Kwaaak....
The sound of crows accompanying their long night in the darkness of the night they were trailing, then came danger as if preparing to pounce on the two of them among the siege of wild beasts.
" Don't be afraid Lobelia, stay behind me." Ellgar said, protecting him.
"Yes, I have also prepared if the conditions do not support the next" he replied.
Which was later countered in a nod of approving marks by Ellgar.
"Shaa... "
The wind blows strong. That night became a hunting night that ended with eating the grilled meat of the wild animals.
"You're great, Lobelia." Excited, amazed.
"That's nothing compared to my years of training, and today I'm free."
Ellgar, answered with a smile. It flashed through his mind thinking about the mess they were doing. There came a feeling he could not express to her. Both hearts are equally covered with each other even though they are together. It does not feel bad if conveyed, sick if in pendam.
"To the front, please rely more on me to keep you," he said seriously to Lobelia.
"Yes, but if that's a big enough problem and you can't do it, then let me protect you."
"Good.." smiled lightly.
That night the two fell asleep soundly in a state of full stomach under a large tree with leaves neatly arranged.
"Ciuuut... "
Slowly his eyes opened slowly facing the sky. Light from nature entered his eyes.
''Uh..! glare. It was morning, "he said.
"Wake up, wake up Ellgar, "he woke Ellgar from his slumber. "Hey.ayo it's morning, we have to hurry." He woke up again.
"All right..all right..."
Halfway through, Ellgar fell to the ground, "sruk. brugh!"
"You...!!! you why?" lobelia asked, panicking, who then checked her temperature.
"God! you had a fever last night."
Lobelia, hurried to make her body sit up, and tried to heal it with her strength.
"You rest, I'll look for plants to treat you to get well soon."
"Thank you.." she kissed Lobelia's hand.
A few minutes after leaving Ellgar, Lobelia came to her senses about the message from Agaphi, so as not to walk to the southwest so, making her rush back.
When he arrived, as expected Ellgar lying on the ground in a state full of wounds on his body was also bruised.
"You why?" tanyanya sad.
"Quick get out of here! this place is not safe, "the reply reveals a sense of wasp and worry.
"Come, I'll carry you."
Lobelia, carry Ellgar far enough away until he's exhausted. While resting for a moment, he began to concoct the collected plants.
"Drink slowly. "
After Ellgar drank it, Lobelia rushed to carry him back until they found a small hut in the forest.
"Excuse me. Can we take a break?" asked Lobelia, who unfortunately had no answer from inside. Finally he opened the door directly, and it turned out that it was empty uninhabited.
"We're going to rest here tonight, while healing your wounds."
"Yes .." replied Ellgar.
Sitting.and saying, "say, what really happened while you were I was staying."
"When you left, there came a crowd of people. They carry a lot of weaponry, and use horse mounts."
"You know who?"
"No, but they looked like soldiers, and as they approached me, they began to wake me up pretending to be asleep."
"Then...?"
"I deliberately didn't open my eyes because I knew I wouldn't be able to fight them. Until someone finally kicked me to wake up."
"What's going on? "
''The interesting thing is, they asked if this road was right in the direction of the melian mountain."
"What's? then what do you answer?"
"I shut up, and said I didn't know. Because they didn't believe me as well, said I was useless, then beat me up. At that time, I felt like my body was going to die. However, suddenly came someone from the top of the tree about 4 people using all black, then helped me up, making them turn around."
"In a forest like this? is there really a spiritual controller? then why do they want to go to the melian mountain?"
"I don't understand either."
"To... why?"
"It seems they realized it. We can't leave a trace."
"mem... notice?"
Watch around, cast a spell. "Closed down.... "
"The place around us has been covered by magical energy from me, they can't find us now, and you can rest until you recover." Lobelia.
"Who are they?"
"Upper money."
Quiet for a moment, at the same time.
"Daughter, should we. My bad feeling has left melian." Ellgar said, persuading him.
"No....!"
"Lobelia...! think back to everything we've done."
"You want to break a promise?"
"But. "his words were held back not wanting to offend him.
"All right, let's continue the journey." Ellgar.
The debate ended immediately, if one of them did not give up just maybe, there would be something unwanted.
Ellgar, turn around and head for the bed to rest.
"Clinting.uk, tuk, tuk, tuk, dug."
An object accidentally fell from Ellgar's body.
"What's that?" ask Lobelia.
"Ah, this." showed her. "this is the thing my parents left behind. Uncle Baron said, I must keep it. Who knows how useful it will be someday."
Lobelia, not focused on that thing. On a closer look it was, a dragon pendant from the Hong imperial era. That is why in the past, Ellgar's father was able to get to know clearly about the sleeping dragon Ecidna, and the story of the white wolf warriors from the east when confronted with the ox pirates.
Ellgar's father, married a woman from the Hong empire. He used to be a rich merchant who then went bankrupt due to the actions of his own brother until, making them leave the city, and move to a remote place in the border area of the kingdom of Thebes. Ellgar's mother was a learned woman who at that time befriended her childhood friend, then gave her a dark red dragon-carved pendant.

"How's it?" ask Te Heya.
"The goddess, as per my shadow bodyguard's report said that, they rushed towards the melian mountain."
"It turned out so fast."
"But it doesn't seem to be from our arch-enemy" he said.
"It's okay. Whoever they are, we must respond. The news quickly spread, yesterday's events made the criminals arrive."
"Yes, goddess... "
"What about them."
"Pe.. my bodyguard lost track of both."
"I'm sorry for my carelessness, goddess." changed position to prostrate on the floor.
"Wake up. You don't have to go that way. Let it go, that's his decision. He has taken his own net."
"But... "
"That's it, everything's gonna be fine."
"good. Thanks, goddess... "
He answered with a nod, and a light smile.
"Ellverns... "
''Yes, goddess."
"You don't have to bother, let the main gate greet him. And just make sure the mansion downstairs is well preserved."
"Okay, goddess."
"Alright, you can continue each other's work."
"Swidespread...! eng....mistaknya sorry goddess, what about the elders?" lead Elvern asked.
"If it's time, I'll collect them."
"What about Liona?"
"Just make sure he's always in his place" she replied.
"Good."
"Now, do what you must. Also, keep an eye on the movement from outside the mountain." Te Heya's orders are protecting his entire people.
"Well, Goddess.." answered both at the same time.
