Moonlight After Sunset's
Magis Pet [2 ]

"When life begins to have meaning, even small things are a blessing."

****************#######****************

Dusk felt a significant difference in his health. He began to feel his mana recovering and all the pain he had previously felt all disappeared. Dusk smiled relieved by the results of treatment performed by doctor Jojo.

"Maybe this is the reason why a doctor deserves respect,"

"Lily is it time?"

"Miss can get ready first.I will create an illusion for them, after which we can leave safely," Lily explained.

Dusk took out his sword which looked like a spear as well as a black robe to cover himself. After all the supplies were finished, he and Lily immediately rushed towards the southern area. There they went to a small cave located behind a waterfall.

"Is this really the place?"

"Right Miss, behind the waterfall is a small cave and there is a sacred egg left by the mother."

"Why was the egg left?"

"Actually the mother was dead while looking for food," Lily explained the situation of the holy egg, for some reason the face looked sad.

"When did that happen?"

"A few days ago,"

"Is this the act of..." Dusk hesitated to speak his mind, fearing that this might be the fault of the Marques family.

Without seeing the worry on her master's face, Lily confusedly explained that the death of the mother egg was the result of illegal hunting by the human side.

The egg looked amazing with a bright blue color. When Dusk was about to touch him the first time he felt was cold. The eggshells were ice-cold but strangely Dusk was comfortable with the chill.

A few moments later, I don't know what happened, the eggshells started to crack. Dusk was a little surprised, he was worried if the crack was the result of his reckless act of touching the egg.

"Eh, how's this? Her egg broke," Dusk panicked, he confusedly glanced towards Lily hoping to get help.

"What! broke?" Lily was surprised, she was as confused as her master was.

"It's not time to hatch yet, it's weird."

"Then, what should we do?"

"Miss, just wait here for a while. I'll get help."

Lily swiftly jumped over the waterfall. He quickly left the cave and made Dusk stunned.

****

10 Minutes had passed, and now the egg had been completely destroyed leaving behind a blue bird. The bird still closed its eyes until Dusk involuntarily threw away the rest of the shell on its head.

When he finished doing that movement, the baby bird opened its eyes. What a beautiful sight, his eyes opened wide with eyes that were as blue as the twilight sky.

"Beautiful."

The twilight hypnotized with the beauty of the baby blue bird began to touch his body. He gently stroked the bird's shoulder.

"Very soft." murmured Dusk without him noticing.

Baby birds that have begun to get used to their eyesight, return to focus on seeing Dusk. He smiled broadly as he clenched his wings.

The twilight that was startled by the reaction of the baby blue bird immediately pushed him far away. He was confused as to what to react. Surprisingly the baby bird was not away, he even flapped his wings and perched in the hands of Dusk.

"What is this, what are you doing?" Dusk was confused, he did not know what the baby blue bird wanted to do.

"I'm not your mother, I don't have any food either." Dusk knew if the baby blue bird seemed hungry, but he was confused about what to give food.

Not yet had the confusion disappear, the baby bird innocently bit the wrist of Dusk.

"Ugh...!" scream Dusk in pain. He shook his wrist before seeing a light blue light thrust into his hand.

"What's this?"

Dusk asked puzzledly, because the baby bite marks of blue birds had turned into crystal carvings with strange symbols.

A strange feeling began to arise from the body of Dusk, he felt extreme heat-cold. Without any preparation, Dusk began to droop. He looked at the baby blue bird with a strange expression before his vision blurred and blackened.

****

When Lily entered the cave she could see Dusk lying unconscious with a Phoenix the size of a chick beside her. The Phoenix looked to be playing around with the long hair of Dusk.

If man makes a contract then if he dies the animal will be free but if the animal makes a contract then if man dies then the animal will also die.

"I don't know if this phoenix really likes the lady or if she just thinks of her as a mother."

Lily looked towards the side of her back which contained a crescent moon engraving with silver color, it was proof that it belonged to Dusk. The color on the carving is in accordance with the basic color of the element of the contract maker.

