Sword Anthem's
Chapter 26 - Our Lives

After we made it out of the fog forest of death. Right at the end of the border between a forest and a river. A stone resembling a sword was stuck right in the middle of the river.

Clear water, a faint blue sheen that reflects the dim light of the twilight sun. The sky began to move slowly and the sun also shifted as time went on.

"Fear, do you have teleportation magic?" I am still tired.

"Hmmm ... what?"

"Can you do teleportation magic?"

"From yesterday I tried it, but this fog blocked the path of Manaku. If I use excessive magic or large-scale magic, then my man will be sucked up quickly even left."

It seemed like the fog that was in this forest was indeed not an ordinary fog. Is this awkwardness related to the stone sword stuck in front of it?

"Maybe by plucking it will remove this fog"

"It looks like it'll work, then come on."

We went there, with my footsteps still limping, Fear helped me to walk. This is all thanks to the wound on my stomach that has not fully recovered, so my body condition is still weak.

The water flow is not too heavy, only up to the height of my shoe. Together we both pulled it out. At first it was quite difficult but with the trust of both of us, we finally managed to pull out the stone sword.

The entire mist hovering around the top of the forest vanished in an instant. The atmosphere and condition of the forest returned to normal. The forest was back at the time with the sounds of birds singing and some wind gusts that slipped through the leaves and bushes.

Rustling quietly, but with a clearer view was not like before. Trees that rise to the top immediately bring out fresh fruits complete with flowers that bloom around it.

The green clumps growing on the ground lowered the clear dew. Comfortable, peaceful, and also cool. Although the weather was getting dark but the forest was like early morning, were we both now in the dimension?

"Then how now? At least we have to find a place to rest" I said slowly.

"Whatever my husband would do. Then for a minute" he said with a sweet smile.

[Blue in the sky, show us the way]

[Light at the end of a warm dawn, give us strength]

[In the bond that connects us both]

[Into the vast fabric of memory]

Me, Fear Relestya]

[Opens the gates to tomorrow]

A halo appeared above and below us. Blue color transparent sky that shines bright. My head lowered due to reflexes and accidentally saw Fear's bare feet.

The basics cannot be expected.

My lips turned and let out a small smile

"You should have told me from earlier," I said softly.

" Hmm?" he muttered softly, "what do you mean, my husband?" tanyanya.

"Here you go, hold on tight, yes" I said, taking a breath, then carrying Fear.

Although my body condition has not fully recovered, but I can not let it run without using a pedestal. Well, at least I can look back at her blushing face.

"You should've told me from earlier if you didn't use footwear, you know. You are my wife, remember that. At least love your own body part, I don't want you to hurt your own legs" I said softly.

He was silent in his sweet smile. His face began to lift and he gently kissed my right cheek, "I love you, Reiss" she whispered softly.

Then with a flash my vision turned white....

After a while, I could feel a faint tenderness, until finally a voice called out to me in a warm tone, "Reiss, open your eyes."

Then I slowly opened my eyes. My body was now right in front of a wooden door as tall as my body. Right in the middle there is a small house carving.

By reflex I turned around and found a new scene that was much cooler to look at.

Rock road, on the edge there is a lantern hanging on a wooden pole— lined up neatly.

Quite simple houses lined up curved on the side of the road. The walls were white with bright windows of faint yellow light from within. Some chimneys emit friendly ash fumes.

The night light decorates in the upper sky, with the crescent moon being the main highlight. The sky is so beautiful with a flickering star bridge that stretches along the eye of the beholder. The beautiful moonlight highlighted the place we both were.

Several giant walls circled where we were, and I could see some shadows moving over the wall. In order for the two of us to avoid suspicion, I opened the door in front of us.

A small bell rang above the right door. Then a woman who was quite old came out from behind the door and approached the two of us. I was with a pretty adorable little girl.

"Welcome to Kama Inn, how can I help you?"

The woman in front of us is very friendly. His face was oval, with two warm dark brown eyes. Some of her black hair had already turned white, her clothing model looked like it was old. The subordinates are like balconies, round and fluffy.

