4 The Seers, The Aura and the Cupid

Warren gave her some fruits and some fish he gathered from the other swamp. He grilled the fish in the fire and notices her being curious.

"I learned it from one of Professor Zero's books, how come you got stuck in the quick sand?" He asked.

"I was happily roaming around and then I followed a strange bird, I got curious but then I slipped because it was too dark." Cal explained.

"You actually followed it knowing its strange?" Warren laughed like it was the dumbest thing he had ever heard.

"I know I look dumb, how about you where did you arrive?" Cal rolled her eyes at him.

"I chose the dark sun kukris and it led me to the monsters den." Warren scratched his head in annoyance with his kukri.

"Cal laughed so hard. "I guess you are dumber I bet you know the kukri's curse but, still chose it and now you are regretting it."

"At least I didn't slip in the quicksand." Warren teased him.

"Fine, you win." Cal replied.

"Do you think this virtual world is safe? Why do I feel its real?" She added.

Warren stared at her. "I have no idea."

Morning came and they decided to pack up they still have no idea why they are summoned in this world by professor Majid.

"Do you think the others survived?" Cal asked.

"Maybe, after all they can take care of themselves." Warren replied and removed some strange plants around.

"Oh, so you mean to say I can't take care of myself?" Cal raised her brows at him.

"I didn't say that." Warren shrugs his shoulders and grinned.

They arrive at the dead end and roam around to look for a bridge.

"How can we pass if there is no bridge?" Warren exclaimed.

A strong wind was heard but not a single thing was found. The strong wind was already dragging them to fall from the edge.

"What was that? We are going to fall Warren!" Cal shouted.

"Hold on into something the wind is so strong!" Warren exclaimed.

Cal holds the vine near her but too bad it was burnt by an attack. A big invisible creature has dragged her away.

"Warren!" She shouted.

"Cal!" Warren shouted as he ran to Cal's direction going farther.

It was too late for him to catch her hand they already passed the edge.

He messed his hair in frustration, a lot of trouble has been ahead of him ever since he arrived at the parallel world.

A shining stuff catches his attention it was Cal's belonging. He opened the bag and found a key, he immediately look for a key hole around.

He was so busy looking that he stumbled and almost hit a round rock. His eyes rounded as he watch the rock with a symbol the same as the key.

Warren pressed the rock and a minute later the keyhole appeared.

He used the key and waited for a moment, the ground suddenly trembled and tiles of rock have appeared.

In order to pass he must shift into his werewolf form. He gathered his strength and moved fast he jumped in every tile to pass; he almost fell but still continued.

Warren arrived safely in the other edge; he didn't waste any time and look for Cal.

He thought for a while and finally got an idea where to go. As he was passing the woods a sudden attack almost hit him.

The three was ripped by claws; a strange person was seen wearing a mask.

"Meat." Orion spoke and jumps to attack him.

"Traitor!" Warren glared at him.

He notice Orion was holding a Lightning Claw it is not just an ordinary weapon. The weapon was created from a lightning it also can create a huge lightning it also can create a huge lightning power. He seems helpless regarding about power, he only have a balance portion of Dark and Light.

Using this power is very dangerous he still don't have any idea how to control it.

"There is always a first time for everything." He smiled and attacks him.

He dodges every hit but Orion is quite tricky he still manage to hit Warren. He uses the light's glow and blinded Orion, he bump his head towards him and hit him hard in the chin.

It was a full force which made the enemy hallucinates because of the attack. He didn't waste a time and does a full blast attack with his wolf power.

"What a crazy tough exercise." He murmured in exhaustion as he stared at Orion who is already unconscious.

He continued to look for Cal in the other mountain in the east. If his calculations were right it must be an invisible dragon or a large bird so it must be in high places.

Cal got awake from a dark cave; she used her moon dagger to give light in the surrounding. She was sitting in a large nest with two big eggs taller than her. Some skeletons were seen in the area she felt a hard shell in her hand; it wasn't a shell but a skull which made her scream in fear.

Good thing the eggs haven't hatch yet, as she was about to leave she notice a stand between the eggs.

She walked near the eggs and found a bracelet around the fire. Cal has no idea but her hand was already on the verge of touching it, the fire didn't burn her hand instead it turned blue. She grabbed the bracelet immediately wear it, a loud noise was heard it was the Eagle of Deja.

She climbed out of the nest and ran away but she was cornered in the exit. There is only one way she was so scared at the moment and notice that the creature can't see her.

