Heading into the forest I spot the two wagons of ours with a couple of the villagers alongside Abbi. I didn't really want to disturb their conversation so would just wave towards them and keep looking, but she was nowhere near the wagons. As I look up towards the high trees above I see the sunlight shining through all the leaves, which gave me an idea just maybe she was up in the trees above as she was back in Fur-ru village before we left. As I walking a few feet away I would hear something falling from a tree. It looked almost like a orange as it landed upon the ground just a bit bigger than orange. Gazing up towards the tree I would spot her upon a ledge with a handful of the things. her clear blue eyes turn my way as she spots me underneath the trees. Something about her was just so unsettling and I doubt I would ever get use to it as I watched he tear into those orange things with her fangs and its juices began running down. It almost reminded me of a vampire...
"MUHAHAH you there I'm getting quite the hunger" (Kyanite)
"No please I don't taste good" as would begin biting into my neck draining my body's blood.
As I shake off the daydream I look back up towards her, as she began to look very annoyed by me doing so.
"What you got a problem or something stop starring at me it's weird" shouts Kyanite as tries to eat her food. Yup, I should have never came to check on this girl with serious anger problems, straight rude. I would quickly turn around and begin to head back had no time to deal with someone like that, maybe it's a reason they weren't welcome in Jarel.
"POW" One of the orange fruits hits me in my back, I thought I was gonna die as that could have been anything attacking me.
"Not sure if you were trying to get ones Yum-Yum fruits but I don't mind sharing, next time just asks instead of starring it's weird" explained Kyanite as she went back to eating in peace.
Heading back In town I return and take a seat beside Felix as I held the fruit inside my hands. Felix wouldn't even look my way but from the look on his face, he could tell I found her.
"Eat its full of great taste, it can be bitter at times though" explained Felix
Mean While
[Outside Jarel Kingdom Palace]
on the outskirts of the palace, a soldier would arrive on foot, as he falls to his knees beside a tree. Tired and out of breath he is haunted from seeing their men slaughtered leave him no choice but to run away in fear for his life. As two of knights would happen to be riding buy on their horses they would come upon him.
"I need to speak with King Mallus, there's been a slaughter", Inside the sat King Mallus already furious as he runs his hand through his brown hair. As his quarter doors are sent opening while interrupting his current meeting with his generals.
"My lord, my lord something terrible has happened.
"What is the meaning of this, can't you see that I'm busy" explained Mallus as he rose up slowly from his throne, quickly punching the nearest knight beside him to let out his frustration.
"Speak quickly, I'm very busy" demanded Mallus as he began looking for the next knight to strike. As Mallus was informed about Kemonomimi race being so close and being captured in upon his lands he would begin to feel even angrier but nothing set him off more upon hearing that all his men had been slaughter by just one of them.
"Filthy savages upon my lands, and killing men soldiers" he would say softly began he began to laugh out loud taking his heroic pose in the center of the room. As the entire room would begin to focus their attention towards him as they all knew it was one thing the king hated more hated than the other kingdoms, the hybrid race of Kemonomimi.
"The gods have put me in charge for a reason to eliminate that monstrous race that walks on this planet" he shouts as presents to terrifying laughter. The scared knight would then proceeded to describe everything he saw and the mysterious wolf girl. As the palace has now learned of the situation they would now be ready to stop to ensure their capture and termination as Mallus couldn't wait to get his hands upon them as the true power he possesses as ruler of Jarel kingdom. Turning away from the knight who returned with the information, Mallus truly wanted to strike him down however he would decide to let him live and return he should be the one to retrieve them all for him.
"Y... Yes, your majesty" answers the knight as he bows his head towards Mallus as blue sparks quickly flash around Mallus's hand as he balls into a fist.
"Good now go and radio to all of our outpost we mustn't let them get too far" Mallus would reply as he heads back to sit on the throne with a smile on his face.
While back at Eastmoor Town, Felix and I would begin to decide to see what all the town had to offer us for today as it's just no way I could survive off of eating fruits. As we prepared to head into town, we spot Kyanite wearing a sheet of clothing over her head covering her ears as if she were a native from another county.
"What!" she would ask as we looked upon her covering herself like that and taking a big risk coming this close in to town. She would begin by explaining that when she would go on trades with her father they would wear something similar to this wrapped around their heads to cover their anamorphic parts and in her case was her head. It wasn't really too bad to honest it was almost as if it were a brown cloak. However, her crystal blue eyes and fangs were still visible but overall I guess the disguise would work for now. The three of us would head into town and begin looking for something to eat as we all could begin to hear our stomachs rumbling. As we search it would seem that everywhere would be packed for the moment but then again as Felix explained to me that this town is the intersection between a couple of villages so it's no wonder it's busy. Since everything was packed we would have to wait to eat, suddenly I begin to hear a voice.
