Sephira was taken aback when she finally saw who attacked her.
She had never seen such a handsome face like him.
She heard tales of high ranking Encantos who stand dominant from other beings but never had she imagine she'd encounter one.
He stood in front of her looking like a Queen's knight. He wears a suit-like sparkling-white colored cloth.
"Leave,or for ever wander in the forest",the Encanto spoke as he flicked his fingers and the roots that once used to harm her animatedly moved and forced her to stand up.
"I'm not leaving until I get what I came here for!",Sephira repudiate firmly looking straight into his eyes.
"Then you leave me no choice stubborn human!",the Encanto mumbled as he briskly pull a sword from his side and point it to her neck without hesitation.
Sephira's body instantly become numb. One thing is for sure,this fine looking Encanto is more dangerous than a hugger-mugger.
"Ticktack... ticktack... ticktack...the mighty Encanto is about to attack!", out of the blue a high pitched voice interrupted the Encanto making him withdraw his sword and face the intruder.
"Tsk! blabbermouth hugger-mugger!", the Encanto hastily diverted his sword to the hugger-mugger's face. The hugger-mugger painted a wide smile on its lips in return not bothering at all.
Meanwhile, Sephira took it as a chance to escape.She took advantage of the situation and flee. She hurriedly run enduring the pain.
When she was sure she had distanced herself enough from the Encanto,she hide behind the big tree to rest.
As she was about to close her eyes,she heard voices. Arguing.
She instantly turn her head,looking around-that's when she realized she was actually hiding behind the mysterious Sacred Fire Tree!
She leaned on the tree supporting her weight forming a plan in her head on how she could escape from more dangerous situation she's into. Unintentionally, she saw a hand-carved image on the tree trunk in front of her. Out of curiosity she decided to examine the image a little closer to make sure her eyes were not fooling her,that it really is what she thinks it is.
"Intruder!", a shout made her panic that her hand slip straight to the hand-carved image. Her hand fits perfectly in the carving that it's as if it was made for her.
As fast as lightning, the Fire tree's green leaves burst into flame and its roots start moving. A path that once not there suddenly immerge in front of her...and then everything went dark.
Before her consciousness escape from her,Sephira heard the joyous celebration of the mystical beings of all kinds who were gathered in that same Sacred Fire Tree she's hiding.
"The portal is finally open!,we can return to Mirador!!"
MIRADOR, what's in there that made all these once bustling creatures become so excited?