When she was about to lift the body of Dusk, Lily accidentally saw the size of a small Crystal on her master's wrist. The color of the crystal was light blue with a strange pattern encircling it.

"Don't tell me this Phoenix has made a contract?" muttered Lily while looking towards the Phoenix baby who was still reluctant to part with her master.

When preparing to lift his master's body, Lily again - again made surprised. He saw a strange bracelet that had a thorn in its tip.

"I didn't know that this bracelet existed before."

Lily forcefully fiddled with the bracelet and instead of being crushed, the bracelet turned into a scorpion.

"What else is this?" Panicked by the change of the bracelet, Lily tried to let go. But the bracelet was increasingly tied firmly on the wrist of Dusk.

Lily who was no longer able to do so decided to bring Dusk back to the tent. He hoped to get a hint after his master woke up.

****

After Lily gets to the tent, Dian happens to come to the tent to see Dusk. Dian then put a bowl of warm water beside the bed and left.

When Dian returned to the tent, Dusk was still sound asleep. Dian also woke up Dusk but did not get a response. Dian was a little worried but he kept trying to wake her up.

Long Dian wiggled the body of Dusk and finally he opened his eyes. How shocked Dusk was when he saw Dian already standing right in front of him. Dusk also looked around while doing a link with Lily.

"How did I get here?" tanya Dusk still with her confused face look.

"Miss, you fainted. I with high initiative brought you back. Thank you to me."

Lily looked arrogant, she complacently showed a facial expression that said I was your life-saver.

"It's so naive." grumbled Dusk annoyed.

Dian who saw Dusk confused then held his forehead to ensure the health of the lady.

"Miss, you seem to have a fever." Dian removed his palm from the forehead of Dusk.

"Miss should rest first," continued Dian while thrusting a basin filled with warm water. Dusk just smiled innocently looking at Dian.

"I'm fine, no need to worry," replied Dusk while washing his face.

"Go, I need a warm, sweet-scented tea like vanilla,"

"Well Miss," Dian went out of the tent. When Dusk had confirmed that the place was quiet he then glanced at Lily.

"Tell me!" grunt Dusk while glancing at his wrist.

Dusk was a little shocked while washing his face. He saw something on his wrist and was about to scream but fortunately Lily swiftly told him briefly if it was a sacred animal that had contracted with Dusk.

"Miss, that bracelet is a southern fire scorpion. Usually they are on a plateau like a mountain but somehow he is in the cave where the Phoenix egg is located," Lily explained as she glanced at the scorpion on the wrist of Dusk.

"Why is it so rare?" tanya Dusk curious.

"His healing ability is very great, so he is often hunted and taken the point. Even so his fighting strength was so weak that a stronger enemy could defeat him,"

"What about this Phoenix?"

"For each case the saint beasts are different Miss, but especially for the Phoenix they have immense strength and great combat endurance."

"What about this bracelet and yourself?"

"Southern fire scorpion, he has the same great power as the Phoenix but only in the field of protection while I am only in manipulation and illusion. All the powers of the saint beasts were diverse but due to their considerable strength then some of them became legendary creatures," explained Lily at length, Dusk only nodded in a sign of understanding.

"It's both your turn now."

Dusk stared at the small Phoenix as well as the fire scorpion.

"Who are your names?" continued Dusk with a firm and dominant voice.

"I'm Ristia," answered the fire scorpion as it spun around - swivel in the wrist of Dusk.

"Then you?" The bird looked at the little Phoenix. Yet the little Phoenix just stared at Dusk with eyes full of hope that weighed down on Dusk. Lily who saw the actions of her master could only shake her head.

"Miss, she was just born, it's impossible to have a name. It should be Miss who gave her a name," Lily said with her upset face.

"yes too. What name do you think suits him?" tanya Dusk who got an irritated look from Lily.

"As for Miss, I'm just a subordinate." Lily exclaimed as she turned her body around.

