Lea, The Story of the Magus of the Casiopea Continent
The Innocent Girl

   I took a quick step to dodge the gaze of the man I thought was the same person I saw back then in Scorpio City. I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after at last the sharp-eyed man disappeared from my sight.

   But a new problem has now emerged. Now I am in a different place than where I stood before that is far stranger. If where our train stopped was a neat and clean road, now I seem to be on the other side of Virgo City which is opposite from where it was before. This place although looks modern compared to Scorpio City, but feels a little more seedy.

   The pedestrians were not like the men or women I had seen before. Here even though they are heard speaking in a dialect that I think is cool and modern, I will still feel from the words of the people, said the people, they seemed a bit rougher than the interesting people in the place I was standing earlier.

"All because of that green eye !" I cursed in my heart at the appearance of that handsome green-eyed man earlier, which caused me to be even more lost in the depths of this Dorado capital.

   But I don't care about this atmosphere. What I'm concerned about right now is how to arrive at the Dorado Military Academy. The only place I know is the Dorado Military Academy, even though I actually know nothing about that academy.

All I know is that in that academy I have to find Mr. Shaakir El-Bacchus. It was to Mr. Shaakir that I would obtain a one-way ticket to change my fate from an orphan girl, to someone who meant nothing to me by becoming a state servant.

The sky was not yet dark, where the bright light still looked like daylight, although it had been half-time seven at night. Everything in this place is so different to the conditions in our Scorpio City. If in my hometown it's with the same clock, it can be sure everything has darkened as dark as ink.

   I then ventured to ask a servant girl who worked in a drink called Tavern. I think the girl's face looks innocent and can be invited to cooperate.

I saw the girl standing in a sad face, and always saying hello and seemed to be trying to hook the Tavern customer where she worked. He hopes that with his innocent face, there will be potential customers who are interested in the offer, then they will stop by and drink in it, spending time in this beautiful afternoon.

"Greetings miss, er I am a newcomer to this city. I happen to be.." How surprised I am. The girl who I thought was innocent in face loudly shouted at me and chased me away.

But what I expected was an inverse one hundred and eighty degrees compared to what the reality was.

"Go there you're a begging woman !" squeak the innocent girl. Of course I was shocked.

"Did he abuse me? What fault?" my question is in my heart.

"Are you blind and don't know that I'm also complaining about my fate by slamming my bones? Look at your heartbreaking existence, to the point that all my customers are reluctant to stop by" the girl spat on the ground. His mute face turned into a fierce demon face. He blames me for his misfortune.

"Ok, I'm a village woman. Are you satisfied with you choking me?" my mind with mixed feelings.

   You form a criminal gang that always pretends to look like a persecuted human being, then when we are careless and pitying your poverty, that's when you're going to mow down all our belongings, until we fall broke and forced to follow beggars like you !"

   I was increasingly surprised by the rudeness and disrespectful attitude of that innocent-faced girl. In our Scorpio City, even though we are poor and full of people like sailors from different countries, we still have a friendly attitude. Not like this innocent-faced girl.

   I was just about to reply to the words of the service girl with my self-described explanation - the lady from the port city of Scorpio, when I heard the sound of animal growls. 

"Oh my God !" my mind in my heart. I pray that the sound of the growl is not the sound of a dog.

   I slowly turned my body. 

"Dead me !" I cried in my heart when I saw what was behind me.

   The innocent girl released a tall, black dog with long legs. His mouth was gaping in a growling sound, where pointy teeth appeared to decorate his jet-black face.

"Gigit him !" tell the girl I thought was innocent to her dog.

   I ran without waiting for the second time. Meanwhile behind me, a barking dog voice sounded. 

   I ran blindly, I don't know where I went, that I don't know. All I had in mind was to survive that fierce dog.

Brak !

   I fell when around the corner the shops were gloomy, a man appeared. Slim tall man, handsome face with sharp eyes emerald green.

Seriate.
