5.2 Losing

"Scarlett!"

I know that what I done is dangerous, but Scarlett is still little, so she might as well be in danger. I can't let that happen to her.

"Scarlett!" I screamed again. I looked back from the direction I came out from. I don't know if it's just me or is the forest seems to be moving around. I should have asked for Uncle's help to find Uncle. I want to go back, but it's dark now... I'm getting scared.

I was startled when I heard a sudden noice. This is not a forest full of monsters, right? This place is near to the market place so it has to be a safe place..

I heard noices again I quickly looked back to catch anything in sight, but there's nothing anything there. I need to be strong, in the past minutes I been here, Scarlett should have gotten out the forest and maybe with my Uncle now. The moment Uncle noticed my absence, he'll definitely find me. Until then, I'll stay strong! I need to find a place to stay.

I picked a dried tree branch to use it as to push the leaves blocking my path. I wanted to make a fire to light up my way, but I don't want to attract any beast and also, I think the Heilig Star is bright enough for me to see my way I--- I know! I remembered back in Earth thay stars can be use as a direction. I think Heilig can lead me to north. Surely my Uncle would also think that way. I'll find a place there and wait for Uncle. That's right! I need to fastwn my pace!

"Mother, What's happening? Why is Father-Emperor had the men out this hour?" I asked as I approached Mom at the door.

"Henry my son... A terrible news. Luxiain is missing." Mom said sorrowfully. What?

'How did that happen, mother? She was with Uncle Fenwick." Mom sighed.

"According to your Father-Emperor, while Sir Fenwick was arresting someone, Luxian entered the forest to search for her Fey, but right after Sir Fenwick got out, so does Luxiain's Fey, but not her." I was stunned. Forest...?

"Are the forest you are talking about is the one connected to the Sacreforis?" I asked. Mom was saddened more. Sacreforis... Despite having no high walls against it, bandits, convicts and other criminal dare not to enter through the forest. It was a forbidden area, because it's dangerous. There are a lot of monsters and beast in there. Only high ranking warrior and magicians dare to do so for herbs and other valuable rare materials, but for a kid...

"My poor friend. She must be grieving right now. Come, let's go my dear child, let us go to your Aunt Luci." Mom pulled me inside the Palace. I saw Hilda at the sides, seeing her shock reaction I am confident that she's not the one behind this. I am happy that she is not. This means that whatever's happening is all according to Luxiain's faith. I hope she comes back home safe. God Matr Femella, you given her life and save her from death. To whatever happening to her, guide her.

"Young Miss!"

"Young Miss, can you hear us?!!"

"Where are you!"

I tried using my Search spell but duw to the force restricting my spell, it is week and the place I can search into is very limited. We really need to search all over the place. Luxiain. I hope you're alright. Uncle wouldn't know what to do if something bad happened to you. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself losing someone again.

"Widen your search area! Make sure to look every where! Left no place unturned!"
