DESTINY GIRL

92. Cronos Wolf

A gray-white wolf approached leisurely. He doesn't look aggressive. His eyes looked hard at Rey. At a distance of 10 steps, the wolf stopped and sat quietly. Asgar remains on standby. After all, fighting wolves requires speed and ingenuity. Fortunately Asgar already had the magic element, at least it helped him fight.

The wolf looked at Rey for a long time. He did not care at all for Asgar who was on standby. It seems that he had no intention of attacking.

Rey who was waiting finally realized that this wolf had other intentions. He advanced by holding on to Asgar's arm.

" Ehm..... Is there anything you want to talk to me about ? " asked Rey a little funny because she wasn't sure the wolf could talk.

The wolf raised both hands and lowered its head. Then out of his hand came a small ball of bluish-colored light. The ball drifted slowly towards Rey. Rey reached out to receive it.

He looked carefully as if there was a picture inside. It was a time ball. Rey exerted her power to enlarge the sphere to the size of a divination ball. It appears in a recording of past events. A girl in bridal clothes was facing off against a man in white robes. The man reached out his hand touching the girl's cheek, but his hand was instantly smoky as it burned. Then try again and stay that way. The man angrily took out a knife and pierced the bride's heart. The bride clasped the man's hand tightly while saying something. The man's hands smoky black and began to decompose until his entire body was wiped out. Then the black smoke disappeared. An old man tried to help the bride. However a bluish-white light shot out from the girl's body and shot away.

Rey was stunned to see those memories. He knows who he was before. Rey Solana (Daughter of Light). The man in white was Destraco, disguised as his girlfriend Astraco. He curses Destraco before his body breaks into light.

Rey returns the ball back then to the wolf.

" It's good to see Princess Rey again "it sounds like the wind but it's clear in Rey and Asgar's ears.

" Who are you ? " ask Rey.

" The Servant is just one of the Cronos Wolves. We've been hereditary guarding the Cronos family. It's just that Princess Cronos at the time forbade servants from following her "

" O..... What's your name ? "

" Zigaz, Princess "

" Uhm.. don't call me "Daughter", Rey said.

Zigaz did not react.

Asgar scratched his head.

" How about you call her "Miss "suggestion Asgar.

" Isn't that against the rules ? " ask Zigaz.

" Let's go then "Reported Rey pouting.

Zigaz sighed "Hhmmm...... "

Asgar chuckled without a sound.

They walk deeper. Rey saw the trees start to close. He thought for a moment, if he fought in the forest like this he would have difficulty.

" What's wrong Miss ? " ask Asgar.

" Anu. Wouldn't our movement be limited ? " answer Rey.

" You can fight in the air, Miss "said Zigaz.

Rey and Asgar looked at it with their mouths open.

" Of course he doesn't want to. Maybe he will defend and attack from the bottom only. His weakness is light. But the advantage is that it can control a person's mind. Only the strong-hearted survive. Be careful when you look into her eyes "

Rey fell silent.

" We can cut down some trees to make a large field ? The wood can be used to make a house" Asgar said.

" Bab.... !! you're right Asgar, you're smart "Rey was too eager to hit Asgar's shoulder until Asgar staggered a little.

Zigaz shook his head. (These two youngsters are really.) bathin Zigaz.

They entered the forest without fear. There are no animals in this forest. The presence of Destraco makes forest dwellers flee elsewhere.

Rey tells Asgar to cut the tree using the wind element. Zigaz kicks the tree down the other direction so as not to hit Rey or Asgar. Rey herself helped move the fall of the tree to the edge.

After creating the field. Rey chose a few branches to serve as torches. Zigaz set his front foot so that a hole was created to plug the torch pole. Rey gave fire to each torch.

Then they sat on a large, knee-high piece of wood (Asgar cut it). Rey took out 2 pies given by grandma and grilled venison left over for the trip in Zebbel village.

They ate leisurely while waiting for Destraco. They behave like travelers. After eating, Zigaz stood up doing a stretching motion. Then he turned into a half-old man. Rey and Asgar are stunned.

" Beware..... He approached "he said slowly. Rey stared at Asgar, then Zigaz.

" Hear me Zigaz. Let me fight against him. You have to protect Asgar. Asgar will attempt to decipher Destraco's body. Asgar, do it only at the last moment, easier. I want to play first "

" But Miss....... " Zigaz refused.

" Trust me, protect Asgar. I'm gonna make you invisible "

Zigaz nodded and took a breath. His job is to protect the Cronos Family. But instead, he told her to take care of others. He looked at Asgar strangely. Asgar just smirked funny.

Rey casts an invisible spell and waves her hands at Asgar and Zigaz.

" Don't make any noise" whispered Rey.

There was a sound of growling approaching. Yes, Destraco was angry to see a torch in the middle of the forest. He had just returned from the other side of the forest, killing one of the loggers of the neighboring village of Denvil. Now the power is back 90%.

He saw a woman sitting on her back on a short block of wood. He did not feel any aura from this woman. But his robe glittered in the light of fire because around him many torch poles. He grins. For him the fire could not hurt him. He dodged the fire and managed to get inside.

Rey's goal was to power the torch to supply the light energy she needed to fight. That way, he doesn't worry about running out of energy.

Destraco circled Rey wanting to know her face. However he was stunned staring at the face that was shrouded in full light. He sizzled while retreating.

" The Girl of Destiny "

Rey remained silent as if she did not care. He secretly cast a light spell to confine it around the place. A layer of invisible light. Destraco won't be able to get out. If he was reckless, then his body would be completely destroyed.

Destraco doesn't know about that coating. He only saw Rey who was sitting still from earlier. Destraco cannot read minds without looking at the eyes of the person concerned. Rey knows that. He wants to play with Destraco.

Rey closed her eyes. He uses the eyes. After that the light on his face dimmed, only one light remained on his forehead. His mouth smiled beautifully.
