Chapter 6: Chapter 06. Forbidden Forest (2)
Jumping from branch to branch, the two of them started walking through the forest looking for where their scent came from.
Following the human scent that led them to the edge of the forbidden forest which was the last border with the forest which was the territory of the human race, the scent they felt was getting thicker, but there was no sign of the creature they were looking for.
Standing on one of the strong tree branches, the two of them stopped, and carefully looked around.
Observing longer, but not a single living thing shows its nose.
"I'm pretty sure the smell is coming from here, but why isn't there any sign of any creatures, even beasts that are supposed to roam at night I can't feel their presence?" With furrowed brows, the man who had a black mane began to speak.
"Are you hiding your aura? Why aren't there living beings, as if they feel our presence?" He added again turning his head to see his friend who was still quietly observing the surroundings.
Yes. During this time the two of them had always hidden their aura wherever they were to prevent others from knowing its existence, whether it was an enemy or not it didn't make any difference, except when they were in a fighting position it was invalid.
"Hey ... Can you hear me?" He said irritably, feeling neglected.
"Shut up, stupid, do you think I'm interested in scaring off a creature like that, Haahh…?" replied the white mane with a slightly raised tone of voice, he was wondering to himself, why he could survive with someone whose mouth is always babbling.
"Then, what's going on around here? Why is this situation making me feel a little afraid?" The man in black mane hugged his own body, pretending to be trembling with fear.
"This is weird," he said softly, looking back as if he hadn't heard the man in the black mane.
Not wanting to think and sink into this rather strange situation, the man in black mane suddenly moved, a faint light slowly forming a pair of wings on his back.
"Stupid! What are you doing?" The man in white mane scolded him seeing his friend's act so careless.
"I just thought of observing the situation here more clearly from above, in case I might find it," he replied lightly, smiling happily as if on a hint.
"Is this what you mean by quietly observing? Do you think humans have no eyes? Seeing you hovering in the air on a pair of wings, I don't dare think how the two of us will end up," In an exasperated tone, he tried to stop. the action of the man in black mane.
Realizing his mistake, the faint light that had previously been on his back disappeared in an instant, "Ah ... well, I didn't think that far. Momo, don't scold me, my heart hurts." Wore a pathetic expression with his eyes as if they were about to cry, staring sadly at the man with the white mane.
Receiving a sharp gaze from his interlocutor, immediately erased that pathetic expression, slowly rubbed his nose, trying to avoid the sharp gaze that seemed to have taken his life at that moment.
Shifting your gaze in another direction...
.
.
Finding the object that entered his view dumbfounded him.
Seeing his friend who was previously chatting endlessly suddenly fell silent, the man with the white mane shifted his gaze following the direction of the man in black but found nothing.
"Never mind. Stop acting up, we better just go back." The man in white mane turned to leave.
But not even turning his body to turn around completely, a voice returned to his ears.
"Momo, look! Over there." Pointing at the large tree without taking his eyes off, the black-haired man returned to his voice.
"See what? It's just a tree," his eyes rolled, embarrassed by his friend's behavior.
"Are you now, suddenly attracted to trees?" He added again, ignoring the expression of the man in the black mane.
"No ... no ... that's not trees."
"So what? Stop wasting time, come on back," said the man in the white mane whose patience had run out.
"There ... there ... there ... are a pair of legs."
Hearing the stuttering answer from the man in black mane who was standing on a different tree branch, he felt something strange, he then headed towards the tree branch where his friend stood stiffly.
And sure enough, a pair of legs entered his sight.
"That's a human ... a pair of human legs," he suddenly became convinced that the human smell came from the owner of those feet.
"It is not surprising if previously we did not find anything, we were instead blocked by a large tree," he added.
"But, Momo, if you look at it from its position, it looks like the owner of that leg is lying down or maybe sleeping? I can't stop thinking, why would a human choose to lying under this huge tree at the edge of this extremely dangerous forest, is he tired of living? The black-haired man returned to comment, trying to judge something he saw.
I don't know whether the man in the white mane should laugh or cry because his friend's stupidity was at stake.
"I want to take a closer look," said the black-haired man suddenly leaving the white man, approaching a large tree blocking their view.
Standing on one of the sturdy branches, from below a very sad sight filled his sight, it was only human. A human who lay limp, did not lie as he thought, wounds filled her whole body, for some reason there was a sense of anger in him, his wound was very clear, with dried blood stains also gave a terrible motif to her clothes. is wearing. is wearing. wear, and tear everywhere, let alone girls?
Lost in thought with an incomprehensible feeling when he saw the figure lying weakly in front of him, a shadow suddenly shot out from behind and now a passing shadow was standing beside the girl ??
At first glance, it wasn't someone else. That figure was his friend, a cold being who strictly obeyed the rules of not appearing before mankind. The man has a white mane.
"What happened to her?" Feeling confused by his friend's unexpected actions.
"Hey what are you doing?" he shouted in a half-whisper.
