The way to become the Great Sorcerer

Chapter 36: Ships anyone?

“My what a handsome young lad!” A tiny woman who has a stone body said to Damian. She was looking at him from above. Lucas stared at it. Seconds pass his face slowly distorts and screams on the top of his lungs.

“AHH!”

His screams echo throughout the entire land. As he jumps and hides and clings behind the guy beside him. Damian widens his eyes at his big reaction. He was completely taken aback. Such a tough guy can shriek like a woman.

“A bright young one too!” The woman said with a laugh. She then panned her head to look in the direction of Neveah and Larcade. She rolls headed towards them.

“My, what beautiful young people!” She complimented while taking their hands gently. Both of them stare at the tiny stone creature.

“Oh yes, I know!” Neveah said without an ounce of embarrassment. Larcade stared at his cousin dumbfounded. The woman chuckled and ruffled her hair when she crouched down on her level. She then began to say sweet things to Neveah in which Neveah gladly agree and nods at every compliment thrown at her. 'Narcissistic?'

Larcade and the other scan her from head to toes and though ‘Is she a stone woman or a rock woman?’ All of them can’t comprehend what to call the creature in front of them.

“And, all of you are a good pair!” All four of them flinched at what they heard. Kion’s laugh was heard in the background. The tiny creature stares at the standing three guys before walking towards someone and grabbing their hands.

“You two would make an exceptionally good pair!” The creature said. The owner of the hands stared at her before reacting. They both dropped their jaws and “HUH?!!” Damian and Neveah reacted. Disgust is painted on their faces as they both look at each other. ‘No way’ Both of them thought.

The creature giggled, amused by their reaction. “What is this?” Another set of tiny stone men and women come forth. Neveah and Damian frantically watch them get crowded around both Neveah and Damian. The little creatures exchange conversations. Telling each other that both Neveah and Damian do make a good ship.

“We’re not a good pair!” Both Neveah and Damian said at the same time. All of the creatures went silent then burst out laughing. “I love how you said it in unison!” The woman creature said. Larcade and Lucas stood there laughing at the two’s embarrassing situation. ‘Glad, I’m not the one they picked on,’ Both of them thought as they watch Neveah and Damian frantically deny the speculation.

Suddenly the tiny stone woman panned her head in Larcade and Lucas’s direction. Both of them halted and sweat nervously when the creature come up to them.

“What a nice body you have young man!” The creature approached Lucas, hold his hands, and pulled him closer that made Lucas knelt down to her level. His fear of the tiny creatures slowly faded away. The creature lock her eyes with Lucas as she gently placed her hands on his cheek. Lucas knelt there confused but not refuting at all.

“You have a certain fire in your eyes, young lad,” She said with a gentle voice. Lucas awkwardly laughs, “Is that sentence meant to be figuratively or literally?” Lucas asked as he recalls that he can produce fire all over his body.

The woman giggled at him before letting go of Lucas and looking at the man beside him. Larcade watch as the woman offered her hands. Larcade was hesitant at first but take it gently. The woman pulled him and was also knelt down.

“And, you,” The woman touched his cheeks just like how he did to Lucas. “You have such beautiful eyes. Your kindness and warmth radiate within you,” Larcade blush at the sudden compliment. ‘Kindness?’ Larcade scoffs bitterly at that word. He accidentally remember something that made him frown. Suddenly he felt two large hands on his that made him quickly lookup. Both Lucas and Larcade stared at each other for a second, “Just like the other two, you would make a good pair,” And because of what she said, their faces were painted red. They quickly retract their hands and look away embarrassed at what she said.

They panned their heads when they heard Damian and Neveah bickering. “That’s impossible no way no way no way!” Neveah said shouting at the tiny little rock people. Damian rolled his eyes at the attempt. Suddenly the Maine coon yawn in Neveah's bag and tug it indicating that he wants to get out.

Neveah took notice and carefully put it down on the ground. The Maine coon sniffs around before going out of the cat bag. It suddenly transforms into his regular lion form. Kion’s jaw dropped at the size difference. Ashmit was towering over him. “The cat you’ve been bringing along was a creature?!” Kion exclaimed. Ashmit looks down at Kion. Kion flinched at the intimidating stares the white lion gave. Suddenly, Ashmit moved his body down towards the terrified criosphinx. Kion froze in the spot. Ashmit moved his head towards Kion’s face and then licks it. Kion was soaked in its saliva that made him cringe in disgust.

Everyone in there laughed at Kion’s expression. Damian smiled and look into the tiny woman creature that approached them first. He walk down to her in which she noticed. “You might be wondering why we’re here,” Damian started. All of the creatures present there panned their heads and focus their attention on the demon.

“My name’s Damian and I’m a demon,” Damian stated and waited for the reaction of the creatures when he mentions the word ‘DEMON’ but he didn’t get what he expected so he just continued, “I’m the student of the former great sorceress, Isis Dewin.”

All of the creatures are eyes wide at the mention of Isis. They froze for a moment. “You are the former great sorceress student?” The woman in front of Damian stated.”Yes. And, we personally came here to formally ask you for some help.” The tiny creature tilted her head.

“Are you in trouble perhaps, dear?” She said with a frown on her face.

“Sort of,” Damian answered.

She smiled with a sigh. “Then you must meet him.” The creature gently hold his hand, Damian clashed his eyebrows. He was confused about the ‘him’ she meant.

“Umm, Excuse me, who is him?” Larcade leans onto his knees slightly bending his body. “He knows Isis, and he might be able to lend you a helping hand!” She exclaimed.

Damian clashed his eyebrows. Suddenly he heard a voice behind that made him jump. Neveah stared at him surprised that Damian was surprised by her presence, “What the f**k dude? I already told you I'm too pretty to be actually seen as a ghost. And the fact I'm talking about dark side creatures in front of Demon Is literally an ironic scene, Isn't it”

All of them just ignored what Neveah blab about. Larcade panned his head to Damia, waiting on his decision, “Are you certain that this guy would help us?” Damian asked.

“Oh yes, he is more like the leader of the town here!” The tiny woman creature started to walk away but before he could get far from them she raised her arms telling them to come, “Follow me!” Excitement laced in her voice.

“So this guy is like the knowledgeable grandpa? The character that we often see in fantasy or either action movies? The sensei? ” Lucas asked following behind Damian. “Maybe,” Neveah said beside him.

“Well, I wouldn’t say he’s a grandpa,” A small creature said below them. Both of them looked down surprised, “He is more like the neighborhood uncle.”

"A very loud and optimistic one,"
