MERCIA
54. The Secret of the Edianna Flower.

"Who are you really?" ask Nasyra.

August did not answer he walked, towards a pond, he dipped his hand for a moment and then pulled his hand over the raised pool water and fell spread out in all directions, all exposed to the drops of the pool water, he said, their wounds healed the king of Thurinor was astonished that now his hands were recovering as usual.So the hooded woman he was increasingly curious about August.

August walked back to Nasyra. "I need your help, are you ready?"

Nasyra was a little surprised to hear August's request, he saw his father Thurinor who was now standing unseen never hurt. Thurinor nodded as if giving permission to fulfill August's request.

"what do you want me to do?" ask Nasyra.

"Find Aira, tell her I'm a friend of hers, telling her that King Valor needs Armeda's help" August said.

"What's your name? he'll ask." said Nasyra.

"Tell me someone who promised to see him again" August said.

"Is there any more?" ask Nasyra.

"Nothing.., unless you know a location where I can get edianna flowers" August said.

"The flower is extinct, along with the destruction of the Moonheaven" Thurinor said softly in a now respectful voice.

"Well I'll go, tell your father not to ask for damages, I don't have any money."

"wait..where are you going?" ask Nasyra.

"Killing the lake creature, this time in exchange for me chasing him." after saying August darted away.so did the mysterious woman.

"King Thurinor what should we do now?" ask Raegel.

Nasyra glanced at her father, and Thurinor glanced at her daughter.

"Is that what you said Nasyra? is Clawrit behind everything?" ask Thurinor.

"True father, so did Armeda's split, because that's why the demon's power was getting stronger" Nasyra replied.

"Raegel restore our relationship with moon elves, leave immediately!"

"and others clean up the destroyed debris and rebuild."

"and you.." Thurinor appoints Nasyra.

"near him whoever he is. I don't mind you hanging out with him, I don't want my palace destroyed by him anymore."

"what do you mean dad? I'm gone." said Nasyra.

Meanwhile, August had arrived at the edge of Lake Dorrior, he glanced at the lake and closed his eyes he felt a strong enough energy. suddenly the two-headed giant snake reappears before August, but the snake is silent.

"I know now, your existence here is limited to keeping something in this lake" August spoke through his subconscious.

"True" the snake replied.

"What are you guarding?" ask August.

"weapons capable of killing demonic powers."

"Who is the owner?" ask August.

"One of your guards, you'll find out later" said the snake and disappeared.

August opened his eyes.' One of my guards? Aira or Aruna?' think August.

"Come out you don't have to hide anymore, I know you followed me from that palace" August said.

A woman leaped from the trees, she was taper, long-haired, waist-length blonde, her face very beautiful, her skin smooth white, behind his blue robe he only wore a chest protector that did not cover his stomach made of cloth combined with a kind of metal and connected with a mini skirt as his subordinate, his legs contained a protector to his knees, similarly, both hands have a shield limited to the shoulder on his forehead there is a tiara with a red stone.he holds a bow without a rope in his left hand. August gulped when the woman's robe was exposed to the wind.

"Why are you following me?" ask August.

"i want to make a deal with you" said the woman.

"what deal?" ask August.

"Finding Moonheaven's location" said the woman.

"everyone said the place was gone" August said.

"The place is still there, the Moonheaven is a symbol of the dark elf civilization" the woman said.

"Why are you sure that place still exists?" ask August.

"Our race controlled all the power that other races had except moon elves, after that attack they sealed themselves off from humans and others, only our dark elves could find Moonheaven." said the woman.

"So you're a dark elf? then why do you still need my help?" ask August.

"I want you to be my protector and guide, I've never gone into your world, no matter how strong we elves will not be able to survive alone in your world" she said.

"How are you so sure I'm willing to accept your offer?" ask August.

"I heard you were looking for edianna flowers" said the woman.

"what's your name?" ask August.

"Sylvan."

