" Is he dead ? "
" Not yet. but his blood is almost dry.......... "
" No ! Wifeuuu, wifeuuu....... ! "
" Quick call the healer.... ! "
" Close the window first.... ! "
The noise and hurried footsteps made the innkeeper unable to rest in peace. But no one came out, feeling alert in their rooms.
In the morning Rey woke up. Rey felt her arms go a little numb. He looked to the right. It turned out that Xenia was sleeping tightly hugging her arm.
Uh..... Xenia ? Rey widened her eyes to convince her sight. Yeah, right. it's Xenia. Rey could not understand why Xenia was sleeping next to her.
He spread his eyes around. Asgar slept in a chair. Rey tried to remember things before. Yes, Rey remembered her head spinning heavily after burning the corpse of the big man. Thank goodness he still had time to take a small child out of his dimension. He believes Asgar has returned to his family. Rey smiled with relief. He closed his eyes because he was still sleepy.
When the sun had already appeared, Xenia woke up and cleaned herself up first. As he exited, it appeared Asgar was yawning while stretching his body. He went out to take a shower in his own room.
Xenia approached Rey and touched her forehead. Her cold hands woke Rey up. He opened his eyes and smiled at Xenia.
" How is the Princess..... ? " ask Xenia.
Rey did not reply but pulled Xenia to sit nearby.
" Why are you here ? Where's Zacko ? "
" Last night Zacko just drove me, he had to go back to base. How's Princess Rey doing ? "
" I'm fine. Why are you here ? "
" Asgar called me. He asked me to replace your clothes. Your dress is full of blood and stinks "
Rey looked towards his arms and chest.
" There's no scar on your body. I washed it last night" said Xenia.
" Oh. thanks "
Why are there 2 necklaces on your neck ? " ask Xenia.
" That's mine. Help Miss heal " replied the incoming Asgar.
" Oh, thank you Asgar" Rey said as she removed Asgar's necklace.
" No need to thank me, Miss. I have to do that to help anyone. Miss who taught me so "
Rey and Xenia smiled.
" I also want a healing necklace "pinta Xenia on Rey.
" Give your fire a little "Rey puts her hand on Xenia.
Xenia opened her palm. Soon, a small fire appears and gives it to Rey. Rey grasped it, then closed her eyes while reciting the spell. On the count of three Rey opened her hand. Looks like a necklace with a fire element.
" It will absorb the fire element around you. It can be used as an energy reserve and healing " explains Rey.
" Didn't it burn anyone else I helped ? " ask Xenia.
" No, it does absorb the element of fire, then turn it into energy and help with healing "
Xenia nodded.
" Miss hasn't eaten from yesterday" Asgar reminded.
" Yes, I'll take a shower first "
" I'm waiting in the living room "
" Yes "
Rey came out still wearing Xenia's gown.
" Daughter, we're disguised as men only "pinta Xenia.
Rey transforms herself and Xenia into a man. They're looking for Asgar.
Asgar chuckles to see the two of them become men. He immediately stood up to step together. They went into a big restaurant.
In the restaurant there were a few visitors. Most of them were traders and travelers. The visitors were amazed to see 3 handsome and dashing young men.
While the waitresses compete to offer a menu of food and drinks with a slightly flirtatious attitude. The restaurant cashier could only shake his head at that.
" Lordes.....
The restaurant provides a mushroom omelette breakfast, caramel sauce pancakes, bread pudding, cheese toast and beef. You want to order what ? "
" We also provide sweet wine, sweet tea, herbal tea ...... "
Xenia and Asgar glanced at Rey. Rey smiled.
" I want to pudding bread and drink warm chocolate" Rey said.
" I'm toast with cheese and cow" Asgar said
" Ehm........ "
" Sweet wine "
" Good gentlemen...please wait patiently, we will immediately prepare the order of the gentlemen "
After they left, the three let out a heavy sigh.
" Ouuhhh..... ! "
" I guess disguising myself as a man is no better than a woman "Xenia complained.
" He.he.he.he...he is more comfortable being a grandparent" Asgar said.
Rey and Xenia grimaced small.
Shortly the order arrived. The servants put down the food while stealing glances. Their attitude was not so great. Maybe the restaurant cashier has reprimanded him.
" Where are you going after this ? " ask Xenia.
" We will still deal with Odex in the Mazox forest" Asgar said
" What's wrong with him ? "
" It looks like he is trying to increase his strength in many ways. From abducting girls to children "Reported Rey
" Oh, last night there were 7 demons roaming the inn "
" Uhuk-uhuk "Asgar choked on his wine hearing that.
Rey's stunned.
" One demon managed to suck a female visitor. I didn't dare to help her because the Princess' condition couldn't be left out "
" Ng. I'm sorry "Rey feels guilty. Xenia patted the back of her hand.
" Daughter Rey is innocent. I just don't want to take any chances "
" I should have gone straight into the dimensional space yesterday to recuperate, but I didn't have time "
Xenia smiled.
" Could it be that the demons were Odex's subordinates ? "
" I don't know.... "
They were silent thinking. Suddenly Xenia sat up straight.
" What's up ? " ask Asgar.
" Zacko called me. I have to go back now. If you need help, call me ? "
" Yes, see you later" Rey and Asgar said.
Xenia disappeared immediately. This time Xenia was able to go home on her own because she knew the position of the headquarters. Rey codes Asgar to pay to the cashier. He's waiting outside.
Asgar. They walk leisurely through shops and markets. A half-run grandfather chased after Asgar.
" Young people......... Young kid.......... "
Asgar and Rey looked back. The granny smiled at Asgar.
" Young man...... Where is your beautiful friend ? "
" What's up, old man ? "
" Thank you for saving my two grandchildren. Please give my thanks to the beautiful lady "
" Of course old man. Don't let the kids out at night. The city is still not safe from the demons... "
" Where are you going ? "
" We. will visit our friend's house "
The old grandfather nodded. He opened his bag and gave 2 delicious sweet oranges.
" It's from my garden, it's so sweet "
" Thank you old man "
Asgar accepted. Rey returned an apple from her dimension. The grandfather was fascinated by its red color.
" Aah..... "
" Okay, we'll go first. See you, old man "
They wave each other's hands.
The old man saw the apple. He bit her slowly. Whoa......... It feels so different and refreshing. The old man's eyes twinkled. He walked home and ate an apple.