"Come receive your fortune and discover the truth into the unknown!!" shouted an Elder nearby us. I wasn't sure what it was but I had the strangest feeling that I needed to go there, so following my instincts I decided to walk over towards her shop. Felix would then proceed to grab me on my shoulder, "Careful you never trust witches, you'll quickly find yourself into more trouble". Stopping in my tracks I would decide to listen to Felix's advice as trouble is not what I was looking for at the moment.
"You young man, I can tell you are seeking the truth" she would shout as she pointed towards me.
"NO! I'm good I'm not seeking anything" I would reply as I turned away.
"You lie, there's something odd happening to you that you can't explain" she would shout.
"No not at all I'm just enjoying my day going along is all" I would reply to her as I see her taking a seat back into her chair as her crystal ball sat up on her counter. It was at this moment I would begin to question just what if she knew how I got here and how could I return to my own world... So even despite what Felix had told me, I had to know for sure so I would decide to go and check to be sure. Arriving at the witch's stand, I would suddenly hear Kyanite behind me.
" So ye changed ye mind ye did come this way" she would say to me as she rose her chair heading to the back of her stand that's connected to a tent. I would close my eyes and take a deep breath before deciding to follow her into the tent. Inside I would spot a younger woman with blond hair resting on the left side of the room dressed in similar clothing.
"Come, come " the elder witch would tell me, as Kyanite stood close by and watched out of curiosity. As I sit as instructed in the wooden chair by the wine fabric table as she places her glass ball upon it. With a small chuckle, she takes her seat across from me on the opposite side of the table and begins to reach out for my hands.
"Will this hurt?" I would ask
The witch would just look at me and laugh a bit before replying, " Of course not my dear child".
Finally taking my hands she would begin closing her and began saying an enchantment. As I watched her continue her enchantment the crystal ball would suddenly begin to catch my eye as it would begin to look as if a thunderstorm were inside of it. As she continued the storm would soon explode into images of everything I had seen in my life.
"My, my what is this, may this be a different world?" she questions as everyone saw all of the sites from my time living on the Paradise islands. They couldn't believe what they were seeing it was truly revolutionary to their eyes. Suddenly as the crystal ball would turn red they began to see everything that has lead up to this point including that the woman behind me was a kemonmimi. It was what was beyond that point that truly shocked her seeing brief images of Mallus and his army.
CRRRACCKK, the crystal ball would gain a large crack in it causing the session to come to an end. The young girl on the couch would awaken in confusion as to what was going on.
"Maple my dear right on time, it would appear it is time for us to leave this town" explained the elderly witch. As I looked around I didn't quite understand what just happened or what did that even mean.
"Do you know how I can return back home to my own world?" I would ask nervously. Carefully releasing my hand she would tell me "I'm afraid not, but take heed to this warning. You mustn't stay in this town tonight they are coming for you all".
"They meaning who?" I asked... However, she wouldn't say as she would tell Maple to begin packing their things as she escorted us out of the tent.
"Well that was something don't you think, that's why they say you can't trust witches, she really believes you're from another world" Kyanite would mock as she walked off to join back up with Felix holding our places at the nearby food stand. I am from another world and that's true but she saw something in that crystal ball, something that has her on edge. Whatever i may have been I do not plan on finding out, she said for us not to stay here tonight so that's exactly what we're not gonna do. I'd rush over to Felix and Kyanite to try and get Felix and everyone else moving again.
"So you went there anyways, well come on it's almost our turn to eat" Felix would tell me as I arrive at the stand.
"Is it possible we're gonna stay the night here?" I would ask him.
"Well yes, it would seem some of the villagers were rather tired from pulling the wagons and would rather take a good night's rest here he explained before I quickly cut him off.
"We mustn't stay here!" I say. Felix would then proceed to question why I would say that, but also explaining to me that since Xander was no longer her he was in charge and he was going to do whatever was best for his people at this moment. Felix was no interested in taking advice from the deceiving witches as that's all witches are good for he would say and that was the end of the discussion. As I sat at the stand I had just realized I had no money to buy myself something to eat.
"Could this day get any worse?" I would ask myself looking back towards the skies as I see the start of the sunset...
