Chapter 264: To The New Land (Part 2)

Shera Rigen's perspective

...

...

...

...

Hours have passed since the previous incident. Right now, we are on the backside of the village, sitting on the chopper. Lieutenant Rivia and her men are coming to see the King to hand him the report of the failed mission. When they finish it, they'll return here.

I sit on the chopper along with John and Reimi, we don't say anything. We go silent, just as the scenery around us. My emotions are quite... I don't know what to describe. Both happy and sad, and the nervous is somewhere between them.

I'm... scared. I shouldn't have told Rivia to state the report to be that honest. I should've told her to cover up the truth to erase my husband's guilt. Although my husband did bad things earlier, he should have another chance... to atone.

He killed that married couple with the excuse to "save us". However, I've been rethinking that circumstance many times till this time. I know, killing Tanrelli was... somehow to be considered hard to avoid.

But killing his wife, that crime cannot be cleared. It's pointless, very nonsense to kill that elven woman guard. John could've left the woman there to be arrested by the guards, not killing her that brutally and then excusing.

But the incident is the past now, it had happened so cannot change it. I must do something to protect John. King Ralla may set up a very harsh punishment for my husband's crime. I must clear his guilt, must save John.

What a bad day. Today is the day that I know I'm pregnant, that's a very good news to me. Until this incident happened and ruined it. I'm scared that something bad will happen to John, and I don't want it.

When I'm nervous, someone suddenly hugs me, and it turns out to be John. My husband cuddles my face, then gazes at me. As if he is saying "everything will be ok".

"My Highness... they're here". - Reimi suddenly spoke up

I look in the direction in which she is looking, I spot Rivia's group. The group is returning here after reporting to the King about the mission. The scene looks fine, until I notice something. There's also another group following Rivia's group from behind.

"Eg i, yug, l'ew b niog". (Get in, guys, we'll be goin' ). - Rivia reminded her men of something in Deranic language (the Demon's native language)

Those KR (Knight Ranger) soldiers start boarding the DH - 1 helicopter. Pilots are already sitting in their seats. The squad members who are combatants, are choosing their own seats. When everyone is inside the chopper, Rivia finally gets in.

"Behave well, Naegres (Sergeant)". - She said to my husband something, then moved to the pilots' position

Before us right now are King Ralla and his fierce elven Royal guards. They don't behave hostile to us at all. However, the King's look at my husband shows me a big disappointment, deep inside his eyeballs. The man sighs, then raises his open palm.

"Many of my men want to rip you off, Sir Rigen". - Then he lowered his hand. "But as I've ordered them earlier, they can't do it unless I allow 'em to". "My trust had been put in a wrong guy... I've chosen... a wrong one to trust... it's you".

"What're you gonna do to me?". - My husband stared at the King, John seems to be nervous, but he seems to be... dangerous too

"Seems like I can only trust Lady Sarah the most, her Commander isn't as trustworthy as her". "Get outta here, that's what I want you to do, leave this village".

".................". - John stayed silent, as if he was waiting for something else

"From now on, you'll have to accomplish that mission without my help". - King Ralla looked at John seriously. "This village may welcome you, you can stay here... but no one is gonna help you". "Thanks to you, now we're gonna have another tension moment with Warsaw to retrieve our dead men". - Done saying, the King turned around, purposing to leave the area with his men

"Don't joke with our temper... make more friends, don't make us your enemies". - He walked away, not looking back

When the King and his men are out of our sight, the atmosphere becomes normal once again. That tense moment has gone, so fast. Right after that, something is thrown away from the helicopter. It turns out to be a cigarette, Rivia... once again.

"Can you please stop throwing things around, Sir Rivia?". - Reimi spoke up before me

My servant's right. The smell from the thing called "cigarette" is bad, terrible. Those tiny things are even thrown outside. It may affect the wonder habitat of the elven's living places.

