Strange Killer

I stared at him speechlessly. How can I leave a person who I cherish a lot in danger? How can I let such a person suffer?

I looked into his emotionless eyes, "You know the answer."

"I don't know that's why I am asking you", he said.

He doesn't know. Huh...

" Maybe", I said.

He laughed, "So you are not sure about that."

He grabbed my hands, "Mia but I am sure about what I will do. That's why no matter how hard you push me away I will still help you."

For a while there was silence. Our eyes were locked with each other.

Lin smiled, "Mia everyone needs help. Everyone needs someone's assistance and help. Even the Legendary Princess Chi needs help and assistance."

With those words, he got up from his place and left. I felt empty when he left. I felt really bad.

"I am sorry Lin but I can't help but doubt you because you are the beast who is more powerful than the leaders besides Liam. You both are my suspects now. I am sorry Lin, I didn't mean to say those words. I will always protect even if it costs my life."

Tears were flowing uncontrollably down my face. After a while, I cleaned my tears and looked back at the paper. It was great that the writing was done with magical ink or he might have seen it. It is the great thing I like about this ink that only its owner can see it.

I then went to see the people who were healing themselves under the healing tree.

They had all healed. Their willpower seems quite strong because only people with strong willpower recover quickly under this tree.

I went to them.

At my sight, they began to get up from the ground. I hurriedly stopped them, "No need to get up. Just keep sitting there."

I sat there with them."You all had recovered quite fastly. That's great. Anyways I was here to discuss something with you three."

The old man nodded, "We are hearing Your Highness."

"I know that the situation you are going through isn't easy but can you try to recall the killer? And see if there was something different or strange about him?", I asked them.

They went into deep thoughts.

The young boy spoke up, "There was indeed something strange about him."

I looked at him, "Can you please discuss it?"

He nodded, "The killer was as fast as a White Wolf but the wind magic he used developed a cold wind. Sometimes it would turn into a fire like a hot wind."

It is indeed strange, "So, you mean he was using the powers of three different beasts."

The lady began to speak, "Your Highness, I also noticed something similar. He attacked me with a wind sword that had the handle of wood essence."

Then the old man began to speak, "When he attacked me he used the powers of all the four beasts. He attacked with the speed of light. The arrows he shot were grass blades. His word was made of fire and he froze me with the magic of fire."

What??? How can such a thing happen? These are the powers that only I possess. Is there someone else who has the same ability as me? Who could it be?

I looked at them, "Can you tell me about his appearance?"

The lady spoke, "He had quite a height. His complexion must be fair. I saw his visible neck. As for his body, it was quite built up..."

The boy interrupted, "His hairs were extremely strange. They would change their color from red to black and black to red."

"His eyes were also changing color from green to blue and blue to green. However, the rest of his face and body were covered", the old man said.

I began to think about it. It is really strange for hair and eyes to keep switching their colors. I hope something really serious might not happen.

"Thanks for cooperating. I want to ask you whether you all want to go back home or stay here?", I asked them.

"I want to go back to protect others so, they might don't had to face such pain", the lady said.

"I also want to do the same", the old man replied.

But the boy was quiet. I looked at him, "What about you?"

He looked at me, "Your Highness, You said that you would let me become your guard. I want to protect because if you are saved then you will be able to protect the beasts."

He is a very deep person. His thoughts are quite different from others as well.

I smiled at him, "As you all wish. I won't force any of you for anything. Boy, can you tell me your name?"

He nodded, "Leng Feng."

"Feng, then you will receive training in the Magical Arena. From. now on you will live here on the island. Are you okay with that?", I asked him.

He nodded.

I looked at Hao, "Hao, from now on his living and training are your responsibility. Take him to the Residence and prepare a schedule for his training."

Hao nodded. They all then went away. I went back home. At night I was sitting in bed and busy noting down the new information I received. This killer is getting on my nerves now.

The killer is really weird. Someone who kills others and then takes away their bodies. He changes his eyes and hair color. Uses the powers of all the beasts.

Though I suspect Lin and Liam I haven't noticed something like this in them. I am for sure missing out on something. I read the paper again and again.

At last, I was very frustrated and threw the paper on the pillow and fell on the bed. Wait a minute...

The killer until now had only killed and taken away young boys. He had also hunted them because they... Oh no.
