Love In The Last Holy Mountain
Pursuit 3: The Phon Tree and Apollodorus's Despair

Still in the beautiful belly of the tree, just after Lobelia and Ellgar had prayed, they suddenly felt his body feel light and instantly drift for a moment. Around their bodies appeared the light of small fireflies and, "buuuftttt...!!!" they both transformed into tiny winged creatures. They were still confused as to what was really going on with his 'big body'. Then, a big voice echoed throughout the room of the tree's belly saying, "Do'a.do'a which you promised me. You can live in peace, with this new form, without the pursuit of the ruler. Live well in the new life that you will live in the future. Be fair to others, and do good." said the God who advised the two little fairies.

"Well, thank you for your help, Lord.." said the two.

The two of them looked at each other for a moment then nodded, a sign ready for the next adventure.

"Let's enjoy this journey by following the light ahead" Ellgar said.

"Good...

The god protected access to the way to the fairy forest by covering the tree with a protective cover so that it could not be reached by Apollodorus. The god then sent down a torrential rain in the region that could have hampered his net search for Apollodorus.

"S**l why it suddenly rains. My territory has never been covered by water before." Shouted Apollodosrus, looking up and upset.

Ecidna, then took her somewhere else to shelter.

"You wait here." Apollodorus on Ecidna.

Apollodorus, preparing to search for the two of them through his audience. He was able to reach the entire territory of Thebes because of the mark he had made before.

He tried with all his might for hours but did not meet with the form of both. Eyes that remain closed, eyebrows 'cry', and sweat that flows alternately from the right then the left side of the face to his body. The veins that are seen along the face of a handsome if seen by ordinary people, so tempting with the swift sweat. Ecidna, who is a female dragon snake monster, is actually a woman. He looked at his handsome and seductive old man, finally captivated by him. The two gazing eyes filled with awe, became the seeds of love that grew over time.

"Less a**r..!!! where did the woman s***n go," cried Apollodorus who awoke from his vision.

Ecidnya who heard it was also surprised and suddenly approached her parents. He circled around Apollodorus. If he is in human form it indicates he is beside Apollodorus with a crouching position.

"Sir.." said Ecidna.

"Who is there." cried Apollodorus, asking.

"It's me sir, Ecidna."

"Huh...!! you... Can you talk?" tanyanya surprised.

''Yes sir.I listened to all your complaints all this time. If you may know, why are you so obsessed with that woman, sir?" ask the dragon.

"It's none of your business."

"Sorry sir, I only intend to help you," said Ecidna who is actually only to find out about the woman of her identity.

"She's the prettiest woman I've ever seen. Moreover, he is my sworn enemy."

"So sir, do you want her because she's beautiful, or do you want her because she's your enemy...?" ask Ecidna, corner.

"Why are you asking me such a difficult question" he snapped.

"I have no fuss over my master. If the master of the great ruler can know the answer, then the master will also be able to look for it, or prey on a new one. Isn't the master planning on destroying their residence...?"

"What did you say is true? but here I still want to hold my woman."

"Sir...!!!"

"You dare yell at your master?"

"Ti.no sir. I don't dare you my great master" Ecidna trembled.

"You're this, what exactly?" tanyakanya.

"I'm a snake dragon lord..."

"Then why are you talking?"

"I am an ordinary monster that gains human power from its previous owner. So, I can have the power to change" he replied.

"Oh yes, do it now" cried Apollodorus, commanding him.

"Changing in form right in front of this master of yours" said Apollodorus.

"Good."

Ecidna, then transformed herself into a beautiful woman wrapped in a maron-red dress. Her hair was elongated black, white skin, and eyes were beautified with redness around her petals, her lips with a reddish pink color that was so tempting as she spoke, My lord...!" he said he welcomed the master who was in front of him.

"Yes.yes. You're in this form when you're dealing with me." Apollodorus replied 'sweet smile' by Ecidna then, "but..!!!" the rebound snapped that suddenly made Ecidna shocked to fear. "You must not interfere in my affairs with that woman" he warned Ecidna.

"Good, sir." Answer from Ecidna, respect.

"Come, let's find them again until we meet. No matter the rain. Follow your master's request."

"Ba.good sir."

They make their next trip to search.

In the place of Lobelia and Ellgar, the two continued to walk towards the front relying on their respective feelings following the light that came later, ushering the two at a door to a world they had never met. The two eyeballs looked at the full 'blown light' around his pupils, seeing a very satisfying sight to enjoy.

"What is this.. What is it?" ask the two followed by looking at each other.

"Yes, Lobelia. It's more beautiful than the sacred mountain of melian" replied Ellgar.

The sacred mountain melian :

"Duugh...aaah..!!" the sound of Ellgar's head clashing at the entrance to the place.

"Wait a minute. I. it's a protective wall." Lobelia.

"Protective wall...?" ask Ellgar.

"Yes.it's like mine. But this is stronger. It was only fitting that the big tree was not destroyed when it was hit by a blood storm shock."

"Yes, Lobelia. You're right, when we prayed, I felt it too" he replied.

"Emm.." nodding Lobelia and saying, "it turns out that this tree emits a powerful protective force from within.." looked at Ellgar.

"Where did this great power come from?" ask Ellgar.

"I don't know either. Let's find his year. I will try with my spiritual strength."

"Good..."

Lobelia prepared to gather her strength and, "impossible...!! this is impossible. My strength disappeared," he said in shock to see his self who had no power back.

"Why can it ?" ask Ellgar.

"What is possible, because of this new body. Yes, it may be true God helped us escape Apollodorus' pursuit, but he also took away my power. That's why he delivered the message."

"That could be. But at least we've survived."

"Yes.you're right," answered Lobelia.

Lobelia and Ellgar had been silent for 2 days in front of the entrance. They eat small fruits that grow around them. That was enough to fill both stomachs.

Apollodorus, who had been in vain looking for him for days, finally punished Ecidna who was said to be incompetent in searching for Lobelia. Ecidna hated Lobelia even more, because she was blamed.

The melian sacred mountain was still in a state of calm and began to conduct training every day. The lower mansion was now starting to be given debriefing in martial arts, considering that Baron's uncle and his followers used to be able to do it well, which was then helped by some elders from the upper mansion. For the events that have happened before, they are now working together to unite together to guard the sacred mountain melian.
