The Story of the Wind Wanderer
The Winding Wind #129

A very quiet night, the sound of crickets did not stop being heard. Altezza sat quietly on top of the watchtower located not far from the gate of Arcadia Village, alone. The view of Altezza is not far from the top of the hill in the West of the village. On top of the hill was a sealed blue-colored creature, restrained by a golden-yellow magic chain. So large in size, a three-headed dog that looks comparable in size to the size of a farm tool shed seen from a distance.

So far there is no visible excessive movement of the dog, most of which can only sit quietly, and still in a state of snoring alias asleep. Around Arcadia Village seemed to be heavily guarded by the local guards, guarded by many Elves and Half-Beasts Humans with makeshift weaponry.

While waiting for something to happen, Altezza stood on top of the tower while raising one of his palms parallel to his chest, and slowly created a whirlwind centered on his palm. The wind blew very gently, centered on his palm, and several times around his wrist.

When the wind magic was created, the black-haired man suddenly spoke to himself, "are you able to hear me, Aerin?" ask with low intonation.

Aerin, the wind that often invites Altezza to talk to make him have to give a name for the wind. But this time, Aerin was not present. No response was heard from within his mind. The question is not answered.

Altezza sighed, disappointed while harboring feelings of anxiety. Slowly he lowered his palm, unleashed the wind magic he had created, and ended up looking at the night sky that looked so dark there were no stars or moonlight at all.

"What's wrong? What the hell is going on? Not usually this happens," Altezza spoke for himself, taking off the confusion that almost always plagues his heart at nightfall.

"There was no Shiro when my heart needed him, and neither did Aerin. It's completely different, very awkward, not as usual ...!" altezza continued, not taking his eyes off to the sky and continued to say a prayer or hope, "maybe nothing bad happens."

"Excuse me, am I interrupting your time, Altezza?" cetus Alaia's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

A little surprised, Altezza looked back and replied, "ti-no, of course not. What's wrong?" looking at the gray-haired girl who always carried her golden scepter everywhere.

Alaia smiled sweetly, stepped a little closer to Altezza, and ended up standing right next to the man. The beautiful gray-haired girl looked cheerful, looked up at the same sky as Altezza and said, "forgive me, Altezza. I just accidentally heard you talking alone."

Altezza smiled, shook his head and immediately replied, "it's okay, sometimes I like to let out my complaints to the wind."

"To the wind?" cetus Alaia, looking straight back, smiled, looking at Altezza's two black irises with both of his golden pupils looking enlarged.

Altezza nodded slowly, looked up at the dark night sky and replied, "yes, to the wind."

The smile of the handsome man slowly faded, considering his question had just been to the wind not getting the slightest answer. But the smile was again engraved as Alaia looked at herself and threw a question, "is there really a wind spirit inhabiting the Land of Zephyra? And what does it look like?" he asked with a sense of curiosity that seemed quite high, visible from both his eyeballs that looked sparkling.

"Including the green bracelet you're wearing?" sahut Alaia, gazing curiously at the green circular bracelet on Altezza's right wrist. The bracelet looked light green, slightly lit, and looked beautiful.

Altezza immediately looked at his right hand, and looked surprised and amazed. The bracelet was completely lit, and it had a very beautiful light green aura. It was the first time he had seen the knitted bracelet he was wearing lit up and aura-like objects that were fed by magic or magical power. But it did not last long, in just a few seconds, the light green aura and light slowly faded until it disappeared, revealing a light green bracelet that did not glow as before.

"I didn't know it could glow" said Altezza, lowering his hand after the light and light green aura faded and disappeared.

"Great! Where did you buy it? Can I also have a magic bracelet like yours?" alaia said, smiling widely, and still fixedly looking at the face of Altezza from a distance of less than one meter next to him.

Altezza shook his head, spontaneously smiling slightly and said, "i didn't buy it, it's a gift bracelet from someone."

Shortly after hearing Altezza's reply, Alaia's countenance and carefree gaze slowly faded away like a disappointed person, but was still covered with a small smile despite looking a little bitter.

The gray-haired girl threw her gaze towards the night sky while speaking, "surely someone is very precious to you, huh ...?"

Not answering or responding to him, Altezza just stood still and looked towards the same sky. The man rests his right palm on the grip of a well-gloved sword and always hangs on his belt. It was a quiet night with an atmosphere that felt quite cold.

But the calm lasted only a while, until finally divided by the sound of the howling of dogs from a distance.

"The herds of creatures are coming, you get ready!" Aaron suddenly ran quickly up the stairs to the tower, and reminded the two people who were busy standing on top of the watchtower.

The large dog sealed with golden-colored magic chains seemed to wake up from its slumber, and instantly howled very loudly like a wolf under the full moon. At the same time there was a massive movement from the forest not far from the hill where the dog was chained. The trees seemed to move to destroy some of them, and from a great distance the birds flew from the forest in fear, fly towards Arcadia Village until it passes right above the head of Altezza.

"Let's finish them," said Altezza, then move on first, leaving Alaia still glued to the top of the tower and overwhelmed by fear.

Alaia's cheerful facial expression completely disappeared, turning into full of anxiety in just an instant.
