Sweet Curse
Aunt Lilith

It turned out that this beautiful woman was Auntie Juna. The snake goddess Lisa saved last year.

"I'm sorry I scared you guys." Sesal Aunt Juna.

"My name is Lilith. It's good to see my savior again and also my niece. Thanks for earlier. Your kindness I will never forget."

"Either. So the big shadow outside the tent was Aunt Lilith?"

Lilith nodded. "I'm sorry I had to come up with my true form. I should have thought about that."

"It's okay. I'm the only one who's easily frightened."

"We'd better talk somewhere else. This area is not safe. Come with me."

Lisa and Juna looked at each other. Juna gave a small nod then they decided to follow Lilith.

Lilith led the two into a cave. The cave was used as a door and also a link between their world and the outside world.

Lilith chanted some spells and another dimension instantly appeared and they entered into it.

Right after they entered the door it automatically disappeared. Lisa was shocked and panicked. How they will get out.

"That door cannot be entered by just anyone. Only our descendants can pass through. He can detect other energies that have nothing to do with us."

"What happens to people who have other energies if they force their way through that door?" Ask Juna.

"The door will fight. He will be an impenetrable fortress and attack like the most powerful weapon."

"But how did I get through it?" Lisa asked again because she had no blood from their descendants.

"Remember the energy I gave you? It belongs to my brother and that door recognizes you as my brother. So don't worry, you're very welcome here."

Lilith showed what was in front of them after passing through the bushes. The eyes of Lisa and Juna were amazed at the beautiful sight before their eyes.

The colorful plants are lit. Makes it even more beautiful in the middle of the night. Not to mention there were a bunch of animals lit up like fireflies flying in groups. They are like making a formation fly here and there showing an extraordinary show.

Not to mention the sound of bird singing that out of nowhere sounded very beautiful. Though it's still night. How can there be the sound of birds singing. This is amazing. Lisa feels like she's on Pandora.

"Some animals may already be sleeping a lot. We don't have too many animals nights." Lilith.

"It's like heaven." Amazed Juna.

"really? You're overvaluing it." Lilith said leading them to a village or rather a large tree house.

The tree was large and towering until its branches could accommodate several houses that they could live in.

Lisa was once again amazed. At first Lisa thought they would live in the ground like snakes. He forgot that snakes can also live on top of trees.

Some people from the tree house came out to see their arrival. Lisa doesn't really understand what's exciting about them until they're all out in the middle of the night.

Lilith led them all the way to the highest peak of the tree. Where there is the largest building of another tree house.

"This is my father, Leos, he's also your grandfather." Lilith to Juna.

Leos immediately hugged Juna warmly. Leos patted Juna several times on the back. Feel how handsome Lilian's son is.

"You grew up well." Praise Leos to Juna.

"Thank you, Cake."

"You must be very tired. Come on, Grandpa, show me your room."

They had just arrived, but they already had room to rest. It felt like they knew they were coming.

Both were given different rooms. But Lisa was quite grateful that their room was facing each other. So he doesn't have to go far if he needs Juna.

Actually it's early morning. Lisa doesn't know if she should sleep or stay up and wait for morning to come.

Lisa pulled out the phone from her pocket. Trying to send a message to Juna. But there is no signal here. Looks like the phone can't function properly in this place.

Tok..

"Yes?"

"Yes please." Pintupun open. Lilith had a big smile with some small food on the tray.

"You must be hungry." Said Lilith while giving Lisa a tray of small meals and tea.

"The snack in the middle of the night." Lilith again.

"Thank you." Lisa received the tray.

Lisa saw some little white food that I don't know what. He had never seen food like this before.

"The name's dew cake, it's my brother's favorite snack."

Lisa nodded in understanding then started taking it and trying it out. It was unexpected that this food was delicious. Likith smiled happily at Lisa's amazed expression.

"Ehmm. It's delicious. What's this made of?"

"Mountain fruits and also morning dew."

Lisa stared at the wonder how the fruits mixed with dew could end up being white. Is that possible? But this is really delicious.

"I'm glad you like it." Lilith smiled broadly.

"really. Actually, there's something I want to ask. So this energy I have is it really Juna's mother's?"

"truely "

"Why did Auntie give me such precious energy?"

"First, because you have helped me and second, because you are very similar to my brother. Didn't Juna ever mention this? You really look a lot like him."

"Not at all. What was that time, when Aunt was hurt. The one who hurt Auntie was Juna's father?"

Lilith's smile unraveled. "You're right. Who else could have attacked me if it wasn't him."

"But why Juna's father didn't look for me directly. Isn't that easier?"

"No, you're wrong. If that energy is on you, then it will be difficult for him to take. Because you are human and surrounded by many other human beings. He wouldn't take such a big risk to take it blatantly."

"But he showed up when I was in class. And there's still a lot of people."

"really? He did that?"

"really. At that time I was reading a novel in class, a love story of the snake princess and the eagle."

"You read it? Mercifully... Does Juna know about that story too?

"Juna read it through. Aunt put it there?"

"really. I don't know the right way to tell you this. I'm grateful you've read it. Maybe he knows about this. So he's preventing you from reading it and taking a big risk."

"But the principal could have taken the book after."

Lilith shook her head. "He won't be able to. I gave the book a little magic. Make only you and Juna find it."

Lisa understood. It's worth it even though it's been a while but Lisa can still get the book back.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Lisa shook her head. "It's all clear in the book."

Lilith nodded in understanding. "I think I wrote it well. Then I'll let you rest. If you want to contact Juna's room, you can use this bell flower."

Lilith pointed at the bell flower attached to the vines on the wall next to the bed.

"Good night."

"Good night."

Lilith closed Lisa's bedroom door and let her owner rest.
