After a journey so difficult to travel... Kruiya felt that this world had many things unknown to him, and the word "Mystery" was all Kruiya could say to this world.
After fighting the Wolferns who were chasing after Kruiya, Elies and Serra yesterday, the three of them still continued their journey to meet a man
《Magic》which is at the foot of the mountain that Kruiya and others will pass through.
Today Kruiya and others will enter the dangerous mountain range Serra said at the time.
What danger is that to Serra? Will there be creepy creatures waiting for me and the others? I don't know that because I've never felt it myself. Well..better later there are no obstacles like monsters and wild beasts.
A few hours walking towards the mountain range, the three of them had reached the mountain pass. But the road they were about to cross was a little dangerous, because the road they were going through was a bridge that connected the forest and the mountain under which the abyss was very deep.
That bridge looks so old and unkempt, is it possible that me and the others could cross this bridge? How long has this bridge been unused? Yes it is. Inevitably I had to cross this bridge, because I was lazy to turn around looking for another way.
"Sir...how is this, are we going to cross this bridge?"
Elies asked Kruiya about the bridge they were going through that looked dangerous because it was not maintained.
"We better get through it"
Kruiya answered while thinking whether the bridge is safe or not? Then Kruiya took a rock as big as his hand and threw it at the bridge.
The stone was thrown and fell onto the bridge, there was no reaction and strangeness when it fell onto the bridge.
It looks like the bridge is still strong and sturdy even though it looks master and not maintained.
"All right, we're going through it now!" Kruiya said to invite others
Kruiya walked over the bridge first to reduce the risk of falling. Slowly and carefully Kruiya walked over the bridge below which was a very deep abyss. As Kruiya looked down at the bridge, Kruiya felt that something was pulling him down, that made Kruiya immediately pass this bridge and finally Kruiya managed to pass this bridge and have entered the mountainous area.
Now for Elies and Serra to cross that bridge.
What was that? Why it was as if I felt pulled down the abyss when I looked down at the bridge.
"Elies! You do not look down at the bridge, just do not look down and stay focused what is in front of you"
Kruiya shouted and advised Elies and Serra about the strange thing that would happen if he looked down at the bridge.
"Well sir, if that's what sir says!"
Elies replied to Kruiya and walked over the bridge slowly and carefully, Elies focused on what was in front of Elies as Kruiya said.
Then Elies came to where Kruiya was, now it was Serra's turn to cross the bridge. Serra looked terrified as she wanted to cross that bridge.
"Serra...! Now it's your turn to go through it"
Shouted Elies to Serra who did not cross the bridge.
"All right...! I'll get through it"
Serra replied with a frightened face, because Serra felt that something was going to happen as she was about to walk on the bridge.
It didn't take long... Serra braved herself to cross the bridge, as she was about to step her foot she felt something pulling her from the depths of the abyss.
"Serra! Remember, don't look down"
Kruiya yelled for Serra not to be pulled down.
Serra carefully stepped step by step walking across the bridge, fearing and worried that Serra would dare herself, even though Serra had a thought, "what would happen if I fell" Serra imagined if she fell into a deep abyss. If he falls, he cannot be saved by anyone, either Elies or Kruiya, but if he was still alive when he fell and inside the bottom of the abyss it was also impossible that he would survive, he also did not know what was at the bottom of this deep abyss? Is there a dangerous monster or something else. Serra walked on the bridge while holding the rope of the bridge that supports the bridge. With a focus facing forward, Serra finally managed to pass the bridge and reach the place of Kruiya and Elies.
"I'm finally here..."
Serra said with the leg over the bridge, Serra's heart was tight and it made Serra fall prostrate while in front of Kruiya and Elies.
What Serra was going through now was an experience that made her become someone brave. After the three of them passed the bridge, they continued their journey towards where 《Magic》 was. Just a few minutes walking they saw the creature flying over their heads, to Kruiya's surprise... Kruiya immediately asked Elies.
"Hey Elies, what kind of flying creature is that?"
Curiously, Kruiya asked Elies.
"Th-mister, that's what I called a Dragon back then"
Elies replied with a petrified body when answering because that is why the mountainous area is very dangerous for humans and other races.
So I see.the flying creature was a Dragon, meaning what Elies said at the time was true. That Dragons are huge creatures and look terrible when they see them. I want to see it close.
When Kruiya asked Elies about the Dragon, Serra started talking seriously with the others.
"We better be careful and not meet the Dragon"
Serra advised Kruiya and Elies. At this moment Serra was worried and decided to be careful and remain vigilant.
