Some traders pass the path on the edge of the forest at night with a quiet situation. They used to pass this road because it was the closest path to the village.
But who would have thought there was a menacing danger every night. They did not realize there was movement within the forest.
"Um.. Should we go back to the market path?" one of them got a bad feeling.
"It's a waste of time, after all, the market path is too far from here" replied the trader walking ahead. In fact, he was also just as afraid, looking cold sweat splashing down his face.
Then they saw someone staggering in front of them. The man was not wearing clothes, only wearing leather pants.
"Please.." she whimpered.
"Look there, there are people" said one of the traders.
"Don't mind, maybe he's just a drunk guy"
The man walked towards them, but he had already fallen to the ground. The merchants were surprised, they immediately approached the man.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"T-please. i.."
"Why you?"
Then, one of the traders noticed that there was a symbol above the man's navel. Symbols with a shape like the head of a lion with sheep horns.
"What symbol is that?"
Suddenly, the man's eyes widened and gave off a green light. The merchants gasped in shock and immediately walked away from him. The man fluttered, his veins clearly visible on the skin and he cried out like a frightened person.
"W-why is she?!"
"What's going on?!"
His body was enlarged and filled with black fur. His face changed, looking like an ape. His hands and feet were full of muscles, then he reached 5 meters in height.
The merchants were screaming hysterically. They ran away to leave their merchandise behind.
The man who was already a giant gorilla went berserk and hit his own chest. He jumped up and appeared in front of them.
The merchants were about to turn around, but some of them were just hit to the side until they crashed everywhere. The remaining ones tried to run away as quickly as possible.
"Revelation!!"
Boom!
A merchant was brutally beaten to the ground and thrown into the air. There were only two other traders left sitting on the ground in shock and pale faces.
"Please.."
The gorilla was about to hit, yet a skin-robed person appeared before him. The gorilla's body was wrapped around a purple elastic cord. His movements instantly stopped, he could not rebel.
"Hold, you can't kill them all" the mysterious person said in a hoarse voice.
"W-who are you?" askthem.
The man smiled obliquely, he opened the hood of his robe, revealing his pale face, his hair was dark red, his lips were thin and his eyes were rather large. Sometimes he has a long tongue.
"I? You don't need to know" he replied. Suddenly, he disappeared and appeared behind the two merchants.
"You accidentally entered his territory, so he was angry" the man held the two merchant heads. "But, fortunately I'm here, so you can live longer. Yeah.maybe about two minutes longer"
Then, the bodies of the two merchants shook violently. Their bodies took care of them for a long time, looking like corpses and then they were dropped to the ground.
"Law.. Qube and his energy were not much but hefty"
Then he looked at the gorilla. "You're just troublesome" he raised his hand forward. The gorilla was back to being human but he was in a fainting state.
"You are.." the man let out a long breath.

"You want to go to Midorian Castle tomorrow?" daendra asked, looking at Arion in disbelief. He was shocked of course, hearing Arion suddenly decide that.
Arion himself also hid the message of Eden to Daendra, he was actually confused also wanted to give a reasonable reason.
"so. I have to pack from now on and today I'll go" replied Arion.
The two of them hurriedly walked down the corridor, heading to Hanza's place to ask for permission.
"Why are you there?" daendra asked while holding Arion's arm to stop.
"I-i"
"There was a Princess Midorian contest there" Faesa appeared behind them. Both of them looked at the girl.
"What way to travel?" ask Daendra.
"Not a contest, Elder Midorian made an engagement for his son. The event lasted for more than a week and there were still many men who came to propose to him. Yes, none of them were attracted by Princess Midorian" Faesa explained.
Daendra turned to Arion. "You want to propose to her too?"
Arion's face flushed suddenly. "What do you mean?! Of course not, I. I. just went there. um. attended a few places there"
"Then, I'll come with you" Daendra said.
"Come? No, no, no need. You want to make Rena wait for you again? He is here only because of you and without you he would be in danger" replied Arion.
"After all, only Dad and we know the secret" whispered Arion. Faesa frowned, feeling that Arion and Daendra were hiding something.
"You have a point. But, is it okay for you? You are only 14 years old, the outside world is very cruel" Daendra said.
"It's okay, let me accompany him" Faesa said.
"What's? No need, I can take care of myself" Arion refused.
