The Land Of Thorns
Unexpected meeting part 2
The contents of the message Edgar read that made him arrive immediately - arriving from his seat looking towards the exit, but he did not see where the man was running. According to him this was a clue, someone who wrote this message thought he was a witch which meant he knew that witches existed.
“Wait here for a minute, I'll be back!”
Pinta Edgar with her serious face looks at Ludi as she is about to come out of the tavern chasing the mysterious person who gave her this paper.
Edgar came out of the tavern and he looked around looking for the mysterious person.
He saw the mysterious man running towards a small alley that made Edgar chase him into a small alley.
In the alley he saw the mysterious man standing before him, like he was waiting for Edgar to chase him to this place. The mysterious person opened the headscarf that covered his face.
‘Ha! That girl!’
Edgar sees that the mysterious person is a silver-haired girl who stole money from him, Edgar who was furious with the girl made Edgar approach her and grabbed her collar because he was annoyed to get a bad reply from the person he helped.
The girl seemed resigned as Edgar grabbed her, plus Edgar saw the girl close her eyes like that before him, making Edgar stop himself from trying to restrain himself.
Edgar thinks that this girl really stole from him there is no way he can show his face again, but he instead appears and gives a message that attracts Edgar's attention because he thinks he is a witch.
It also made Edgar feel that he had to find out before acting further.
“Why did you steal from me, and why do you think I'm a witch!”
Edgar knew that the girl could not possibly answer him by speaking directly to him, but Edgar said that only to vent his frustration.
‘What does he do?’
The girl arrived - arriving closer to Edgar which made him shocked and reflexively stepped back, he said, but then Edgar was silent to see him who looked to put on a plain face with his hands that were like he was going to touch both cheeks.
‘Can you hear me?’
‘Ha! How can I hear your voice?’
The girl's voice suddenly appeared in Edgar's mind as his hands touched Edgar's cheeks. He saw the girl looking happy smiling before him for being able to communicate with her.
‘What do you do?’
‘I speak in your mind.’
“How can!”
Edgar stepped back from the girl who touched him as she looked surprised to feel disbelief. The girl touched him again.
‘Do you believe now?’
‘Iya I think ... are you a witch?’
Given the strangeness done to this girl earlier made Edgar understand that this girl was a witch.
‘Iya .. You are a witch too?’
‘I am not a witch, wait .. Why do you think I am a witch?’
‘Roh Fairy told me when you saved me.’
‘What is a fairy spirit?’
‘Iya Fairy spirit, a magic creature ... this is weird so you can't see the fairy spirit around me?’
Edgar seemed confused to look around the girl's limbs, because he did not see a single fairy spirit in question.
‘Wait .. I don't feel the flow of natural magic from you but .. is this mystic magic?’
‘Spirit elf asked me, he said that you need it later but the bandits will rob the money from you.’
‘Bandits? It's not that I'm after you so I'm dealing with that bandit! Uh! … can the fairy spirit see the future?
Edgar seemed to be thinking considering the previous events, Edgar felt that even though he did not pursue him he must still be dealing with 3 stupid bandits.
But since this girl was being chased by the bandits and passing in front of her, there was a possibility that the 3 foolish bandits were the same bandit plotters, because hearing Ludi's explanation about bandits in the city is troubling and surely they will help the 3 fools.
‘So what's your name?’
‘You can call me Silvi.’
‘Then why were you chased by them?’
‘Actually I can speak and hear, it's just that I got the curse of an evil witch, which makes 1 sound vibration will not be able to reach me, it's just that I got the curse of an evil witch, which makes 1 sound vibration will not be able to reach me, and I get a hint that the bandits in this place stole an heirloom belonging to the wind spirit.’
‘So you intend to restore the heirloom and ask the Spirit of the wind to lift your curse?’
‘Iya like that .. but I think they know that I'm a witch and they intend to kidnap me, like the bandits and the chariot riders.’
‘Like that yes, it's worth it that I feel there's something strange about that chariot driver.’
‘Iya like that, when the fairy spirit told me to feel magic from you I thought you were a witch and intended to ask for your help. That sounds strange, an ordinary human being but you don't seem surprised to see a witch .. does this have anything to do with the mystical magic you have?’
Edgar again felt confused because he did not really understand why mystic magic was in him, he only knew that what distinguished humans and witches were inside the body that was the natural magic that flowed in their blood. An ordinary human would never be able to use magic if there was indeed no natural magic flowing in their blood.
‘Maybe that mystic magic has something to do with what's happening to me right now. Is there a magic that allows you to see the future for decades?’
‘I've never heard of that magic, but maybe the elders know what you mean, maybe I'll find out if my business is done here.’
Edgar did not realize that Ludi was following him because Ludi seemed curious to see Edgar arriving - coming out of the tavern.
For Edgar and Silvi they were seen talking at length like normal people, but for Ludi who saw them at this time they were like lovers who were making out in a dark alley.
“I didn't expect a friend, so you'd prefer that pretty girl over chatting with me!”
“Hah! Ludi .. since when are you?”
“Since you came out of the store ... I've been waiting, didn't you kiss her?”
Ludi who was still in the condition of the influence of alcohol made him think they looked like they were going to kiss, because from earlier looking at their faces so close let alone seeing Silvi touch Edgar's cheeks with a seductive look.
‘Is there no other way but to touch my cheek?’
‘Actually any other limb can, but closer to the brain is better’
Edgar immediately tried to take off his touch because he did not want to be a spectacle of Ludi who was still watching him seemed to be waiting for them to do what he thought.
‘Wait, I don't know your name yet?’
“..., my name is Edgar. I think I'll help you get what you're looking for, because I also have business with those bandits.”
Silvi watched Edgar's lips carefully, though quickly, but she knew what Edgar was talking about.
“What do you mean Edgar bandit?”
Ask Ludi who looks confused.
“That's what I wanted to talk to you about earlier, let's talk about this in the store only!”
Silvi smiled at him, she felt that if she made the right choice because Edgar was going to try to help her, she saw Edgar seem to ask her to follow the two of them into the tavern.