Then they continued their journey through the steep and dangerous mountain roads. While seeing the natural beauty of the mountain the three of them spend the night in the cave they find in the afternoon, and they spend the night in the cave. At night the three of them decided to keep going around if any monsters would attack them while sleeping. It starts with Serra guarding first, Kruiya the second and Elies the last.
The next morning they continued before sunrise.
Kruiya is on a dangerous journey with Elies and Serra. The rest of Kruiya's friends were comfortably asleep in their rooms before sunrise.
What are you doing now? Well. I already know the answer, you guys must be sleeping comfortably. Is life in the palace pleasant and comfortable? Yeah, right Rei...? Too bad I had to leave you because of my own decision.
At first glance Kruiya imagines the life of his classmates in the palace, what Kruiya thinks is not envy or anything, but the difference in fate that passes.
Want until when this trip takes place, I can't wait to see 《The Witch》it...
Elies and Serra started to get cold while walking in the mountains, their bodies shivering due to the cold weather in the morning, Kruiya could only see them cold because there was nothing Kruiya could do to warm them up. All the cloths or blankets had been worn by Elies and Serra, while Kruiya only wore ordinary clothes with a little extra cloth to warm his neck.
Kruiya is used to the cold weather even colder, as a result Kruiya is not easily cold when in cold weather with thin clothes.
After several hours, the sun began to rise, the sunlight shining from behind the mountain. All is seen more clearly the forest and the ravine around the mountain. The weather was a little warm due to the sunlight, Kruiya also took off the cloth that covered his neck and put it in his bag.
As they walked in the mountainous terrain, there were no signs of life that they saw like animals and others. All they saw were rocks and snow.
Although I have seen this map several times before going to bed, but I guess I still can not understand the language of this map. If I tell Elies and Serra it's the same, they can't read it either. I can only see the picture and its territory, the writing of this world is difficult to understand.Is there a book that allows me to read the language of this world? I'd better look for it in the city I'll visit later if there is one.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"There's nothing, just looking at my bag"
Elies and Serra are still confused by what Kruiya is doing.
"Oh yes Serra, does the Dragon we saw yesterday live here?"
Kruiya asked Serra suddenly at the thought of that.
"Perhaps yes, because Dragons rarely leave their territory except to hunt"
Serra replied to Kruiya while thinking about the meaning of Kruiya's question. Then the three of them continued on their way, before long Serra started talking something.
"By the way of the Dragon, there's a story about a Dragon freezing all the knights who came to him"
"A story?"
Kruiya asked about a story Serra had told. It was Kruiya's curiosity that made Kruiya ask.
"Well, a story, it's a long time ago. I heard it also from my mother when my mother was young, I didn't know the truth of the story"
"Tell me, instead of just walking with your mouth closed, would you like to hear it Elies?"
"If you want, I want to"
"Alright then I'll tell you the story"
There is a story about a place that is told there is a priceless treasure, the place makes everyone interested and vying to take the treasure... with high-rise equipment, with confidence they headed to that place full of obstacles and traps. Arriving at the intended place, they did not expect that the place was guarded by a Dragon. It did not take long.they directly attacked the Dragon with their respective weapons, with the difficulty they faced the Dragon Who was very strong. Then the Dragon opened its mouth and spouted its Breath towards them. Those who were hit by the Dragon's outburst froze on the spot, with their intact bodies frozen to death. One by one those who tried to take the treasure in the place guarded by the Dragon were all frozen to death. After hearing the rumors about the Adventurers who disappeared after they tried to go to the place where there was a high-level treasure, all the people who came to the place did not return. There is a rumor saying "they failed in their mission and died from dangerous monsters on the way", as well as another rumor saying "they were attacked by dangerous bandits" and... there is one other rumor saying "they were killed by the guards of the place" this one rumor attracted the attention of the kingdom, because every high/high level adventure never returned when carrying out the mission. As a result the mission was closed, but the kingdom sent a knight commander along with other great knights and some soldiers to keep watch. As night fell, the knights sent by the royal party began to rest on the fine they had set up just before the end of the night. There was one of the Knights saying "That place must have been so dangerous to the point that top/high level adventurers never returned" hearing the knight's remark, one of the other knights underestimated the statement and he said "it might just be an exaggerated rumor, we don't know what's going on there either, right?" After arguing with them the other knights began to keep watch the night alternately and slept alternately. The next morning they went to that place, when they came to that place, and they saw an entrance to that place, and they entered it with care and vigilance, while walking for a few minutes with lantern