HEAD GUARD

Blaike then headed there, "Hello Grandpa, can you get me into the entrance of the Giant Forest?" Blaike asked the Rider and then the Rider quickly reached his hand towards Blaike, as if it's asking for the payment. Blaike took out 10 SilverCards and then he passes it onto the old man and then he gave him a ride on. "zSo zYou're zNew zTo zThis zPlace zLittle Zire? zWhat zAre zYou zGoing zTo zDo zIn zThat zPlace zAnyways? Grrzz" the old rider asked while driving, Blaike got quite confused about what it was saying, but he then adapted and understand quickly. "I am looking for something very important to me, that's why I must find it sooner." Blaike replied. "zBut zIt zIs zA zVery zDangerous zPlace zTo zGo zThere zEspecially zFor zA zYoung zKid zLike zYou, zWhat zCould zThat zThing zBe? Grrzz" the old Rider felt doubtful for Blaike's situation. "Its okay Grandpa, don't be worry. I will just get that thing and get back as soon as possible and also I have some companions to be with me on this journey." Blaike replied. The old Rider got confused for he saw no rider is following them.

"By the way Grandpa, would you mind telling me about this place? I want to know a few information and some historical rumors if it's okay?" Blaike was so curious about the place and wanted to know some of the places in Giant continent.

"zWell Zire, zExcuse zMe zFor zI zConnat zTalk zFluently. ZBut zIf zYou zinsist zThen zLet zMe zStart zOf zBy zThe zLand zItself, zGiant zContinent zIs zAlso zKnown zAs zThe zBiggest zContinent zIn zPlanet zRigel zIn zTerms zOf zMountains zAnd zLands. zFor zAbout z200 zPlus zOf zVillages, zCountries zAnd zPalaces. zAlso, zWe zHave zDifferent zKind zOf zCreatures zAnd zTribes zThat zLived zIn zThe zContinent zBut zThe zMost zCommon zAnd zVery zWell zKnown zOf zThem zAll zAre zThe z4 zTribes. zThe zFirst zTribes zAre zMy zClan, zWe zCall zOurselves zThe ZAMPAR zTribe zFrom zThe zWest. zWe zHave zBrown zScales zAnd zLives zOn zThe zDeserted zArea. zThe zSecond zTribes zAre zThe ETRAK zTribe zFrom zThe zEast, zWith zA zYellowish zGreen zColour zScales zAnd zLives zOn zThe zMuddy zArea. zThe zThird zTribes zAre zThe SUBAN zTribe zFrom zThe zSouth, zThey zAre zThe zTitans zWith zA zBlack zHuman zSkin zColour zAnd zLives zInside zCaves.

Grrzz." The old Rider gave a warning and worrisome feeling from Blaike.

"Thank you, grandpa, I will keep that in mind." Blaike thanked him and smiled, "Zire zHere zWe zAre, zHave zA zGreat zJourney zAhead." "So this is the way towards where the entrance gate is." Blaike saw a sloping road with big trees both sides. "It's getting dark soon, I need to go fast!" <Gie will notify Sire of some living creatures approaching towards us and if there is a warning of the surroundings.> Gie tried to Help and Protect Blaike from someone. *Don't worry master! I will also protect you and if anything happens then I will surrender my life fully!* Yin also wanted to give her loyalty to Blaike. "Guy's it's okay, we are still not inside the Giant Forest, so this place is still safe. And don't worry because I will take good care of myself too. So that I will not let anyone of you be disappointed."Blaike responded Seriously. *That's good, you must let us show what you are capable and don't try to be slacking around.* "Don't worry big sis Yang, I will definitely prove that to you all. Let's Go!" Blaike was now heading to the Giant entrance gate.

Blaike saw the big old thick and firm wall and those Guards from Zampar Tribe. They are guarding

and patrolling the area and the wall itself for the protection of the citizens. *Before I can go inside. I need to have a Verification Card and reasons to why I want to go inside. Hmm... I guess I will try to take Auntie's name for it since she didn't give me the Authority for this. I hope it's Valid and acceptable.* Blaike then stand by in front of the entrance gate. "zGood zAfternoon zLittle zKid, zWhat zAre zYou zDoing zHere?" the gate guard asked him. "I am here to enter the Giant Forest and here is my golden PassCard."

