The Forbidden Forest

The Way Back Home

When Deimos saw that the moon was gone, he moved his hands and, for the very instant of time, like a blink of the eyes, he said. "Now is the right time to go back to your kingdom." Deimos uttered, moving his hands like a queen that blew the dust by the finger tips. Celyn closed her eyes and as the darkness covered the whole place, she did not know what happened next. Deimos used his witchcraft powers that covered their body and lifted by the darkness. Celyn did not know that she was now floating together with Deimos. After a moment of pause, they reached the barriers between the Monandria and the dark forest which become a forbidden wall between them.

"Open your eyes." Deimos commanded Celyn as he finally touched the ground. Celyn was very amazed and she seems like horrified as he found herself at the front of the Monandria. She liked around and she was not wrong guessing what place was that. "M-onandria??"

Deimos looked at the enchanted Forest of Venom and said. " Yes you are right. It's Monandria, your kingdom. And it's a best time to explore this beautiful kingdom with you..." Deimos uttered with a glanced of hope that he could enter the kingdom without any signed of difficulty. However, as they stepped on the ground, how amazement that Deimos felt as he could not enter the same ground where Celyn was. He shrinkled his forehead as he realized that there were something that forced him not to go at the landmark where become the barriers between their Kingdom and the Monandria. "What the hell it is?" He muttered while soothing the invisible barriers that he could not know where it came from.

However, Celyn did not focused on Deimos because she was now staring at the beauty of the Monandria. Deimos from the other side of the barriers was amazed because even how many times that he tried to stepped forward, he could not make it and seemed like he was not allowed to enter the Monandria. " What the hell! Why I can't enter?" Deimos uttered while making a deep breath as he thought that there were a force that stopped him to execute his plan to go with Celyn inside the Forbidden forest of Monandria.

However, Celyn made a couple of steps and when she was far from Deimos, she felt that she was alone walking in the midst of the night. She looked back and said. "Deimos? Where are you?" Celyn asked as she found out that Deimos was not following her. She stopped for sudden while her mind was filled by curiosity. When Deimos heard the question of Celyn, he suddenly smiled and said, "ahmmmm I think I need to go back at my kingdom, the moon was fading and I have no time to spend more time here." Deimos pretended. Celyn billowed her eyebrows and shrugged her shoulder as she felt that there were something wrong with Deimos. "Are you sure Deimos? B-but as far as I remember, you wanted to be with me inside my Kingdom?" Celyn uttered as she wanted to find a way to know why Deimos wanted to go back earlier.

Deimos shook his head and said, " my son waiting me this time... I never expected that your kingdom was too huge enough that can take a long time if we explored it in almost a very short period of time."

Celyn sighed and uttered, " if you wish to go back at your kingdom, why not?" At that moment, Deimos felt that there were a thorn that removed on his throat for the moment that he heard Celyn letting him to go back at Desdemonian. "Ohhh...that's nice to hear..." Deimos replied with a glanced of hope. However, even Celyn told Deimos to go back at Desdemonian, she have a bad feelings toward Deimos which seemed like read by Deimos. "Ahmm, don't ever think that I'm not trustworthy person, I'm just wanted to make sure that my son will never find me anywhere because all he know is I'm always at home taking care at him." Deimos suddenly uttered with something bothered on his voice. Celyn, who was standing in the other side of the invisible barriers have no idea why Deimos wanted to go back instead of joining her toward the forbidden forest. She did not know that Deimos could not make a step toward her because of the invisible barriers that only Celyn could enter as the course that Venom made before he was pierced by the poisonous arrow of the Halloxian army. Because Celyn was inside the Monandria at the time that "Ahmmm it's okay, I'll must to go..." Celyn sudden said that made Deimos to feel better. After she threw some words toward Deimos, she started to make a couple of steps. "Are you sure you are walking alone?" As he continued, he made a step backward to stay away from the invisible barriers. "Do you want to travel faster?" Deimos added that made Celyn to stop for a sudden. Celyn stopped again without looking back at Deimos. "How?" She briefly asked. Deimos smiled while raising his right hands protected by silver lined leather gloves and said. "My power."

Celyn slowly moved her head and stared at Deimos without moving her feet to be apart. "Power? How it can be useful?" Celyn said. Deimos shook his head as said, "until now you did not trust me." Celyn smiled and replied. "I don't mean it, but if you wanted why not?"

After a moment of pause, Deimos ready himself to show Celyn the power that he had. As he brought his hand down, he closed his eyes and even his face was protected by the black iron mask, his eyes was shown as it's closed. He sighed and continued calling the wind somewhere to blow Celyn toward the place she wanted to go.

After a while, Deimos kept on closing her eyes but even how many times that he called the wind, he could not make any movement to bring his power toward Celyn inside the invisible barriers. "Aggghhhhh...what happening?" He muttered as he stopped doing what he wanted to do. However, Celyn from the other side kept on waiting to the action that Deimos wanted to execute.

