Elementalists
Chapter 68 - Astrid Fire Baths
“You didn't hear wrong”
“B..b...b...b...b...ba...ba....vara—a..a...a...a...ak..aku—“ Selena stuttered great before finally being cut by Arya.
“You're okay – what? It's not that I'm expressing love to you, so there's no need to be confused to give an answer like that” Arya raised next to her eyebrows.
“Eh?”
Arya then reminded Selena of the day that the first time all the Elementalists had gathered, Arya was the last person to arrive. At that time, three people gave a direct greeting to him.
Selena was one of them, when their views met. Arya felt something warm filling her chest, from personal perception. Arya considers that love at first sight, although honestly she herself does not really understand what is meant by love.
Hearing the word – said Arya, Selena's face flushed with shame herself then swore in her heart about how stupid she had just felt to be overconfident.
“You don't have to think about it, it happened a long time ago too. At least I want you to know that I once felt that way to you”, Arya said.
“Early?” selena's re-tilizing her head.
“Huum, maybe that feeling is gone. And don't you like anyone else? How is your relationship progressing?”
“HAH?!”
Selena could not hide the shock from her face, the red hue there was more and more clearly visible. He even stood up in shock at Arya's question. Arya's heart also felt almost dislodged due to the screams arrived – arrived Selena.
“K..k..k..k..ka.ka.ka.kau! How can?!”
“Why? Didn't it go well?”
“Jawab my question first!” selena.
It was the first time Arya saw Selena's behavior like this, and it made her laugh.
“Feelings I guess, what is a girl walking alone for on weekends?” Arya tried to remind Selena of their meeting in the Elemental City center.
“Ugh...this embarrassing” Selena said inwardly while crouching and covering the face with both hands.
“You have a problem? What I need—“
“Enough! Please don't discuss that again”
“Ahaha alright, I'm trying to learn something. So I'd better get some sleep first, good night”
When Arya was no longer seen, Selena looked up to the night sky to calm down.
“If you could be that sensitive to others, how could you not be aware of how they all feel about you? Stoh” grunts slowly.
------<<>>------
The next day Arya asked about Selena's water bubble technique, which she used to cover her head in order to breathe underwater.
“Maybe only be able to survive within 10 meters only” Selena tells the range of water bubbles so that they should not be separated too far.
Arya thought for a moment before finally saying goodbye to Selena to go and ask her to practice swimming alone. When asked what to do, Arya just said she wanted to find a solution to the water bubble problem.
“By the way – says is something wrong?”
“No! No”
Somehow Arya feels Selena as if trying to avoid eye contact with her, when the air of Arya's existence disappears. Selena could only sigh in relief.
“Behaving as usual is impossible after hearing the word – you said last night! Basic!” Selena ruffled – shuffle hair with annoyance.
----<<>>----
Arya traced the shrub – shrub Dragon Island while carefully sniffing the aroma of plants there well – well. After about half an hour he found what he was looking for.
“Me! Gill Leaf's! With this can definitely” exclaimed Arya girang raised the height of a broad-leaved plant.
He also continued his activities to collect several Magical Plants, according to him if the main ingredients such as Gill Leaf of good quality can only grow here. Then the complementary plants he needed were definitely available as well.
While busy collecting plants, arrived – arrived Arya felt her footrest vibrate violently. At first he thought it was an earthquake, but the tremor was getting stronger and had an emergence tempo. It was like something heavy was being thrown into the ground at regular intervals.
Arya looked up at the several tall trees above her. When he narrowed his eyes, surprisingly the tree – tree disappeared just like a long-necked large animal head, he chewed the tree – giant tree like Arya chewed spinach.
“Brachiosaurus?!”
Aryan's mouth was wide open looking at the creature before him, a Dinosaur. Creatures that have been considered extinct, still live freely in this place. How could the ten of them not see a creature as big as a Dinosaur?, then he realized that they mostly screamed while closing their eyes when brought by Novis.
“But thank God it's not a karnivo—“
Not finished talking, another giant creature appeared next to Brachiosaurus. The newcomer without a stale base directly stuck the teeth – pointed teeth on the long neck of the poor creature.