"Oh, sorry... I forgot there's one pregnant here". - The Lieutenant later put back her untouched cigarette in a pack. "By the way, that guy is nicer than I thought". - She looked up, watching the outside scene of the village

"That Monarch?". - I asked her

"Yeah...". "Who knows, maybe I can be able to "make peace" with him if you allow me to". - Done saying, she glanced at her men, grinning

"Hw tnaw m t olb ih t "kam caep", hah?" ". (Who wants me to blow him to "make peace", hah?). - She grinned hard while asking her men

"Gis m u ot, Is!". (Sign me up too, Sir!). "La o u ioj ot!". (All of us join too!). - Her men raised their hands, smirking like their Commander

"You asshole!". - She scolded them by using our language, then looked at us. "Man, I don't think I can handle all of them, ya know...?". "Help me?". - I don't understand what she means

"Hey, I was just kidding, boy". - She stepped away a little bit when my husband glanced at her eyes. "Just trash talks, relax... it's rare to have moments like this after times of combat". - Then she didn't care to look at John anymore

"Oh, someone's coming here". - Reimi spoke up once again

We look outside, and then she the prophet. The girl can be seen approaching the helicopter, she is... carrying our Alrotz military backpacks. I see that Yura is struggling to walk, so we come out to help her, by receiving the bags.

"Thank you very much, Yura". - I thanked her while I was taking my Alrotz bag

"Thanks for caring about us, Lady Yura". - Reimi thanked her while taking the two remaining bags. "Oh, nod...". - My husband ordered Reimi to give him a bag, she handed it to him with a nod

"You should rest, Shera...". - John also took my bag too, he cares about me because I'm pregnant

"I saw the Bird landing here, but didn't see you guys return home so I got here". - Yura explained to us, and... somehow the prophet hasn't known anything yet. "His Majesty was quite odd earlier, he said you guys won't stay here anymore". "So I brought these bags here to you... they were quite light till I carried the third one". "Urgh...". - She moaned while touching her back, straightening her pose

"Maybe we have to say goodbye here now, Ms. Yura". - Her Highness said goodbye to the prophet. "For now, we'll be under the care of those people... we will do our best to finish the mission too". - She showed the prophet the KR soldiers inside the chopper

"Eh...?". - The prophet seemed to be confused. "What happened...? The first solution failed or what?". - She looked at every one of us. "Still have the second one, the Elder had taught me the way to locate the land's coordinate, we are appointed to be following you guys in the next go"

"Thanks for your help but maybe we won't need it anymore".

"Why...?". - She seems to be very blinded, she hasn't known why we have to leave

"In that mission, my husband did something wrong and made his bodyguards killed". - I should say the truth to her, nothing to hide. "So His Majesty decided to ask us to accomplish this mission ourselves without his help". "We have to leave because of that... I guess he didn't tell it to you at all, prophet".

"What a pity...". - She looked at us with an unpleasant face. "Under her care? But where would you go next?". - She glanced at Rivia's squad a few times while asking us

"We're gonna get 'em to the Demon Kingdom first, prophet". - The Lieutenant suddenly spoke up. "They need to meet up with Her Majesty, then we'll take 'em to the land of God...". - She came out of the helicopter, slowly approached the girl

"We may become allies in the future, Sir... but I'm still concerned about the way you take care of the-". "................". - Not finished the line, Yura stayed silent mysteriously

"What's your plan, Sir...?". - Then she asked the Lieutenant a big question. "The way you come to the God's land to meet up with the Apostles, then ask for their help to convince humans to join your alliance".

"Hey, can I...?". - I raised my hand, asking both of them to let me have a turn to talk

"Actually... she had cleared with us about the plan when we were on our way back here". "We weren't intending to follow her group, but the outcome seems to have led us to this decision". "By the way, we can take care of ourselves, thanks for caring about us". - I gazed at the prophet's eyes, telling her that we would be safe on our own

"..............". - Yura kept silent. "Please gimme a minute, don't go yet, please". - She suddenly turned around, then ran into the village fastly. "Wait till I return, please don't go now!".

When the prophet is out of our sight, all of us wonder what she's up to. Rivia doesn't seem to be caring about it, she returns to the helicopter. While we stand there, trying to wait for her. A few minutes pass by, but we haven't seen the prophet yet... it's odd.

"Umm...". - All of sudden, my husband grabbed my waist, then pulled me closer to him

"What?".

"It's good when I wasn't punished". - John held me tighter, his eyes told me that he wants to kiss me

I don't say anything, just enjoy John's big hug. To be honest, I'm relieved to know that my husband is fine right now. Although he did bad things earlier... but I can't deny that, my husband still has guilty.

I think I must do something to help John get over his mental problems, especially his violent mindset. He's a victim of a distorted childhood, he needs someone to understand and lead him to the right path.

"Please don't do it again...". - I grabbed his hand, holding it gently and sweetly

"Hey, I've returned!". - When I was having a short moment to make up with my husband, Yura suddenly returned

When the prophet comes to us, she starts gasping while lowering her face. She gets sweating a bit, but not much. My eyes remind Reimi to check on Yura. My servant approaches the prophet silently, checking on her.