Blaike gave his PassCard to the guard and then the PassCard Immediately put it inside the Card transact device. "zHmmm.. zWhat zIs zYour zReason zWhy zYou zWant zTo zGo zInside?" The guard asked him again, "Captain Katherine gave me the permission to go inside because I have something important to do over there." Blaike answered with a serious look on his face. "zHmm?.. zSorry zLittle zKid zBut zYour zPassCard zState zThat zYou zCannot zEnter, zDue zTo zYour zAge zAnd zUnknown zBackground. zYour zReason zAlso zIs zNot zValid. zSorry zWe zCannot zLet zYou zGo zInside zThe zForest zRight zNow, zAnd zIt's zGetting zDark zSoon zSo zPlease zGo zBack zTo zThe zVillage zAnd zRest. zContact zYour zCaptain zAnd zTell zHer zThat zYou zCannot zEnter zBecause zThe zRestriction zNow zIs zEven zGetting zCrucial." The guard didn't accept Blaike's reason.

"But... But... But I need to go inside please! Please! Please let me in! I need to go inside and look for something very important that I need the most!" "And What Is It That You Are Looking For Inside The Giant Forest?" The other guard asked him for his curiosity. "Honestly, this Forest is my Granny's first adventure when she was young. I am here because I want to experience what my Granny has experience and wanted to become strong just like her. I want to follow her journey because it would mean I lot to me, so please let me go inside the Giant Forest." Blaike pleaded, "zEven zSo, zWe zStill zCannot zAllowed zYou zEnter, zBecause zThat's zThe zRules. zBy zThe zWay, zWho zIs zYour zGrandma zThat zYou've zSpeak zOf? zAnd zWhere zIs zShe?"

"Her name is Hwan Ahmya, and this place was her first time doing a journey and to travel-" Blaike told them her Grandma but someone interrupted them. "What?! What did you just say?" An old man's voice coming from the back appeared. "zGood zEvening zSir!" The two guards greeted him. *He's the General? so macho!* Blaike got stunned by his appearance. "You mean Princess Ahmya? the real Princess Ahmya and you are her grandchild? How can it be? Princess is still a lady to have a grandchild like this kid?! impossible!" "Ye...Yes! She really is my Grandma, look! I have proof!" Blaike took out some pictures of them and his Granny's journal.

"She is my Grandma and I am Hwan Blaike her grand-." The guard suddenly covered Blaike's mouth. "Come here little kid, let's go inside my house. Don't speak too loud about the Princess name publicly and also yours too, because bad people have eyes and ears, they can hear and see everything and everywhere." The guard whispered to Blaike, *But you are the one who is too loud to reveal her name.. And what does he mean, that my Granny was not that old? Why is he calling her a Princess? something's off... Hmm.*

The General guard's appearance is like a 57 years old Zampar Creature. He has guard suits like a

guard's helmet, metallic spear, and guards armor. having a height for about 7.7 feet long with a very masculinity physique of a wizard-man and matching with some scratches and marks made from the war or fight.

Blaike and the General went inside the guards camping house and headed into the General's place. "Uhmm... Big uncle, how can you talk fluently when others can't?" Blaike asked for his curiosity, Well, it's actually thanks to Princess Ahmya for she taught me how to speak like a human language and how do humans do their stuff or something like that. By the way kid, apologies for not introducing myself, my name is Zrugo, I am the General guard of our tribe and an old friend of your Grandma Princess Ahmya." The guard greeted him formally, "I'm Blaike from the Human Continent, hmmm big uncle what do you mean that my Granny is not that old? What do you mean that she is a Princess? I really don't understand." Blaike got confused about what the guard was talking about a while ago. "Ohh? She didn't tell you about who she really is or her past life? Why did she keeping it a secret? Little kid, I wish I could tell you but I am not the person who will tell you about that. The Person who can tell you about it is her, the Princess herself." Gen. Zrugo told him about it.

