Icy Forest

1357 Words
The boundary brings back memories of my first day in this world, I went back to the place where the serpent attempted to devour me and saw a young tree grown on that spot. Ignis came and told me to open the scroll that my father gave before we left. As I open it, the scroll was blank and there was a letter written in spirit characters attached into it; "My son, I know that you will definitely read this letter, I wrote this a few days ago and your Mama also helped me to write this message. She told me that you are very smart and in short period of time you learned everything about our realm. Whatever you choose, we will always support the choices that you will take. Whether you wanted to be a hero or not, we are rooting for you. And I guess you haven't know about the real location of this realm, let me tell you. The Spirit Realm does not have a permanent location, the boundary connects in different locations at once that is why it was rare for a mortal to find it. The scroll that I gave you was a map created by our last visitor that forged a pact with Terraria, just drip your blood on its edges and it will tell you the exact location where you are." I guess they aren't used to write letters but I really appreciated their efforts, based on one of the untitled books that I have read, the sharing of sources are possible if both entities agreed and combine their essence at once. Since we're on the surface I guess it is troublesome if I let this two accompany me in their current status. I made a small cut on my thumb and called them to come on me, "Ignis! Nocturne!" "Don't call me Ignis! We aren't on the Spirit Realm so call me Ifrit." he exclaimed. So noisy, at first I thought he was so cool but now I might take back my impression.. he act very childish. Unlike Ifrit, Nocturne came to me calmly and listened to me, the first time I heard his voice was at the recent incident but it feels like it happened a few days ago. It feels awkward to me since we kissed that time but he looked so innocent like nothing has happened. I told them to slit their thumb a little bit and asked Nocturne to seal the pact that we will make to bind the three of us. "Pledge from the blood that ebbed from the body of mine, fates entangled by the essence of three, a bond unfathomable. I, Ruelle, shares my source to Ifrit and Nocturne. Morte quoque non conteram in tres ex nobis seorsum!" As I finished the spell, my vision was kinda blurry and it seems like nothing has happened. I can feel the blood flowing in my body but it was still feels like it was on spirit form, the fact that there is no genital part hanging between my legs means that what I think was right. Nocturne helped me to stand up and assisted me on walking, we ventured to the forest trying to find the way out. I've forgotten to drip my blood on the corners of the scroll that's why I asked them to stop and rest for a while and I started to do what Papa's instructions tells me to do. As I drip my blood into the scroll, the blood flows into the center and slowly scattering in the scroll and formed an image, "It was a map!" I exclaimed out of surprise. Ifrit and Nocturne was also amazed as the scroll slowly inking itself with my blood. A small dot sparkled at the bottom part of the map which indicates our location appeared and a name was formed above the dot, it says "Djar-Fong" which I think is the name of the place or wherever we are. We sure are amazed by the GPS-like map that we didn't noticed that the place we are in gets colder and colder, it seems like the boundary itself spits us out before it travels into a random location. The snow started to fall over our heads and saw the forest being consumed by the icy climate. "Help! Help!!" asks Ifrit "What is it again?" I said. He pointed at the bottom of his belly, "A strange flesh was growing between my legs!" I don't know if I'm about to laugh because of his reaction or am I just thinking that he was an i***t. "Don't worry! That's normal," I said, "Humans are classified into male and female, unlike spirits, they have different genital structures. A rod of flesh for male and a small pit made up of flesh for female." I guess I explained it well to him, but I think won't grasp anything if I explain the whole details. The events are happening so sudden that I haven't even notice that the genital parts of us started to appear, I looked at Nocturne at it seems like his adaptability was good, he didn't even complain and always listens to what I say, what a relief that his presence calms me. "Look Ruelle, Nocturne! I guess I know what the purpose of this thing!" Says Ifrit as he wags his crotch. "i***t!! Don't do that in front of others!!!" And so the long discussion started as I tell them what was the do's and don'ts and the proper etiquettes when they are in public. *Grrrrrrrrpppghh... "I think this body needs to eat." said Nocturne. I ask them to hunt some animals but Nocturne refused, I forgot that he likes animals, instead me and Ifrit started to find some preys and edible plants . Nocturne remained to guard our things and to set up a barrier for us to stay overnight. The forest was field with crystallized flowers and plants of unusual shapes, in there we saw a panther-like animals feasting on the said plants. I don't know if it was just their diet or am I just not used to the differences between the world where I came from and this Gourd, but one thing is sure.. those animals will be our dinner. I melted the ice on the surroundings and imprisoned them inside a huge water sphere, we waited until those animals were fully drowned and butchered it leaving the unnecessary meat for other animals to feed on it. While on our way back to where Nocturne was, we saw a couple being chased by people with spears and lamp, I am about to jump in and help the two but Ifrit stopped me, "Remember, we don't know who are they and what they did," he said, "Do not meddle with others." He was right, I won't be careless again. We went back and roasted the meat and the produce that we found, Nocturne sets the barrier to become invisible on the outside while Ifrit warms our camp. That night the couple we saw before came in front of our camp grasping for air, for sure they cannot see us but I was worried about them. "S-Ss-Saison. I-i can't breathe.." the woman said as she was about to collapse. "E-end me w-wwith your bb-blade." "No Lyssa! Hold on! For sure we will surpass this. Everything will be alright.." said the man. The night grew colder and colder as the snow started to fall harder. I really wanted to help them but Ifrit and Nocturne stopped me from doing so. Later, we heard a sound of a sword being unsheathed from its scabbard, the man slashed his lover and tore her skin and covered his body with it. "Warm me fro the last time Lyssa," he said. The cold tested them both and drove the man into madness. His body was covered with the frozen skin of his beloved and started to freeze, in the end both of them were crystallized and the flowers started to bloom from their frozen bodies.
