The Black and White Magic Knights
The foggy forest and the fire-tailed lion

After a long night, the morning finally arrived, Kuzo and Serina immediately rushed to continue their journey. But as Serina was getting ready to see a beautiful egg, being held by Kuzo

out of curiosity Serina asked Kuzo “hei what is an egg? I have never seen such a beautiful and beautiful egg” Serina said as she pointed towards the dragon egg held by Kuzo

“ohh this..., this is a dragon egg that I happened to find yesterday when I was looking for food, I found it lying in a cave” Kuzo said to answer Serina

Serina in shock also said “apa? there is no way the dragon race should have been extinct long ago, maybe it was not a dragon egg but another magic beast egg”

“just look later if this egg has hatched, only later you will believe that this is the egg of a dragon” said Kuzo

“well. But aren't you just looking for food? Why did you have to go into a cave?” serina told Kuzo

Kuzo answered “eh.it.anu, it's true. Actually I was exhausted and I happened to find a cave so I entered it to rest for a while he.he.he” while scratching his head

“hoo, so yes. But this egg is really beautiful, I am so impatient to see what kind of baby dragon will come out of this beautiful egg later, when it has hatched” said Serina while smiling with excitement

“well, we just wait for later” said Kuzo while putting the dragon egg into his bag

“eum..i am sure once, when the egg hatches will definitely take out a very beautiful baby dragon” said Serina

“yaa, I'm sure so. Already let's immediately continue our journey” said Kuzo to invite Serina

Serina answered “umu..ayo we are berangakt”.

They continued their journey back, until finally a few days passed and they met a forest that had a thick fog in it.

Kuzo then asked Serina when they were right near the forest filled with thick fog “ Serina, is to go to the Elf village it must pass through this foggy hetan first?”

“i don't know either, because I've never gone out of the Elf village and I couldn't look out while inside the bandit train before. Should we take a detour?” serina

Kuzo thought and then said “ we could just walk around to avoid danger, but we don't know how big this foggy forest is, also you said the parallel star is the direction to go to the Elf village, try to see the parallel star shows the direction into the forest of this fog” while Kuzo pointed at the parallel star, “and it is possible that the village of Elf is in the middle of this foggy forest” Kuzo said again

“i don't want to enter it either, but we have no other choice. So we just have to be careful” Kuzo told Serina

“hum...Well if big brother Kuzo says so” said serina while hugging Kuzo's right arm

‘eh...Serina called me sister? It's rare that he used to call me (hey, and you) but now he calls me brother? Wait, why did he call me brother? Even though he looks the same as me who is 12 years old, but he is from the Elf race who has a long life, shouldn't he be older than me?. Was my thinking wrong about the Elves all this time? Ahh...Here is why I thought about this’ Kuzo said in his heart

Then they entered the foggy forest, but not long after they walked, the thing they feared appeared, they saw a beast in the thick fog

Serina was immediately asked to Kuzo with nervousness and fear “kak Kuzo what animal is it? looks very scary”

“if you see from the size of his body and the tail that lights up, it looks like a fire-tailed lion” said Kuzo

“apa lion?” serina said in shock

“ya, so shut up and let's get out of here. If we get caught we will definitely die here” Kuzo said as he pulled Serina away

Lucky they could go from there, they continued their journey until they finally saw a very bright light from a distance they both planned to approach the beam. But just after they had started to step, they were startled by the presence of the fire-tailed lion that was running towards the two of them, they also without a second thought immediately ran towards the light with all their might. But since they were both just small children, they were quickly overtaken by the fire-tailed lion, Kuzo who knew that they would soon be overtaken immediately said to Serina “ Serina, if it continues like this we will be overtaken, so you run to that light and I will try to catch the lion's attention”

“but...” says Serina.

“already....if not we both will definitely die with” said Kuzo while pushing Serina from behind.

Serina also continued to run towards the light while crying and said ‘kak Kuzo, you have to stay alive’ in her heart

While Kuzo stopped from running, waiting until the sight of the fire-tailed lion was only on him, while waiting for Kuzo to add strengthening magic to his feet to speed up his steps later, he said, after finishing then Kuzo immediately ran in the other direction quickly, but what is the power of the lion is still faster than Kuzo so that Kuzo immediately overtaken and immediately attacked by the fire-tailed lion with his claws. But just before Kuzo was attacked, the dragon emblem in Kuzo's hand suddenly shone and clenched the fire-tailed lion, and Kuzo was surprised by the sudden appearance, but then the lion still approached and tried to attack Kuzo again, then the emblem in Kuzo's hand shone again and made a barrier around Kuzo. In that state Kuzo was confused but not for a long time Kuzo was shocked back with his left hand that issued a fire “what is this? A fire.... It's a little different, is this dragon” fire Kuzo said nervously.

Suddenly Kuzo's black magic energy (darkness) flowed into his left palm then resonated with the dragon flame and created an extremely hot, black flame, without a second thought Kuzo instantly formed the fire into a black fireball and threw it out of the barrier while shouting “accept this and die”, to attack the fire-tailed lion, he said, but unlike what Kuzo had expected, with Kuzo's power now that black flames could only make the fire-tailed lion faint and get injured, it could not instantly kill him. But because the fire-tailed lion fainted and Kuzo also had no strength to attack and then kill the lion Kuzo did not waste the opportunity and immediately went to drag his tired body to catch up with Serina who was already running towards the bright light earlier....Seriate.....