Chapter 7: Chapter 07. Forbidden Forest (3)
When the girl was sure that she would end right away, she felt someone's presence faintly, trying to open her eyes but what she saw was only a shadow, it was unclear what kind of figure was standing in front of her. but she knew that it was a human-like herself. Maybe there is hope, she thought.
Trying to gather back the remaining energy in her body to ask for help from that figure who in the end was only able to make small movements in her mouth before the darkness tore her, failed to make a sound. every effort she made whether it was trying to make a sound or just opening her eyes, her head would throb more and more pain, dizziness.
***
Standing in front of a human girl, for some reason triggered all kinds of emotions in him, a feeling that even confused him with himself. Observe every inch from toe to tip of the girl's hair. found the movement up and down in her chest which indicated that the girl was still alive, made him sigh .. relieved ?? But why?? It was clear that it was only a human, and had never even met him before.
"She passed out?" a landed voice came from behind him, but the man in white hair was silent and did not respond to a sentence that was more like a statement.
"Looks like the wound was quite bad," added the man in black mane.
The man with the white mane just responded with an "mmm" as he walked closer to the girl's body.
Raising his hand, a faint white light flashed across his palms, aiming it at the girl's chest. A faint light that was gradually getting brighter. stay long enough with that position.
Seeing the action of the man in white mane, the man in black mane who was usually always babbling was silent. Standing watching, trying to minimize the sound of his sighing, did not dare to make the slightest sound. he was very clear with what was doing by the man who was standing with his back to him, it was a healing technique by transferring some of the energy in the body of the person who wanted to be healed. A very dangerous technique. how not, if someone interferes with the energy transfer process, it will cause energy chaos in the body of the healer, and it may impact his soul damage. Therefore, this technique is rarely used because it carries a very large risk. if he remembered, it seemed it had been over 700 years since he had last seen the technique.
A change that could be seen with the naked eye occurred in the girl's body, slowly the wounds that filled her body closed, the girl's previously very pale skin color now regained its hue. Only one thing has not changed, the girl's breath is still very weak.
Sweat began to soak the white mane, his brows furrowed deeply, and his breathing grew heavier. The bright light that glowed in his palm earlier slowly disappeared, leaving no trace, he ended the healing process.
His body suddenly swayed backward which was reflexively caught by the man standing behind him, his shirt which was soaked with sweat, also soaked his black robe.
"Did something wrong? How are you?"
"Not. I'm fine," he replied breathlessly, holding his chest.
Seeing the expression of the man who swayed in front of him, his brows furrowed.
"Then what happens to you, don't scare me like that," as if worried the man in black mane said again.
"No ... I'm fine," the man with white hair repeated his answer.
"I just need a few days to recover my energy," he added
His eyebrows were furrowed and it was clear that he knew that the condition of the man in front of him was very bad.
"I'm just confused," said the white mane with what he felt.
"Confused?"
"Yes. Apart from that noble Lord and that person in the past, no one has been able to absorb that much of my energy."
"....." silent not knowing what kind of response to respond because the man in black knew very well who the person meant by the word ''that person'' was. A girl who was deeply loved by the Lord but at the same time feared by all beings. someone who also chose to sacrifice herself to save this world from destruction. Leaving pain in all beings for not succeeding in stopping her.
"Just a moment ago, I felt like I was healing two people at once, if normally when I used that healing technique in the past, I would always be able to control the energy coming out of my body, but this time it was like something was trying to absorb all of my energy forcefully," looked back at the body of the girl he was trying to heal just a moment ago. This is the longest sentence that has ever come out of his mouth.
"Have we thought about humans so far?" Asked the man in black mane.
"No ... They really are very weak creatures, and don't even have any abilities," replied the man with the white mine reassuringly.
"Then how can that be? It's clear that this girl is only a human, but you even almost used up all your energy and it was like being forced?" Said the man in black mane, confused too.
"Not to mention ... It can only heal wounds without being able to regain consciousness?" he added again.
For a moment they were lost in thought.
.
.
.
"Your actions a few moments ago were completely beyond my expectations," said the man in black mane voice again.
"I don't know, I felt my body move on its own."
"...."didn't respond and instead turned to give a probing gaze to the man in front of him.
"Stop looking at me like that. Let's go back first, I need to recover"
"And this girl?" asked the man in black mane with one eyebrow raised.
"Trust me ...she will be fine, maybe tomorrow she will come back to his senses," he replied.
"All right," said the man in black mane who then grabbed one of the hands of the man who was standing in front of him and put it on one of his shoulders to help him support the body that had lost a lot of energy.
"What are you doing?" Said the man with the white mane in protest.
"Don't refuse! Do you intend to use the remaining energy in your body to fly? I was just thinking, maybe before you even reach the palace your body will immediately fall, dying from energy loss.
momo, I'm not ready to go through the day without you," returned the answer with a tone that was a little teasing.
"Cck ... then I'll be a little troublesome," replied the white mane who nodded back by the man in black mane.
The light shone into a pair of wings with jet black feathers. Slowly leaving a foothold on the earth, disappearing on the horizon leaving a girl who is still lying unconscious.
