UNEARTHS

4. Girl in the woods

Yeira came closer and shook Rhea's shoulder tightly. "Dasaar!!! I came back because I wanted to take care of your wounds!! Why are you doing this? I thought you were a friend!!!"

Yeira's hand which held onto Rhea's injured arm tightly made the blood seep and flow back. "It's not my fault. It's a misunderstanding. You have to listen to me first!" Rhea tried to make Yeira understand. The pain in his arm was not felt. Tears flooded the faces of the two.

"I beg. I'm totally innocent" Rhea said again.

"HOW ARE YOU INNOCENT HUH?! I EVEN RESTRAINED MYSELF WHEN I SAW YOUR BLOOD BUT THIS IS YOUR REPLY TO ME?! IF I WANTED TO I WOULD HAVE MADE YOU A FOOD LONG TIME AGO!!! AH DAMNN" Jerked Yeira.

He feels betrayed. They have been friends for a long time. Even whenever Rhea was injured, she never once felt tempted. But the actions of the human girl were unforgivable. The arrow that stuck in his father's body was a poisoned arrow. He made it himself to be used by Rhea if she was not around and so that Rhea could protect herself.

Yeira ruffled her hair in frustration. His chest felt rumbling and felt hot. The strange anger that possessed his body was unacceptable to him. He still does not believe and does not accept.

Seeing the situation far out of control Niyaz carried Rhea who was still looking to accept Yeira's insults at him. He spread his wings and flew through the balcony of the room away from the mansion.

Yeira took out a black sphere from her hand and pointed it towards a Lyosalfar with that glowing body.

His hand then went down again.

"No, I can't. He's my best friend" he said. He fell down. If you can pursue. He also has strong wings. His magic could not be underestimated but why could he not even bring out his power. Now he just wants to cry. His father is gone, because of his best friend.

Yeira looked at her palm. Rhea's blood was on the Dokkalfar girl's hand. "What happened to us today? I don't know."

***

Niyaz and Rhea were sitting on a large tree branch in the Dokkalfar forest. They stayed on a high branch. Enough to make someone die if they jump down.

Rhea bends her mouth and leans. She was crying sobbing. What's he done today?

What happened to him today?

"That's it. I understand your feelings. We can't go back to explain. You saw for yourself how he reacted. " Sobbing Niyaz.

"Easy? You think this whole thing could just be done. Yeira must hate me so much now." His complaint.

Rhea's plan to quit was lost instantly. This could be called a farewell. Rhea's heart was racing. He remembered what he had done today. Ah, it feels so weird. Rhea felt something she could not describe.

"I think we should go now to the Lyosalfar region. I can't change anymore and you can't stay here. I don't understand but I'm afraid your blood is smelling and making them come." Niyaz.

"But you're hurt. Look at your forehead bleeding. I can't see clearly but you certainly don't have just one wound." Rhea was worried.

Niyaz thought what Rhea said was unnecessary. He was a Lyosalfar. Elves are physically stronger than humans. "You're too worried. Thanks though. I'm doing fine. Let's go."

"You sure? Not that Lyosalfar's body is always glowing, but your light is dim." Rhea said as she looked straight at the man.

"Ah, I intentionally. Usually this is not something that can be controlled at will. But some elves can do it." Obviously Niyaz again. "Again if the light is seen Dokkalfar can be dangerous right"

Rhea nodded. He was then carried and with Niyaz he flew under the night sky. The cold wind felt piercing. Rhea wondered if the Elves also felt a chill. They should be stronger, right?

"Sister, why is sister so good to me?" Ask Rhea suddenly.

Niyaz glanced at a glance and then revealed a small smile. "How yes. You're a pathetic boy 11 years ago."

Rhea hit Niyaz on the shoulder making her a little squishy. "Hey, don't be like that. Danger tau" Annoyed Niyaz.

Rhea felt no guilt. "But seriously yes. I wonder why you're like this. If you don't see me, you don't have to have a problem with Dokkalfar. There is no need to enter this dangerous territory for an elf like you. There is also no need to take care of someone like me. You can be happy living in the territory of your own people. I heard the Lyosalfar region is very beautiful"

Niyaz laughed crisply. "Well, you're just like my sister. I'll take you there so you can see for yourself the beauty of our territory."

Again the same answer. He always said the same thing when asked. Because you're like my sister. It's always like that.

Rhea noticed something on Niyaz's face. "Your face is pale. Is it okay if you force yourself? What happens to you until it feels like your energy is drained?"

It's about what happened tonight. Maybe Yardan did something to Niyaz until his energy drained out.