lighting, they saw a very large door the size of a gate of the fort wall that blocked their path. In that instant the high-level knights began to discuss to think of what plan would happen behind that door and what was behind that door? After a few minutes of thinking about a plan, they opened the door together with all their might and pushed the door open. When they saw what was behind the door, they saw something that answered the previous question "why do the people who came to the place never come back?" And the answer to that question was right before their eyes. An ice sculpture inside was a person, in other words they were frozen to death into an ice sculpture. One of the knights said "what the hell is this, something this terrible is in this place?" As they wanted to enter deeper into the place, they saw a monstrous figure guarding a treasure. That figure was a blue scaly dragon shrouded in Ice, well... The dragon is an Ice Dragon or called 《Dragon Ice》. The dragon was asleep, taking this opportunity the knights directly attacked him simultaneously using bows with fire arrows. They shot the arrow straight at the sleeping Dragon. But all the attacks did not succeed in injuring the dragon, as a result the dragon woke up from his sleep.See there was an intruder in front of him, the dragon directly attacked the knights and soldiers. Long story short those who fought the dragon had difficulty facing it and most of them had already frozen, now only 4 top/high level knights who still survived. With a body full of wounds, the 4 knights with the last blood point and unyielding continued to attack the dragon.
"hey buddy, maybe today is our last day"
One of the knights said during the final assault.
"Well, today I remember my mother's cooking" too"
One of the knights replied to the knight's question with a face that resignedly faced the reality in front of them.
"Hey captain... Are there any last words the captain said?"
"The last words well.I want to see my wife who is pregnant with my child"
Replied the knight captain who led the other knights, now he was thinking about his wife who was waiting at home and was pregnant with her first child.
"The captain will soon be a father, but we must not lose here because there is someone waiting for the captain at home"
Reply to one of the Knights to entertain the atmosphere and encourage the other.
"Hey you, the new knight.it is better that you leave here!"
Said the Knight Captain commanding one of the new Knights who was still holding on with a smiling face.
"What does it mean to leave here, captain?"
"I mean you go out of this place and report the real events of this place, and if you get met by my wife just tell me that I'm coming back from this place"
With a high sense of leadership, the knight captain held his weapon before the dragon to repel the dragon's attack.
"But, captain, I can't leave you guys to drive the dragon out"
Reply to the new knight with a sad feeling flooded with constant crying.
"Quick get out of here! We will definitely come back alive, also give this to my wife, this is an order! "
After hearing the order from the knight captain, the new knight immediately ran towards the exit, but the other 3 knights including the captain were hammering the dragon by distracting him.
The knight came out of the entrance and immediately rode on his horse, while the sound of the dragon shouted very loudly. Then the new knight left his comrades and captains who sacrificed themselves for the new knight. With a tear drop that could not bear to feel the sacrifice of his comrades and captain, the knight quickly rode a horse. The knight relentlessly continued riding his horse without rest, arriving in front of the royal gate. After waking up from his stupor, the knight was asked about "where are the other knights?" And what the new knight answered made all the rooms there look frightened and worried. Finally, those who were wondering about the disappearance of adventurers who came to the place were finally answered. 1 week after the news of the killing of the royal forces spread, everyone began to discuss the story. On the other hand there was a wife who lost her husband as a result of the mission, the wife was the wife of the knight captain who led the army that the new knight was following. The new knight came to his wife's captain's place and visited her, as he wanted to knock on her door... the door opened and what the new knight saw was a woman holding a baby who had never seen her father.
The new knight sadly gave a letter that the captain had given him to give to the wife of the knight captain. After giving the letter, the new knight immediately left.he looked back as the captain's wife opened her husband's letter. The new knight turned his face forward unable to bear to see her, and then he heard the sound of a wife crying after receiving her husband's letter. After that, the new knight was inducted into the knight commander after his achievement of completing the mission from the kingdom and replacing the Knight who had died. In the end the new knight became the knight commander happily, although his comrades were killed he remained happy because the Soul of his comrades still remained beside him.
"Came.that's the story"
Serra finished telling a story about a Dragon guarding his territory, to Elies and Kruiya.
"Well, moving news..."
Said Elies after knowing the end of the story with sadness to hear it.
"Good story Serra"
Praise Kruiya to Serra for the story does not bore Kruiya of this trip.
After hearing the story Serra told, The three of them continued their journey together towards meeting《Magic》which is now their destination.
