The Knights of Eldania
Open an Eye

SNOOZE...CURSINGS....SNOOZE.....

His hand moved according to his needs, namely nothing but pounding a red leaf in a bowl made of clay.

Ailyn for a few days now did something else besides going around the forest, and among them was pounding the leaves she received from her brother, dripping from a 'where' stone in order to melt, and then drink it.

[Why am I doing this?.] contrary to what he said, in the last 6 days, he routinely did his routine to minimize the collision of these leaves on a dead bird?.

It was supposed to be a dead bird, but because of one other thing, it ended up doing something that went against the laws of nature.

Ailyn placed the bowl first on a stone beside her, and then to her two hands she used it to force open the beak to be completely wide open.

[Because of this bird, I did a strange job.] The curse, not accepting it, the dignity of it so fell for drinking potions on a bird that should have died there.

Ailyn began pouring little by little water from the impact of the leaves into her mouth, and at that moment, the potion began to react, among them was her cold and stiff body, now it's starting to get warm again like it's really alive.

The mixture of 'where' stone water actually has another khaisat, which increases the recovery of the body as well as the magic energy within its body.

Actually the 'where' stone is a crystal stone ball in which it stores magic energy, but if it is not used for a long time, the stone ball can melt and become water that can be drunk.

For humans, the result of the wound he has will be completely healed.

It's like a panacea. But the existence of a stone like this only existed in a certain region, and her brother brought as much as he could to his palace, just in case.

" pis.pi.. " Pici suddenly came, approaching Ailyn who had just finished her daily routine in the morning.

Piki the little tree with a twig that was also small, the root that was used as the foot, kept walking to and fro, the leaves that sometimes fell, the, makes Ailyn feel anxious when looking at the behavior of Pici.

" Pici, I told you not to run. "

" Pi..pi...pi?. "

Ailyn crouched down, in order to align with the shortness of Pici's body.

" Are you sick?. "touched a small ball that shone over his head Pici.

There the ball is a little dim, which should be bright green, so it is not wrong, the reason why the leaves some fall off landed on the floor, meaning Pici is sick.

" Pi..pi..pi...pi...pi..! "

Ailyn felt that Pici should be treated immediately, so decided to take a spoonful of water from the 'whichever' stone he was carrying. Ailyn poured it over Pici's head, precisely to the one ball that was in the top of Pici's head.

It's the only medicine that can cure all diseases, what's more Pici, who is still vulnerable to the surrounding environment, because his body is actually still weak.

After finishing giving Pici the water, Ailyn continued to continue to feed the rest of the dregs from the collision of the leaves into her mouth.

Ailyn then lowered her head, watching the bird in silence, but her mind was thinking about her brother who had been gone for a week.

[Who did he actually meet?. ]Ailyn who rarely comes out of the forest, actually feels jealous of her brother who is free to and fro easily, while she is only confined here to carry out the duties given by her brother.

" Pi.pi...."

Pici who just met his life, also actually knew of the loneliness felt by Ailyn.

Want to accompany him to play, Pici was not wrong to guess that Ailyn did still have free time to play together, because Ailyn was lonely there were no friends her age.

Still looking at the bird, Ailyn's hand suddenly lifted, moving closer to Everst's head.

He thought that his loneliness would be treated if he stroked the fur?.

"..............! " and the thought stopped immediately with his hand still in the air.

[Why would I think that feeling would go away if I stroked it?. ]Ailyn doesn't understand that.

So Ailyn began to pull out her hand again, before her eyes were closed from the beginning, suddenly opened wide in a sharp spotlight like finding her enemy, then the bird immediately...

KEPAKKS.....

His wings fluttered along with that high sense of alert, one of his legs immediately floated up and landed clutching Ailyn's neck.

BRUKK.......

Ailyn's body, pushed down, ended up falling to the floor.

" Ughh...". "whimpering in pain, Ailyn who was immediately attacked in the neck tried to hold the claw directly from the skin of her neck.

" What are you doing "his cold voice instantly changed the atmosphere in the room to a terrible one.

The incident, when Everst realized that she felt first was the existence of someone who was very close to her, despite not feeling a strange air, was, but still he had to make a cautious move with the things around him.

He continued to stare intently at the woman below him while clutching the neck of this pointy-eared woman.

[A-what y...yang..ter.so?.] frowning withstanding the pain, his breathing became more difficult because of the strong grip of the leg on his neck.

" Uh......"

"...Pi.... " Pici, who saw Ailyn hurt, immediately helped Ailyn by attacking a bird that was 3 times larger than the body Pici.

" PIS...PI'S!. "

Everst who realized someone was running towards him to attack him, of course, directly Everst tepis easily with just a flick of his wing, without seeing who had just attacked him.

And his actions, of course, make Pici immediately slammed into the back until struck by the wall.

" PI!. "the pain she was in, her body crumbled with a single blow of wings, her strength was indeed greater than her, but Ailyn was being hurt, that was the origin of her courage.

As for Liyn, she shouted inwardly.

[.........!, Pici.! ]unaccepting with her harsh treatment, Ailyn took out a green-colored arrow that instantly appeared in her right hand, she was about to stab this bird.

