Being Strong On Your Own

Chapter 19: Meeting the Witch

The next day Grey and Anabeth stand in front of the house to begin their journey.

"Sorry Anabeth forced you to come out."

He shook his head and then continued.

"I'd rather force myself to leave than be left alone here, without you the house would be much quieter."

"It's not that your words sound very deep."

"Don't joke when I'm talking seriously."

"Sorry, sorry, let's go."

"Yes." Yeah."

Anabeth wrapped herself in a hooded coat before following Grey from behind. They stopped several times to rest and climbed back up. From the top of the mountain they could see how the scenery from the green trees and rivers looked dazzling.

"Whoa, it's beautiful."

"Yep."

Since the number of humans reduced green land is increasing, but still it is not something good if in the end humans become extinct.

"So Grey actually where are we going? We have crossed the border of Neira kingdom.

"One day I once spoke with a merchant, he said far beyond our kingdom precisely under the precipitous abyss there was a magician who possessed a wide range of knowledge in this world, I'm sure if we meet him we can ask him something about the waves.I think we should just go west."

"Maybe it's just a rumor."

"No problem, at least I want to prove it, other than our kingdom there are no more humans living outside the borders but I am sure that there are many people still living there, he said, how long has it been since our kingdom remained in this world?"

Anabeth finally understood what Grey wanted to say.

What if there were actually other humans who were both fighting against the Undead King? Perhaps they had better knowledge to survive the onslaught of the Undead or the waves.

They went back on their way, occasionally having to fight beasts, rain and even ending up without moving a single bit.

After a few days, they finally arrived at a stone mountain that was divided into two parts, between the two was an empty road which as they continued to comb there was a large lake at the end while in the middle was a small island with a simple house standing on it.

"So this is the place."

"We need to get across, let me, please" Anabeth put up the bat wings on her back and took Grey to fly and land in front of the house.

When he knocked on the door there was no reply from inside.

"What a person is not there" Anabeth said as she tried to peek through the window.

"I think the guy's out."

"Is there anything I can do for you two?" hearing the voice that suddenly appeared, the two turned around and looked for the origin of the sound.

"Did I hear wrong?"

"No, I also heard a voice just now" Grey replied.

Before long a person jumps from the water, rather than someone better referred to as a mermaid where he has fin legs while the top is human.

Having wavy blonde hair, Anabeth hurriedly covered Grey's face.

"Don't look at Grey he's naked."

"Ara, I must have left it at the base again, soon I'll be back again."

The mermaid went back in and out in a bra and shorts, different from before she now had legs and her entire appearance had completely turned into a human.

"My name is Arina, I'm the only witch here" she kindly introduced herself.
