Breakfast was over, their Aquila who had been in the tent before came out to breathe the cool morning air in the summer with the sun shining brightly.
A small, dark purple spider clings to a girl's shoulders along with two small, reddish-orange birds that chirp melodiously, making the morning atmosphere come alive with the chirping sounds of both beautiful birds.
The girl with deer antlers walked gracefully beside a girl holding two animals of different colors and shapes. And of course with an elf girl who always covered her hair with a black hood.
"That's Miss Messiah!" Exclaimed a middle-aged man standing among the newly watered trees.
The people around him who heard the shouting voice between them immediately stood up and immediately ran to face the person who had freed them all from the very cruel exploitation.
They all flocked to Aquila and his entourage and then bowed very solemnly. Both men and women do the same thing.
Aquila's face instantly turned cold and disliked their behavior, as if she was an honorary madman. Leave and Mianami who saw the change in her nona face immediately understood.
"Hope you all stand." Minami said in a loud voice. Those who listened to the orders from Minami instantly woke up from their prostration and sat down on the spot.
"You must not humble yourself before us, especially Miss Aquila. It makes the lady very uncomfortable." Leave said representing Aquila who seemed reluctant to reprimand them all.
"But we are all unworthy, and we are only bonded slaves." Said one of the crowd.
"Are you not human?" Aquila asked with her flat face that made anyone who saw her feel very creepy.
"We are human beings. B-but we have all lost our freedom" he said in a nervous voice.
"Who you have no freedom. You have that freedom." Aquila said indifferently.
"You can stay here and muddy the trees you just planted, and you can also live in this place and grow crops for your needs. And of course you have to get along with the magical beasts and beasts and protect each other and not hurt." Aquila added and turned her eyes to the fire fox and the obsidian elephant standing not far from them standing.
"All of you, listen to what I say?" Aquila said with a serious face.
"We listened to Miss, and we're very grateful to have allowed us to stay here." Say them all in unison.
"Will miss continue on her way to go to Zuwei kingdom?" Ask the fire fox.
"I can't delay anymore. I fear they will make the other pillars suffer the torment of lust for treasure." Aquila said in a heavy tone.
"I understand miss, then what task will the lady give me?" Ask the fire fox.
"Your job is only to protect this forest, and try to make the humans who want to destroy this forest can you evict and without killing. If they insist, then it's up to you to do what." Aquila said indifferently and a flat face as if unconcerned.
"We'll do it, miss." Say fire foxes and obsidian elephants in unison.
"Then I pick them up. And see you again." Aquila said then walked to the southwest to go to the land of Zuwei which is full of treasures with a vast desert.
A few hours drive through the previously bare Roa forest and only thorny shrubs that adorn every corner and there are new tree seeds planted and have begun to grow. Of course all that thanks to Leave who is very close to the green nature full of trees.
Eventually they were swept away by the desert and forest of Roa. Leave turned into a crystal deer and followed by the Archane spiders to facilitate their long journey through the vast desert like a sea of gold that sparkles in the sun.
They had all waded through the barren desert for half a day without rest, but had yet to find anyone crossing the desert and only a few small reptile animals were visible.
Finally they found an oasis surrounded by palm trees and dates that thrived in a clear oasis. The day will be near night with the sign of the sun sinking behind a high sand dune opposite a calm oasis.
"Miss, we rest and spend the night here, and tomorrow we continue again." Mianmi said then came down from the back of the Archane spider.
"No problem. It's pretty convenient to spend the night here." Said Aquila and then came down from Leave's back.
"sister Aquila, I feel bad things are coming for us." Shiro said with his ears constantly moving.
"About who the uninvited guest was Shiro?" Ask Aquila. But Minami had already taken out her twin daggers just in case.
"Do I have to check on you, miss?" Tanya Mianami clasped tightly onto her dagger.
"No need brother, he'll come alone to us." Aquila replied casually, as if it was no problem for her.
"Sir Aquila, it always is. Yeah, but I like it." Shiro.
"But, Giel is afraid of you." Rugiel hid her small face in Aquila's sling.
"Shiro will protect you. So don't be afraid." Aquila is calming.
"Why should I?" Shiro protested.
"I don't want my two cute sisters to get dirty. So don't argue, okay?" Aquila said with a very flat face, as if she hated something soiled by dust.
Shiro was immediately silent, he was very familiar with Aquila who was very unhappy with something that was not clean made Shiro remember when thrown into a bathtub and greeted with a terrible smile by Aquila.
Remembering that, making the feather on Shiro's back stand straight up with goosebumps and fear.
"Rino, what's wrong with you?" Ask Rugiel with a curious face.
"none. Just don't make Aquila's sister see our fur dirty. I don't want to touch cold water." Shiro answered with a frightened face.
"if you've understood Shiro, so don't violate." Aquila said, and Aquila took the uchikana sword in her dimensional necklace.
"Sir Leave, please take care of them." Aquila said to Leave who was still in the form of Crystal Deer.
"Send it to me, miss." Leave said with a smile.
BBUUMMM......
The sound of a loud explosion with sand dust soaring high. And accompanied by sand that falls from a height like a waterfall but in the form of sand
