The Story of the Wind Wanderer
The Journey Back Continues #119

"Start!" exciting Alaia.

Finished packing all the equipment used for the night in the middle of the forest, as well as have extinguished and cleared the bonfire that had lit. Altezza and his three companions resumed their journey towards the capital of the Kingdom of Neverley. The return adventure continues, heading to the capital before then Altezza will begin his investigation of the Cursed Oasis - the destination of his current adventure.

Fortunately Altezza with a group of travelers who also more or less have the same purpose. They also intend to learn and find out everything about the famous myths of the Eastern Continent, one of which is the Basilisk monster that inhabits the Cursed Oasis.

It was late afternoon, on a very clear day. Altezza continued to walk through the forest, heading east. This time the journey is not boring, because with his three new colleagues, especially Alaia who does not seem to run out of talk. The gray-haired girl always had something to talk about along the way, getting Eugene and Aaron to talk, and even pulling Altezza into a conversation that really didn't really matter.

"The palace of the Kingdom of Neverley is certainly grand and vast" said Alaia with her carefree attitude and intonation, walking side by side with Altezza, and behind Eugene and Aaron who led the way.

"It's a palace, Alaia. Surely the building is magnificent and luxurious" said Aaron, smiling with a sigh.

"I'm curious!" muttered the girl, still continuing in his discussion about the palace. He folded his arms, and then seemed to think while wondering, "what is Princess Kiara?"

Aaron was silent, and so was Eugene. The two blond-haired men just kept quiet while smiling slightly, letting Alaia speak for herself. Feeling no response from her two friends, the beautiful girl then turned to Altezza who was walking beside her and threw more or less the same question at her.

Alaia's two beautiful golden-yellow irises glowed with enlarged pupils as she stared at Altezza, "do you know it, Altezza? How beautiful is that princess?" tanyakanya.

In a relaxed and calm manner as usual, the black-haired man replied, "i don't know much, but all I heard was that she was the prettiest girl in the kingdom with silver wavy hair, she's famous for her silver hair."

The steps of the four of them continued to walk, passing through thousands of trees that were quite thick with a lot of bushes. Along the way in the middle of the tropical forest, Altezza several times saw various fauna living in it. Various types of squirrels with various patterns, beautiful birds, several types of deer, anoa, and, and some animals are adorable like the slow loris but have slightly smaller features with both eyes large in size. Altezza even stopped his steps for a moment when he saw one of the typical fauna of the Eastern Continent.

"Oh, this animal is called Airulops, and he is one of the typical fauna of this country" said Eugene, approaching Altezza who looked quite stunned to see a small animal shaped like a bear that was perched on a tree trunk in front of his eyes.

"I've never seen an animal like this before" Altezza said, smiling happily, looking at the two gray-haired animal's eyes, which were round in shape and were quite large in black, coupled with an innocent looking facial expression was extremely adorable.

"The spread of this animal only exists in the Eastern Continent, and he belongs to protected animals, plus he is a nocturnal creature and often meets illegal hunters at night. Therefore the population is thinning, and we are lucky to see it in the wild," Eugene said, returning to talk and explain a little about the animal to Altezza.

"Pity ...." Alaia looked sadly at the animal, which was mostly silent despite meeting humans, "may I touch it?" tanyanya.

"Don't ...! Let him, don't be disturbed!" sahut Aaron immediately forbade his sister.

After seeing such wildlife and rarities, they return frightening steps and their journey. There was still a very long distance to be able to reach the royal capital, and to get there they needed to pass through several territories first.

After many hours of walking, the night was approaching, the darkness came back to swallow the sunlight. The sound of insects sounded very loud as it filled every segment in the forest. So far the journey has been smooth and fine, but Altezza himself feels the same feeling as the night before, his heart restless again. He misses his hometown and reunites with those he loves. But the feeling that enveloped his heart right now was not just about longing, but anxiety like fear of a 'thing' that he could not yet solve what exactly 'thing' was.
