156 First Direction
Somewhere in the world...
White clouds moving slowly in the clear blue sky, and a bright sun sparkling its warmth upon what its light reaches...
In the huge green field filled with vitality and green fine grass, a small vortex suddenly appeared in the void on top of it and a white-haired figure came out from this vortex...
"Huh?" As soon as this figure appeared, he controlled himself and slowly landed on the ground while looking around with a confused face...
As the figure looked around, he found himself in a green grassland in the midst of high and low mountains.
"I shouldn't appear in such a place..." The figure said while looking around...
Thinking of this, the figure became more confused and slowly rose to the sky ready to take a look around from a higher place...
As he raised to the sky, he kept looking around till he saw the whole picture of this green land...
Huge mountains with a big forest surround from all sides... and a huge field filled with grass under him...
The more the white figure looked around, the more confused he was...
While thinking the white figure stretched his nerve as if thinking hard...
And then he stretched his hand and a few pieces of papers appeared in his palm... Two pieces moved to the west, one to the north, and one to the north-east...
Looking at the few white paper pieces, a smile appeared on the figure's face... A smile of relief...
While looking at the papers, suddenly a white snake with beautiful wings appeared from nowhere wrapped herself around the white figure's body, and looked around with smart eyes filled with curiosity...
Followed by another long pink-haired girl wearing black clothes, and a witch hat on top of her head... looked so lovely, and the curiosity in her round eyes wasn't a bit lower than the snake...
These three were naturally Gray, Perona, and Nagini who just came back to the main world...
Both Perona and Nagini were full of curiosity about this world... Even though Perona was here before...
But what she saw was only the crystal room that imprisoned her... And what she heard was only the screams of monsters...
So in some sense, this was really her first time to see the main world clearly...
"Woah, so fresh" Perona said while looking at the green shining land around her that gave her a relaxing and beautiful feeling...
And Gray nodded his head about this... But the doubt in his eyes was stronger...
How to say it... The entire place wasn't right...
Before leaving the main world he was in the underground lowest place where he found the red crystal...
So after he left... A big explosion should have followed as he left...
Soo... this beautiful green land under them shouldn't be green at all... But a pitch-black hell... At least there shouldn't have any trace of life at this moment...
Did he back into another place? Gray though so at first... But after some observation, he found that it was the same place... The open space under them should be where he left before...
And the mountains around them weren't real mountains, but more like big hills...
The reason for the terrain change, making this place completely different, probably because of the countless holes and tunnels the insects made in the underground before, and after the explosion, many high and low changes happened in this place...
But the question was..... how did it become full of life like this?
From the Vivre cards, Gray can see that Mary and the others still didn't gather till now which means that he didn't leave for a long time...
While thinking of this, Gray already came back to the ground with Perona and Nagini...
"How do you feel?" Gray looked at Perona and Nagini and asked...
He wanted to knew how did they feel after crossing the world while being inside the ring... Even though he could see the answer from their faces, he still wanted to make sure...
"Hmmm... Nothing really... When I closed and opened my eyes the world outside the ring already changed..." Perona thought carefully and answered, while Nagini was the same...
This shows that there wasn't much difference from crossing while holding hands... But safer...
Hearing this, Gray smiled with satisfaction... Like this, the crossing will be much safer, and a separate accident like before should not happen again...
Gray didn't rush to leave but waved his hand conjuring a table and two chairs on the ground...
Seeing this, Perona sat on one of them while Gray on the other...
And then he took out a crystal orb from his ring...
While Perona took something to eat with Nagini while looking at Gray working...
Seeing their actions, Gray's mouth twitched... Are we on a Picnic? Just came to a new world and have the mood to eat? How heartless these two could be...
Anyway, Gray didn't care about this and started looking at the orb...
What was Gray doing? shouldn't he Follow the card direction?
Hmmm...
Wouldn't that be an insult for the magic he possesses?
Gray wanted to use Divination to find the location of the others first, then going to where they are, will be much easier...
Just like he found Nagini before...
Well... That sounds easy, but... Divination this skill... So unreliable sometimes... But so useful at the same time...
After half an hour hard-working all he could see in the orb was a white cloud of smoke...
"Oh? What is this?" Till suddenly the cloud changed and something appeared inside that attracted Perona and Nagini who was watching the orb with Gray.
What they saw inside was... A small village... from the look around the village, it should be beside the sea area... While many weird golden statues were scattered around this village...
Then... No then... The picture turned into a cloud of smoke again...
"The golden statues! It's Mary!" Perona saw the picture and said...
"Well... It's decided let's go in Mary's direction..." Gray also saw this and said with a smile...
So he and Perona with Nagini who didn't need to hide anymore flew into the direction the paper showed them...
Honestly, he wanted to directly teleport to the village from the picture... But that's why he also said this skill can be unreliable... Even though he saw the place from the picture, still it wasn't clear to him... Without a clear idea of where he wants to go, Gray can't simply use apparition...
Gray faced such a problem when he wanted to find Nagini before, but at that time, he had enough luck to use... Now the poor little paper can't help much...
So with this, Gray honestly followed the paper in the end... But at least, he had an idea where he was going to...
As Gray with Perona and Nagini left... The conjured table and chairs were left behind with a few donuts they didn't eat...
So they should be left like this... But after a few minutes...
Someone appeared beside the table and stretched her hand, picking a piece of donut...
"Yum... That's good..." With a soft sound, the woman who appeared looked in the direction Gray flew to and said while eating...
"Waiting for a whole day, finally my cute thing appeared...Umm... This is really good" She said while finishing the donut in her hand and picked another one...
"But what is his ability exactly? that's really odd, looks like his ability wasn't simply invisibility and the weird vortex as I thought... no wonder Chandra wanted to find him..." As she was saying very scary words, the woman took the last piece of donut and ate it...
"WOOSH" As she finished eating, the wind became a little stronger and blew the woman's blond hair...
"Well…" After the wind calmed down, a young blond girl replaced the woman who was standing there now and a very silly smile appeared on her face, and inside her heavenly blue eyes, there was a very playful look...
With this, the little girl took a step forward and disappeared from the place just as she appeared...
Followed by a weirder scene, just as she left...
The blue clear sky slowly started changing... And clouds gathered out of nowhere, while the fresh and green life around the place, started changing slowly...
The green land became black lifeless earth, the trees around the hills were cooked black, the aftereffects of a huge explosion were very clear in the middle of the place...
And around the burned ground, a few insects shell fragments that were hard enough to not turn to dust by what turned this place into what it is...
The green land completely changed to another picture...
If Gray didn't leave and saw this place right now... He will probably say; "Yes! That's how it should be!"
But unfortunately, he already left far away from here... So he didn't notice the change of reality that was happening here...
