Spelling Distance And Limitations

Episode 14 of Maze Zeolinicia

“Is the preparation done?” Ares asked Felicia who was tidying things up in a backpack.

“Already,” Felicia replied to Ares.

“Are you sure you'll make this trip? Isn't this too dangerous for

your life? You're still too small, Felicia. In addition, this trip will be

a very long journey.

I've read that The Labyrinth of Zelinekia has a long maze. According to people who have been in and out, as well as history books, the Zelinekia labyrinth has seven layers of mazes with different patterns. I thought it was too complicated for the size of a maze,” Ares said explaining what he knew.

“I'm so sure of this wish that I want to meet the sacred secret of Deolinikia and save my parents Ares,” Felicia smiled.

“I will go any length of the way for a speck of truth. I'd love to

to make this journey. Queen Ajanta himself has given me this clue. I don't think there's any reason I'm here anymore.

Two months is enough for me to recover the warmth of the family. And now, it's time for me to wander around and find what I want and hope for,” Felicia told Ares.

Ares was happy to see the carefree Felicia. Felicia looks more mature than she is still very small. Felicia can really be an independent and strong person. He's like his father.

“I hope you guys will be fine. Ares please take good care of Felicia. Felicia is the only family you have,” Queen Ajanta told Felicia and Ares.

The palace gate has been opened. The soldier saluted the Queen. Sunshine

the morning was warm, as warm as the smile of Queen Ajanta. Felicia refused to be carried by Ares because she also wanted to feel this journey.

So, Felicia asked Ares for permission to allow her to walk for several kilometers. Because it will also reduce the burden of Ares.

“This, ancient map of this continent. All of Deolinicia and the Kingdom of Zelinekia, as well as other parts. Hopefully help. Some may have been blurry and dusty unreadable. However, I am sure this will be beneficial in your journey,” Queen Ajanta told Felicia and Ares.

“Thank you Queen Ajanta,” Felicia said to Queen Ajanta.

“Goodbye,” Queen Ajanta said with a smile

Felicia and Ares began the journey on foot. In the first kilometer, the,

they passed through the city around the palace. This was their first time coming out of the main city of the kingdom. In the small towns around the palace, the residents as in general. As in the cities of Deolinicia.

What distinguishes, here everyone seems prosperous and happy. Seen from their beaming faces. There was no riot, everything was going peacefully. Security is also guaranteed with the presence of royal soldiers who are patrolling.

No, not only that. These soldiers were friendly and willing to help the merchants

for example, lifting merchandise, delivering goods, and tidying up shops, and helping the people around him who need help. It's like the world

everyone's dream. Peacefulness.

They walked far enough. Probably about twenty kilometers from the kingdom.

Felicia was tired and the sun started to rise. Finally in the afternoon

that heat, Felicia and Ares rested and took shelter under a large tree.

Felicia observed the circumstances around her. The Indian grass started to look and started to close,

trees are also rare. This means that soon they will arrive in a meadow.

Felicia opened her backpack and plucked a cake that she had stocked. The breeze blew the child's hair on Felicia's forehead. The atmosphere of the meadow with the strong passing wind began to feel.

After eating, Felicia climbed onto Ares' back. He was tired of walking. For an hour they rested. Open the map and point at the western part of the continent. Yes, where that place is the Zelinekia labyrinth. This time they would run across such a vast prairie.

Inside the sling, Felicia opened the map again. With such a distance

he had already met a vast prairie, he had thought that he would arrive at the next place by tomorrow.

There were about ten different places whose marks were clear and readable on the map. After a vast grassland, there would be a desert without trees.

Inside the wheel Felicia fell asleep after folding the map back.

Felicia woke up in the twilight. He rubbed both of his eyes expelling the rest of the drowsiness. Saw it around. He's on the edge of an oasis. It was seen in the presence of coconut trees and a stretch of lake in the middle of the sand.

He was already in the desert. Ares looks like he's making a bonfire. Then, on top of a coconut tree trunk that is made like a table, there are some fish that are skewered using twigs.

“Ares,” Call Felicia to Ares. Both Felicia's eyeballs traced the entire passage

the place is looking for Ares.

“Wah, so you're awake. You know, we're halfway through this desert. Coincidentally due to my sophistication, I was able to detect the existence of this oasis. I also caught fish and you can burn it here,” said Ares smiling as he showed a brightly lit bonfire.

Felicia nodded and started grilling the fish over the fire. Ares sat on top

fallen coconut trunks. After the fish was cooked, Felicia ate it.