Stabbed him for injuring his sapling, and was already ungrateful.

It's been helped, but what it's got is, this bird's strangling its neck.

Everst also drifted to the left side, finding that this Elf woman was about to use a weapon to injure him (Everst ), one leg to her left just kicked Ailyn's wrist, immediately, make the arrow break from his grasp.

So at this time, Ailyn's right hand was depressed with the large legs of this bird. He could not move carelessly, as it could be, the grip of the leg that was on his neck, could instantly kill him in the blink of an eye.

" Why am I here. " Everst, who continued to ask for an explanation even though her right leg was still strangling this woman's neck, had begun to be impatient, and made the strands of fur loose, regardless, forming a sword that would stab and nest in Ailyn's body, if not immediately replied.

[How could I answer, he choked me constantly. Brengs*k. ]Ailyn was really cursing, she wished that this bird would go back to sleep, and that it could sleep forever.

" You must be cursing me right?. "that sharp nail, slowly pressing against Ailyn's neck veins.

Everst certainly did not mess with his actions.

Just a little more left, it would enter and stab him deeply.

" Le. pas.kan du.lu." Ailyn's pinta.

Evert didn't believe it right away, it was possible that this woman would attack him in silence.

" Just answer in these conditions". and continue to demand that he answer his faith even though he was suffocating.

[Crazy bird.he.] Ailyn who was being cornered, and seeing that Pici was already unconscious, she felt that there was no other choice, to use it because what was happening now was that her life was threatened, she said, and all he has to do is defend himself, though...

[Even if you were saved by my brother. ]

Ailyin wanted to use one of her magic...

" Let go of Ailyn. "suddenly the soft voice came upon the two of them who were struggling with their self-defense.

"..............." Ailyn glanced at the source of the sound, apparently her brother had returned, at the right time, before she cast a spell to shoot this bird.

" ..............! " Everst looked back, a green-haired woman was apparently the one who asked her to release this woman she was giggling with.

" Is that an order?. "

Hearing his words, which indeed sounded commanding, made Darayad correct his words again.

He is not the one who takes an order for granted, for what this bird wants is not a command but a request and if possible is a request.

" I'm asking you to let Ailyn go. "

Back at his words, but in the request sentence, Everst finally let go.

" Why are you strangling him?. " Darayad asked while helping the floor-ridden Pici, he healed the wound that this Pici had received.

" Why am I here?. " Everst, who was still waiting for an answer, asked again, but now to the Darayad.

" His Majesty brought you here. It's buried, it should just die there" said Ailyn, with her swearing.

Darayad immediately turned towards his seat.

" Ailyn, take care of your words. "remember Darayad to his sister, because his words are already disrespectful to the guest whom he (Darayd ) brought himself.

Ailyn immediately interrupted her brother's words, still not receiving treatment from this bird, Ailyn so carried away with emotions, began to raise her voice.

" But your majesty saw for yourself, I've been following you to take care of him, but as a result he strangled me and left Pici injured. "

".................." Everst said nothing. If that was the case, he would not apologize.

" I didn't ask you to take care of me. "because after all, it was a thing beyond his will, so he wouldn't still apologize. It is an instinct to be vigilant.

Instead of hearing the debate continue, Darayad began to open his voice again, mediating this conversation.

" Well, I brought you here, to keep that body as my thanks. "

Everst answered immediately.

" Thank you?. You better not misunderstand me. " Everst turned around and flew and landed on top of the nest.

" Both me and him, don't do this for you. " Everst lay on top of the nest again and added her words.

" Even if I take care of you, I won't thank you, because I didn't ask for it. "

[Him.... ]Ailyn who was astonished by the words of this bird was about to give a lesson, but her hand was immediately stopped by Darayad with a soft ring.

Meaning to not make a fuss with the bird.

It's just that Ailyn tried to rebel.

" Your majesty, I told you he was bur- "

But all of her words were swallowed up again after her brother directly thrust the small tree into her face.

" Forget it, keep Pici conscious" orders Darayad. He just wanted to make Ailyn immediately divert that anger by keeping Pici, so that a commotion would not occur in his palace.

" Good." while grumbling dissatisfiedly, Ailyn held the still-fainted Pici and then carried her away.

Secretly Everst who was pretending to sleep, his eyes glanced over the departure of the Elf woman.

" How now?. " Darayad asked, he knew that this bird did not really sleep.

" My sister is gone. "

" How?. " Everst stood up again while looking at the state of her body.

" This body is still not fully recovered, so I am considering staying here for a few days" Everst replied with confidence.

" Where' is yours really back?. "

" Oh.... " He turned his head towards Darayad who had a flat expression.

" You know who I am?. "because interested in the words of Darayad who called the word 'you' as his calling.

" I never really met you once. "

" That sounds fun. Tell me about the meeting you mean 'Elsie' "pinta Everst, she also stood upright while looking at the woman of the forest queen who has the name Elsie.

Everst knew the name of this creature, but felt he had never met her even once. That's why, while resting it's good to be able to listen to the story of this woman.

At least it can be used as a daily fairy tale, after a long time wandering around to get the things he (Everst ) needs to restore his strength completely.

With this story, it was good to dispel his boredom.