"But... But... But how? Granny is no longer here in our world because she died months ago. She was killed by someone and I don't know why. As if they have something against her and they killed her without any mercy. That's why I am going to pay them 100 folds to avenger her death and that's the reason why I needed to go inside the Giant Forest, to train myself and become strong, and I need you to help me with that, please." Blaike explained what his real purpose. Gen. Zrugo couldn't hold back anymore and got mad when he heard it. "What?! Princess Ahmya is dead?! How can it be?! I knew her, she isn't a person who can easily be defeated! Even I saw her true Power long ago and it needs 5 powerful people or even more to stop her. She is very strong and very hard to deal with, we also have a spar when we were young, and she even taught me great things that's why I became the person I am right now. She is the kindest person and a very high spirited Princess I have ever seen. I don't believe that she is dead, she is just hiding somewhere" Gen. Zrugo cried and felt the frustration.

"I.. Even I can't believe it either, but I saw her corpse on the ground. I don't know if she really is dead or not. But I am hoping and praying that she is still alive and is hiding somewhere far far away. that's why for now, I need to be strong and soon I will look for her and be with her again and protect her." Blaike cried but he still needs to bear the pain. "By the way little kid, you've said earlier that you have something important to look inside the Giant Forest? what is it? I can get you inside the Giant Forest easily but in return just like what Princess did to me back then. You cannot leave that place unless you beat me in a one on one fight. If you win, I will tell you all about Princess Ahmya's past, but if you lose, you must stay inside the Giant Forest for another 5 months. And if you will die out there, no one will be responsible for your death, how about that?" "hmm... Yes I'll accept it!" "good determination and perseverance, so little kid, you must train hard and have fun. This is the only way I can repay her, so please be strong and tale good care of yourself. Also beware of other travelers, because I heard a few days ago some dark guild was scouting the forest, so please keep away from them little Blaike." Gen. Zrugo gave him an advice and warning message.

"Dark Guild? Do you mean the Dark Serpent Skull Guild? I heard it form captain Kathie not long ago, and I also dreamed about that snake too. A black snake with a skull's head, it was attacking my Granny and ate her whole." *Wait, what?! little Blaike dreamed about it when his Granny got killed? is that a sign or just an incident?* "Little Blaike, I don't know if your dream has a meaning or not, but I do know that if you dreamed about that, then it has a sign or meaning to it. I have a feeling that the one who killed her is a member of that Dark Guild, it's just a hunch, nothing to think about." Gen. Zrugo felt something about it. * Hmm... That's also what I have been thinking about, could it be?* *Pervert Master, you need to focus on your training first, mind that later.* *You're right big sis Yang, I still need to focus on my goals.* "Thank you so much big uncle, I promise to have a spar with you soon and become strong." Blaike replied.

"By the way little Blaike, how many days will you spending inside the Giant Forest?" Gen. Zrugo asked. "Hmm... How many days does Granny spend her time inside the Giant Forest?" "Ohh... Princess Ahmya? If I may recall, she spent almost 2 years scouting and traveling the Giant Forest. But because Forest is so very large and very wide, even your Granny hasn't scouted all the places and only a few items and artifacts have been found by hers." Gen. Zrugo explained to him why the Giant Forest was called as the largest forest in the Planet Rigel. "Is that for real? Even Granny couldn't scout all the places inside? Is there a person who can scout all the areas? Hhmm... I still don't know how long will I spend there, but I wish I could surpass her." "I heard there are only 3 people who have scouted the forest, but it took them 9 years and they still didn't find all the treasures and they can't even record all the places that they have been through." Gen. Zrugo gave him some information.

"Since it's already night time, you can rest here for a moment and just start your journey tomorrow morning." "Thank you, big uncle!" "No worries, I got to work now and guard the place, so goodnight little Blaike." Goodnight big uncle!" Gen. Zrugo walked out and Blaike spent his night at the house.
