The Escapades
Episode 17's
“Why silence?” ask Wira.
“I'm hungry.”
The hero does not know to cry or laugh. It was almost noon and they had also come to many places, the Heaven energy must have been drained a lot.
Wira held her smile as much as she could as she said, “In front there is a river, we rest there.”
The hero could bear not to eat for days but not with Heaven. Moreover, his energy base was still unstable, it would not help much.
Heaven threw himself under a tree near the river, he was hungry and could no longer walk. His feet have been trembling ever since!
He was very tired and hungry too. Heaven closed his eyes and almost fell asleep when he felt someone was watching him. It's not a hero, the aura is different.
Heaven opened his eyes and stood vigilantly as he had already confirmed that it was not a Hero.
His legs were limp but he still forced himself to stand up as his eyes sharpened as one eagle.
His body trembled with hunger and agitation as he felt foreign energy surrounding him, as if he was being skinned alive. His heart was racing and he could feel his blood rushing through his body.
He felt a very strong pressure and his survival instinct could sense a great danger approaching him. He'll be dead in a minute!
Suddenly Wira was already standing in front of him and calmly said, “Stop, Feyang.”
And that energy disappeared instantly like it never existed.
Heaven fell down because his knees were limp and his chest rose down rapidly.
“You all right?” The hero helped him stand up.
Someone was sitting on one of the tree branches, her green hair dangling down and she smiled. There was a white bird perched on his right shoulder as if he was a tree.
“Hallo all!”
He jumped up and landed on the ground lightly. The bird flew up and perched on another tree branch.
“You scared him.”
“Oh sorry, I feel a little bit of your aura is on him. It turned out to be quite decent for a person without an energy foundation,” he said looking at Heaven in awe.
She reached out her hand to shake hands as she happily said, “I'm Feyang, and you ..?”
“Heaven.” He was still trying to catch his messy breath because of the thing just now.
...
They were currently heading towards the bamboo forest, where Feyang was staying.
The wallless pavilion only had bamboo curtains on all sides and made the wind freely blow, making the distinctive aroma of the tea spread rapidly.
“So you intend to open the formation to help him get out of here?”
The hero nodded slowly in response.
Feyang then glanced at Heaven with his meaningful gaze, then thrusting one cup to Heaven.
“Teh is blue,” comments slowly.
He took a little sip and it tasted good, not bitter but not sweet. There is a taste that makes it comfortable to drink.
“Well, Heaven, why don't you just stay here? Isn't it great here, you can also visit here at any time. I will always accept you.”
Heaven shook his head, “No, can't.”
“Why not? What's not in this place?” ask Feyang.
He wanted Heaven to stay here, be with them and accompany the Hero. But the reply from Heaven stunned him.
Feyang glanced at Wira for a while then let out a slow breath.
“If you want to get out of here, take her too!” His words made Wira glare.
“What's your max?” ask the hero not happy.
“I've seen you grow, I've also seen how this place is made, I see everything.”
“I also saw all your suffering,” he said staring at Wira, his gray eye bead seemed to grow dimmer as he recalled all that in his head.
The hero said nothing. Feyang was his mother's loyal servant, when his mother was kicked out of the house for conceiving him, Feyang had already been several times close to death for protecting his mother.
Until one day they found the waterfall, and the cave. In the end his mother sacrificed a lot to make this glass world. A place where he could grow well and not be found by those people.
There was a deep flash of hatred as she recalled her mother's words about those people. He hates them! He hated how his mother suffered so much because of them! How could his mother suffer just from love?!
“You tried your best but still failed, but you have to get out of here if you want to avenge this.”
“I ...,” he hesitates to say it. “I will help you,” he said after a moment of silence.
The hero doesn't know what to say. He wants to, but he can't. He could not leave them all behind, he could not leave this glass world just like that.
The soul takes a breath and exhales it slowly when it feels its adrenals being spurred. He could feel his blood flowing so profusely within his body!
All those who had some connection to tomorrow's plan were already visited, so they took an early break for the next day.
The next day ...
They had breakfast at the outdoor dining table, the smell of bamboo and the fresh breeze made the atmosphere very extraordinary. Added to the fragrance of the cuisine that Wira makes.
Feyang ate his food very carefully as if he was afraid that there was a taste that he did not feel well.
His face was radiant and there was a hue of happiness in his eyes.
“It has been a long time that I have not eaten your cooking,” he said after spending the largest portion of grilled fish.
Heaven is also eating voraciously, he will need a lot of energy for today.
“Well, come to think of it a long time ago, right.”
“True, your cooking is amazing as always!”
Heaven did not speak and continued to eat, he was unwilling to disturb the two of them and he also did not understand what they were actually talking about.
...
“Alright, it's time to go.”
The three of them set off, Wira and Feyang flying with the help of the Heaven-controlled wind.
“You're pretty good too,” praise Feyang.
Heaven looked up proudly, after all just an ability he could show.
Although he was sure his level was still very far below Wira or Feyang. Heaven was so curious, these two people were already at what level?
No need for a long time, they finally arrived at a place that has been agreed.
In front of the Tree of Life, the seven formation stone holders had already gathered.
Tcesni as the guardian of the Tree of Life, Charles the guardian of the Underground World, Freya the guardian of the Orchid Flower Forest, Shilpy the guardian of the Underwater World; Feyang the guardian of the Bamboo Forest, and, Tiamat guard of the Beast Forest and Zmey guardian of the upper World.
They did not look familiar at all, there were even some who were staring hostilely.
“Yo, Tiamat! Long time no see ya.”
