The days ahead are still raining. Almost all day. When the rainy night is worse, add to the cold in winter. This morning seems to be bright. Theia opened the window of her house. As usual sipping tea and daydreaming. Thinking things. After her tea glass ran out Theia got up, she opened the door with one of her hands carrying her laundry which was not getting enough sunlight. The wind sounds a little noisy. The winter was really terrible in Leinan, because the northern end of the region here was much colder than where he had lived before. Fortunately, Theia survived well.
Theia was pensive again at the table by the window. He stared at the laundry he had been hanging, fluttering in the wind. Suddenly his eyes caught a tall figure standing at the end of the path. His body was tall, well-built and wearing a knight uniform. Theia's heart was racing and she immediately closed the window of her house. He pressed his screams with both hands. Theia looked at that figure, a man at the other end. The man was one of the soldiers who had once blocked him from approaching Arei. Theia's body instantly shook. Mind empty.
“They found me.” Theia muttered that immediately rose towards her bedroom and immediately locked her tightly. He peeked at the slight gap in the wall of his house made of wood, the man was still there, staring at his house. Then for a moment he disappeared as fast as lightning. Theia was plagued with a great fear.
Theia immediately packed up her precious things. Waiting for the dark day then she sneaks out through the back door of her house. The night does not rain and the moonlight helps it as illumination. He walked until he entered the forest. Theia did not expect that she would use the escape route she had prepared beforehand. The route leads into the forest. The forest became the secret doorway of the two empires. Theia had heard of it from Amadas traders in the market. This route is not widely used because only certain people know. This time Theia's destination was Amadas, if there were no obstruction tomorrow morning she would reach the border of Amadas. The safest route and without the risk of interference from wild animals or other. Theia tightened the cloth covering her then continued walking forward. If you want to stay alive, this is the only way.
Half the way Theia stopped. He could no longer continue. Theia rested on the trunk of a large tree that had fallen. There is no fear, only persistence. The desire for Theia's life was huge, she wanted to give birth to her child and raise him. Sneaking into Amadas is his insurance. At least there the authority of Duke Osbern even Bylona could not reach him. Theia closed her eyes for a while then muttered.
“I just want to live quietly.”
Theia wiped her sweat. His body rested on the trunk of the fallen tree. His body was tired and his lower abdomen was slightly tight and aching. His hand stroked his stomach slowly which was slightly round but not yet large. I hope it can ease it a little. However, he has worked hard to walk without rest in order to reach the borders of Amadas. Theia inhaled a deep breath then exhaled it. The pain subsided a little, Theia drank some water then walked back. But just a few steps he walked, the sound of a twig being stepped on was heard. Theia immediately turned her head but it was dark behind her and there was no one.
Theia felt de javu, during the trip she heard several times such a sound. He thought it was his footsteps. But at this time he stepped on a rock and not a twig or foliage. Theia's body trembled, she realized that someone was following her. He wanted to run but it was impossible. The terrain is steep and the rocks, it definitely endangers the content.
With a trembling body Theia picked up the stone underneath then threw it in all directions. Couple times. The first to the right side is empty, then to the front blank. Only the sound of a rock hitting the ground, then the last Theia threw a new direction left, no sound, silence. The throw was like being caught. Theia collapsed, she again picked up the stone and shouted.
“Who are you? Whatdoyouwant? Show yourself?”
Silence has no voice. “Don't bother me. Go!” Shouted Theia in despair. Theia immediately got up then ran as hard as she could. Someone followed him. He had to get to the Amadas border soon to be safe. But the field does not support it. The difficulty of the precipitous rock he had to pass through hindered his steps.
Theia was not unyielding, she kept moving on escaping. As the moonlight managed to pierce through the darkness of the titan as there were not many trees growing Theia could see two shadows following her. Theia continued straight forward until the darkness again enveloped her. This moment Theia used to hide. He tightly closed his mouth with both hands, his back stuck to a large tree whose trunk could hide a human body. It was only dark that he could see. Theia held back her sobs. His lower abdomen is back in pain. One of his hands held tightly to his stomach. It hurts, it hurts so much. A groan of pain escaped his lips. Theia couldn't hold it anymore. So hurt.
“You okay?” A voice shocked Theia. Inside the darkness Theia could see a figure approaching her.
“Do not approach me, go!” Theia's body inched, she already had no power to run. Now not just his stomach but his whole body is in pain. The figure was getting closer and Theia could see him in the darkness.
“I beg. Go.” Theia could only plead and plead by enduring her pain. Her tears are spilling. The eyelids with their long fur are wet with tears. Theia begged once again in a weak voice. “Please let go of me.” Suddenly everything went dark and Theia fainted.
The originally dark forest is now bright. A company of troops was massively mobilized. They immediately lit a torch and combed the surrounding area. All of them were men except for one person who was lying on the ground with a thick blanket covering his entire body. Only the head and tip of the shoe are visible.
"Your Majesty the Duke will be here soon, how is the situation?" One of those who appeared to be the chief of the host forces spoke up. His face was grim and agitated.
"Miss just fainted, no serious injuries." Answer the other.
There were about twenty people forming a line. Since they were inside the forest so this commotion was no problem. They waited quietly for the arrival of their master. After a while waiting for the sound of the horse's foot pounding to be heard. They stiffened and immediately took a prepared stance.
A tall figure towering above the horse was visible. The big, haughty shadows shut off some of the light they made from the torch. Blue eyes as deep as the sea looked around. A gripping and sharp gaze circulated. If that gaze was compared to a knife, perhaps someone had lost his head.
"Report the situation!" A resolute voice from behind the shadow appeared. Face visible. Hard and cold. He was the ruler of the northern region, Duke Ares Osbern.
The soldiers immediately saluted. Their armor clinks from friction. One of them came forward.
"Miss passed out and she's doing fine, Your Majesty."
Soon the line split and at the end there was Theia lying down. Wrap the blanket well.
Ares got off his horse then walked over to Theia's fainted body. His hands slipped down Theia's legs and neck. With a single pull the body has lifted, well smothered in Ares' chest.
"Come get the train." Tell Ares out loud.
