9 We go...

I waited quietly.

I waited for her to start talking.

Time passed while we enjoyed each other company.

We heard people shout below. I could guess that dice game was getting excited.

It's always better to play in the groups.

After the loud sound from below, Milera sighed.

She suddenly spoke: If you can make it back alive, I will tell you why.

I had a feeling that it was a bit unreasonable because I don't know a thing about this world.

I have been going with the flow for a few days, and now I am going into a dangerous place.

What makes everything weirder is that I want to go, and see.

I breathed in and let all out, and answered: Wait for me!

Those three words express about everything I could think.

She got up and started to go down, I followed.

All we meet up with rest, Milera told all of us that its time to go.

Rest nodded because they had already prepared.

Suula walked near the wall which faced Lost Blood Lands. When she reached there, her hand touched the wall and suddenly her hand shined lowly, and the wall started to move down and form into the ladder.

James whispered to me: She is grade 7 talent magician, don't be so surprised.

I looked at James and nodded my thanks because I didn't know about it before.

Soon ladder was formed, and groups started to go down from the ladder.

Our group was last, and I was the last person to go on a ladder.

But before I went on a ladder, I looked at Milera, she smiling and silently whispered me good luck.

I only nodded.

Soon I got down, Ains suddenly spoke: Mesla, we will follow you, we can't lose to much time if we want to find food.

Mesla: I know, follow me.

I can see that no one was currently in the mood to talk, we all silently followed Mesla.

I heard sound from the behind, which made me look back, all I saw was how ladder moved back.

Before the wall closed up, I saw Milera waving to me.

I waved back and turned to walk on, though I was secretly happy because I scored a woman.

It was my first time also.

We walked for a long time, but we did not reach to Lost Blood Land Forest yet.

The sun was slowly turning bright red which signaled that day is starting soon and night ending.

I asked James if we will rest, but James said me no.

I could only follow on.

I was getting bored of red grassland, all I could see was red grass, even stones and ground was red.

When the sun was slowly turning dark red, we finally reached near the forest.

A bit more and we would be in the outer forest.

But Mesla suggested that we would go on tomorrow.

I was first to agree because I was quite tired.

We didn't bring anything with us to carry or use for sleeping.

But Miklakla suddenly squatted down and his hands shined in brown, it was a bit hard to see it because it was getting dark, the shine wasn't strong.

Earth vibrated and turned bit inside, in a circle.

Soon he stopped and got up. His breathing was in disorder.

Ains spoke out and asked: Why did you waste so much energy.

Miklakla replied: Its first day, don't wanna sleep on the hard ground, and we aren't even in the forest yet, you should say thank you.

Ains laughed, but Mesla spoke: Today is fine, but don't to it anymore, we can sleep on the hard ground as well.

Ains: Evets make us some water, I am sure all are thirsty, we haven't drink any water for almost day

Now that Ains reminded I did feel thirsty, I saw how Ains give Evets a cup, which he hid who knows where.

Evets made water on his hand which he placed into cup and let us drink.

I thanked him, for that.

I wasn't thirsty, but its good to eat and drink when you can.

In this world, all humans are like superhumans.

More strength, mysterious powers and lesser needs.

I could only see the best parts so far, but I did understand that on Earth a lot would be changed if this was possible.

We all sit on the soft ground.

I secretly thanked Miklakla in my mind, because it was soft.

I didn't want to sleep the first day on the hard ground.

It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.

Next day, I woke up, I wasn't first up Miklakla was also.

Miklakla was standing and looking at the forest.

I went near him and thanked him for the soft ground.

He looked at me and told me: Thanks.

I didn't understand why he thanked me, but I asked what books he brought.

Miklakla: I brought three books only because hard to put them under outer armor.

It didn't matter to me, so I waited what he speaks on.

Miklakla: Those are all copies, they were easy to get. I choose all about Lost Blood Lands because if we find anything unusual we can overcheck.

I nodded and agreed in my mind.

Miklakla: First book is about dangers, second about encounters and last is about geography and its history. I took the last book for myself because I wanted to know about this place history. I didn't have time before, but scout trip is month long, I can read in mornings or before night.

I agreed again.

I told Miklakla: I will borrow your books later at night as well.

I didn't want to borrow books in the morning because I wasn't a morning person for so far, usually James woke me up.

And just when I was thinking about I heard sound from behind.

Looking behind I saw James up with Mesla and Evets, only Ains was sleeping.
