Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter IV Chapter 149

They still couldn't believe what had just happened. Claus and the others were slanting as they exited the Lost Forest and saw the city gates.

We. it worked. Her thought.

"Hm... Hundreds of years ago, Moonshade was still a small town. It could be seen from their not-so-high gate. That means Helian is leading them very well." Mumbled Alice. Given the woman's temperament, he was suspicious of her way of leading her people. However, after seeing the comparison between the Moonshade city in the past and the future, Alice became convinced that Helian was a good leader.

As they walked towards the gate. The people behind her were still confused by Alice's ability. They were still unceasingly looking at the back of the mysterious woman who had come out of nowhere.

"Not only was he strong in fighting, he could even pass through the Lost Forest easily. Is it possible that he is actually one of the higher-ups of this kingdom or..he is an important person who has a relationship with the royal family?" Claus muttered narrowed his eyes looking at Alice.

At first he himself did not believe it and thought they would spend a long time inside that forest. But after a long time they walked after him, his intuition turned out to be wrong.

"Auntie, don't tell me she's actually from the royal family." Leafa's whisper to Claudia.

"Hush! don't say anything carelessly." Tepis Claudia's. He was afraid of offending her even further, especially if she was really an important person from the royal family.

Alice took her breath. "I can hear you guys.." His mind.

Arriving in front of the gate. It turned out that the people who wanted to enter the Moonshade city were quite a lot so they had to queue to pass through the checkpoint.

Judging from their appearance, Alice could judge that they were also refugees.

"I didn't expect those monsters to cause much disaster to the small villages out there."

Before long they stood in line, someone suddenly came up and rebuked Elysia.

"You! Elysia?! Why are you still alive?!"

Alice immediately caught the strange intent of the elven woman's words.

"Basic disaster carrier. What are you here for? Do you also want to get into the city?!" The woman loudly asked the question with the intention of deliberately cornered Elysia.

Elysia nodded. His eyes glanced to the left and to the right looking at the crowd of people who were starting to whisper.

There is nothing good they whisper. Everyone looked at Elysia with suspicious looks.

Because of that woman, her body trembled in fear.

"Go! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't all end up like this! You're the one who brought those monsters to our village." The woman continued in a loud voice as she turned to the people behind her.

People began to curse him, especially those from the same village as him. They cursed him, denounced him. They refused his presence.

"That's right! Go!"

"Disaster-carrier! Go then!

"We're afraid you're gonna bring us shit."

"This city is not your place. You're the kid who brought disaster!"

The woman smiled cynically looking at the people supporting her and cursing at Elysia.

"heard right? Get out soon or we'll force you out."

The trembling Elysia could not argue. His lips became stiff, his mouth that was clenched open and closed could not take out a single word. He stuttered and did not wiggle.

Elysia shifted her legs back slowly. She's afraid. The faces and gazes of the people around him frightened him.

Mothers.... Mothers....In her little heart Elysia wished her mother would come and hold her.

Alice who began to grow angry with their slurs. His fists were so tight and he wanted to silence their mouths one by one, but when he wanted to step forward and hug the little girl, the scenery around him changed.

He could not move his body. As if she was entangled by something, Alice could only stare at the girl trembling in fear while covering her head under her two small arms.

Slowly the atmosphere turned into what was in that sea of memories. Alice sees Claus and his family vanish into the shadows as well as Leafa.

He, Elysia and those who scolded him, they were in darkness. Negative emotions so densely enveloped around them.

"It...Claus and the others...So it's like that." Alice realized that what happened was one of the important events that caused the black bubble at that time.

Claus and his family are gone, indicating that they shouldn't be here. Alice who saved them will not change for what ever happened in Elysia's memory.

"Then that means he's here alone?" Askthemind.

Imagining such a little girl walking alone in the dark of the forest made her miserable. It turned out that he had been alone all this time, trekking through the forest in the midst of danger that did not know when it appeared.

His chest grew heavier thinking of Elysia. That little body endured so much suffering. In the cruelty of the world, he had nowhere to lean.

He has no home to go to and no place to go.

"Gosom..." Alice said her name.

Alice clenched her teeth. He exhaled a slow, long breath to calm his tempered heart. "I didn't think that magic like this could trap me. If that's the case, I just need to use more of my energy."

Her legs, her hands, Alice slowly moved all her body to escape the rope of fate. Qi energy flowed out enveloping his body. Slowly, his Qi energy overflowed.

"Elysia.I'll come." Her speech.

Little by little, he could step. His body was so heavy and his legs seemed to be pulled back by something.

"God! Dream that you want to hold me back with just a lowly trick like this. Trying to curb this majestic figure. No kidding! Off!"

Like a broken glass, Alice managed to break away. He walked closer and closer to Elysia.

Hearing their bitter slurs, Elysia continued to retreat slowly. He wanted to leave, he wanted to stay away, very far away from them.

Fearful...I'm afraid.huhu...mom... Elysia was crying in her heart. The smiles and grinning faces of the villagers were extremely sinister.

BUKK. His body hit someone.

Her hair stood up, that small and innocent face lost its color. He's trapped. It is like being surrounded by wolves. Elysia was unable to stand up straight.

Elysia slowly turned around. When he saw a hand pointing at him. He took cover under both arms. "N-no." Elysia thought that the man wanted to catch her, but the hand stopped above her head.

Slow caresses and strokes that felt warm into his heart made him wide.

"Eh?"

Elysia raised her face and found Alice in front of her eyes. Alice immediately grabbed him tightly.

"Don't worry. I was right here. You don't have to be afraid." Alice wiped the little girl's tears. He closed both his ears. With a gentle smile Alice said. "No need to listen to them. You are not what they say. Elysia is Elysia. You are neither a bad-ass carrier nor a disaster bearer. You are a beautiful beautiful and beautiful girl like a goddess." Alice whispered softly into Elysia's ear. "You are someone precious to me. Don't be afraid, I won't leave you."

The sentence calmed his heart that was raging in fear. Like the sun, Alice's sincere expression brought light to Elysia. Alice's voice seemed to pull her from the abyss of darkness.

"Come on. We're getting out of here." Alice stand. He took Elysia away from that place.

Elysia wiped her tears. He smiled and nodded. "Pulse. Good Auntie."

The two of them clasped their hands together to walk into the city.

"Whatever happens, I will always be there for you. I'll erase your nightmare." Inner Alice.

Time just stops. One of the events that chained Elysia's heart he managed to disappear.

As time went on in their togetherness. The little girl grew up to be a teenage girl. I don't know how many decades have passed. Alice no longer counted them. For him, as long as this dream was not finished, then it meant that they were still trapped in Erebos' black magic.