Dusk thought for a moment until finally Dian came to bring the vanilla-flavored tea.

"Miss, please." Dusk then saw the tea and drank it, the feeling of Dusk began to improve and suddenly he shouted.

"Vanilla! Yup Vanila," shouted Dusk which made Dian surprised by the strange behavior of the lady. Lily who heard Dusk yell increasingly looked annoyed and dropped her face to the floor

"My fate has a miss like her." Dusk could only smile at Lily's behavior dropping her face onto the floor.

"Yes Miss, that's vanilla tea." Now Dian who spoke up when he saw the mysterious smile of his missus.

"I know that, thank you."

"I'll name you vanilla."

Dusk signals a link to the little Phoenix bird that responds with the phoenix's innocent laughter.

"What's up?" luna asked after hearing the screams from inside the tent.

"What's wrong with vanilla?" luna continued curious.

"Oh that, I'm just too fond of vanilla," replied Dusk hesitatingly.

"If you like that I still have a lot at home" exclaimed Muna who had just arrived.

"That's not necessary, I'll buy it myself later,"

"What if we go around for a while before breakfast?" continued Dusk while glancing out a glance.

"You two go, I have business with sister Mina" Muna said as she walked away.

"Follow Muna and report to me what they're talking about." The twilight command on Lily then disconnects the link between them.

"I'll get ready for a while then we can get out" said Dusk as he asked Dian to prepare his dress.

"Well, I'll be waiting for you outside,"

After Luna's figure disappeared, Dusk calmly asked about the current camp situation and discussed some other important matters.

"Dian, where's Eza?" tanya Dusk while Dian was putting a hair ribbon on her head.

"Eza is examining Miss's horse" Dian replied and took out a blue pearl to match with the ribbon.

"Tell Eza to continue to be around Marques. if the hunt ends soon then the opportunity to learn for him will be lost," cried Dusk while wearing a jade bracelet in his hand.

Before Dusk came out, he also told Dian to have Eza contract with the sacred animals before they returned to academia. this was necessary because it was not easy for them to be able to explore this forest anymore if it did not have sufficient level of strength.

"Luna." Dusk hugged Luna from behind while putting on her sweet smile.

"You're so pretty." Praise Luna while holding the twilight hair.

"You are also beautiful, come on," exclaimed Dusk as she pulled Luna's hand towards the forest area.

"Senja do you know if this forest is inhabited by many rare sacred animals?" asked Luna while glancing around them.

"really?" Dusk innocently asked back. Luna just smiled and held the hand of Dusk.

"This forest is filled with many monsters, it happens because this forest has many resources. This forest is also protected by the Marques Winter family, because this forest used to take a lot of casualties and only the Winter family can purify it." explained Luna at length with a satisfied smile.

"Luna, how's the royal relationship with Duke Ari?" tanya Dusk curious.

"Duke Ari has a royal bloodline so that every major princess in the residence will be betrothed to the king's son. They will be given other noble titles such as count or Vincount if they cannot ascend to the throne as the next king," Luna said carefully, her face then looked flushed.

"When the King finds out the fifth prince broke off his engagement to you. He was very angry but because Duke Ari also did not respond to this so the King could only make Arina marry the fifth prince as a concubine," continued Luna while holding tightly the hand of Dusk.

"No problem, it's all over." Dusk's innocent smile made Luna slightly injured.

"Actually I'm very grateful if he wants to cancel the engagement, so I don't have to bother to break it later,"

Dusk smiled cynically recalling the handwriting of the old book in the secret room.

"Miss Luna and Miss Dusk, it's time for breakfast," one waiter exclaimed, saluting. Dusk and Luna immediately went to the dining table.

"Where's Muna?" ask Dusk to the waiter who carries a tray of tea.

"Miss Muna is having some business with Miss Mina right now," the maid replied and went to the side of the dinner table.

"Maybe they're discussing something important, we'll eat first" luna exclaimed as she ate the grilled fish in front of her.

The curious twilight, did a link with Lily who was watching Muna from the beginning.

