Chapter 6-Trouble in Eruditio

A monster attacked Eruditio and bring havoc to the people.

"Eruditio is under attacked! Prepare to fight." Bruno order the troops.

"This was so strange Bruno, where did this monster came from?" Chou asked.

"I don't know, but no matter what, we will fight!" Bruno replied.

"We must be extra careful."

"Thanks man."

The Eruditio guards fought the monster, but it's not an easy foe. They have hard time on defeating it. A voice of a woman spoke up and ordered the monster to stop. The monster follow the voice.

The myterious woman walked in and change herself into a beautiful woman with two horns and wings at her back. The people in Eruditio was terrified on what they saw.

Bruno attempt to attack but Chou stops him.

"Why are you all scared? Didn't you appreciate this beauty I have?"

"Who are you?" Bruno asked.

"Ohh.. I never introduced myself yet. I'm Alice, the Queen of the blood demons."

"What do want in this place?" Chou asked.

"Well, I'm just looking for someone. Have you seen a mysterious maiden wandering around?"

They looked at Chou, and he himself was shocked after what Alice said.

Bruno whispered to Chou. "I hope what I'm thinking about is wrong."

"About what?"

"About her."

"No Bruno, I believe she's looking for someone else. Not Leandra."

"You all heard what I say, if you have the maiden, then give her to me, or else I will destroy all of you!"

"You're just wasting your time looking for nothing here!" Chou exclaimed.

"Yeahh! What you're looking for is not here." Tiago added.

"Look for somewhere else! maybe the one you're looking for is actually in that place." Bruno said.

"Well, if I found out that you're hiding someone in this place, I'll come back with my minions and wipeout all of you." Alice fly away and left, so on the monster also.

they left the people of Eruditio with fear in their heart.

"Chou, didn't you bring a stranger in your house?"

"What if the maiden that was with Chou is the one she's looking for."

"Yeah, do you really know who she is Chou? What if she's that person?"

"Please, believe me! What you're thinking is impossible. She's only an ordinary maiden." Chou exclaimed.

"What if it's true? Do you really know that girl? And where she came from?" Juno added.

"She's a wandering maiden right? What if it's true!"

The crowd is now outraged, like sound of the heavy eathquake and a sound of thunder in the heavy rain.

"Please, everybody! Calm down!" Bruno shouted.

"Drive her out of the city! or else, we will drive you out!"

"Please listen, she don't have a family and home, she needs a shelter!" Chou said, "What wrong she has done to deserve this?"

"Please listen everyone, maybe this is just a coincident!" Bruno said, "What if the one she's looking for is not here in this place? Leandra is not the only maiden in the world."

Bruno try his best to defend  Chou, he successfully convinced the people. The boiling heat cools down, everything is back to normal.

Leandra learn about what happened and decide to leave Eruditio. She wrote a letter and put it on the table.

Chou got home and everything is quite, as quiet as the graveyard in the middle of the night.

"Leandra!" Chou look for her everywhere but found no one.

Chou was worried about her, he tried to take a look outside, also in the large stone where she used to sat. Chou go back inside and found the letter.

Chou, I'm sorry. I think I need to go away, there's so many things you won't understand, stories you don't know about. Since I've been with you, I feel happiness I never felt before, and feelings I never felt since the beginning of my world. I love you so much Chou.. But I need to leave, forgive me.. goodbye.

-Leandra-

Chou ran outside, as fast as he can. Hoping that he can pursue her. "Leandra!"

Chou try to look anywhere, while Leandra is in a distance from Eruditio, she looked back, like saying goodbye to the place. Remembering all the moments and memories she has in that place. "Goodbye Chou.."

She moved on, start to advance in her journey, put on the cowl in her head.

Tears fall from her eyes while walking away brings with her the happy memories and her love for Chou in her heart.

Chou keep looking for Leandra. "Do you see a maiden? She has yellow hair, with black on other side."

"No, Sorry."

"Thank you." Chou proceed.

Chou asked people everywhere, some said they notice the maiden and some said they don't.

"Leandra why?" Chou said to himself.

Chou return home, where the colorful rainbow lost and everything turns into grey. Chou spend the night without Leandra, he felt emptiness since she left.