Cal stared at the bracelet, as she was about to run a familiar figure was seen near the veins.

It was Care he was trapped by a red jelly trap it was a powerful saliva of the eagle. She didn't know what to do, when eagle left she immediately used her moon dagger.

"Teriampos Escreia." She spoke and throwed her dagger.

The dagger became triple and broke the jelly, Cade cough so hard and looks at his savior.

"Cal?" He said.

"We have no time to lose, we need to leave Cade." She said and helps him stand.

They got out from the cave and now having trouble how to get down.

They heard a loud noise from the different area.

"It must be the eagle." Cal said.

She notices Cade murmuring something and small dragon flew towards them.

"Eros we need your help." Cade said to the dragon.

Eros blows a magic dust to them and just 2 seconds they are already in the bottom.

"What just happened?" Cal asked.

"Hen I arrived here I notice a baby dragon crying so I took him and gave him some of your cookies since then he followed me everywhere." Cade explained.

Cal nods and looks at the adorable little Eros playing with the butterfly.

"I remembered Warren must be looking for me." She blurted.

"Warren? You are so lucky girl it's been day to but I'm all alone with Eros and yet you got a companion since day one." Cade teased her.

They walked a very long way and Cade is already complaining of hunger.

"Oh dear my beauty , my charm they will no longer continue due to hunger." Cade dramatically said and acted fainting.

Little Eros look also hungry and so is Cal so they decided to look for food around.

"Look a fruit!" Cade exclaimed and ran fast to a single plant that has a marvelous red round fruit.

Before Cal and Cade could touch it, a familiar voice shouted.

"Don't even think about it that is one of the carnivorous plants!" Mori shouted.

Cal and Cade stared with each other and sighed in relief they stopped just in time for touching it.

But little Eros hugs the fruit which made their jaws drop.

"This is bad." Cade said and shook his head.

The plant automatically close it's petals and trap them inside. A hot fluid rise slowly some predator's skeleton was notice floating in the fluid.

Cal uses her dagger but it didn't work, little Eros was too scared to move and hides into Cade's shoulder.

Mori on the other side was looking for the right stem to cut but the moving roots who are trying to grab her.

She no longer can hold them knowing that the plant is anti-magic, she only used her double sword to cut them. One of the roots grabs her feet which made her fall in the ground.

A wolf suddenly appeared and tears the root; he jumped into the plant and tears it apart. The plant vomited all of the people inside and the sticky fluids were scattered in the ground.

"Yuck this fluid is disgusting." Cade exclaimed and glared at Eros.

"Cal!" Warren shouted.

Cal stood up and heard Warren's voice; her eyes widened and ran towards him.

"Warren you are here." She exclaimed and hugged him.

Warren was caught off guard and startled with the hug. Cal noticed that Warren was stiffened and immediately removes her hand around him.

"I'm sorry that I startled you." Cal was embarrassed with her actions.

Warren lowered his head and scratched his hair at the back.

"I-it's o-okay not a problem at all." He said in a stuttering voice.

"What do we have here?" Cade teased them.

"You even go to him instead to me hello? Friend Mori here." Mori joked.

Cal faced Mori and spoke ."Thank you Mori, how come you found us here?"

"I was picking some berries earlier and saw Cade running followed by you I remembered I saw earlier a gigantic carnivorous plant so I thought you mistaken its sensor as a fruit." Mori laughed so hard remembering their reactions.

"This makes the four of us then." Warren said.

"The more the merrier." Cade exclaimed.

The four of them laughed with Cade's craziness. They heard a loud bang on the other side of the forest.

"Maybe we shouldn't go in that part." Cade interrupted everyone.

"You are right let's follow the butterflies they could lead us to the meadows." Mori happily replied.

They decided to follow Mori's idea and continued to walk.

"Why do you know a lot of plants madam?" Cade asked Mori.

Mori looked at him and smiled. "My mom loves flowers and stuffs so I decided to learn all of them to please her."

Cade nodded and spoke. "We smell like dead corpse."

Cal realized that she was covered with the plant's fluid and she also stained warren's clothes. She signed them to stop and chanted.

"Queea es cletia." Cal spoke some words and the stain together with the smell disappeared.

Cade claps his hand in amusement. "Bravo madam you are a genius!"

She shrugs her shoulders and continued to walk. They arrived at the long river and take a rest for a moment and eat.

