章節 73: Medicine Man
The direction that the sisters were heading to surprised Zero. Could the medicine man be the same man Truen told him not to meet? It was too much of a coincidence but Zero couldn't ask the sisters. He was still secretly following them after all.
He learnt that the snow-haired older sister was called Kayla. Zero felt that it was unfair for the girls to be punished for their mother's mistake. Their mother had died and the village chief was cruel on these girls. If this medicine man was truly such a scary person, asking the sisters to look for him is the same as sending them to their deaths like their mother. It made Zero slightly angry when he thought about it. However, he knew that the sisters were strong. Regardless, Mii had forbidden him from interfering with the Moontaur Tribe's matters. After all, that species wasn't very known for their generosity.
The sisters travelled fast. Zero had to teleport to keep up. Then again, it was difficult to travel in the trees. He soon got tired and rested for a while. Once the sisters were out of sight, Zero took out the whistle that Hades and Zeus gifted him. It would be the first time summoning Pegasus and he wasn't sure if Pegasus could follow the sisters while keeping him out of their sight. Zero decided to give it a try anyway. Pegasus was a smart horse, surely he could figure out something that Zero couldn't.
A few seconds after the whistle was blown, a magical portal opened beside Zero and a beautiful horse stepped out. Pegasus was as lovely as Zero remembered. He had a beautiful silver mane and turquoise wings. Its eyes were the same shade as its wings and the horse nuzzled Zero's cheeks, tickling the child. Although the celestial horse couldn't speak, it could communicate telepathically.
As such, Pegasus immediately understood what Zero wanted. It if were any other horses, they might not be able to travel stealthily. However, Pegasus knew some magic. After Zero was safely on his back, the horse galloped into the sky and cast a spell of silence around them. This way, they were able to tail the sisters without getting spotted.
It was early in the morning about five when the girls reached the medicine man's house, tired and out of breath. Zero wasn't too surprised to know that the medicine man was the same stranger Truen didn't want him to meet. If the village chief was telling the truth, Zero would have to apologise to Truen for behaving so mean to the elf who only wanted to protect him. The moontaur sisters were going to be the evidence Zero needed to know if the old man in the tiny house was a good or bad person.
The old man must still be asleep because when the sisters knocked on the door, nobody answered. The house was dark and everything was quiet.
Left with no choice, the sisters decided to sit outside the house to wait for the old man to come out of his house. Zero thanked Pegasus and dismissed him. He sat on the tree, awaiting the first rays of sun and anxious to know what will happen next.
