper. Can someone translate what he jus
Chapter 17: Bitten We are back here again to the Inn, I choose to change my clothes into a more flexible clothes. I picked the bag that was full of my clothes as I decided to leave half of my clothes. Undergarments are much more important than these classy clothes. I put the three bottles of water and snacks that I found on the top of the table inside of my bag, it is for emergency purposes. I arranged my hair into a high ponytail before picking my weapons. There was still blood on it so I cleaned it using hot water. As I wiping the blade in my knives I remember what happened on the border of Cromoria. The hunters, I wonder if there are still many of them left. I sigh as I finish cleaning my throwing knives. I stand up before wearing the cloak that Shiloh gave to me. I looked at myself in the mirror, I am itching to know who I really am. I hope I can find my purpose in the Mountain of Chaldea. Father Immer must be alive. I came out of my room and at the same time Shiloh left his roo
Chapter 18: Reatainer I opened my eyes when I heard a movement and it turns out that it was Shiloh trying to stand up, he looks so pale and it is making me worry. Should I hunt some animals that could return his strength, I mean its blood? I help him to sit down properly before picking up the bag he uses as a pillow. I took one of the bottles of water inside the bag and I opened it. I put it in Shilohs mouth for him to drink since his lips are getting dried. I don't know if his thirst will disappear but I hope this water can help him even just a little. I hold Shiloh’s forehead using the back of my mind to feel his temperature but he just holds my hands to stop me. That's why I raise one of my eye brows. “I am not that weak, Calliope”. He said as he smirked at me, he is still annoying even if he is in a situation like this. I looked behind me when I saw a movement in my peripheral vision. It was Ahira and she was looking into my hand while still holding Shilohs forehead while he w
Chapter 19: ShearlingI was shocked when I saw Ahira kneel in front of us.“Accept me as your retainer, my Lord!”, she shouted at the top of her lungs. I smiled when I heard what he said. I will be happy if Shiloh accepts her. I jump to the horse we are riding and now Shiloh is the only one who's riding it, a prince riding on a horse to be precise. He looks like a royal prince in which every girl would die for. Well, he is really one.Shiloh scratched the back of her arm looking so irritated. “I don't need one. And don't you know how dangerous it is to follow us?”he asked but I pinched him in his legs for him to look at me angrily. I am motivating him to accept Ahira. What if they are meant to be with each other? Thinking about that made me smile like an idiot.“Bu–But you're the reason why I am still alive and sane at the same time. I would die for you, my Lord”, Ahira said while looking at Shilohs head. I saw Shiloh look away, who is being shy now?“Fine! Be my retainer but kid yo
Chapter 20: ProphecyThe day passed, the same as the night, the predawn light was just beginning to show through. We were walking as we decided to leave the horse in the hotel we stayed all night as we were going to board a ship. At the moment we are on our way to the harbor to go to the last City which is the City of Samaria, near Samaria is the Mountain of Chaldea where we can find father Immer, the seer.The staff outside the ship help us with our belongings before we get inside. This is my first time riding a ship that is why I am so excited and nervous at the same time.Shiloh inform us that boarding in a ship is the only way to go the City of Samaria. I look at Ahira and she looks like a goddess as her long hair flies in the air. She is still wearing the dress I gave to her and the shoes Shiloh bought for her. It was very windy, that's why I arranged my hair in a low bun hairstyle. I heard a horn and I think it was the cue to start the voyage. Almost two hours have passed as I
Chapter 21: IMYI groaned when I got the chance to lie on my bed. How I missed this soft bed of mine. I already changed my clothes into a comfortable one. A while ago, Shiloh and Ahirah were here to borrow some clothes since it is already late at night no maiden was out since it is already past their curfew. I missed Miss Penelope.I also gave Ahira slippers but it seems like she didn't want to take off the boots given by Shiloh but still she accepted it. I asked them where Ahira will sleep since she can sleep with me if there was none but Shiloh said that there is still a free room for her.It has been almost a week since I left the mansion and tomorrow I am going to visit the training field. I miss the knights as well as Elon.I remember why I chose to leave the Cravens manor, the main reason is for me to forget my feelings toward Aziel. I don't know if ever I'd forget about that but I will think that when I saw himI fell asleep forgetting about the prophecy and it was almost eight
Chapter 22: Wicked“Miss Penelope!!!”I called her name excitedly as I ran toward her, she smiled at me and later on laughed at my actions.“I miss you, Miss Penelope!”, I said as I face her holding both of of her shoulders“I miss you too, Calliope”, she said while putting the tray of food on my table. It is the time where she always brings me food, that is why I am happily waiting for her. It is already lunchtime, that's why she's here.“How are you? It's been a week, Calliope and you didn't even bid a goodbye”, she said, holding my face.I scratched the back of my head when I heard her say that.“I know you have your reason but next time tell me huh?” She said that's why I nodded, she put my hair covering my face at the back of my ears.“By the way, Sir Shiloh said that you need to go to his room after you eat your lunch”, she said and I just nodded.She hugged me one last time before she came out to my room. I wonder why Shiloh needed me, is there something important he is going to