"Why did you say that? I'm strong it took a day by flying for us to arrive. Because I can't move places as usual we'll speed up tonight so that our morning has arrived" explained Niyaz at length.

"No, you're not being nice. Let's go down and rest first." Take Rhea.

"No, it's dangerous if we stay in this region. At least we should get to the border first." Niyaz's breakup won't budge.

***

"Damn it.fucking..my head is dizzy." Complain someone.

"Eh, you woke up. We'll be there soon." Niyaz said in a tired voice.

"We'll just go down. Your situation is getting worse. It is not dangerous to continue. " Push Rhea back.

"Stage, a little while longer" Niyaz said just before she took to heart. The wings feel unable to continue. The two of them fell even though they were not very high because Niyaz tried to stabilize them a little before they actually fell.

Bruckk

They both fell on the grass. Rhea looked up at the sky. The night is long. He glanced at Niyaz who looked tired. He helped her wake up. The two of them finally just sat down while staring at the sky.

No one wants to talk. Rhea still remembered the incident made her not want to say anything more. As for Niyaz, Lyosalfar was extremely exhausted and was also injured.

She was this long night they were both silent in silence. Niyaz chose to lie down followed by Rhea. They both lay down while looking up at the sky. Along the way he didn't see Dokkalfar making him feel safe. Maybe briefly. Let them take a break for a moment. Just a moment until they have the strength to move forward. Moreover, Rhea who would somehow live her life like what. He can't go back to Yeira. He can only keep going forward.

A voice from the bushes made the two men wake up and straighten their bodies. One emerged from behind the bushes carrying lanterns from a cluster of brightly glowing fireflies.

Rhea and Niyaz didn't know what to say. What they saw left him confused as to whether he was a friend or an opponent.

"Who are you?" Niyaz asked standing in front of Rhea.

Someone who has a body like Dokkalfar. But what makes him weird is that he doesn't have wings. His body was covered in a black robe with a hood on his head.

"I'm not a bad guy. I just want to pass by" said the man. The two of them could not guess whether she was a girl or a boy. His voice was a little heavy but his body was slightly taller than Rhea.

Niyaz took out a golden ball of light in her palm. "What are you? Dokkalfar's? Are you going to attack us?"

"Whoa, just relax, man. I.emm.can be called Dokkalfar but I am also human like that woman. Ah, that's it." Obviously that guy.

"There's no guarantee you're good. " Said Niyaz while pointing her hand towards that person. But before casting his magic the man's body backward. Rhea held the tall body of the man.

"Why force yourself. Never mind. He seems like a good man." Rhea.

"You need help. My house is near here. You can go to my house to rest and eat." Bring that guy.

Rhea and Niyaz weighed for a moment. They finally agreed. He finally showed me the way home. It was true that his house was not far from their place. When they arrived, the man lit a candle and rolled out a carpet to sit on.

Rhea watched the house. The house is made of bamboo even the carpet is worn inedible age. But this house feels comfortable because it is clean. There's only an empty room here, no chairs, tables, or decorations. Totally innocent.

The man then offered them fruits and small meals. Niyaz and Rhea still looked doubtful.

Seeing their doubts the man understood."Take it easy, I don't put poison in here." He took one food and ate it. Proving that their suspicions are wrong.

"Why are you helping us? We don't know each other." Niyaz said, opening the sound.

"I was just going through, but you guys seem to be in need of help" explained the man. "Ah, I almost forgot. My name is Honora" continue to introduce yourself.

Honora opened her hood revealing her face. Ah, she's a girl.

"Ah, you're a woman." Niyaz said innocently.

"I mean?" Ask Honora.

Rhea elbowed the man who was even met with a gaze saying 'what's my fault?'

"You can't see my physique? I am clearly a woman. " Say no thanks Honora.

"Your voice is not like that of a woman" Niyaz added.

"What?!" Honora showed her face.

Rhea then cleared her throat trying to stop this strange chatter. "Already, brother. I'm Rhea, this is my brother's name is Niyaz. Salan knows honora" Rhea said in her usual tone. He could not even smile as he was still thinking about the incident earlier. He's feeling a little bad. Honora might feel like she's a jutek.

"Ah, so I can't guess what you are" added Niyaz again.

Honora sighed. "Forget it. You guys don't seem to sleep all night, the sun's rising. Rest here. "

"Take it"

"On one condition" Honora continued to interrupt.

Rhea frowned. What the fuck is this guy? He thought this guy was good, there was a hidden intent. Ha, other people's thoughts are hard to guess.