A red bando with a beautiful knit was mounted on top of his head. For the part of his sleeves, it was short about 10 centimeters in length. While the little boy who had been hiding underneath just stared at us full of puzzles.

His face was white with two large round eyes. A small cherry-like nose, red and also slightly brown. Her hair was allowed to break down in light brown cream.

Her dress was a simple brown dress. Her small arms were unceasingly squeezing the subordinates of this woman's clothes that I thought was her mother.

"Sorry, we both want to stay for at least two or three days" I said kindly.

"For one or two? We provide one room with two beds or one bed. You want to choose which one, sir?"

"I'm going to order one bed, because it's both of us's wedding day." Fear just smiled in my arms.

While the woman I referred to as the host here fell silent, but not long after a wide and warm smile greeted us.

"In that case, please just go straight to the second floor. For the payment you want now or later? The cost is about 570 Mir," he said. " Encompassed with breakfast and dinner

as well as facilities such as bathrooms and also archery places"

“Alright—“

"Is this enough" Fear cut off by releasing the embrace of his right hand. Then he poked a pocket on the subordinate of his white dress. One shiny gold coin was now held by him, and he handed it over.

"At least if it's less I'll give you one more," he continued.

I can only be silent. Where'd he get it?

Same with the woman in front of us. It was like freezing because of the cold. His eyes suddenly became stiff and his face occasionally twitched like his veins were attracted.

The white teeth that begin to tan it are occasionally seen several times. While the little boy behind him just dumbstruck and insert his index finger to pepil and then take it out again.

After that wipe it on the female clothes subordinate in front of him. His feet began to tip and occasionally jumped to pick up the gold coins held by Fear. In the end he got it but fell with the buttocks that first landed on the floor.

His facial expression was strange, not sick but he seemed very interested in the gold coin. Not that it hurts even happy." T-of course, that's enough for me. Mary ... give the coin to grandma" he said

then snatch the coin from the small hand of his grandson.

So he's not her son but his grandson, I guess his son. But where did Fear get those gold coins?

"My name is Emma and this is my granddaughter Mary, if there's anything I can help you just call downstairs," she said lightly then lowered her head and went behind the desk like a reception desk.

"Then we both go upstairs first" I said with a faint smile and thanked him, after which we went upstairs.

The house is very clean and looks very well maintained. After we got to the top. There are two to four doors that are neighbors. It is better to choose the most corner because it can look around out.

Then I walked until I was right in front of that door. Then I opened slowly. One white bed, one wardrobe, one mirror and a small table for writing. It's all in the room I'm going to be living in.

After that I lowered Fear slowly on the bed, due to the weight on my ankle and the wound on my stomach. I fell on the bed and hit him right on his chest.

A slightly surprised Fear let out a small, mute cry. But after that he saw my face, “Honey, if you want—“

"Sleep, Reiss. I know your journey is hard...."

***

The sound of bells that are quite shrill bounces in the corridor of the inn. The glass window near the bed shook slightly. The morning sunlight began to slip through the smallest gap.

Refracting its small light to sting the two people who were soundly asleep.

"Hoummmm ... "

My eyes began to open little by little. Reflexively my right hand rubbed this tired face that would become fresh.

My left arm feels heavy. When I turned my face away, Fear was asleep using my left arm as a cushion. Both of his arms hugged me quite tightly.

"Your face in the morning is sweet" I murmured, stroking his cheek with my right hand.

Her face that was exposed to the faint reflection of the sunlight was very beautiful. It makes my heart feel comfortable to be next to him. I hope a day like this goes on without the slightest interruption.

Now I want to be with him always. Both of his eyes were wide enough to slowly open. And in the end our faces were facing each other.

"Good morning, dear," he said gently as he peeked at my cheek.

"Morning has just been a kiss .. hmm, maybe I'll get used to this."

But deep inside, I could see myself making a happy face.

"Can you get up for a minute? I can't get up" I said lightly.

"For a while let me be like this first. I still want to be like this" he said.

Umm. okay. But where did you get that coin? And again this place...?"

Fear is more of her body to me. Now that his face was right by my side, his warm body became a comfort to me.

"That coin I got while I was in the fog forest of death. Before you were found and before we came here" he replied, rubbing his face against my cheek.

