THE GODDESS OF CONQUERORS
The Northern Border Forest

After traveling for almost three days Aqila and the others finally reached the Northern region only staying through one more forest to arrive at the border.

now they are stopping at one of the nearby villages before entering the forest.

"we're taking a short break here"

said Aqila who then descended from her black horse.

"but lady if we stop now we'll most likely arrive in the woods by midnight"

To Mu answered Aqila's words after he estimated the current state of time

"why indeed"

Aqila stared flatly at the man not far from where she was standing.

"i heard the Northern border forest is not safe at night"

Annchi who accidentally heard the rumors among the public shuddered in horror when imagining what would happen to them later.

"why"

tanya Lila felt curious after seeing the expression of the girl.

"according to the news that circulated the forest had a waiter anyone who crossed the forest in the middle of the night never returned again even many people estimate that they were dead"

Annchi began to explain the rumor even with a cramped buluk.

"oh"

aqila replied indifferently making the two brothers drop their jaws let alone Annchi who was already speechless to his surprise with the response Aqila gave.

"so how's miss"

Lin Shan finally made a sound after just silence and listened to the conversation.

silence there was no reply Aqila simply closed her eyes while leaning on her dark horse body.

"what if tonight we stay in this village only tomorrow we continue the journey too risky if we force to enter the forest"

To Mu proposed his opinion thinking about the situation that would happen later.

"hm"

after the negotiations were over, the five of them immediately looked for an inn to rest a body that had been exhausted during the trip here.

fortunately the village provides lodging for the migrants who want to go to the North.

although it was only one inn with makeshift facilities, but it was enough for the five of them.

finally that night they did not enter the forest and chose to sleep in the inn.

the next morning, the five people were reawakened by the sound of crows, they immediately rushed to clean themselves before going downstairs for breakfast.

after performing the cleansing ritual to four people down first died aqila who was still busy with his own activities.

Aqila looked relaxed no matter that her friends were waiting for her, they did not dare to eat first without the girl.

once it was felt who Aqila immediately went down following the others, his presence again became the center of attention for those who had been present first in there.

Aqila Just being as indifferent as ever not caring about all those compliments, she continued to step towards Lila, Lin Shan, To Mu and Annchi.

after arriving he directly sat down next to Lin Shan without saying a word Aqila was exactly like the refrigerator running cold and deadly.

after that they immediately enjoyed the food that had been provided by the waiter.

thirty minutes passed and the five of them continued their journey to the forest.

"this forest looks ordinary there is no such thing as the villagers say"

lila said on the way, they have arrived in the forest and are entering the heart of the forest.

"quiet water does not guarantee that there is no danger in it"

aqila answered flatly Lila said the girl's eyes Still keep an eye on the situation around her.

"what the lady said was right, stay alert we don't know what's in front of the sanah"

lin Shan said confirming Aqila's words the young man also felt something strange about this forest.

just as Lin Shan finished his words a white panther walked over towards them.

the tiger roared angrily as his territory entered the stranger, his eyes staring intently at the five people before him.

Annchi was terrified to see the beast let alone its fangs that looked so sharp as if they were able to tear one's body in just one bite.

To Mu also looked uneasy while Aqila Lila and Lin Shan were still calm the three of them were staring flatly at the ferocious beast.

the stare-to-face action did not last long as the panther began to attack with random movements.

others were a little overwhelmed in overcoming the ferocity of the beasts whereas Aqila was just silently watching.

not intending to help at all but the truth was that Aqila was observing the panther

Aqila felt that something was different from the animal like she was being controlled by someone.

and sure enough Aqila's guess was very accurate when the girl saw a strange mark on the back of the animal's head.

"backward"

Aqila exclaimed to break up the concentration of others including the predator he walked casually towards the panther.

the four people who witnessed felt anxious and worried, they wanted to make a sound but Aqila first gave a code to keep them quiet.

silent, the atmosphere was completely silent only the gusts of wind and falling leaves were heard at that time.

the panther was silent as if hypnotized by the movement of aqila even though if seen by the naked eye the girl was just walking leisurely as usual.

as soon as it was near Aqila rubbed the head of the savage beast slowly made her feel comfortable in need of it so.

others stared at the cengo action they continued to think and guess what happened actually so that the wild animal looked more obedient.

"you're fine"

Aqila asked telepathically with a hand that was still gently caressing the fine feather.

"who"

the panther was confused by the voice he heard at this moment.

"i'm the girl in front of you"

"you can speak and understand our language"

the panther stared in disbelief at Aqila, he shook his head repeatedly to make sure his audience.

"hm"

"how is it possible"

the panther was surprised by the justification Aqila gave.

"nothing is impossible in this world"

aqila replied flatly, the interaction of the two is still the center of attention to the other four humans.

"huh"

the panther let out a rough sigh that sounded more like a groan of anger.

"what happened"

Aqila immediately asked to the core of the matter because she was still curious about the mysterious figure behind the scenes.

"what do you want"

instead of answering Aqila's question the panther asked back, she also felt curious just like the girl.

"answer my question first"

Aqila said coldly, she did not like it when her question was answered with another question.
