A Butterfly That Can'T Fly
Race Stone 3

The sound of knocking on the door made their chatter stop, The chieftain allowed the person who knocked to enter. There was a young man with brown hair and almond eyes who came in and walked towards them.

"Chief, we're cleared to go hunting"

The man glanced at Alurra at a glance then turned his gaze to the Chieftain when met with Iron's eyes glaring at him, after obtaining permission from the chieftain he left from there quickly. Just that, he only asked for permission to go hunting and not say anything else afterwards.

Iron was annoyed as he glanced at Alurra, even if only for a short while. He was annoyed by Alurra's beautiful face, so many people glanced at him. Does he have to lock Alurra up so that only he can see the beauty of Alurra? No, he quickly removed the evil thoughts, he could not bear to see Alurra grieving.

Iron would rather see a free Alurra like this, he would always smile whenever he wanted, he would frown when he was upset. Iron liked.

"Well, back on the topic, how did you guys know that our Stone Race was in this place? This forest is very far from the land of Elves"

Iron was aware from his daydreams when the Chief's voice came back, Alurra also realized that Iron was daydreaming from earlier, he grasped Iron's hand and looked at him as if saying 'why?' Iron shook his head.

"We don't know where this is, that old man who sent us into this forest, we just walked around and rested under a big tree because it was too tired and it was night"

The chief nodded, the old man must have expected this to happen. Clearly, he was an ancient Druid who could foretell. Alurra who realized that the Chief said that this forest was very far from the land of Elves was surprised, how far was it?

"How far is this forest from the land of Elves?"

The chief smiled, he picked up a paper that turned out to be a map of the world. He pointed towards the 2 places that made Alurra instantly dumbfounded.

2 Different countries.

"The Elves are in England while the Stone Race is in South Africa, the old man's destination to bring you here is probably because the Divs won't be able to get here anytime soon"

Iron and Alurra understood now, it turned out that the reason the carpenter uncle told them to come to Ras Batu was because their place was far from the land of Elves and the Divs. If they were to the land of the heavens then the Divs could quickly find them.

"The old man had already said a prophecy about a war that would determine the destruction of the world, if the Divs and Imps won they would attack this earth and try to master it, and the balance of the universe would be destroyed"

Alurra and Iron were surprised to hear the prophecy, it seemed like the current situation was more serious compared to what they had thought. Alurra thought that the Divs would only attack them because the Elves were their enemies.

"The Divs want to kidnap Alurra and take his heart that has been filled with wood power to unlock the request book and they want to use that to resurrect their long-dead King"

Alurra had already heard of it before from Eirwen, therefore he was just silent and obedient as many knights guarded around him. The chieftain didn't seem to know about it, he looked at Alurra in surprise then let out a long sigh.

"So that's why the ancient Druids said that the world would be destroyed and the balance of the universe would be destroyed"

Correct, right, if King Divs raised from the dead use the power of wood to unlock the request book and ask to resurrect their King with greater power then if this happens the evil King Divs will start attacking various places to gain supreme power.

"I see now, you must stay here, I will provide a place for you to stay"

They nodded, everything was clear now. If they were here then the Alurra family would also be safe for a while in the land of the heavens.

The chieftain let them stay at the house of one of the Stone Race, this was the house on the tree that Alurra had seen before they went to the house of the Chieftain. The owner of the house was a middle-aged woman who had a young boy.

This house is different from a stone house, this house is made of wood like a wooden house usually. The middle-aged woman was very friendly and welcomed them well making Alurra not feel uncomfortable at all.

"Let's go in, here's the beautiful lady's room and next to her this handsome young man's room. Let's take a look at your room"

They entered the room that the middle-aged woman had mentioned, pretty good, at least the mattress they were using was not made of stone, like a regular mattress in general.

Alurra wondered why the Stone Race had stone houses and some lived in these large trees. Why don't they all live in tree houses?

When he finished looking at his room, Alurra came out and saw the middle-aged woman preparing food for them, Alurra only realized that she was hungry. He walked closer.

"Can I help you?"

"No, no need for a beautiful lady. You just have to sit there in that sweet chair. Oh yeah, just call me Emma, everybody here calls me that"

Right, they haven't met before. As the Chieftain escorted them to this woman's place, he was immediately delighted and pulled their hands to look through the contents of the house.

"I'm Alurra and the man I was with was Iron"

"It turns out the name of the handsome young man was Iron, it's a pity that I am old and must remember the age, otherwise I will definitely tease him"

Emma laughed out loud, she thought that her words were funny, the wrinkles around her face were visible as she laughed. Alurra just smiled, then he saw a boy who was about 5 or 6 years old walking towards them with his small steps.

"Mom, I'm hungry"

He whined and put on a sullen look, Alurra was feeling anxious! This kid is so cute and he wants to pinch his cheeks. The little man then took his place beside Alurra and looked towards Alurra.

"You're beautiful my name is Haris, I'll marry my beautiful sister when I grow up"

Alurra and Emma laughed when they heard the little man's words, while Iron came out of his room and heard the boy's words rushed up to them and sat down beside Alurra, then stared intently at the boy.

"This brother will marry me, you're too small for him"