"I'm fine, I'm fine". - She gently waved to tell Reimi to get away from her path

"Why are you so hurry?". - I asked her, but Yura didn't reply but headed to the chopper for no reason

"Lieutenant, are you there?". - She wanted to meet Rivia?

"Oh, again...?". - Rivia peeked out of the heli's door, she was having a chat with her men or something

"May I join you guys to come to Demon Kingdom?".

"Huh...?". - The Lieutenant got confused, she stepped out of the chopper

"What do you mean by that?". - We also approached the prophet to find out the reason she demanded that

"Listen... please listen". - She turned to glance at both sides, raising her palms out to ask us to listen. "Actually... I ran away earlier to ask for His Majesty's approval...". - She looked at both sides while lowering her hands. "I want to leave the village and follow you guys to Demon Kingdom".

"Eh eh eh, we haven't discussed this with the King". - Lt. Rivia stepped closer to the prophet, pointing at her as if to warn her. "What if something bad happens to you when you are with us? Who'll have the responsibility for this?".

"Don't worry, I'll take it". - Yura tapped on her chest, promising to us. "Part that it's my personal wish, I only follow you guys just in a week, just stay in a week". "Another part, His Majesty's given me another duty too". "I'll become a representative of Jung Kingdom". "I come to your country to speak with Her Majesty, is also to form an alliance with you guys too".

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"What's your personal purpose for joining us?". - I asked Yura, once again

"I feel that... you guys won't be safe with 'em". - She told us. "Part that I also want to find Sarah and Hatano". "Just wondering how are they doing after three years long...". - Oh my... a lie has led to a big misunderstanding

"Uhhh...". - The three of us glanced at each other, feeling nervous but trying to hide our true emotions

"Hey... wait a bit". - I took my confidence to speak with her. "How do you know that you can meet them when you follow us, Yura?". "They've parted ways with us, we just said to each other that we would reunite with each other in this village, that's it". "By the way, I don't know where they are and have they finished their goals yet...".

"I've tried to observe them when you guys were on your mission but...". - I don't understand what she is explaining yet, but I'll listen, maybe John knows about this. "I couldn't see them at all, the scene in my presence was very... blurred and dark...". - They're dead, Yura... please don't find them anymore

"But I believe that I can see them again by following you guys, that's it". - No no no no, it'll be a very terrible choice

"Can't believe that the King is dumb enough to send a girl whose knowledge of politics and other shit is nothing to ally with us...". - Rivia whispered something very swiftly, then she left the place to return to the helicopter. "You wanna join, I don't care, I care about summoned heroes like him". - While entering the chopper, she neglectedly allowed Yura to join the team. "If you can't take it during this flight, we'll drop you back here, kid...". "Don't waste our time, girl... the world's going to die".

When there are only the four of us standing here, we all want to flee from this prophet to enter the heli. We look at each other, then make a nod. She can't join us, we must decline Yura. Letting her join the team only makes things go worse, especially if she finds out Sarah and Hatano are gone and never come back.

"We're sorry but... no, you can't join us, Ms. Anderson". "Goodbye, we'll return to the village when the mission is done solved". "They may come to this place when we're following Rivia, please be patient till they are here...". - After that, we turned around and fastly entered the chopper without looking back

"But I still have my mission given by His Majesty, I'm allowed to join you guys". "Hey, please...!". "Let me join, what's wrong with you...?". - We didn't reply or look back, just entered the helicopter

We come inside the chopper, then take our seats, sitting there breathing. We're so relieved that she did not follow us, we feel... relaxed. The pilots can be seen waiting for their Commander's order to start the engine. Other KR soldiers sit tight, some chat silently in Deranic language.

To wait till the engine gets turned on, we start storing our Alrotz bags. We place those things under our seats, which helps us preserve the space of the helicopter. Finishing the problem, we sit tight together. My husband suddenly hugs me gently.

"Hey, I'm sorry for what I did to you, John...". - I stayed in his chest, making up with him

"You did nothing wrong, Shera". "Kiss...". - He cuddled me, even kissed my hair. "Oh, Shera...". - He enjoyed my scents, he hugged me tighter then enjoyed closing his eyes to feel the pleasure

"I wonder what happens when the world's saved...".

"We'll have kids and enjoy our life, Shera... just like before". - Yeah, we surely will, John

Although, his words have some issues. Now we have to restart everything from zero. Career, a house, things for ourselves... we don't have anything right now, just us and our empty hands ahead.

