That teenage girl continued to follow the steps of the guide. There were no strange sightings yet, so Alexa did not feel scared. Suddenly, the virgin remembered her two female friends who had left the orphanage because they had been adopted. Longing that had disappeared now appears without being able to be prevented.
Aileen and Adaline, what are you doing in the new house? You are fortunate because you have got good parents. I wish I could get excellent parents, too. I hope my biological parents are still alive so that when the time comes to meet them, I want to hug Mom and Dad tightly, thought Alexa, who was holding back feelings of sadness in her heart.
The atmosphere in the forest was tranquil. A gentle breeze touched the Chosen One’s body and hair. There was no sound except for the sound of footsteps from Alexa and Lutzhi. The young girl wanted to look the other way, but a voice reminded her, but only she could hear the mystical voice, “Do not do it. Just follow that woman.”
That hazel-eyed girl was shocked because the figureless voice seemed to know what she was thinking. The desire to see the view there had to be abandoned because Alexa had received a warning not to take such action from the voice that always accompanied the girl, more precisely before Alexa was born into the world.
It is so weird. Could that strange voice just read my mind? It was impossible, but she gave me food and drink more than thirty minutes ago, so nothing was impossible. Alexa could not guess more because the voice remained silent after giving her a warning.
I am curious about the people who live in the Forbidden Forest. Is there food and drink available? How can they survive? I could not imagine what it would be like to live in a forest so far from the capital. Hopefully, the people there will accept me well. Alexa hoped because she could not go back to the orphanage anymore.
The sun’s light was still visible on Earth, including in the forbidden forest, but the girl just realized she had not heard the sound of animals there. Her great curiosity began to encourage Alexa to check the situation around her. However, the young lady remembered the message from the disembodied voice so that she could continue walking without looking at anything else.
Is Mr. Brazam’s place that far? I really wanted to check the situation here, but I ended up being scolded by that strange voice. I don’t know how long I have to walk because the woman before me didn’t say anything. Should I ask her or not? Alexa tried to think things through so that she did not make the wrong decision.
For unknown reasons, a granddaughter of Sir Elmer Louis Writh and Madame Phoenix Lily Katira felt reluctant to ask, even though Alexa had a million questions. The tall, slender woman continued to follow Lutzhi, who seemed to deliberately not want to walk too fast so that the messenger of Goddess Magia would be included.
The quiet atmosphere did not scare Alexa. Occasionally, she stepped on a twig on the ground, but the object was small, so it did not hurt her feet. The woman sent by the High Preist was still walking as if she did not feel tired. Occasionally, a gentle breeze could be judged on the virgin lady’s skin, and she enjoyed the situation.
Hmm… alright. I liked the atmosphere in the forest, even though I could not see any houses or other people around here. Hopefully, everything goes well, and I can meet Mr. Brazam soon. Alexa still had hope in her heart while concentrating on following Lutzhi, the guide.
After traveling quite a distance, the two women of different ages finally arrived at a beautiful village. Anyone who saw Alexa as soon as possible saluted her, as if the girl was famous there, even though it was her first time there.
What was wrong with them? Why instead salute me, then stealthily steal glances at me? Is this really a wizard village? But why do people do that? Is there anything special about this? Alexa muttered in her heart.
A few moments later, the middle-aged woman stopped in front of a temple. Alexa, who was staring there, looked surprised because she had not expected that there could be a building in the forest that could be said to be quite magnificent.
“Wow. This place is beautiful. What is the name of this place?” asked Alexa, who could not hide her admiration.
“This is the temple of the Goddess Magia. In this place, we gather to worship our goddess; apart from that, Mr. Brazam is also waiting for you inside,” answered Lutzhi kindly.
“Ah, I see. Thank you for the explanation, ma’am.” The girl answered and did not dare to ask again.
In front of the door, there were two guards. They looked at Lutzhi and Alexa. Without further ado, the two guards opened the door so the two women could enter. A middle-aged woman still led at the front while young girls followed behind.
The hallway was quite long. Torches were placed on both sides of the walls, thus lighting their way. No conversation was created, so what was heard was footsteps echoing around the corner. Not long after, Lutzhi stopped in front of a door, on which there was a strange and Alexa could not describe it.
“Miss, I took you here. Please wait. If you feel hungry, open the bag because there is food and drink.” Lutzhi opened the conversation.
“Okay, thank you for your help, ma’am.” Alexa was grateful that the foreign voice that had said something about food and drink was authentic.
“You are welcome. I will leave this place now. Stay here, Miss,” said Lutzhi.
That teenage girl nodded. She looked at the departure of the middle-aged woman accompanying her. When Latzhi’s back was no longer visible, both eyes circulated around the quiet place. Because no one was there, as soon as possible both hands opened the bag and saw several pieces of bread. Feelings of hunger arise, remembering the journey was quite long. Alexa started eating with a happy heart.
Whoa! It is so delicious! I did not expect that the bread provided was so delicious. It also contains meat; it does not matter what it is, but I can eat it. At the orphanage, all food was eaten without complaint, so the same applies now, she muttered to herself.
Suddenly, a light tap was felt on the left shoulder, even though the girl had not finished everything in her bag, which made Alexa turn in that direction.
“Welcome to this place, Miss. I am Brazam Gaelith. Come, enter the worship room with me.” That old man opened the conversation.