“T-REX?!!” exclaim Arya hysterical.
Arya who reached for the handle of Mandalika to help Branchiosaurus in spite of the attack of one of the deadliest predators in history was immediately stunned. Because they both disappeared surprisingly.
Moments later, a loud debum hit the ground, the two dinosaurs were no longer alive. A red-winged giant lizard lands next to its two hunted carcasses and eats voraciously.
“Dragon? Somehow I like I just saw clearly using my own eyes how the food chain in this place runs” murmured Arya weak.
----<<>>----
“Aww” Arya grimacing in pain.
Because it is surrounded by shady trees, it will be very difficult to find this place if it was not mired like Arya. There is a stone altar in the middle – middle of the pool.
“This...warm water”.
Without a second thought, Arya immediately took off her clothes and soaked there. Because he felt tired and comfortable due to the hot springs, he was not able to withstand drowsiness.
I don't know how long he slept, but all he knows. His eyes immediately opened when he heard the splashing sound of water on the other side of the stone altar where he was leaning.
“Uahh....This place is indeed the most comfortable to rest, right?”
“There are people!” arya's heart melted
“Do not move”
Arya's steps immediately stopped, even though she did not know where the sound came from. He did not dare to take rash actions. The figure of the person speaking began to appear from behind the altar.
“Who dares – dare to enter the region—eh?”
A red-haired little girl looked at Arya in surprise. Arya turned her face while shouting and trying to cover her body using her hands.
“Why are you screaming? Humans are weird”
Only then did Arya realize that she was on the island of dragons. In other words this little girl before him was also definitely a dragon, she immediately apologized while breathing a sigh of relief. He was still thinking of being accused of being a paedophile a while ago.
After hearing Arya's explanation, the girl laughed out loud – bahak. Arya still trying to keep her distance because they both are the same – do not use a single dress on the body – each.
“That's a fact that you humans are thinking too much about unimportant things, after all a dragon does not need to wear clothes you know. So you fell in here, deserved to find my warm pool, oh yeah. My name is Astrid”
“Arya” says slowly.
“You're brave enough to get to this region? What are you doing?”
“Searching for some plants”
“Ehh? Didn't you get interference from the deformed dragons?”
“What dragon?” arya is confused.
“Defected dragons, creatures – large-bodied creatures around here”
“You mean the Dinosaurs?”
“Do you call it? I don't really care because they are just being our hunt” Astrid commented lightly.
Astrid then told Arya that the creature they called the dragon – deformed dragon was also some who were transferred to this place by the first generation Elementalists. Arya finally understood the reason why Dinosaurs still exist today on Dragon Island.
The two of them kept talking and unexpectedly, it turned out to be quite pleasant Arya thought. After a long time Astrid arrived – arrived jump and sit on the altar.
“I like you, how about I give you a little gift” cried Astrid while raising one hand that has been wrapped in golden fire.
“What's—Waa!!”
Arya tries to take cover when Astrid throws the fireball, but the flame does not burn Arya's body. Rather than traveling slowly throughout the surface of the pool water, Arya felt her body filled with energy again.
“Not to be afraid, my fire is only one level below the Phoenix fire. Can restore condition and increase endurance, didn't I say I'll give you a gift?” Astrid pouting.
“Ahaha sorry, I don't know. Thank you Astrid”
“Sama – sama” reply smile.
As Astrid got up from a sitting position, clothes instantly appeared enveloping her tiny body. He turned towards Arya while grinning.
“Looks like that fool was lucky enough to get you, give him my regards”
“Hmm? Who?”
“Who else? Of course Cornus”
“Chairman Cornus?! I think it's a bit impolite if you call an Elder like that” commented Arya.
“Hah...for what should I be polite to him” Astrid replied lightly.
“Wait first! Can you tell me your name again? The complete”
“Ehh...I don't think you will ask, Ignisar Astridear Vulcanor” along with saying that, two giant wings emerged from his back.
“You?!—“
Astrid flew into space and Arya failed to finish his sentence.
“Observe – be careful when you return! Don't be a handicapped dragon meal huh? Nyahahaha”
“Tua Klan Ignisar?!”