I was born to live as a Princess, having a luxurious life that everyone dreams of. But I decided to pick a husband, a man whose past is a mystery, whose mind has issues. He isn't even rich, he just... cares about me.

I love John, I know our lives will struggle... especially when we don't have much money with us. However, money can be earned by working... but time and happy moments like this won't return when they pass away.

We may live in hard time, but we'll be together. I can't rely on my family's background. Must find a job like my husband too. But I'll be at home to be a housewife to make sure our kids have the best environment to grow and develop their own talents.

I may depend on my husband about the money. Because I'll be at home, working as a housewife to run the family and take care of our kids. Hmmm... then Reimi should find a job to help us on this too, on behalf of me.

To say about Reimi... she's staring at us. I'll ignore her, she can't do anything but gets jealous when my husband is in my hands, not hers... heh.

"Like this...?". - All of sudden, Yura's voice came out nearby us

"Yeah, like that". - Rivia is guiding someone to use the heli's seat belt, wait... wait wait wait!

"Hgirla, 'tel vom uo, Regnar!". (Alright, let's move out, Rangers!). - She shouted something to the pilots, then the chopper started its engine

"Wait wait wait wait wait!". - How did she get in here?!!!

John Rigen's perspective

Just somehow... the prophet managed to board the chopper when we weren't noticed. She followed us though she was rejected. Unfortunately, she was inside the heli when it started flying up the sky. We had no choice but to bring Yura with us.

Till this time, we've been traveling on this helicopter for about 7 to 8 hours now. The sky is going dark outside, the evening is about to come in no time. I wonder what would we do next, because I think we're about to land.

Besides me is my wife. Next to Shera is Reimi, then Yura. They're all sleeping on their seats, their faces also tilt to each other. Meanwhile, the Lieutenant's group doesn't relax at all, they're working with something like a radio.

About me, I'm sitting there, eating an orange fruit that looks like an apple. During our flight, we had to stop by somewhere several times to have a little break and solve "private issues". During those moments, we also picked up some native fruits there.

"Na oitats uo reht, iht i Ranger aet, d oy poc, evo?". (Any Station out there, this is Ranger team, do you copy, over?). - Lt. Rivia tried to communicate with something through the radio attached to the pilot's seat on the chopper, but failed when no one picked up

"Eliaf!". (Failed...). - She returned the radio to the pilots, then made her face covered in her palm. " 'Nevah ehcaer ht edrob o uo rtnuoc ey, w lits ey t ctac ht angis o a oitats". "Haven't reached the border of our country yet, we still yet to catch the signal of a station). - She talked to the pilots, they nodded to Rivia when she pointed below

The Lieutenant shortly leaves the pilot's seat, she whispers to other soldiers in her units small and quietly. Then she approaches me, crouching with a sigh from her mouth. Rivia looks a bit tired, she taps my shoulder. But I soon put her hand away from me.

"We're about to land, Naegres, get your girls ready".

"The reason?".

"We're low on fuel, and we haven't reached our country yet, we're near but haven't caught the signal of even a radio station".

"How far from here to your nation?".

"About... half of an hour". - Rivia later looked up. "By the way, we need to refuel our chopper, it take us overnight". "We have no choice but to stay here overnight, we'll be landing very soon".

"Alright...". - I nodded to her. "I'll tell them, go back to work as always, like you should be, Lieutenant".

"Roger...". - Rivia later returned to her men, awaiting for the chopper to come down

To announce to my group, I start tapping my wife's shoulder, then pat her head to wake her up. After a few times trying, Shera finally opens her eyes, though she's still a bit sleepy. My wife suddenly grabs my hand gently, relaxing freely.

She returns to sleep after waking up, huh?

"Wake up, Shera...". - I gently shook her shoulder, then she looked up to see me

"?".

"I'm sorry to say this... we're about to land". "We haven't reached there yet, so have to land in somewhere down there to stay overnight".

"Eh...?". - She was quite surprised, a bit confused while moving slowly to get up. "Reimi... prophet, wake up...". - She started shaking those girls, hoping they to wake up

"We'll come down first to watch the place, Naegres". - Lt. Rivia turned to glance at me, talking. "We'll set up a camp, we lack of rations too so may have to hunt some animals...". - The soldier who sat next to the heli's door started opening up the door for Rivia to come out

When Rivia is out of the chopper, her men start coming out. Only the two pilots stay inside, they slowly turn off the chopper's engine. One of them later glances at us as if to tell us to go outside.

