chapter 13: Ruin

2 days later Quinn and I find ourselves in the deeper in the forest then we have been before. It is 6am and I have just woken up inside the tent we have shared the past few days.

Looking to my left I seen Quinn with a peaceful smile on her face as she slept. With her wearing only a thin practically see through nightgown and nothing else it has been hard not to notice and become distracted by her beauty. Shaking my head trying to rid it of the indecent thoughts flooding my mind I sit up and place my hand onto of her royal blue hair.

Quinn's eyes start to flutter and open wide as she Mets my gaze. Still keeping the peaceful smile on her face she mimicks myself sitting up while stretching her arms up and wide making her chest bounce catching my attention yet again.

"Hm?" Quinn softly whispers trying to find out what has happened for me to be in such a trace only to follow my eyes that are locked onto her chest.

"Hehe young master although you're seven now are you perhaps hungry for someone else's milk?" She teased with a grin on her face as she lowers the top half of her gown exposing her flawless skin and beautiful figure.

"Y-e I mean no! Stop we need to get ready we only have a few more days before we have to head back." I said trying to control myself

"Boo, young master is no fun" Quinn feigned being sad while pouting.

Standing up I head off to the corner of the comically large tent where a bathtub was place and a small shower beside it. Undressing I turn on the shower that is make with magic and runes to have endless warm water and start to wash myself.

Meanwhile Quinn sneaks close while letting her gown full drop to the floor and wraps her arms around me letting her bare chest rest on my upper back.

"Let this poor old maid help her young master wash❤️" she said as she grabs the soap from my hands and starts to lather myself and her with it. Once we rinse off she pulls me with her as she gets inside the tub making me sit on her lap and let's my head rest on her chest as she leans back to get comfortable.

Resisting the urge to fall asleep in the heavenly embrace of Quinn I reorganize my thoughts and plans for the day.

"Quinn, I want to head a little further in where the old ruins mom talked about are."

"Hmm. Young master why would you want to go there? It's already been explored hundreds on times there is nothing but old half destroyed stone building with a bunch of scribble on them? Even the top scholars who are all crazy about this stuff don't waste their time with that anymore saying it's nothing but random meanless nonsense?" Quinn questioned confused but curious as to why I want to go to such a boring place while I'm suppose to train.

'Although I don't blame her, however this is a new world I've never seen before of course I want to see all I can' I thought to myself before saying.

"I know it's boring for you guys but I've barley been out of the manner my whole life this is even the first forest I've been to and the first time I've slept outside the manner. I just want to explore and experience things for myself, that's all."

"Hmm, very well young master." She replied while leading the way towards the ruins.

Walking for a few hours Quinn and I finally see something up a head. A large stone arch came into sight with cracks and vegetation all throughout it. Walking through it we came to what looked like a true ruin, half destroyed houses and temples with cracked stone and vegetations covering it all, the pathways now uneven and matching the structures and structures in the centre is a big staue of what looks to be a dragon, however matching the condition of everything around it, it too was in bad shape and even missing its head.

'Damn' I thought as I studied the strange characters incribed at the bottom of the statue, hoping to decipher the meaning. And utterly failing to do so.

Losing interest I survey the area till my eyes lock onto the biggest structure within the ruin. A temple at least twice the size of anything else here not damaged at all but still overgrown with vegetation hiding the true beauty of the craftsmanship. Urging Quinn to follow me we walk towards the temple passing the pillars supporting its roof and coming to the entrance, an arch that shares similarities with the previous one at the entrance of the ruin, only in better condition.

Walking inside we were met with darkness, not able to see more then a few feet infront of me, I reach to go inside my storage ring so I can bring out a torch when Quinn grabs my hand suddenly.

"Young master, please wait. I hear something." Quinn whispers with a concerned tone.

Believing Quinn I halt my actions and try to focus on my hearing. Low muffled voices echo through the temple with steps following. The noises grow closer when Quinn suddenly grabs my hand dragging me along with her as she runs towards the exit.
