The Last Heirloom's
7. Kaala Lake

"What is this place?"

Isla looked around at the large rock chunks surrounding the dark lake. On the sides of the stone are scattered many bones and also human skulls.

Isla instantly retreated from feeling scared and claustrophobic due to the intense dark aura. This place is very dangerous and should not be visited. Seeing the many bones and skulls of humans made Isla shudder. His mind began to fumble, would everything that came to this place end up like those bones?

"Don't think a no-no, Miss. The bones you see belong to witches who have hearts and evil natures. The reason we chose this path to go to Agora, is because Hugo's men who are now hunting the Emrys Heirloom will not be able to pass this path. "

"But why? Then are you sure we can get through this road?" asked Isla, still looking unsure. Besides, he didn't see the path Rex had just described.

"Of course you're sure, just trust us. They will not take this path, because witches who have evil purposes will not be able to go through this path. And the skulls, are those who desperately call the inhabitants of the lake. This lake is called Kaala Lake, where your intentions and heart can be read if you touch the water. If your intentions are good, what comes is a beautiful creature that will gladly lead you to Agora. But if your intentions are bad, then you'll meet the opposite creature."

Rex's explanation did not immediately make Isla's heart feel relieved. He came to this place does not even have any purpose, after all he was kidnapped by the man named Kai and also a cat who can talk and change his form.

Isla was still flinching on the spot. Kai, who had not come along to give a long explanation, had been crouching on a large rock, preparing to dip his right hand in the lake water. Rex did the same. The brunettes man glanced through his shoulders, looking a little impatient.

"Hurry here! Trust us, nothing will happen. Unless you'd rather stay here, with those skulls," Kai said.

The man's words sounded a little threatening. Isla had no choice but to follow the two of them. After all, he could not return because the road to his world was closed. Isla has decided to come to this place, wanting to know what things are actually living in her body. Until people who claim to be witches are eager to get it.

After all, surviving in the real world today has made Isla feel tired. He did not find anyone who appreciated him. The person he wanted to protect even hated him. And now, when Isla felt her life was useless, a foreign man came and said he had something precious. Whether true or not, Isla just wants to run away from the life she is living right now.

Isla advanced slowly, crouching between Kai and Rex. He exhaled the breath that had been held before deciding to dip his hand in the lake water. It was very cold when the water touched the skin, spread to the extent of the elbow like an electric current that immediately made his hand muscles confused.

The lake water that was originally calm, is now slowly starting to ripple on its side. Then a whirlpool appeared in the middle of the lake that was getting bigger and deeper. The incident was followed by the arrival of a glimmer of green light that shimmered out from within the lake.

Kai immediately pulled Isla backwards as the girl was being bewitched by the events unfolding before her eyes. The water of the lake is turbulent the bigger as well as the green light that shines the longer the brighter.

The lake water soared quite high when a large object suddenly appeared and gushed from the lake. The lake water pooled around the cave, causing a large splash that soaked three figures standing near the rock.

"Ma... What's that thing?" he muttered with a trembling voice.

"That's the Hippocampus, a friendly, legendary creature that will gladly usher us towards the Agora" Kai said. "But don't offend him and make the owner angry. What are you waiting for, let's go. He doesn't like to wait too long."

Kai answered Isla's question as if it was no burden at all. He did not know when at that time Isla almost fainted, her body trembling extraordinarily. Because for the first time he saw a creature that never existed on Earth is now standing upright right in front of his face.

Kai even now stroked the creature who kindly directly gave his back to be used as a lift. The creature then neighed like a horse, as if ordering two people who had not yet moved to immediately climb onto its back.

"Come, miss, don't be afraid. It is the most friendly and beautiful creature, you will definitely love it."

Yep. Isla's shock had now turned into a boundless admiration. This world shows all the things that Isla has never met in her world. This world is just an imagination that has been seeped into his head. But who would have thought, at this time he was even trapped in the world of imagination. But the difference is, this imagination has now turned into reality.

"Why? You changed your mind?" kai asked as Isla flinched on the spot. It was obvious that the girl was doubtful. Apparently that cold face could also form another expression.

"No. It's just that this is too sudden. In one night my life felt completely changed. I don't know if my choice to go with you guys is right."

Kai mused. Sobbing a little because he felt Isla was wasting time. "Well, maybe the choice I'm offering is nothing interesting. But weren't you the one who wanted to know about your strength and the man who came to you at that time?"

Isla nodded.

"Then, what are you waiting for?"

Isla looked over the emerald eyes of the man who had no doubts. Isla is curious about Kai's true power. Aura Kai was indeed very strong, bright and positive. But, Isla can also feel something dark hidden inside Kai. The same aura as the man of that time.

Seriate...
