LV: A Cabin in the Middle
“It doesn’t only take a prophecy, it takes the will, and the call to do it before you can create an entirely different world out of your hands.” CHAPTER LV: A Steep Up to a Cabin; Yet Another Strange Environment I COUGHED AND shivered as I managed to dock by the riverside, pushing Junkin and his mother to the mossy ground. “It was not rocky, what were you saying?” Meredith turned to the prince that was laughing quietly while leaning against a tree trunk. He was holding his stomach as he said: “Helga impressed me today.” He turned to the lady who was squeezing her top coat that was drenched in water. “I never thought any of you w

LVI: Map Read Wrong
“When life gives you lemons, you must first consider whether or not it is rotten.” CHAPTER LVI: A Little Rest Before the Possible Disaster; The Map Read Wrong? I LAY MY back on the big bed immediately upon entering the small cabin. Everybody docked their horses outside and went in immediately to change. The cabin’s size was fair. There was no one when we tried to call, but it was left ajar. The only question was… how could it be here in the middle of a dangerous land. I mean, I don’t think those monsters live in such a house the same as humans, so it was the safest to assume that somebody was here. A human, I mean. “Don’t look over here, assholes,” said Keterlind as she was facing the wall away from us,

LVII: Wild Eyed Window
“There are things that only a few can see. And there are things that all of them are able to deem, but choose to keep a blind eye.” CHAPTER LVII: Weird Eyes Over the Window; A Nightmare AS WE WERE supposed to, we made sure the dinner was quick. We would not want to be staying outside until the environment gets more dangerous. The horses were outside, but I doubt they would be attacked. They were on the front door anyway, it would not be too inconvenient to rescue them if something really does come up. And now, I could not sleep. We were on the ground. Actually there was only one bed in the cabin. A small one that could only fit one person — perhaps two if ne

LVIII: Moonly Jellydrippers
“Do understand that the things you overlook today is something that will be the most essential tomorrow. Know what you are capable of knowing. Learn what you are capable of learning.” CHAPTER LVIII: Moonly Jellydrippers; May, or May Not Be the Benevolence of These Stars Quite a few things in the world are impossible to understand. Perhaps, if you could see the stars, why couldn’t you touch them? If something creates electricity, what creates that something, and the creator of that something’s creator. It is all but an unending mystery this world is not brave enough to delve in further. However, we managed to accept that some things are not for understanding. And those things that are for understanding, are believed to be benevolent — righteous and is not an object for further questioning.

LIX: Warm Lights, Bulls, and a Wolf
“No one accepts half-hearted offers, unless one is willing to die just for it to change.” CHAPTER LIX: The Wolf, The Familiar Bulls, and the Warm Light; Bewildered But Not Surprised THE OLD MAN, Houlio Merto was paralyzed the next hour of the journey. He was being carried by us in what seemed to be a cart we quickly tried to build at the last minute. He would usually murmur about his back aching as though it was struck by lightning. He would let out quiet pants of struggle in between his breaths, and would hug himself to help ease the uneasy feeling in him, his back facing away from the ground. I have learned that whenever it was pressed, or plucked, or brushed by a rough material, it would sting like hell — just like what happened a little earlier when I tried to assist him to stand up, and he growled in pain

LX: Heaven Waterfall
“There is a fine line between good and bad. And that line, perhaps, could be the best option there is.” CHAPTER LX: Heaven Waterfall; The Village of Talking Animals THE REST OF us were not able to speak — too stunned to do so. From the wolf on top of the rock, the remaining number of their pact showed themselves out of the bushes and echoed the deep howls. No, it was not only a howl. There were whimpers, neighs, and quacking. There was not a pact of wolves alone… but an entire zoo, with a variety of animals of all kinds. So this was why there were no animals on the North-eastern part of this half. Because they reside here somewhere not easily seen. At the first minute, there was a long silence. Until someone broke the air.Last Updated : 2021-12-04Read more

LXI: The Disease Experts
“Today is not the day I fear. Neither, I fear that day would come.” CHAPTER LXI: Miracle Bestowed Upon Houlio Merto; The Disease Experts THE SURROUNDINGS BEGAN to move in haste. Everyone was shifting on their feet, busy with their own businesses. When they brought the old man inside, they left him still on a bed with him facing the pillow. We saw what was in his back, and it was awful. His skin started to turn pale while around those green circles — the Moonly Jellydrippers as big as cookies, blood was deprived. It turned a greyish purple. Looking at it, it made me want to fall on my knees. It looked torturous! “Will you folks please wait in this area, and trust us with this soul?” the otter asked. It was bright &mda

LXII: Heights & Confessions
“There is no such thing as overcoming your fear. Rather, conquering there is.” CHAPTER LXII: Heights & Confessions; Robin Molth and Helga Bach “YOU’RE NOT TELLING me you can’t cross this bridge, are you?” Helga yelled on the other side. I was at the edge of the open balcony, and I could see the ground, and the fast-pacing animals going everywhere either lower to us or up to the higher bridges. Neither of them seemed to have noticed us yet, but Helga was making sure she was making a scene.s “I’m not used to this,” I reasoned out. “Neither am I!” she yelled,

LXIII: Hospitality
“You know what’s the difference between liking someone and loving someone? When you like someone, you can promise to give up your lifetime with them, but when you love someone, you can’t risk just saying that. After all, a lifetime is scarcely enough for those who love.” CHAPTER LXIII: Meet Your Fans; The Hospitality of the Animals THERE WOULD ALWAYS be a time when you’d feel pure happiness with something so suddenly without having the knowledge that you would feel that way again. Say, when you were in a bad mood for instance, and you were walking to the market to buy something for dinner when you fatefully came across a cat staring at you — perhaps with its teeth bared as though it was smiling. Wouldn’t that make your heart flutter even at least for a moment? Last Updated : 2021-12-07Read more

LXIV: The First Human
“For when something leads you somewhere, it is giving you hope that another truth is about to unfold.” CHAPTER LXIV: The First Human; A Tale of the Man, the Lamb, and a Knife IT WAS A tale, a hundred centuries ago, when a naked man came down, descending from the sky, with his limbs all torn apart that only his head was the most visible and possible thing he had been made of. He was carrying a lamb on his one hand, and a knife — a big knife on the other. Then, as the people turned their eyes on him, he slowly vanished in the air, like an ash that was blown by the wind into bits that no one can ever hold again. The lamb, and the knife, fell to the land with great confusion — for none of the people in the area were able to get hold of it. For that reason, they had to move the lamb — which they soon fou