“Felicia, I think there's a closer path for us to get to the Zelinekia Labyrinth early. Two days, through the wilderness. What say?” Ares asked Felicia.

“I think that's a great idea. Which part of the forest is it?” Ask Felicia.

“About ten kilometers to the West from here,” Ares replied.

“Then we pass there only,” Said Felicia approving.

“Alright, then go to sleep. It's night,” Says Ares.

Felicia nodded, but she still wanted to wake up staring at the starry series scattered in the galaxy. The constellations are so bright tonight. The Pleiades star is very bright. Felicia's heart that already has a sense of sincerity.

An hour Felicia's still holding on.

Ares wakes up and hugs Felicia.

“Felicia darling, it's night. It's enough, let's go to sleep,” Whisper Ares in small ears

Felicia.

sore. He must be strong and firm. Everything that happens is destiny. There are still many challenges and other things waiting ahead. Was he able to accept all of that fate with sincerity?

****

The next morning Felicia filled her bottle at the oasis. Put some leftover fish last night into a backpack for supplies on the road later.

“Let's go to Ares,” said Felicia excitedly.

Felicia climbed into Ares's sling and started walking.

“Why don't we run?” Felicia asked in surprise as Ares simply walked over while carrying her.

“If we run on the sand, we just waste energy. Just like running

in water,” Clear Ares to Felicia.

“So so. I'll read the map,” Felicia started unrolling the map.

The forest is so thick. On the edge of the forest there is no clear boundary between the desert and the forest. At first Felicia only thought that it might be erased due to the age of the map. However, when viewed carefully again, the border of the desert and forest line is bumpy.

Felicia remembers what Nero taught her. About wave. If within

whatever looks like a wave, there is a state in which there is a drastic change. It's like blending two poles together and each other

refuse reject.

“Ares, we have to be careful when we get to the border of forest and desert. There might be something hidden there. I can't clearly see the limit on the map,” Felicia told Ares.

“OK, Felicia. I see,” Ares thinks everything is possible there.

Ares started walking towards the forest to shorten the journey towards the Labyrinth

Zelinek.

****

“Felicia, how? Is there something strange you think is here?” Ares asked as he observed the surrounding situation. Several times squatting and observing the sand at the edge of the forest.

Now they are on the edge of the forest, precisely on the border of the forest and desert. It's a lonely atmosphere. Not a single animal passed by. The forest in front of them was not

like the forest in general, which is crowded with animals and insects.

“Ares try to take the stones and throw them to the border of the desert,” said Felicia who slightly estimated there was an invisible trap.

Felicia picked up the stones around her and started throwing them one by one.

"Ares may be the bigger one," Felicia asks Ares to throw a bigger rock.

Ares waited for the reaction of the surrounding sand and air for a few seconds. And true

only the sand on the border slowly rotated to form a vortex until the stone was submerged in the sand. Sand suction. Deadly desert trap.

Ares grew excited and pelted the border line with stones. There are some

safe parts to pass. They finally survived and were able to enter

in forest.

“Felicia, thank you yes,” Said Ares.

“I just guessed because the picture on the map is not so clear. What matters is that we survived

and don't get stuck in that quicksand,” Felicia told Ares.

Felicia thinks that now she can finally be of use to Ares.

Felicia learned a lot.

“Then what about this forest do you think Felicia?” Ask Ares.

“This forest will become very dense as we get deeper. There's no evidence

or explanation of wild animals that roam,” explained Felicia.

“Means safe?” Ask Ares.

“But we have to be careful,” Said Felicia giving advice.

Ares began to run around shrubs and thorny bushes. The deeper he explored the forest, the more dense and dark it became. Ares to the point of turning on the magic lamp Nero gave for lighting. But Ares kept running.

Long time in the dark and dense forest. There are no wild animals and

there are no insects. There were only gray birds in the branches of the trees. The bird was so numerous and looked like a ghost. Not moving and not making any sound.

“Felicia, we should have gotten out of this forest. Why are we still here?” Ask

Ares is tired. Hours of running always come back to the same place.

“You are right, this is strange, we return to the same place several times,” Felicia too

check the compass he was carrying.

Felicia stood exhausted beside Ares. The compass is spinning no crap. Each

the times Ares changed direction, the compass also changed direction.

“Compass error, unreliable in this forest Ares,” Felicia confused.

"Maybe the magnetic field here is too big" Ares added.

For a moment they stopped and thought. Minutes passed quickly and Ares got the idea.

“Why don't you try Nero's way?” Ares asked Felicia.