"Wait...". - I asked them to wait till we finish our things

I return to see my wife and others in my group. Reimi is opening her eyes, she rubs one of them and seems to be... still sleeping as well. Meanwhile, Yura is still there, sleeping. It may take my wife some time to wake the two of them up completely.

"I'll get it done, let me do the brief, John". - Hearing my wife said that to me, I just nodded

"I'll check outside". - Finished speaking, I walked outside but she held my sleeves back

"Kiss...". - My wife kissed my forehead before we got away from each other to solve the issues on our own

I step out of the chopper, and a tropical forest scenery catches my eyes. Rivia's men are standing next to her. Some walk around to check the area with their rifles pointing around, while some just stand still and watch.

The twilight can be seen from this side, the sun is coming down quietly. Just a few minutes after this moment, the sky will be filled with darkness. We have to set up a camp before that time comes.

I glance around the forest to see more, but then I stop doing that. Instead, I focus on the Lieutenant's group behaviors, they are doing something, working together. I come closer to see what they are doing. Then I see that some soldiers are crouching, watching a map in hand, while reading the compass.

"What're you doing?".

"Calculating the coordinate from this area to the nearest southside of my country". - Rivia replied to me

"You know where is this place?".

"Trozantine, Beastmen Kingdom... welcome to the new land, Sir".

"Where are we exactly?". - All of sudden, my wife came out from the chopper with others, she immediately asked Rivia

"Trozantine, Princess...". - Then the black elf woman glanced at the map which was held by her radioman. "A forest from the north side of the Beastmen Kingdom, away from my country's border about 30 minutes flight".

"We'll stay here overnight?". - Reimi wondered when she saw me approaching her

I answer her with a nod, then return to my group, checking on 'em. The prophet has woken up already, but her eyes are still sleepy, to me. She's still walking with aid from Reimi. My wife is now looking at the scenery around us, the tropical forest area.

"Is this a forest...? It looks so different from the ones I used to see". - My wife is surprised, this is her first time seeing a tropical forest

"The place does have cold but... there's no snow around here". "My Highness, this place's very odd, no snow in the winter". - Reimi also acted the same way, she looked at the grass, then around the place to find the snow

"It's greener than our place too, look how many trees are over there". - My wife pointed to an area that has lots of trees, from the small to the big ones. "Oh, these things are odd, don't you see, John?". - It's actually how a tropical forest looks like, Shera

Unlike the temperate climate in Human Continent, this place is "tropical". Back in Shera's homeland and its neighboring areas, the habitat of nature is similar to Eastern Europe in my old world. However, this place is a big difference from that one.

"In my world, forests like this belong to areas called "tropical", this place is a similar one".

"Oh...". - Shera and Reimi got surprised from hearing me. "Wait, wait...". - She started whispering to her servant. "Raptu, now I remember my old friend... her country has this kind of "tropical", right?".

"We'll be setting a camp here, girls". - Lt. Rivia came before my wife then started speaking to us. "Pilots will take care of the Bird, some will set up the camp... making fire, taking logs and branches, stuff...". - Instead of explaining to me, she explained things to do to my group members

"Naegres, help my men on hunting or setting up the camp, can't you?". - Then she looked at me, asking

"Nod nod...". "Alright, I'll see what I can do, Lieutenant".

"Nice...". - Then Rivia took out a cigarette. "You girls stay over there, just rest, okay?". - She pointed to an empty ground which has a small lake ahead to tell my people to rest there. "Men work big things, we women work small things... just relax and leave things for them to solve".

"May I do something to help them?". "I want the camp to be set up faster". - My wife suggested helping us to set up the camp faster

"Up to you". - The Lieutenant put the cigarette in her mouth

"Let's go around and pick up fruits or anything can be used as food, Reimi". - My wife started walking slowly to the dense tree area, she asked Reimi to follow her. "Ummm, please take care of Yura". - The prophet is sitting on the ground, sleeping. Shera had no choice but to ask Rivia to look after her

"Wait, Shera, wait". "Rest, you're pregnant, just rest". - However, I stopped my wife from doing that

"It's not a heavy work, John, I'll be careful". - I told you to rest, don't make me worried!

"Hold up, I'll be back...". - Rivia suddenly turned around and then stepped inside the helicopter

All of us stand there, waiting for her return. A short moment passes, and the Lieutenant returns to us with our Alrotz military backpacks. We had forgotten to take those things out of the chopper when it landed. Fortunately that the Lieutenant brought these things back to us.

