Aranama

Whatever it is. Can you believe this? Even at the end of the tunnel, there is a way, but it is not sure that it is the right one, and the future, be that as it may, in this life or the birth of a god? Or is it just our imagination playing with us? Or not?

Celestial sign

We finished quite quickly, as quickly as we moved in, but I expected it to be more difficult, but we still have a lot of wandering to do, our journey cannot end here.

As we walked out of the big house, Belmod was standing on one step of the stairs there and just waved at us, the absence of the small house was noticeable, as if it had disappeared.

Farther and further from the house, which disappeared in an instant, I rubbed my eyes in surprise and looked at it again, but the whole place was already missing her figure, it's a strange world.

Now that I think about it, it was also strange that Aika suddenly woke up from that deadly disease, but maybe there is no coincidence in this. I turned forward with a minor or rather a deliberate smile.

We followed the marked path, which leads us straight to the forest with a thousand faces, it is quite a pleasant feeling to walk in sunny weather, but in short, because of this, I feel a strange restlessness that does not let me rest.

"Telepathic Communication"

Mizeya: - Can you look around?

Faina: - I have already done it since I know you well, and I am also oppressed by this strange feeling.

Mizeya: - Do you feel it too?

Faina: - Our souls are almost united, although you are not yet a Soul Holder, I feel what you do regardless.

Mizeya: - I understand, and have you found the source of this feeling?

Faina: - This is beyond strange.

Mizeya: - What is it?

Faina: - This is my sister and it seems to me that she is waiting for you.

Mizeya: - Where is she?

Faina: - I can feel her presence in front of the forest.

Mizeya: - Thanks for the help, I'll thank you with something later.

Faina: - With nothing.

We all step, one foot after the other, leaving behind us on the fresh ground, it already feels like an inexplicably heavyweight is weighing on us, or is it only weighing on my feet?

We may have arrived, but I can clearly see the woman's figure in front of the wood, or are they just imagining it, it's completely as if I'm in a dream since I received the sword, I don't even know what reality is anymore.

We are getting closer and closer, now I can see her face, I look back when my name is called.

Aika: - Mizeya, who is that in front of us?

Sinaka: - That woman!

Sinaka pulls out his sword and points it at the elf woman, but he didn't do anything because Mizeya immediately held his hand there and nailed his sword to the ground.

Mizeya: - That's enough, wait here.

Leaving the princess and Sinaka behind me, I went forward in the woman's direction.

Demigra: - So you knew I would be here, Faina?

Mizeya: - I don't have to worry about this then. Why did you come back?

Demigra: - You don't have to misunderstand this situation, I still want to kill the princess.

Mizeya: - Then why didn't you do it already, I know you cured her, I felt your soul waves on her.

Demigra: - And now you want to thank me? Whatever.

Mizeya: - What are you going to do after this? You can't go back to Karola.

Demigra: - I will join the adventurers of Syronida, the army cannot reach there anymore.

He watches every little thing she says with a look of disdain, but she couldn't look at the boy any longer.

Demigra: - Why are you looking so sad? I'll be fine.

Mizeya: - I know, I'm only worried about my teammates, would a mission matter that much to them?

Demigra: - We were taught in the army that the fulfillment of the mission is above all else and if we fail to fulfill it, then we will be rewarded with death immediately, especially since we are the KAROLA.

Mizeya: - Syronida would matter that much to you, why can't we be independent?

The girl looks at me, then grabs the top of my head as if rocking a child.

Demigra: - It doesn't work like that, unfortunately, we can't judge or decide this ourselves, there are simply too many factors or people who hinder freedom and independence.

Mizeya: - I will make sure that I am free, even if someone else will intervene, I will be ready.

She hugs Mizeya's body equipped with knight armor, then walks to the boy's back and disappears, leaving one last sentence for the boy.

Demigra: - Try not to die.

Silence covered the place, we haven't even entered the forest, it was already putting such a big burden on my shoulders, will I be able to handle it?

Aika/Sinaka: - Mizeya!

Mizeya: - We can go.

As we entered the thousand-faced forest, a huge amount of aura immediately flowed throughout the place, as if I was suffocating but could breathe.

I immediately looked back, because surely there is a person among us whose aura core is too low for her body to bear this pressure.

Mizeya: - Aika, are you okay?

The girl began to gasp for air as if she were suffocating, but she couldn't even breathe.

I go over to her and try to calm her down, but it's no use, is she going to die here in my arms? I don't like to panic, what should I do now?

Sinaka: - Give it to me.

I quickly handed the girl to Sinaka, who took out the fan on his back and waved it in front of the girl, which caused a bubble to form, which caused the princess to catch her breath, but Sinaka said something else.

Sinaka: - You have to swallow this bubble now, don't be afraid, nothing will happen.

She did as the boy told her, then swallowed the bubble, and now she was able to stand up on her own.

I really won't be able to take this huge pressure for long, so we need to go to a safe zone as soon as possible. Mizeya's thoughts.

Maybe we came to this forest completely unnecessarily? Is there no other way to the cave?

Sinaka: - Follow me.

We follow the young adventurer, who seems to know perfectly where we need to go, we just try to follow him, but suddenly a huge creature emerges from the ground.

An amazingly tall creature broke into the sky in front of us and then looked deeply into our eyes, if I had to describe its appearance, I would say a mixture of a snake and a fish.

Sinaka turns and then comes to me so that he can whisper something in my ear.

Sinaka: - This is a Ventis.

Ventis?

Mizeya: - What is Ventis?

The strange creature goes to the princess's heat, then to each of us, as if examining us, what can it want?

Ventis: - I welcome you.

"Telepathic Communication"

Faina: - Be very careful and fulfill all his demands or even I won't be able to help you, you will die immediately.

Mizeya: - What?

Faina: - Just follow his orders.

You have helped me a lot now Faina, thank you.

Mizeya: - Then where were we?

I look at the creature with a forced smile.

Ventis: - I'll tell you the rules.

Rules? It wasn't about that, to carry out his orders.

The boy next to me and the princess bow down.

Sinaka: - We listen to your rules.

Then I just try to imitate Sinaka's movements, I also bowed before the mystical creature.

Ventis: - There are three main rules, if you break one of them to the order-giver, you will die immediately and your soul will be destroyed.

The giver of orders is a creature of the same level as the one who binds the contracts is the white hooded creature, only this creature is called the black hooded creature, the two creatures do not have a physical body, but apart from them there are 5 other such creatures, they are called the Half Apostles, who are ruled by the Apostle.

I whispered to Sinaka.

Mizeya: - Will my soul become nothing?

Sinaka: - It's much worse than death, here it doesn't even give you the chance to live again in a new life.

Ventis: - First rule, if you can't answer at least one of the three questions, you automatically die immediately.

Mizeya: - This is much simpler than I thought.

The creature started mumbling something, then Mizeya's right arm broke.

Mizeya: - AGHHHHHHHHHH, what did you do to me?

Aika: - Miz...

Sinaka whispers.

Sinaka: - Not a word, keep quiet or we will all die.

Ventis: - Second rule, if you leave the area or even make physical contact with the game master, you die immediately. Third rule, if you answered all three questions successfully, you can leave, but if you didn't know the answer to even one, then you have to act with your own body according to my command.

There were no rules as to what the injured person would do if he could not answer 1 question.

He opens his huge teeth wide and just smiles with that disgustingly wide mouth.

Ventis: - Can the game begin?
