Chapter 35
I was suddenly awakened when I heard crackles around the place, accompanied by a swaying of this hut we were at, made only of the thatched roof. It shakes when too many movements are done inside. So, I slowly opened my pair of eyes to see what was causing the hut to move.
“You’re awake already, Brother.” Tonette was talking to me, so I stood up from my bed immediately, then right away scoured around when I realized Dralia is not around.
“Where’s your sister, Tonette?” Tonette smiled and shook her head at the same time. Is there anything funny in what I said?
“She is out there,” she replied to me shortly. “Hurry up there, we will start walking the mountains again. We’re going to walk early now so that you don’t faint again from the extreme heat of the sun. And then, increase the amount of oil you will be applying on your body, Brother. Then, sunscreen as well. I&r
Chapter 36On our sixth day, the sky was still dark but we had already started walking through the forest.“Sister, I’m already tired.” Dralia and I, both looked at Tonette’s spot when she spoke.“All right. Let’s sit here in the shade of this tree first. We have been walking for a while so I do understand. By the way, are you okay, Tonya?” Dralia said with a worried tone.“Yes, Sister.” Tonette was already sitting while leaning against the tree. While still observing any suspicious activity around.I can’t help but keep up with what she’s doing, it’s like I know what she’s noticing around the place. Even I, myself, I noticed that also. But I just ignored it.“Sister,” she called her sister again. But I preferred to step onto the back of the tree on whic
Chapter 37Tonette, and I were just behind her, while Dralia was just busy talking to her werehorse friend named Kiloy. Tonette only interrupts in the conversation once, while I was really quiet, I decided to just listen any strange sound around.“If you come with us now, Kiloy, how about your kingdom there?” Dralia commented.“There are other werehorses there, so its fine, then the real reason, Princess Dralia, why I chose to come with you, is because of the harassments the black vampires did the other day.” Dralia’s eyebrows raised as she was staring at Kiloy.“Troubled your kingdom? And why is that? What do they need from you?” We stopped walking when they stopped as well.“I don’t know, our Majesty just told us to look and observe around, and don’t let any black vampires to enter our kingdom again. And, maybe they have bad plans against us.” Dralia averted her fa
Chapter 38Kiloy stopped us first from following him because he wanted himself to be the first to enter the hole that we had peeked at earlier. He has carefully gotten rid of the bushes that got in the way around the hole we had peeked at earlier. Then suddenly Kiloy fell to where he had fallen.“Kiloy!” We called his name with a worried tone. Dralia intends to go down to help her friend, and when I peeked down below, I realized that the spot where Kiloy fell has a certain deepness. That’s what he had said earlier. The fairies intentionally made this kind of trap, so that they could not be easily entered by anyone.“Dralia!” It was too late when I wanted to catch her, to prevent her from jumping into where Kiloy had fallen on earlier. Tonette and I just looked at each other. And then, we just decided to follow them instead. I’m just holding on to the hem of Tonette’s dress now as if the opposite happened
Chapter 39“Thank you so much, Queen Belinda, for letting us stay here for the meantime in your kingdom.” Dralia is the one who bids goodbye on behalf of all of us since we are only visiting their place.“Are you sure you’re going to continue your travel again?” Dralia just nodded as a response, accompanied by a smile on her lips.The two friends hugged each other, but when they let go of their embrace, a sudden tiger-like thunder roared, and it looked like a raging sky. A flash of very long lightning was drawn. It is just early in the morning but the surroundings are very shady.They all looked to where I was looking. Some are terrified of lightning and thunder.“Princess Dralia, it looks like heaven doesn’t allow you to leave our kingdom right now.” The queen said jokingly while smiling.I was just seriously looking at the two women having a sincere talk. It looks like we can
Chapter 40Because of the queen's wounds, we never left the kingdom. We have to wait for her to wake up first. Dralia has also worked out a way for the queen to be well.Dralia is now holding her necklace, and I just noticed that she is still wearing it. It can't be seen, because she always wears a black cape with a head covering."Please get water from the stream," Dralia said. One of the fairies immediately ran to the stream, and when she returned she was carrying a glass of water in a bamboo pouch."Thank you very much, do you have a white cloth?"“There is, Princess. Here it is.” Immediately within reach of the fairy.I just watched the treatment it does to the queen, only now I witnessed again, how Dralia would treat using her necklace she’s wearing, that her parents inherited from her.I also remember then that it was she who healed my wound when that incident hap
Chapter 41Tonette keeps on asking right now her older sister what they had talked about with the queen. We had decided earlier to leave in front of the stone house for the meantime so that we would not hear what they were talking about.But Dralia did not even bother to answer her sister Tonette. Consequently, all Tonette did was to let her sister think first whether she would share what they had discussed or not.Even I didn’t dare to ask Dralia about that. But whatever it is, I know she will let us know that too.“The Queen is already fine, and because of that, we can leave here tomorrow already.” Her face was just blank as she told us that.“It’s good then, Sister. Are we leaving early tomorrow?” Tonette inquired.“Yes, we will leave as early as possible tomorrow. Even the sun will not show yet, we will go.” Her face was still the same. Earlier, she was happy to see firefli
Chapter 42We walked another few kilometers from where we came from earlier so that we could now cancel the effect of our hiding. I still can’t get my mind off about those creatures. They’re big in size, the tree that we were on shook when they ran. How strong are they, and then why did they get so upset earlier. According to Dralia and Kiloy earlier, the Ogre do not act like that if they are not disturbed in their habitat.“Maybe now we can put an end of the magic, we are also far away from the kingdom of fairies. Then I don’t think anyone will see us here again.”“Invalidate the invisible request.” Dralia whispered those words first. When she thought Kiloy was right.“Invalidate the invisible request.” Simultaneously, we three whispered the terms. And that is it, and we’re slowly getting back to our normal form.“Can you see me now?” I asked Dralia. When she
Chapter 43I could see Dralia while simply shaking her head on us, as she stood in front of us.“Can you just stand up there, you look like idiots. Have you forgotten what kind of creatures you are?” Dralia is now scolding to us while holding at her waist.Kiloy and I just looked at each other, and immediately stood up. We arranged ourselves right in front of Dralia. I was really just looking at her while still smiling widely.Dralia was still bent over touching her forehead. Immediately she became serious again, due to the arrival of a creature that had caused us to hide under the bed earlier.I was about to step back when Dralia grabbed my hand even if she’s not facing me.“Chief Orbel, why are you here?” my girlfriend said politely to the elderly leader of the Ogre. I notice something on the leader’s face. It has a scar on the face that is like three lines. I can’t figure out if i