But not just three Alrotz bags, Rivia also brings us something like a book. That's a book with an orange cover, she pulled it out of her military helmet when she reached our place.

"Are these yours?". - She dropped the three Alrotz bags on the ground, before us

"Nod...". "Thanks for taking them for us, we forgot...".

"Another thing". - She approached my wife, then handed her the orange book before closing her helmet

"Ummm... what's this?". - Shera wondered, she opened the book and started flipping the pages. "Reimi, see it?". - She told Reimi to look inside the book for some reason

"What is this thing, Sir Rivia?". - Reimi asked the Lieutenant when my wife was still looking at the inside of the orange book

"A textbook, writes about nature of this Kingdom, its wildlife". "Look up to it, it'll tell you about names of the wildlife of this place". "You will know what's edible , what isn't... animals are mentioned in here as well".

"But we can't read it...". - My wife stopped flipping the pages, she gazed at the Lieutenant

"Oh... I forgot it". - Rivia approached my wife, then retrieved the book. "Yeah... just a small mistake of mine". - Although she said that, her face shows me that she is very embarrassed

"I'll help you to do the thing, girls... I'll be teaching you".

"Ednammoc, w een rom doow! Nes ih reh!!!". (Commander, we need more woods! Send him here!!!). - All of sudden, Rivia's men yelled something to let us hear

We look behind, then see the way those KR soldiers are working together. The camp hasn't been set up yet, but the campfire is about to be done. However, they seem to be in need of more logs, and branches to have the sources to start the fire.

"They're callin' you, Sergeant". - Rivia teasingly told me to give her men a hand

"I hope you won't mind allowing me to be away from you a bit, my Highness". - All of sudden, Reimi said odd things to my wife, then rushed to a tree and torn out of a big and thick branch

"What do you mean?". - My wife asked her confusedly

"I think I should be helping them fast too". "This lake may have fishes or anything like it, I'll hunt some for dinner". - Done saying, Reimi rushed to the lake... although she hasn't finished molding a pointy tip on the top of the branch

"Then who'll take care of her, me?". - I asked the three of them that who would look after Yura

"Wait for me, Lieutenant!". - My wife immediately dropped off her purpose. "Lemme, lemme do that, lemme!". - Before I got my hands to the prophet, my wife's carried her in her hands, very tight

What's wrong with my wife...? She's getting jealous or something?

I don't say anything, I head to the three Alrotz bags and then pick them up. I carry three bags carefully, later follow my wife to the area where the campfire is being set up. While walking alongside my wife, I stay closer to her, feeling her beautiful warmth.

"Not the time to play, kids!". - Rivia yelled at us when we were going, we ended up stopping to intimate

"Ummm... we will have time together when we're resting". - Shera said to me gently, I nodded to reply

Both of us walk till we reach the campfire area. The fire hasn't been set up yet, the sky is about to get dark right now. The cold is about to rise, we're waiting for the heat of fire to come from the campfire.

"Here, this area is good...". - Shera put Yura on the grass gently, the prophet would be sleeping here till she wakes up

"Tch... useless, burden and... cut off your fat, bitch... don't show them before him". - Suddenly, my wife whispered something odd when she stared at the prophet's breasts, but... I couldn't hear it properly

"See you later, John...". "Kiss!". - My wife kissed my cheek before running back to meet up with Lt. Rivia

"Be careful, don't run that fast, just walk".

"I'll be careful". - She said back then started walking

Until my wife comes to Rivia's position, I feel relieved and then focus on my objective. After putting down the three Alrotz military backpacks, my right hand puts inside one bag and pulls out a thing.

It's a machete, a Latin style. Its blade seems to be a little rusted... it has an old woody handle. Holding this woodcutter, I can feel the sharpness, thickness of the blade and its strong handle. This thing will help me a lot from chopping down the woods, even the tightest ones.

"Hey, pal, let's join hands". - One black elf soldier approached me from behind then tapped my back. "Shall we chop some stuff, big boy?". - He later got away from me, then started cutting the branches from a nearby tree

I close the bag, then slowly get up with the machete held tight in my hand. I inspect the woodcutter, examining its sharp but rusted blade. Inspecting the machete for a while, I lower it silently.

"Big human, come here...". - An Orc soldier approached me, he told me to follow him, then turned around and walked forward to a tree

I hold the machete, then follow the big Orc till I get to a tree. Holding the weapon in my hand, I step forward, preparing for a hunt...