"Do you have any idea how to pass the river?" Mori asked.

"How about we use Eros he can teleport us right?" Cal looks at Cade.

"Oh dear, he can only use it for several times he drained his power looking for me." Cade replied.

"You can talk to them?" Warrena asked in amusement.

"Yes I can." Cade replied.

Hey decided to split up and look for a boat or something to float.

Warren was currently walking on the other side farther from them and found a beautiful lady catching a glimpse at him.

He was enchanted by the beauty and followed her; he slowly walks towards the river.

Cal was looking for Warren to tell him they found a cut trees. She noticed that Warren was enchanted and saw an ugly nymph seducing him.

She immediate run and throws her dagger and hit the tail. The nymph cried in anger and glare at her, Warren felt the pain in his head and saw a nymph in front of him. He immediately moves a step backwards and turns to see Cal controlling the daggers.

"Shattria uresk." Her eyes were filled in anger and spoke harshly.

A lot of daggers were seen and stans the poor nymph brutally,blood were flowing into the river. The other nymphs yelled in anger to see how the poor nymph was killed.

Mori and Cade saw how uncontrollable was Cal.

"Are those nymphs?" Mori gasped.

"They actually are very ugly." Cade added.

A very long tongue grabs Warren's feet and pulled him near the river. Cal was furious and attacks them with her daggers she snapped her finger and the daggers was flaming with fire. Mori and Cade ran towards Warren and pulled him away.

Cal killed the nymphs brutally by setting them to fire and stabbed them many times.

Cade was so amused and decided to catch a nymph to take home.

"Professor Wood would be so happy to have this creature." He exclaimed.

He created a bubble and put the nymph inside it. The bubble was floating and the nymph was struggling inside it.

"You catch one?" Mori said in amusement while looking at Cade.

Other nymphs swam to escape the river was no longer pure it was already filled with blood.

Cal walked towards the nymph who is trapped by her dagger. She raised her up and drops her blood in the bottle; she also cut her long hair and keeps it.

"Let's go." She said and walk near the water.

She used the hair and soak it in the river, the water split and has a stairway underneath.

Cade woke Warren up and pointed the way, confused and surprise he manage to compose himself and followed her.

They got inside a sparkling cave filled with crystals; Cal tool the blue gem and ran to a crystal door. She used the gem together with her moon dagger it created light and reflected to the gem. The door opened and a great meadow was seen as soon as they got out Cal suddenly fainted.

"What happened to her?" Mori asked in panic.

Warren carried Cal and kept her stuffs in the bag.

"I was with her earlier and saw her reading and then she walked away to tell Warren that we found a boat." Cade explained.

"It must be the words that she read earlier." Warren added they decided to stay at the meadow for the night.

It was quite a long day for them with all the troubles they encountered. The meadow was also good to stay some fruit bearing trees are around them.

"Cade what did you do to the nymph earlier?" Mori asked.

"Oh that one I kept it here take a look." Cade said and showed her a small round glass.

As Mori peek inside she saw a small nymph swimming around.

"Wow that is so cute Cade." Mori exclaimed.

"I know right." Cade laughed with her.

Eros suddenly flew towards Warren and sleep in his arms.

"I think he likes warm places, you are a wolf after all." Mori said.

Warren stared with Eros sleeping peacefully beside him. Cal was still unconscious so the three of them talked for a while.

"It's almost dark; do you think we have a mission here or something?" Cade asked while staring on the sunset.

Mori sighed. "I have no idea I was actually glad to see you guys. I've been roaming around alone in this strange world a bit scared and lonely."

Warren felt the people with him are shocked with this kind of trouble they had experience.

"You guys don't need to worry I'm pretty sure professor Majid would not do something that is dangerous for us." He assured them.

"I thought so; maybe he just did this to test us right?" Cade added trying to be optimistic for the group.

Warren wanted to add regarding about the encounter he had with Orion, but he decided to keep quite so that they won't be worried.

"Mori, why did you choose the double sword of bravery?" Warren changed the topic.

Mori takes out her sword at her back and showed them.

"I'm always the weak one in our family; my fears are bigger than my strength so I thought this sword might give me some of his bravery." She said while staring on it.

Cade showed her a pleasing smile to comfort her.

"We are quite similar then the long sword of justice is in my hands yet I can't even take care of myself." Cade and Mori sighed they decided to take a rest for tomorrow's journey.
