Ch. 144 - Enchanted Forest?

After the sheer blushing and embarrassment from Luna calling Helen and Elsa as mamas, their journey took them several days as the Enchanted Forest is quite far from Arendelle and they had to make a few stops to replenish themselves with food and water.

Their journey obviously wasn't that smooth as they encountered quite a few 'bumps' on the way such as Bears, a pack of wolves that started chasing the car, and many other animals that Leo doesn't recognize and assumes that it must be some sort of animal unique only to this world.

Leo even saw a bee in flames, which Elsa calls the Hot Bees.

Hearing the word Hot Bee made him remember a certain Bee main character that has a famous line.

'Ya like Jazz?'

Remembering that Bee almost made Leo cackle in laughter. He remembers laughing so hard when he watched that movie for the first time.

It's not like it's bad but it was just too weird and uncommon when it comes to animated films.

Unlike other animated films such as Frozen or Wall-E, those movies were full-blown animated movies for kids. Bee, on the other hand, contains a few sexual jokes that only parents and adults would be able to understand.

'I hope I don't end up in that world or else I might be forced to commit a genocide to bees.' Silently praying in his heart, Leo drove for the rest of the journey.

"That's a large Mist." Helen's jaw dropped open after seeing a huge white Mist blocking them, acting as if some kind of permanent barrier.

"And you say no one can go through this?" As they came to a halt, Helen got out and slowly approached the Mist.

"Yes, no one can enter through it." Elsa nodded her head and replied.

"Pfft! They must be weak then! This is just a Mist! You can just walk through it like this." As if to show it to her, Helen tried to walk inside like normal, however, before she could even pass through the Mist, it was as if she was facing a metallic wall instead.

Her feet and hand can be seen being swallowed by the smoke and yet, it was stuck, no longer moving forward.

"T-This…" Helen chuckled, trying to recover from the sheer embarrassment she was now experiencing.

"Uh-huh. Come on, show it to us." Smirking, Elsa crossed her arms and said, clearly not gonna let this slide.

"Haha. I-It's easy, of course! J- Just give me a moment!" Smiling awkwardly, Helen kept pushing through the Mist, as if she could get through by using force.

Meanwhile, Leo wasn't paying attention to them. He was focused on the surroundings, his senses were up and active, trying to make sure that nothing bad would happen to them.

Of course, he was also paying attention to weird sounds, more specifically the singing of nature, after all, it is what led Elsa to the Enchanted Forest and also opened the Mist to her.

Looking back at Elsa and seeing the smirked expression on her face, Leo knew that she wasn't hearing them yet.

'Do we really need to wait for the nature to sing before we can enter the Enchanted Forest?' Thinking of this, Leo was now considering another world plan instead of waiting hours, days, or even years like this.

"Elsa," Leo called out to her.

"Hm?" Elsa shifted her attention to him.

"It's just like you said, we can't get in. What are we gonna do now?"

"I Uhmm, wait. Let me think…." Elsa panicked.

"I think we can d-." Just as she was making excuses, Elsa suddenly stopped in her tracks and her eyes widened in confusion.

"Hear what?" Taking advantage of that she's no longer the center of attention, Helen leaves the Mist alone and reunites with them.

"That voice," Elsa replied, not fully paying attention to Helen. Instead, her focus is on the voice she is hearing.

"You are freaking me out, Elsa." Helen was creeped out.

"Shh! I think it's getting closer!" Hushing her, Elsa closed her eyes to focus and hear the voice clearly.

"Haaa~Ahhh~." As for Leo, the reason behind his silence was because he was hearing the voice also!

'How am I hearing it too? I'm not a spirit.' Leo muttered under his breath, confusion bearing on his face.

"I think it's coming from beyond that Mist wall." While speaking, Leo pointed at the large wall of Mist.