"Is there anything special?" tanya Dusk while taking bread that has been smeared with chocolate jam by Dian.

"Miss It seems like they had a chance to feel the energy of the saint beasts around the forest,"

"If so keep an eye on them."

The command of Dusk while eating the brown bread. Moments later Muna and her family came to the table. Muna looks a little riled up but still retains her leg face.

****

After eating, Dusk and his two best friends went around. They went to Lily's flower garden accompanied by 5th and 6th order guards.

"Isn't this too beautiful?" Luna looked happy, only this time she saw a collection of wild Lily flowers that were so beautiful.

"You guard this place as long as me and my two best friends play," Muna ordered her guards to guard the surrounding area. Even though this was not too far from the tent, it was still in the middle of the black forest forest.

"Muna take a look at this," cried Luna as she pulled the Lily flower from her place.

"What's that?" ask Muna flat.

"Gtsi..." Dusk tried to hold back his laughter looking at Muna's stiff and cold expression.

"Your expression can be conditioned please!" grumbled Luna was upset.

"Hahaha, funny." Finally, Dusk's laughter broke when he saw the face of Luna who tried to resist her regret.

"Huh..," said Luna as she walked away towards Dusk.

"Argh!, sick," cried Dian while picking Lily flowers to give at dusk.

"What's the matter Dian?" dusk asked frantically as he looked at Dian's bloodied hands.

Luna then looked towards where Dian's hand was bleeding. There's a big ball of bright white feathers.

"Let me see," Luna took Dian's arm and examined the wound.

"It's just a cut from the agreement" Luna explained as she pointed towards the large ball of fur.

Dian who was startled then looked at the fur ball and looked at him strangely. He took the ball of fur and it turned out that the ball of fur was a rabbit with a body as big as the fist of an adult man.

"He has made a contract with you, and now you are his master." Obviously Muna with a flat face.

"Welcome Dian may she be your patron someday" Dusk was so enthusiastic, to be honest he had expected this from the very beginning of their arrival to the place.

After enjoying the beauty of Lily flowers, the three friends went to the river to rest for a while.

"I feel like I want to take a shower" luna complained as she tied her long hair.

Muna let out a long sigh and explained under the water the river was so cold if they took a bath and lingered there for a long time.

"I'll go to catch fish only," Luna replied casually.

"Have you decided on his name?" ask Dusk to Dian while stroking the white ball.

"I plan to name it white. What do you think, Miss?"

"Name that suits him."

"Not bad" Muna replied briefly.

"Damn it!" luna shouted while raising a black cat in her hand.

"Look at this, he ate my prey," said Luna as she flicked the cat's ears.

"Take it off maybe he's starving" cried Dusk as he stroked the cat's head gently.

"Can't, I have to teach him a new lesson he can go," exclaimed Luna irritatedly as she stared at Muna.

The cat then clawed Luna's hand and ran away towards the forest. An annoyed Luna ran after him. The shocked Muna chased Luna into the forest that was getting further and further away.

Dusk followed the two from behind gasping. The two of them got further and disappeared from the sight of Dusk. Now Dusk is alone in the woods with no escort from anyone.

Dusk looked around as he shouted calling the names of his two best friends. Long Dusk walked but he still did not manage to find the two of them. Dusk went in the direction where he came but Dusk still could not find a way out.

"It looks like I'm lost," murmured Dusk as he walked around in circles.

"Do you know where this is?" ask Dusk on his three holy animals.

"Our lady is in the middle of the forest and this place is quite dangerous" Lily replied as she walked towards the North.

"Miss this way," he continued.

Dusk then followed Lily from behind, not long after walking Ristia began to act strangely by continuing to spin around on the fingers of the hand Dusk.

"What's wrong?" ask Dusk to Ristia who looks agitated.

"Miss I feel such a powerful energy," Ristia felt a powerful energy from the east. Lily who felt strange about Ristia's condition also looked in the direction she saw, even vanilla slightly revealed his teeth while groaning a little.

