Acknologia

"Acknologia?..." Athena murmured under her breath.

The boy looked at her strangely "What's this, stupid woman? You don't know what Acknologia is? Which rock did you crawl out from?"

"I came from Europe" She replied, absent-minded.

"You're..Up? Hey, are you retarded? Do you want a brain checkup?" The boy looked at her like he was looking at an idiot.

"Who did you call retarded? And what is Acknologia? Are you telling me or not?"Athena looked at him threateningly. Whose family's child was this who was only cute on the outside but so unlovable on the inside?

"Okay okay. Acknologia is the second name for the Demon World. From your face, you don't know what the demon world is. It's this world. The place where all us demons live in."

"Wait wait wait wait. You said this is a demon world so it is not… Earth?" Athena uttered in confusion and bewilderment. She was sure that there was no place on Earth called 'Demon Realm' or Acknologia.

"Earth? What's that?" He asked.

"No....impossible. How can I be here? Did that person send me to this different world...?" She didn't answer him and talked to herself.

"Different world? What different world? There is only this world. Except maybe.." The boy said faintly.

"Maybe? Maybe what?" She asked hurriedly.

"Hmm, I'm not really sure but there are ancient writings about a place called 'Human Land'. But I don't think anyone has ever seen that place before." He said.

"Umm… is there any way to go to human realm?" Athena asked. The Human World was where she came from. It was most likely that when she fell into the portal she got miraculously transported to this demon realm with no understanding of anything and with no way to go back.

"You really are brainless. I just said it was a rumor. Tsk tsk stupid people. Oh wait actually, I've been itching to ask, what specie are you? I can't sense any spirit power from you at all?" The wolf-boy asked.

"Spirit power? What is that? How am i supposed to know? I'm just a regular.....human."

"What nonsense are you spouting? You are the…"

Suddenly, the boy grew quiet. Then he stuttered in astonishment as he looked at her bewilderingly. "No no-way…. Y-You don't have any spirit power?! How is that possible!!?"

"I told you. I am a human from the human realm. I don't have any idea about this spirit power of whatever-it's-name-is thing is." Athena replied to the boy who was going crazy.

"Human?! You…you are a h-human? From the human land!? It actually exists?!"

The originally calm boy was now freaking out and looking at her as if she was some sort of alien from outer space. He bombarded her with questions all she had no way to answer.

~ 20 Minutes Later ~

After telling him about some basic things, Athena asked.

"So now you know, could you tell me about the person who brought me here? Do you know him? In case you want a description, he has white hair and blue eyes and wears weird clothes and he's pretty handsome if I do say so myself. Does this ring a bell?"

"Hm... Blue eyes? There are many demons with those eyes, such as me myself but white hair huh... Only royalty have those. But there are many people from the royal family with those eyes so unless you meet each and every one of them, I can't tell you who you're talking about." The wolf boy said after finally getting over his shock. But he still only believed 50% of all her words.

"It can't be helped then. So let's go!" The girl replied and stood up.

"Ah go? Go where?" The kid with wolf ears asked in confusion.

"To find that man of course. I need him to send me back." She said in a matter-of-factly tone.

"So what's that got to do with me?"

"You are going with me. I don't know where to go and you can't walk. We are benefiting each other."

"…"

"You don't have a choice anyway."

"…"

"So you either follow me or freeze to death here."

"…" Overbearing!

"Oh, anyway what's your name?"

"Ziyan" The boy named Ziyan answered.

"I'm Athena, Let's go Little Ziyan!" She replied in all enthusiasm.

"Hah….okay." Ziyan said weakly.

"Oh, how are you going to carry me?"

"Simple, I'll have you transform into your wolf form and then I'll carry you." Athena said.

The boy sighed in submission. Then he transformed back to his fluffy wolf form and she lifted him up.

He guided her towards the exit of the forest. As for why he was here and why he was injured, She did not ask because he didn't look like he wanted to talk about it anyway and she would not force him...
