3 The Dark Lord 'Dosta'

The castle was so beautiful and majestic. Located at the very end of the legendary land part of the world. At every corner along the road it is decorated with colorful flowers that spell the eye. It's really beautiful and charming. Legendary Land small insects are also complementary accessories to the castle area. However, in contrast to its charming shape, the castle had a very dense black aura. Only highly capable creatures can see the true layers of this castle.

Yes, no one thought that the gold-plated white castle was where the darkness was. The beautiful nuance behind the castle is just a deception. Beautiful flowers that grow in neat rows but deceive the eye. Those colorful flowers are a deadly array of poisonous flowers. The cute little insects that fly there are dangerous biting weapons. There's nothing really good about this place.

The black-robed creature opened its eyes. Awaken from the hermitage. Behind the golden mask covering his face. Her red irises glowed intensely. He, the Dark One, sensed a growing flow of foreign energy. The prophecy was correct, one falcon was still alive and he had risen. Dosta rose from the hermitage, his steps as light as a feather. With a hooded robe and a gold mask covering his entire face, he muttered, "Welcome back."

He then gathered his greatest men.

Suwa still didn't move, her body was limp. He had goosebumps, fear, shock and various other feelings that described her current position. He, a human, for the first time saw what was considered mortal to be real. Immortal creatures actually do exist. And now he was in front of them. Cornered. Moreover, he had been indoctrinated as a servant of the creature.

This is bad.

Suwa had to find an opening to escape. She never imagined that he would be a servant again. Servants for humans alone have bad luck, let alone having to serve mythological creatures like him. Terrifying.

It still crossed her mind how the creature cut the throats of those people. So easy, effortless. As if what he was doing was normal. Oh my goodness, she still vividly remembered how their heads had rolled like balls. Even though she was also happy the bad guys were dead. But still, what happened to her was really unexpected. The being in front of her clearly possessed power beyond reason. It was still remembered how the white creature miraculously emitted a jet of ice that could certainly create various forms that could injure a person. The chances of running are getting slimmer.

Suwa gulped. Resigned. For now, she would obey what the man called the falcon said. While thinking of a way to escape.

"Looks like this girl is ready to be your servant sir."

The silver-eyed man remained silent, watching the girl with an unreadable gaze.

"Y~ you're not going to eat me are you?" Suwa ventured to ask. After all she was very afraid to be in the clutches of this legendary creature. No matter how handsome the man was, Suwa would not melt. Handsome man is identical with his rotten heart. Let alone a legendary creature like him. Certainly no less cunning and evil.

"I do not know." The mage momoru replied while shrugging his shoulders, "Since you are the servant of the Falcon, the decision rests with Mr. Ludra." he said glancing at the still silent Falcon.

Suwa also directed his eyes to the white creature. Full application. While the Falcon was still silent. Just glanced at Suwa who was scared to death.

"I will eat you."

The cold, short answer made Suwa even more scared.

"But not now." he added. Suwa immediately breathed a sigh of relief. 'At least I didn't die today.' He thought as she wiped the sweat dripping down her forehead.

Witch momoru chuckled "You scared her master."

Ludra only chimed in with the corners of his lips raised. Not a smile or a mockery. His expression was still the same, flat and untouchable. Then he tilted his body. Staring straight at the magician.

"First don't call me master, because I'm not your master, Momoru." Ludra's order was about to get a rebuttal from Momoru, but when he saw the warning glare from the last falcon, Momoru finally forced him to nod.

"Now, what should I do?"

"The people of the Legendary Land have suffered for thousands of years. You have awakened and brought great hope to this nation. No one can truly defeat the darkness. He has immense power. Only the Falcons can defeat him. And the only one The only Falcon left is you. Defeat the darkness. But before that, you must perfect your powers that lay dormant during sleep."

"So what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that you can't defeat the darkness if your powers aren't perfect. Maybe by now Dosta has sensed your presence, and will definitely do everything it can to eradicate you before you perfect your powers."