Instantly Lily sensed a huge energy that was beginning to approach them suddenly.

"Miss is coming," cried Lily who jumped on the head of Dusk.

"Who?"

Instantly a tiger that was the height of an adult horse with a yellow-gold fur jumped towards Dusk. As a result, Dusk fell right between the tiger's legs.

Dusk's body instantly froze with a pale face. Somehow the lips of Dusk seemed to be locked firmly and his voice disappeared like swallowed by the earth. Dusk tried to get out of the tiger's grip, but the resistance was met with a sharp claw.

Ristia swiftly made a barrier so that the tiger could not touch her. The tiger then looked at Dusk while snorting sharply.

The gazed twilight could only stare back at the savage beast. Dusk then saw the body of the animal that was injured as if hunted.

"You are being hunted apparently," asked Dusk as he glanced towards the tiger's feet.

"It's none of your business!" the tiger shouted sharply. Instantly the body of Dusk stiffened and stared strangely at the animal.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" twilight asked curiously, the animal was as shocked as Dusk.

" You.., it's impossible."

The animal seemed to be thinking about something and then arrived - arriving from the back came out a spear that almost hit the head of Twilight fortunately because the shield made by Ristia the spear was thrown from later fall to the ground.

"Aghhh!" twilight shouted just as the spear was thrown away. He was afraid that the spear would hit him. After the spear fell a sound came from the same direction, the sound grew stronger and clearer.

"You...! How can!!?" the voice shouted quite loudly.

The beast then quickly bit the neck of Dusk and made a contract. The twilight that was bitten then shouted while tightly holding his neck that was wet with blood.

"Miss!" shouted Eza who arrived at the location along with Cavil and Marques.

Actually they are hunting this tiger animal because he is a rare sacred animal that has a strong enough energy and belongs to the legendary animal that is difficult to conquer.

"Miss why are you here?" ask Eza while approaching the direction of Dusk.

Unfortunately he was still blocked by the beast, not long after Luna and Muna and Dian and their bodyguards had come to the place. They have been looking for dusk ever since.

"Monday..!!" Call Luna with a guilty facial expression even more so when she sees Dusk spitting blood.

"How is he here?" asked Cavil growled.

"Here, it's all my fault. I ran into the forest to catch the thief and lost Dusk during the process" Luna said with a regretful face.

"It's not my fault, I should have stayed with Dusk so this wouldn't happen."

Now Muna who looks sad, Mina then sees Dusk back and looks at the wound on her neck.

"That's enough. Stop," exclaimed Marques as he walked closer to Luna and Muna.

"Maybe it was my fault that shepherded the animal to this place," Marques continued with a stoic facial expression.

"Wait a minute, it looks like the animal has contracted with Dusk," explained Mina suddenly made everyone there confused.

"What do you mean?" cavil asked confusedly.

"Look, if the animal wants to hurt him then he has been injured since then but look at the position of the animal that protects him. The animal thought we were the enemy" Mina explained as she stared at the tiger.

"It looks like we are herding good luck to Miss Dusk," exclaimed one of the knights who was answered nodding by the others.

Eza was visibly unhappy with Marques Winter's knight's treatment of her nona.

"But if the animal kills Miss Dusk instead of binding a contract then who is to blame?" eza asked annoyedly as she walked over to Dian.

"Maybe this is just luck but if this happens again then who knows the end," continued Eza while staring intently at the knights.

"True Eza, next time we can't let our guard down" Cavil allowed.

The twilight that had felt a stinging pain coming out of his neck could only hear the faintness of their voices. Dusk then told Ristia to reduce her pain, a while later Dusk had started to improve.

"Who's your name?" ask Dusk through the inner link.

"Call me Kun," Kun replied casually.

"Can't you look flashy?" tanya Dusk answered a nod of the head by Kun after Kun's body shrunk like an ordinary wild cat.

Everyone in that place could only be speechless at Kun's change. He then stepped forward towards Dusk and hung at his feet.