"Sylvanic.. I might be able to protect you, but I can't show you the way, even now I don't know how I can get back to Proxima" August said.

"i'll drop you off." a woman's voice was heard behind the two of them.

"Nashira.. Why are you here?" ask August.

"I just found out Proxima's man is forgetful, didn't you ask me to see Aira?" Nasyra.

"What..?" Nasyra and Sylvana together.

"Where are you from?" ask Nasyra.

August just smiled.

"Am I not worthy to know you?" nasyra asked a little disappointed.

"It's not like that, you'll find out from Aira, because when we meet again I want you to tell me how he's expressioning" August said with an evil smile.

"You want to surprise her, I understand." Nasyra smiled too.

"now show me how we all go to Proxima" August said.

Nasyra pointed your palm towards the lake, suddenly time stopped, silent, no wind, the water ripples stopped, the lake water looks solid in the middle of the lake appears a hallway.

"Follow me" said Nasyra.

August and Sylvana walk on the surface of the water following Nasyra into a hallway, just a step they entered, now they are under a large tree towering. only August was confused by the events he had just experienced.

"Nashira then I intended to find out how high this big tree is, I flew until my body was interested in entering the cloud, but after coming out I saw as if there was a world above, but, my power was lost and fell into that lake."

"that's another way into our world, the protectors we've created aren't perfect enough, there's still plenty of loopholes to get through, and Clawrit's growing power makes our world's protectors weak." Nasyra.

"When I fell into the lake there was the sound of a woman telling me to get out" said August.

"that's me" said Sylvana.

August and Nasyra glanced at Sylvana.

"after this I want to talk to you four eyes" Nasyra told Sylvana.

"Well." replied Sylvana.

"Where are you going?" ask Nasyra.

Sylvana glanced at August.

"show directions to the other Armeda clans." pinta August.

"we are heading for the valley of desolation, the two clans are separated by the valley, follow the stream you will find" Nasyra said.

They also moved even though they were just walking leisurely, one footstep they were tens of meters away. Nasyra split up when they arrived at the intersection while August and Sylvana continued together until they finally found the river.

His encounter with Sylvana has given new hope to be able to find edianna flowers.

'Maybe this flower can also heal Amara's eyes, hmm. I should ask this beautiful elf.' August thought.

"Sylvana wait.There's something I want to ask you" August said.

Sylvana stopped her steps.

"what do you want to ask?"

"About edianna, can it cure a blind eye?" ask August.

"All diseases and poisons can be cured with the flower, they should be" Sylvana replied.

"Sylvana if we can find Moonheaven will you give me two flowers?" pinta August's.

"You can take whatever you want, before you tell me who you really are, and where you come from?" ask Sylvana.

"my name is Mercia, I am of the earth" said August.

"Well.. Earth? isn't that the world.."

"Yes a world with its weak and despicable inhabitants." August cut Sylvana's word.

"Hey.I will not demean you, in any world there will always be weak and despicable, which I want to say is not your world always tells about our existence, which is what we are, remembering us even if it's just a bedtime story."

"I'm sorry" said August.

"no need to apologize" Sylvana smiled which made her beauty multiply as August looked at her.

"is there anything else you want to ask?"

"yes about you." said August.

"What do you want to know?"

"Why did your body suddenly become so fragrant?"

Sylvana blushed her face reddened.

"my sweat."

"does all the elves give off a fragrant scent like you?" ask August.

"i don't know, the scent you smell is the scent of edianna flowers, when I was a baby every day my mother always bathed me with water mixed with hundreds of edianna flowers, she said, the energy and the scent of the flower permeated and became the inside of my body, I never suffered from disease, my body was immune to poison, the wounds I got from the fight were easily healed" said Sylvana.

"So that's the secret of the edianna flower."

"Where's your mother." asked August.

Sylvana's speechless.

"no need to answer, I'm sorry, we'd better go ahead."

Sylvana nodded, the two of them finally continued on their way.