Ludra nodded as a sign of understanding. Then the two of them turned their attention back to the human girl who was silent listening to all the conversations she didn't understand.

"And you~ from now on will accompany lord Ludra during the journey. Your destiny is to serve him and carry out any orders from lord Ludra." Obviously the magician.

Suwa resignedly nodded. But there is a part that makes her angry. The word 'your destiny is to serve him and carry out orders' is completely unacceptable to her. It was as if he was born into the world for it. But again her annoyance could only be suppressed. Right now, pretending to be obedient was the best course of action. Once she feels the opportunity, she will run to freedom.

"Aha.... Finally my job is done." Momoru spread out his arms in relief. The burden he was carrying had lessened. So far he has been the only legendary land creature who knows where Falcon sleeps. He was given the mandate to guard the only remaining Falcon. Searching and waiting for hundreds of years for the right person to wake the Falcon.

"Okay, I'll go." He also resigned himself. "I hope you are not disappointed with this summoner." He said meaningfully while glancing at Suwa who looked at him embarrassed.

The mage momoru smiled kindly, then his lips moved to chant an incantation. A second later, the mage turned into a white butterfly and flew towards the sky.

Suwa was dumbfounded, again surprised to see the magical thing in front of her eyes. Suwa cursed inwardly, realizing that it was the butterfly that had led her to the place where Falcon was sleeping. "Damn witch."

Ludra raised an eyebrow at the girl's soft cursing.

Suwa hated that talkative witch more than the creature she currently had to serve. Snorting in annoyance he said, "Master, now what should I do?"

"Follow me!"

***

She was not chained or tied in such a way as a sign that she was a prisoner who would end up being a servant or a slave. Suwa was left alone. Behind her the silver creature stepped quietly. Occasionally Suwa glanced anxiously.

What if suddenly this creature turns into its original form that is scary? What if this creature is hungry and then pounces on it from behind?

Suwa could only guess. According to a fairy tale she had heard. Stealth is often camouflaged into a charming figure. Handsome men and beautiful women.

Currently, they were walking through the forest. What Suwa believes, this forest belongs to another part of the world. Suwa remembers every speed of the journey that she passed to make it easier to escape. The black marble stealthily looked around.

Looking for a way out.

This is an opportunity.

Suwa immediately turned to look at Ludra with determination, "Hey, I'm your servant right? Supposedly, the servant walked behind the master."

Ludra only raised an eyebrow. Judging for a moment, then without a word he walked past Suwa. As the girl expected, the Falcon was now walking in front of her. One thing that Suwa caught about this creature was that this man was very reluctant to talk. Even less impressed words.

The handsome creature continued walking without looking at her. Making Suwa suddenly grin slyly. Opportunity to escape.

Sneaking around, Suwa walked away. Every now and then the corner of her eye glanced at Falcon who was still walking. Didn't realize she was planning to run away. Not wanting to pass up the opportunity, Suwa quickly carried her skirt and then fled through the forest trees that she had previously remembered. She will return to the land of ice and then out of the mouth of the cave.

****

You stupid!

Suwa smiled lightly, mocking Ludra's carelessness who didn't chain her up. She paused for a moment, bending slightly to catch her breath. When she lifted his head, her heart felt like it was going to burst out.

The creature for some time had been standing leaning against a tree not far in front of her. The man looked at her while folding her arms across her chest looking calmly, "Don't expect you to be able to escape."

Suwa gulped. The blood immediately receded from her face. Reflex Suwa turned around, running as fast as possible from the man.

"Oh my god help me."

In the middle of the forest she kept running. It seems her legs have adapted to walk fast without getting tired. But once again Suwa was surprised by the appearance of the man who suddenly blocked her way. Suwa did not want to give up, once again she tried to run away. But in vain. The creature seemed to be everywhere. Glide in the blink of an eye. Even now she was inches away from his face.

"I told you, you can't escape." Ludra said this time a smirk formed at the corner of his lips.
