I felt something warm shine on my eyelids, I groaned a morning grumble when I felt something big move around me. I fluttered my eyes open to see the morning sun high above the sky. I sheltered my eyes before I looked around to see myself wrapped around Demarcus as if he was protecting his child from danger.
I rubbed my puffed-up eyes to wake me up further. I must have cried myself to sleep last night and turned a little red. 'I cried my eyes out in front of Demarcus. How embarrassing' I hid my face in my hands.
So called for an assassin.
I stretched my arms up, feeling my muscles loosen and relax. I have to admit sleeping within Demarcus was very comfortable and warm, but I slept with my guard down and that's something I must never do again even if there is a mighty dragon beside me. I can't die just yet because of my stupidity of letting my guard down when sleeping.
Looking to see, Demarcus the golden Orga dragon slept soundly. His whole body rising up and down every time he breathed. It was soothing to listen to his soft breathing.
I didn't want to wake him up because he needed a lot of rest especially with that injured wing. Slowly and quietly, I made my way out from Demarcus' embrace and out in the small grassland where Alaric lived.
He was Toprakline wolf, an earth wolf that was bigger than the average wolf from my world. He was like stone that was covered in moss and small little flowers. That's what he looked like with his fur being the colour of a stone and his back covered in vegetation.
Toprakline wolves are smarter than regular wolves, faster and stronger with their jaws that could crush stones however they only attack if they feel threatened. If I was to approach it without killing intentions that they would leave me alone expecting me to leave them alone as well.
Yet he was one the most beautiful creatures I had ever laid eyes on.
'I wonder what time it is?' I scratched my head as I yawned. I could hear the birds chirping in the trees and the soft medallic sounds of the forest itself.
The surrounding was beautiful and the memories of Itami came rushing back to me. How he always told me he wanted to leave in a fantasy forest with me with a German Shepard named Tadeo. How I always laughed and told him that he needs to stop fantasising and get back to the mission. 'Why do I keep thinking of him? He was the one that ended it all not me' I looked down at my palm and felt a ting in my heart.
'Is it because my heart keep refusing that he betrayed me and there's more to this then I thought. So why, why did you kill me? Why did you betray me? was it all worth it in the end?'
When I get back, I will get my answer from him even if I have to force it out. I will get my answer, you'll see but right now my first priorities is to get back since there is no point of going further into something that isn't worth my time right now.
But before I do all that, I took a sniff of myself and nearly gagged. I smelt of sweat, dirt, blood and a horrible odour 'I need to take shower' I shivered in disgust, "No wonder I have been feeling weird these days. I haven't taken a bath or a shower in a week. How disgusting and unhygienic of me"
However where am I going to take shower without having something jump from behind and eat me. I crossed my hands and wrinkled my nose, going through my ideas.
"I should just go ask Elisaria and see what she says" I made up my mind, clicking the heels of my boot against the grass and walking to the direction of the cottage.
Suddenly I heard a faint ring of bells and stopped in my tracks, searching to the source of the sounds when I came face to face with a little fairy that was flying a few centimetres away from my face. At the second I had forgotten how to breath and stared directly at the small fairy that was staring back at me with those small eyes.
She was beautiful, long wavy light brown hair with a small light blue flower pinned behind her ear, olive skin, hazel eyes that stared back at me in curiosity small pointy ears that poked out from her hair. She wore a faded blue of all shades that seemed like it was made from petals of a flower and vines' wrapped around her feet and legs as shoes. Her wings attached to her back glittered under the rays of sun like glass, it looked so fragile as if it would shatter with a slight touch of my finger.
I stretched out my index finger to touch the beautiful creature in front of me. She did the same, reaching her hand out slowly and touching the tip of my finger. Her hand was small yet gentle and the feeling of warmth rushed through me.
There it was again a high-pitched ring of bells, that constantly ringed in my ears. It dawned to me that the rings of bells were coming from the fairy. She was trying to communicate to me, but I can't understand her.
I wish the gift I got from God was also useful for fairies other than just animals.
I could hear more rings of bells coming from all directions, I span around, and my eyes widened when I saw myself surrounded by dozens of fairies wearing different fades of colours that looked like they were just specks of flying colours in the air.
