Mission 20: Follow the Way Where It Could Lead You to Answers
GREY was sleepy. Too sleepy. He was the only one awake that time for all of them were drunkly asleep.
He didn' t drink that much. Because he already know how it feels last last time.
He stood up to get more firewoods. They were still gathered outside. He have to keep the fire going.
He was about to go back, while hugging a bunch of fire woods, when a small ball of light appeared just a few meters away from him. That made him stop. And then, another small ball of light appeared.
"Grey, " the light sang.
One by one appears after the other. He wasn't sure but he heard those small ball of lights whispering a soft chant of his name.
"Grey. Grey. Grey."
The lights were lined up towards the forest nearby.
He put down what he was holding. After that, he found out that he was already following where they were calling gor him. It was like he was hypnotized.
It feels like deja vu.
HE took a sigh after Amber left. He felt on his hands the sword she bought for him.
"Damn! This hands were not really for battle. I still can't get used to it. If only it would be easy to defeat the dragon. "
He took another sigh, deeper than the first one.
"Why am I here in the first place? Damn! If only someone could give me answers," he said and raggedly brushed his hair.
He have to go home. He raised his hand to get a carriage for himself. But then he remembered he have not enough money. He bought his coins for Amber's drink earlier.
"Damn ! " Out of frustration, he kicked a small stone nearby.
It was just then when he saw a light.
It was a familiar ball of light approaching him. It was floating in the air and he can't seem to avoid his gaze from that thing.
Now, he remembers. It was that the same ball of light that appears the first time he was suvked in to Enchantria.
When the ball of light finally was near him, it moved and changed dirrction.
Without thinking, he followed its direction. After a few meters away from the market, the ball of light finally stopped.
The longer he focus his eyes on the ball, the clearer he saw what it really is. Something is inside that bright ball. And he's squinting his eyes hard so he could just see it.
First, he saw a fluttering pink wings. Soon, a small body was seen. It was a tiny human.
It was not a ball of light. It was a small person with wings!
He couldn't believe what he just saw. It even made him stepped back.
But as soon as he took a step, he bumped to someone.
"Hey! Watch it! " Amber exclaimed from behind.
"Amber? What are you still doing here?" he asked.
"How about you? What are you doing here? You're just staring at blank space like you just lost your mind."
"I just saw a fairy. It was a small person with wings. I never thought I could see one in my life. I thought it was just a ball of light," he said excitedly.
Amber's forehead crumpled. "A tiny person with wings?" she asked.
"Yes. It was just this tiny. And it was just here. "
He turned around to show her what he saw but then he found out it was already gone.
Next thing he knew was Amber pulled his sword and aimed it to his neck.
"What are you doing?" he nervously asked her.
"You did saw a pixie?" she asked.
"Pixie? " he asked too.
YES. Those little chanting lights were pixies. He never seen this many pixies. And is he really hearing them chanting his name? Are they really calling for him.
He never thought that there are too many pixies. He only one picie and that is Dandelion.
"Dandelion," he unconsciously uttered her name.
"Have you call for me?" a tiny voice asked behind his ear.
He turned around and there he saw the little lady with her shining bright wings.
"What with the line? " he asked as he turned his gaze upon those ball of lights. Staring at them for longer time, their faces began to reveal on him.
They were little humans, dressed with natures' things. Some were were petals dresses. Boys wore twigs to cover up their torso. Others even wear head dresses and hlitters on their face. Their wings sparkles like that of a diamond under the bright aun on a clear sunny day.
"Didn't you heard our flutters? " she asked as she rolled and flipped back.
Yes. He thought he heard them chanting his name but he wasn't sure.
"I heard them. But I'm not sure of it."
She giggled. She signaled him to move his ears to her.
"They were chanting for you. Can't you hear our flutters? We are calling for you. We are chanting your name, summoned one," she whispered.
That made his forehead crumpled in confusion.
Summoned one? Is she for real?
"Summoned one? " he asked as if he doesn't have any idea of what she is talking about.
"My flutters tells me. Our flutters saw what you did on the fire. And by the waterfalls a while ago. We just waited for you to have your time. Actually, we were waiting for you long ago."
"For me? " He has been waiting by them? So, was he summoned by the dark side? The villan side?
"My flutters says yes. Especially her," she said.
"Her?" Again, he asked.
"If you follow the few more pixies, it will lead you to the waterfalls where you can meet her, " she said as she flew higher.
"What if I won't go any further?" he asked.
"Don't you wanna know the answers to your questions? " She sighed. "Just go. My flutters say that she doesn't want to keep waiting. Or else she'll definitely burn these forest by one strike."
His eyes widened. Burn this forest, she means that it was what he was thinking of.
Without any more words, he continued to to take his way to where they were leading him to.
By the bottom of the waterfalls, where they made a fire earlier.
"What took you so long? " asked the woman in a black robe with a leghth kissing the ground.