"With you occupying rank one, do not make the threat of this world trivial. Your Majesty won't let you go alone either"
Arion was silent, he wanted to find another reason but it was no longer in his brain. "Well, we're leaving now"
After obtaining permission from Hanza, Arion and Faesa immediately prepared to depart. A pair of horses had been prepared in front of the palace, Hanza, Lenia and Daendra were there to deliver their departure.
"You still want to go, son?" hanza asked, a little worried.
"Yes, Dad. This is my wish" answered Arion, full of confidence.
"Come here" Daendra pulled Arion into his arms. "Be careful there, don't get killed"
"God. You want to go, Arion?" ask Yaena.
"Yes, Brother"
"You just got home"
"Yes, I know that"
Yaena hugged Arion tightly, not forgetting to stroke her head. "Just be yourself"
"Good"
"Hey, a hug for me?" tanya Faesa, pretend to frown.
"Come here" Yaena hugged Faesa as well.
"Go back safely"
"We understand"
Arion and Faesa ride each other's horses. Arion looked ahead for a moment, then said goodbye to those who had delivered them.
"We're leaving?" faesa asked with a smile.
"Yes"
They also hugged their horses. Arion looked at the blue sky above him. They passed through buildings and all the infrastructure of the city. Moments later, they passed through the city gate guarded by some soldiers, they bowed respectfully to the two as they passed through the gate.
They used a large road flanked by forests separated by the road itself. There are still many people who pass by there, especially traders and farmers who bring their crops. This year is the harvest season.
"How long have we got to Midoria?" ask Arion.
"If it's fast, it'll probably be until morning" Faesa replied.
"Okay, we gotta hurry"
"wait. Why so rushed? Who are you meeting with there?"
"A friend"
Faesa rolled his eyes. He does not understand Arion's way of thinking, for now he only follows Arion.

midoria, Midorian Castle
Frimeya sat in her room while looking out the window. The morning sky and the same day again, he was already tired of this future show. Many men came, many of whom he refused, all of them. From the nobility to the ordinary. Even a king he rejected it.
"Maybe it's not time yet." he let out a short sigh.
Someone opened the door to his room. Vaya.
"Vaya?"
"Sister! Can you accompany me to practice?" ask Vaya.
Frimeya thought for a moment before obeying the wishes of the Brother. They were training in the castle grounds behind the castle.
The field was not closed, the passers-by could see them training. This time, many people had come over just to see Frimeya in action again.
There was a person in black robes with a black hood while smoking stopped his steps there. He accidentally sees Frimeya and Vaya training, and the man decides to see her for a while.
"Look your hand. Put your feet down, eh? Vaya, focus ahead"
Vaya stared at his target who was a straw statue. Frimeya stood beside him while directing.
"Shoot" said Frimeya.
Vaya throws her arrow, but unfortunately, it does not hit the target, just passing the statue.
Vaya was disappointed. Frimeya saw that, he picked up the bow lying on the ground. He was ready to shoot with an ordinary arrow.
The people watching started to get excited. They were amazed to see the girl want to act.
With a single breath, the arrow shot and hit the target, even the statue fell to the ground due to the pressure of the power that Frimeya had instilled.
"Based on genius Archer" the robed man murmured, then he left from there.
Frimeya turned to Vaya. "You just have to be focused and confident. That way, you can definitely get the target within your reach"
"But I'm not as good as Brother" Vaya replied.
Frimeya sat on his knees in front of Vaya. "It's not about great, Vaya. It's about your own abilities, believe you're not with yourself. Remember, one's prowess and skills do not arise from their talents alone, confidence and confidence are also needed. You gotit?"
Vaya smiled and nodded, her spirit reappearing.
"Smart girl" Frimeya developed her smile, then rubbed her sister's head.
A soldier approached them with a message from Frimeya's father.
"Miss, you need to get ready, the show's about to start"
Frimeya let out a long breath. "Alright" then the soldier left.
"So, I'm going, yeah"
"Eh, wait. Show me one trick" Vaya said.
"May" Frimeya took a swing to shoot. He pulled the bowstring, then two arrows appeared in the bow.
"El-Mefrisio"
The two magic arrows shot out quickly. In the air, the two objects circled around and then got closer and closer to each other, and the two arrows turned into a white tiger.
"Gee!" Vaya was amazed, and so were the people who saw him.
The white tiger ran fast in the air. With a roar, the animal attacked three straw statues with its giant claws until they were smashed.
The tiger disappeared into particles of light.
"Cool.." muttered Vaya.
"Study and practice always. Brother go first" Frimeya pinched Vaya's cheek, then left from there.
