24 Out of the Elf Territory

Mada received the wooden sculpture from the Queen Evergreen, the wooden flower didn't have any color other than the natural color of wood, but in his eyes the wooden flower looked like it was the most beautiful flower that he had ever seen even more beautiful than the flowers outside.

The more he looked at it the more entrance he was with it his mind that was chaotic earlier had now calmed down because of this flower. He raised his head looked at the Queen "Thank you for your gracious gift."

Mada gave a bow to Queen Evergreen to show his thanks. He didn't refused the wooden flower that Queen Evergreen gave to him because that would be a sign of disrespect for her.

Queen Evergreen accepted his thanks, then she said "That is just a regular wooden flower sculpture that I made on my free time, your mind is chaotic and your emotions are not balance because of you uncertainties I do not want you to go on a rampage in my land like you did previously do I?"

Mada nodded in understanding on what she said and his face couldn't helped but blushed red from embarrassment when he remembered the time he wrecked the forest in the Queens territory [I owe the elves this time.]

"Your Majesty I may not be able to make amends from what I did in the past today but will surely right my wrongs in the future." Mada's voice was full of sincerity he wasn't thinking of anything bad he was speaking from his heart, the grace that the elf people gave him even when he destroyed a part of their territory was big, they were even giving him a tool that help him calm his chaotic mind.

Because of this kindness that the elves gave him he was determine to repay them in the future, but at the moment he was still weak and would not be able to do much for them so in the future no matter what they need if he could assist them in doing so he wouldn't irk away from helping.

The Elders was giving Mada a thumbs in their heads for showing his convictions but they didn't show it on their faces. The Queen spoke "All right I will hold your word and if we ever need you in the future we will call for you in order to clean your debt with us. That wooden flower will let you know if we ever need your assistance in the coming future.

"I now understand on what you want to do and you do not need to state it." The Queen called one of the elf maids with some kind of mysterious ways and ordered them to call for Leo.

Leo arrived shortly after with Thea by his side "What is you order for us?"

"Take him to the border of the elven forest." The Queen pointed to Mada and gave one more order "Thea I would like to speak of some matters with you."

Leo brought Mada and Rayious out of the palace he gestured him to come to his side. Mada saw him and seeing the sight of Leo gesturing him the memory of him flying at that horrible speed his face showe defiance but he did not have any choice [This will be a long ride.]

Mada turned to Rayious who was filled with anticipation of the ride that was coming making him feel dejected. He walked to Leo's side and mentally prepare himself for what is coming, swoosh, the three of them took flight.

Leo landed on one of the borders of the elf territory, he brought Mada down to the ground not caring that much how he was feeling.

"This is the border of the elf territory and you would be able to get out of here if you walked in that direction." Leo pointed to the path where the mist was thick "Do not worry about the mist making you lose your way the Queen had already made preparations so you can get out of the forest without being effected by the array that was place in the forest."

Mada noted down what Leo had just said to him. He was not feeling that great but he pushed himself to listen to him, after the explanation of Leo was done he saw that Leo was already preparing to leave so he thank him for his assistance for the past days.

Seeing the quickly disappearing silhouette of Leo on the sky, when the silhouette of Leo had completely vanished on the sky Mada turned to looked at the path that was behind him and Rayious and without dilly dallying he walked to the mist covered forest.

The moment Mada walked on the path the mist that was supposed to have obstructed his vision moved on their own and made way for Mada and Rayious to walked on. The Dragon and Human duo didn't moved fast and walked at a leisure manner like they were not in any kind of hurry.

"Big bro, didn't you travel on the continent for the last five years that I was asleep?" Mada suddenly asked Rayious.

"Yes I did, but I was not able to do much though, the humans that saw me when I was travelling the continent all fled the moment they saw me, the time…" Rayious explained what happened to him this 5 years telling Mada stories of what he saw.

Mada listened to the stories that Rayious was saying to him with great interest, and even though some of the things that Rayioud told about his traves was already known by Mada through the time those images and scene that he watched when he was in that sleeping state he still listened to him.

