章 33: Archanist

"Um, I don't know either. You'll have to ask Grandpa. But if I had to guess, we were going to Arkala Village," Leon hesitated. "We've travelled here before, and once we rested in Arkala Village."

"Arkala Village, is that the village your grandfather was talking about? Is it true? About the legend your grandfather told us?" Takeuchi asked, still curious about the gigantic forest.

Leon took a sip from his glass and then said. "I told you before, we've already been to Arkala Village, I didn't hear much, but there was a rumour going around the village then. The rumour was that one of them got lost in Arkala Forest and didn't return. We don't pay much attention to that, so we don't know if the villager who went there is still alive or not. But later, I heard he didn't come back."

"There have always been accidents in the forest, so it wasn't that surprising," Takeuchi said, trying to rebuke the rumours even though he could guess what had happened there.
