After two nights they finally hear the waves crashing on the golden sand of the beach. Their jaws dropped as their eyes sparkle like the water. They took off their slippers and feel the sand first. Kitto was jumping, being absurd and then they rushed to feel the cold water.
The lost boy was just ignoring all the fun the rest was having, he was more concern whether they'd see the pirates who took the wolves. But since this is part of Amrak's timeline, they should find the pirate's ship.
While the others were busy, he made his way up the sky for a clearer view of the ocean. There he sees a ship but unlike the pirates he would always mess up with, this had a different flag. He moved closer to the ship, just enough for him to observe the men on board.
Big men, he saw with swords and machetes but doesn't have a gun or so he thinks. Narrowing his eyes, he searched for prisoners, precisely wolves. After a second, he saw some, scrubbing the floors and the
And so the time has come when the lost boy had called for the mermaids, the beautiful ones that are full of tricks. Like what Amorivia had seen before, they are really lovely, almost wanting her to wish she was like them. While they stay a little far from the water, the lost boy made the talking with the mermaids. She could hear them laugh together making her think that the mermaids were flirting with the lost boy. But of course it only looks like that. The lost boy is just using his charm to negotiate. "I'm scared," Arwha whispers. "What if I make the wrong choice?" "Just remember we are all in this together. If we make a mistake I'm sure there's another plan that will arise." "But what if the mermaid wants something too precious? What do we do?" They all fell silent when Selena asked that. Her beauty can once again be taken from her. Not to mention that she can go back to her kingdom whenever she want since she has her beauty back. But how c
Each of them ate one marble and swam under the sea. It shocked them how they can see clearly even when it's night. Not only that, their clothes and hair aren't wet. They can even talk telepathically. This must be how the mermaids are underwater, no wonder their hairs aren't wet. One mermaid named Ira guide their way to the ship. And below, they wait for the lost boy to drop wolves which will be given the marble to swallow. They didn't all have to go but as they say, the more the merrier. While they wait in the water, the lost boy, like he did earlier went his way in. Like an assassin, he can easily hide and switch places unnoticed. Yesterday, he had told one wolf about the escape plan. At first they didn't trust him but when he mentioned Amrak, they started listening to his plan. During late hours of the night, the pirates take turns in guarding. Only around ten of them take watch every five hours. Even though there are only few of them to take watch, j
Last night, Amorivia insisted that she's not leaving until he comes back. The others couldn't just leave her so they agreed to give her the night before finally moving on. She didn't agree but she knew she was going to get dragged.The sun was rising but the lost boy has not returned yet. The moon saw her tears and now the sun will too. And when it does, she hope it will hear her cries."She's up all night," Selena uttered, her eyes on Amorivia. They all could agree that if their partners didn't make it, they sure would end up like her.With a sigh, Amrak moved, standing beside Selena. "I need to talk to her. If it weren't for me we would not lose him."
After checking up the whole land from the Atlas, they saw how big it is now. They have come to know that they are in Shi no Ji, the Land of Death. What Saiva showed them gave them the reason to go home, the willingness to go back to other side.Unfortunately, to do that they must gather the seven orbs from seven big states of the Shi no Ji. The magical atlas will tell them where the orbs are located in every state but they were warned that it will not be an easy task. But they are all persistent."Are you willing to leave the lost boy?" Arwha asked Amorivia. "It's going to be a long and hard journey.""We have to gather those orbs to go home. I hope he wakes up after we get them so we can go home together.""I want to go home and visi
Selena's face brightened when she can finally see her castle from where she and Amrak are standing. It will only take seven hours at least to get there!"A castle?" Amrak asked. "Are you some kind of a princess?""Did I not tell you?"Perhaps I had forgotten.""Or maybe you think I lied when I told you about it. Maybe you still sees me as a hideous goblin or--""Or maybe I had really forgotten," he cuts her off. "I have no problem with you being this beauty or a goblin. Just why do you think I came here with you for?"They stood staring at each other for a while, Amrak's brows slightly drawn together. Selena looked away,
Amorivia couldn't dare to close her eyes when night came and different noises were heard from the woods. She can't even make a fire, she's all alone and you bet her whole body has been trembling, not to mention the cold.It makes her wonder if Shi no Ji has seasons too. As long as she can remember she has never experienced rain in the land nor snow. It's like it was always springtime, frozen in spring. If only the lost boy was with her right now, they would probably be flying somewhere, staying up all night."I want to see the stars with you again," she mumbled, reaching her hand up, letting it fall with her sadness.From her sling bag she took the magical stone that Saiva gave her. She looked at where she is in the holographic map, sighing heavily when she saw
Amorivia had the strangest dream about the angel taking care of her. She must have fallen unconscious again since she's sure she's laying on the ground, staring at the blue sky. Suddenly, a face of a bunny came into view. She remembers this bunny."Lady Amorivia! Are you awake now?"Her eyes widened, instantly sitting up when she realized it was Ceejay the bunny in front of her. How in the whirlwind did she get there?"I'm not dreaming, am I?""No, silly!" Ceejay laughed, hopping to her lap and hugging her."I remember I was on my way here but I don't remember how I got here.""Oh! The young man with wings!" The bunny mo
Saiva was losing hope when she felt Amorivia's presence in her land but then suddenly her eyes widened as it was getting hard for her to breath. It was like someone had her heart and is squeezing it, making her hold tightly on the porch. The Angel is here with the lady, she thought. As she was about to stand, a harsh wind blew her way, a voice she heard that got her hands sweaty. The Angel's voice telling her to calm down but how could she? His presence and his voice had already sent chills down her spine. Her hands are terribly shaking with his ice cold presence. "Saiva!" That voice! She raised her head and sees the lady running to her side. "Are you alright? What is wrong?" The worry that is painted in the lady's face somehow flushed the tightness in her chest and she smiled. "I'm fine now. I was really worried about you. We all were," she softly said, wrapping her arm around the lady. "You should never hide anything from your friends. Tell them about