And at this moment he got some of the answers that was spinning on his mind like the thing that where the demonic beasts disappeared to, and knowing that it disappeared to Rayious' stomach made him wonder [Did the dragon body had its own internal organs or was my internal organs that was connected to the dragon?]

Rayious continued talking for half the day and only stopped when he realized he was about to make a full circle on what he was talking about, he then turned to Mada and this time he was the one who asked the question "Mada where will we be going this time? I know that you want to find your parents but we are still not strong enough."

Rayious had experience many things these last 5 years but what made him remember the most was the time when that old man in white was hunting him for days without stop, and because of this he started thinking that their strength was not enough for them to the thing that Mada was talking about.

Mada understood what he was talking about and why he was thinking this was so he comforted him with some words "Don't worry the people isn't like Shimo who hunted us in the past and I am sure that he is only one of the people that is like that."

Hearing what Mada had said Rayious felt somewhat comforted "Then what would we do will we go and immediately try to looked for your parents?"

Mada shook his head "No we wouldn't be doing that for now, we still do not have much strength like you said and even if we find out what happened to the Purple Cloud City we wouldn't be able to do anything if Shimo and the others find out that I am still alive."

Mada was being cautious because he knew that if Shimo got a hold of him he wouldn't have a good ending. But thankfully the way he looked now was different from the past and he even got his right arm back making him looked like nothing from his past self.

Even if Suma and Angelica saw him now they would need to look at him for a while before they would be able to identify him. But even with this disguised he would still be caught if he started to go through the trouble of finding out what happened to his family.

The other thing that made him unable to find anything for him to start his search for his family was the fact that this continent that they were in at the moment just might not be the same one. He got this idea when the elves didn't even know what the Purple Cloud City was, and even if the others didn't know the Queen should still have some kind of information regarding it right?

The event that happened on the Purple Cloud City was a major thing and should've been regarded highly by people with status especially the Queen of the whole elf race. Even if the Queen wasn't that interested about the event that happened on the Purple Cloud City she still would send some men to investigate it.

Because of this Mada was 70 percent sure that the current continent place he was in was not the same "We should first be focused on raising our strength for the time being, oh right you are currently only a soul right how would you raised your strength then?"

"Do not worry about me my strength is tied with yours through the soul imprint so we should more or less have the same strength, the moment you improve I would also improve so do not worry. The thing we should be thinking is something much more mysterious." Rayious spoke those words in all seriousness.

Mada hearing Rayious speak all serious also made him feel the heaviness of the matter "And that is?"

Rayious closed his eyes then said "Why do I need to eat?"

Mada wanted to slap Rayious at first, but when he also thought about it Rayious being able and even needed to eat was weird [Does eating have an effect on him?]

"Maybe it have something to do with you regaining your strength or something, they do say that eating grants you power." Mada gave the explanation he could think of about the matter.

Rayious nodded his head, he didn't know why he needed to eat but he was not against it entirely. Because he was enjoying himself when he was eating those fruits and meat that he got to eat all the time made him want more the moment he tasted it.

Time flowed as the two of them talked as they walk in the path filled with mist, they did not noticed that by the time that they had reached the end of the path night had already surfaced in the sky. The moment Mada and Rayious walked out of the path of mist they began to feel excited for some reason.

The roars of beasts could be head from afar. This was the first time that Mada got to hear the roars of the demonic beasts since the time when he went to train in the mountains, memories of him going in the mountains to train resurfaced inside his head making him reminisce about that time.

When Mada was inside the territory if the elves he wasn't able to hear any roars from any beast whether it be the sound of low level demonic beasts or those high level ones he was not able to hear anything. And because of him not being able to hear anything he became dejected.

But not he got to heard the roars of these demonic beasts he became excited. It was not because he like the demonic beasts that made him happy, but it was rather because this time meat was going to be served on his plate for dinner.

Thinking about those tender and delicious food Mada started to drool a little, he wiped the drool on his face an turned to look at Rayious who was also drooling his face filled with anticipation "Hey big bro lets have something to celebrate of our reunion right now, what do you say?"

Rayious looked at him and gave him a roar of approval. Both of them started to hunt for those demonic beasts.