I stared in awe as I found myself in the middle of crowd of fairies that I wouldn't believe I was awake than dreaming. I felt something tug my finger, looking down I see a blond hair fairy pulling my finger.
"Is there something the matter?" I asked loosening my arm so it would be easier for her to pull. I heard the ringing of more bells and lifted my head up to see the same fairy as before waving her hand to follow. I titled my head in confusion. "You want me to follow you?"
I felt the tiny hands against my back the faint pushes of the fairies from behind made me want to chuckle at how funny this was. More of the fairies came to the help, each one pulling my fingers or trying to push me while some gestured their hands to follow them
"Alright I'll follow, I'll follow" I took a step and started to walk, following the fairies from behind. I could see their pixie dust falling down from their wings as they flew before it disappeared in the air. 'I wonder if they had some tree that they produced pixie dust just like in the movie tinker bell. I could probably sprinkle them on me and fly through neverland.... Nah I was only joking'
I strolled through the forest following behind the fairies when I heard faint sounds of a waterfall not far from here. 'Are they leading me to a waterfall?'
It wasn't long when I split the bush and my I came upon a small lake upon the slope stairs in front of me. It was surrounded by beautiful blossom like trees as water flowed gently down a stair like waterfall, the water itself was clear as crystal as the rays of sun danced upon the surface of the water creating a glittering effect to it. It was sight to behold, such beauty that it felt magical to see.
The fairies flew about, each one pointing their fingers towards the lake. I don't know if they are trying to lure me into a trap for a monster or just want me to follow with harmless intentions. The same blue dress fair circled around me before flying down and pulling my collar.
"Geez, you guys are some stubborn fairies, aren't you" I mumbled, crossing my hands, and raising an eyebrow.
I sighed and shuffled my oily hair. 'Maybe I could use this chance to take a bath. I have my senbon needles attached around my wrists and one of my Kunai knives around my thigh nothing is going to happen with my weapons around'
I walked up the uneven four stairs that was covered in vines and moss then stopping in front of the lake. Looking down at myself I saw Diana's reflection on the surface of the water like a mirror. My silver hair was messy and shiner due to it being oily, my skin was a little darker because of the dirt and I still looked half asleep.
I dipped my finger and shivered at the cool touch of the water. "I seriously need to bath or else I'm going to die from my own stench"
A black-haired fairy flew above me, and the ringing bells were higher pitched than others. She wore a purple faded petal dress, and her hair was tied into a high ponytail while her skin was like the colour of the snow.
She had something forming in her hands, something glittery but what caught me by surprise was that she flew across the water as rose petals appeared from thin air and fell down gracefully into the water.
I watched as more fairies followed on suit, each one magically pouring in petals of all sorts while some poured some sort of glitter that made the water's aroma smell like fresh roses. It was all over in a minute as they flew towards me gesturing me to go in.
But that was the problem. My wound was still healing, and I can't come in contact with water for a while even if Elisaria rubbed the burchwood healing ointment on it. It still hasn't recovered and needs more time.
I sighed plopping myself on the stair and pouting. 'How did I even get wounded when I was shielded but Demarcus? How come Homura is all fine and I'm not? Hmph, the snobby fox is also a luck fox'
I felt something small and warm touch my cheek and I glanced to the side to see the same light browned fairy from before and she was smiling warmly to me. I stared blankly towards her confused on what I was supposed to say or do.
The same high pitched bell ringing echoed through my ears. She was trying to tell me something, but I didn't understand what it was. 'God if you had given me the gift to understand animals why you couldn't give me the gift of understanding creatures other than animals as well. It would help me in this situation right now!' I wanted to fly up there and give God a piece of my mind.
I felt the tugs of other fairies who were pulling the back my white blouse indicating me to go in the water.
I sighed in frustration. "Sorry guys but I can't" I pulled the hem the top and revealed my wound that would definitely leave a horrible scar. The wound was stitched with a fine string that Elisaria sewed, it was still fresh red, but the brown ointment covered most of the colour.
Though I have ruined Diana's perfect skin with a horrible scar. Oh well not my problem it will be hers when she gets her body back......
That's only if she is able to take her body back when I leave, maybe she died in her sleep so God could replace her with me, and she is in hell or heaven now. I don't have clue on what will happen with Diana's body once I return back to my world and back in my own perfectly trained body, but I do hope she doesn't saves her from this cruel world.