Moment later but Deimos could not make to release his power. He opened his eyes and shook his head. He never expected that his power have no ability to execute because of the forced that Deimos felt inside the place where they were. He breath deeply while his veins seemed like stretching as he felt something anger as he could not make his power to execute.

"What's now?" Celyn uttered who kept on standing at the other side. Deimos felt ashamed as he heard the words of Celyn asking her what's going on. Deimos stepped forward and said, "ahmmmm, I think that there are something that calling me out there." Deimos pretended. Celyn bellowed her eyesbrows and for a little bit of time she shook her head. "Hysttt...okay...so, what are going to do now?" Celyn asked. Deimos shrinkled his forehead because of shame that he felt that moment. "I must to go, goodbye." Deimos said briefly. "ahmmmm..." Celyn could not finish her words because like a wind, Deimos flew faster. "Waitttt..." Celyn added but it's too late because Deimos quickly disappeared in the dark.

"Hystttt..." She muttered. Celyn stared at the place where Deimos gone and she hoping that there were a sign that Deimos give on her because he leaves but every thing she supposed to happens was gone as she waited for so long after Deimos was gone. "He left me...hysttt. Maybe he have urgent thing to do." She thought.

Suddenly, as he kept on standing in the midst of the night, she felt the cold breeze that blowing toward her. She turned around to know where it came from. She visited every corner of the place but she could not see anything around. "Hysttt, he came back." She muttered as she thought that it might be Deimos. However, after a while as Deimos gone, she heard something so familiar behind her.

"What are you doing here?" The husky voice uttered that made Celyn to rounded her eyes and her heart beats abnormally. She know where that voice coming from, she felt something familiar. Her skinned shown ghostbumbs. Her long black hair were swayed as the wind blew. She slowly turned around to see the man behind her. She did not know what she going to do as she saw the man talked at her. She swallowed the saliva that stocked on her mouth and begun to reply even her voice was trembling. "Ve-Venom? Why are you here?" She asked. Even the place was dark, she know that the man standing at the darkness was Venom because of the clothes that he wearing. He looked like a live shadow that standing firmly like a great soldier that shown the beauty of his appearance. Celyn was shocked as she heard again the voice of Venom. "Why are you throwing back the question I ask on you?" Venom suddenly replied with firm voice that made Celyn to feel frightened. "A...ahmmm I'm just walking alone looking for you." Celyn responded with a remarked of fear that drawn on her face.

Venom walked toward her, every step that Venom created made her soul to lift up. She felt that there were something that catched her soul. "W-what are you doing?" Celyn asked as she saw Venom walking closer to her. She step backward to stay away from Venom. Celyn kept on walking backward however, a huge tree suddenly made her to stuck. She felt the rough skinned tree that lead her to stop and wait Venom to make a movement closer to her. Her tantalizing eyes kept on staring at the man who were walking with a light step on the ground. "Are you kidding me?" Venom uttered as he reached the distance where Celyn stuck in. "What are you saying?" Celyn replied with fear. Venom stopped and raised his right hand on the top of Cely's head. He moved very closer at Celyn and stood while his eyes kept on staring at Celyn's face. His body was inclined supported by his strong arm. His warmed breath was felt by Celyn that perfectly matched with the cold surrounding. Celyn slowly closed her eyes and place her both hands near at her chest to protect herself to the movement that Venom might execute. "Hystt...what damn he doing?" Celyn muttered as she closed her eyes tightly.

"Are you sure you wanted to find me or you wanted to go beyond the invisible barriers?" Venom asked. Celyn was shocked because she realized that she go beyond the invisible barriers but she did not encountered some wood animals or a cruel powerful witchcraft user in her way toward the Desdemonian. She stopped for sudden and thought that Venom might be mistaken in telling her about the behavior of the Desdemonian witches. "Why are you timid?" Venom added with a sharped tone of voice. Celyn slowly opened her eyes and how amazement that she felt as she saw again the hidden appearance of the young man standing too closer at her. Every time that she looked at the eyes of Venom, she saw the thousand of stars that seemed like a gazing area that could catched the attention of her. However, even the eyes of Venom shone like a star at night, she felt something scary because of the facial expression of Venom. His eyebrows were bellowed and his kissable lips were closed tightly that might be the signed that he was totally mad.

"Ahhhmmm...So-sorry but I'm telling the truth...I looking for you, a-and my feet bring me here. B-but I never go beyond the invisible barriers like what you told me before." She stated with trembled voice. She never known that Venom was the only one who see the invisible barriers because he was the mastermind why it have. Venom looked around, he recalled the things happened before when he saw Celyn. Even the position when he found Celyn a moment ago. He totally convinced himself that Celyn telling the truth because she was too far from the position of the invisible barriers.