"You're right! I also think it is co-wait…you're also hearing the voice?!" Elsa's eyes widened in surprise as she turned her head to stare at Leo obviously not expecting him to hear what she was hearing also.

She already took the hint from Helen's reaction that she might be the only one hearing the voice, not expecting Leo to share the same thing she's experiencing.

"We should investigate it." Leo maintained a serious face and declared before marching forward towards the wall of Mist. Behind him was Elsa who followed his trail.

"Wait up you guys! What are you two hearing that I can't hear!" Feeling left alone, Helen gritted her teeth and chased after them.

As Leo expected the moment his hand reached for the Mist wall, the Mist quickly separated in half, giving a clear path to the three of them.

"This is amazing!" Helen's mouth was wide open, her eyes darting everywhere as her vision was filled with nothing but the whitish color of the Mist.

"Stay close close to me Helen." Leo expressed his concern and held both Helen and Elsa's hands. If he only held one of them, no doubt another fight between them would break out, so he might as well prevent it in the first place.

Both the girls blushed and didn't refuse the handholding.

Obviously, Leo didn't do this just to flirt with them. He's actually making sure that they won't be buried by the Mist as he can sense the entrance they went from was already closed and also closing in on them.

In the film, the Mist actually only opened up to Elsa, the others who were following her weren't, so once Elsa passed through the entrance, the entrance would close on them.

"This is!" After walking a few meters, they finally stopped in their tracks when the Mist finally cleared up as if it was pushed by a gush of wind.

Four thick and tall stones can be seen surrounding them, with the middle one missing or perhaps simply having a gap.

"What is this?" Helen and Elsa weren't spared either. Their mouths were so wide open that a fly could just fly inside and make it its home.

"Let's continue forward." Leo uttered after a few minutes of deciphering and examining the stonehenges.

Moving forward, the Mist continues showing them the path ahead.

A few minutes later, just when Leo thought they were trapped inside the Mist, the said mist was finally fading out, showing the scenery in front.

Stopping in their tracks, the trio stared at the scene in front of them with wide-eyed awe.

Tall trees with red, orange, and gold leaves seemed to shimmer in the soft light of the sun, the trees' roots snaking across the forest floor. A thin mist hovered a few inches from the ground, glowing faintly, and blue flowers peeked out from the underground.

The whole place felt like it was alive, humming quietly as if it was telling something. Pillars of light broke through the trees, casting long shadows on the ground.

Leo swears that he can even hear a soft melody across the distance, attracting his attention.

"This is breathtaking. Its like we're in an entirely different world!" Elsa couldn't help but comment.

"I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels the same." Helen also chimed in on the side.

"Stop. I sense someone coming towards us." Leo raised his hand to stop them and silently pointed at their left and right side.

Both Elsa and Helen glanced at each other and communication was soon established, nodding their heads, Helen activated her suit while Elsa didn't need to do anything and simply conjured an ice sword from her left hand.

With Elsa and Helen facing the right side, Leo on the other hand faced the other one.

The three of them waited for a few seconds before they started hearing the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Its here! I heard someone hear!" Followed up by a shout, the trio tensed up, ready for battle.

Soon enough, two different parties joined them from each side. The left party looked like a tribe while the right party looked like a bunch of royal people stranded and lost, with each carrying their own set of rusty swords.

"I knew it! Its you people again!" The leader of the tribe, an old woman glared at the other party as she accused them.

"You people? Excuse me! And what do you mean by 'Again'? Don't you remember, it was your tribe who started all of this!" The leader of the other party, was a dark skinned man with a hardened face, indicating that the man has gone and seen almost everything the world has to offer.

"Liar!" With the angry about of the old woman, her fellow tribe members raised their weapons, which are just a bunch of farming tools, compared to the dark skinned man's men, who's weapons are a bunch of steel swords.

"Should we stop them?" Elsa whispered to Leo.

"No. Let them be. I'm interested in this." Leo smirked and laid back on a chair he took out from his inventory.