"Then...this place?"

"The teleportation magic I used was the eye of the sky, so I could tell the nearest city or the nearest place inhabited by living beings" he said proudly.

“Hehhh... So like that, until now I still don't understand are you really the daughter of the sky? Looks like you've known me for a long time, haven't you?"

"Of course we used to play together, and you helped me" he said. " You even made an appointment with me a long time ago—

"Wait a minute" cut me quick. "I remember I never made an appointment with a woman and even more so the woman I helped was this size tall, bright brown-eyed and also a—-haired

"Hmmm .. then," cut it while stroking my chin and cheek.

"That's impossible." Every now and then my eyebrows twitch in disbelief, "Is this what is called an extraordinary coincidence?"

"No, it's not a coincidence at all, but it's destiny" she said, creeping up my chest." This is what I like about you, Reiss. Well, attention but also plan and a little forgetful," he said with a little joke, “the little girl you helped at that time has grown up and you can see it right in front of your eyes. Tall, charming, beautiful and sweet isn't it? Moreover, she has now become your wife" she continued, tickling my chest by twisting her right index finger over my chest.

I can only gulp when I hear it, is this what they call a fruit that you have aged?

"It seems like a dream, I should go back to sleep so I can wake up, good night," I chanted and closed my eyes quickly.

"Basic, you're in a time of disbelief anyway, then—“

Suddenly, she held my cheeks and we exchanged warm kisses.  My eyes immediately opened welcoming the kiss of her pink lips right on my moist lips.

Before long he let go of his kiss, "If you still don't believe me, I can do it repeatedly even all day if you want to" he said with a frown.

Ughkkk .. I lost.

"All right, all right, I lost. So where are we now?"

"Now we are in the Capital of Ignia, two kilometers west of the Nehtervile Death Mist Forest" he said without hesitation.

"Your ability is amazing, I don't suspect that you even know the location and name of this place" I'm amazed.

"Hmm ... Who was it, Fear Relestya that was beautiful and also sweet. And don't forget the wife of an extraordinary man named Reiss, hehehe" he said with a chuckle.

"It's you, hahaha."

Then out of nowhere a flyer landed on my face. The leaflet shows a picture of a man's face. It was painted so well that his face was clearly visible.

"Darling, what is that?" tanyanya's worried.

"Tell me to read it for a minute."

I read it out loud so Fear could hear it, "From the Witch-slayer, dead or alive. If you succeed in arresting him immediately submit to the court to follow up or leave it to the local leader. The reward for the person who managed to do so will be given 1000 gold coins, the characteristics of the man is white hair tied with two red eyes like blood. Dressed in black and carrying a silver sword with a black sheath."

After that I glanced at Fear.

"It's not good news, is it?"

"That's how it seems, it's bad. An assassin moreover he is a ruthless slayer if I look from the shape of his eyes"

"You can read his nature?! Your strength is completely beyond my expectations, Fear—eh, sorry... s-honey," I said quickly.

"Yes, being a princess of the heavens means being able to read one's natures and conducts. And what I see of you is pure white, which means that you are very kind and sincere, too" he said, hugging me.

"thank you. Then can we get out of bed immediately? My stomach is getting hungry" I said embarrassedly.

When my stomach suddenly rang, Fear descended from above my body slowly. After that it was my turn to go down, I turned around and how shocked I was to see myself with this look. A rectangular glass

the one attached to the wardrobe just reflected this messed up me.

"Whoaaa—“

"What's up, baby?" chirps Fear is worried.

"His mood was chaotic, I was handsome as well .. hahaha."

Fear was suddenly just laughing giggling because he saw my behavior. After that he grabbed my right arm with his left hand. We both went out to go downstairs.

The smell was so sweet and made me unable to bear it.

"If only we had a house, maybe I would cook you a meal every day, baby," he said, bringing his right index finger closer to his thin pink lip.

"Calm down, as soon as this I'll be working and I'll buy a house for both of us" I said, then gently kissed her forehead.

"Nmh ... "

A radiant face with a beautiful smile that blossomed, that's what I've always wanted to protect. The face of the woman I love most today.
