She doesn’t know the snake’s weakness, and even if she did know she won’t be able to do anything at her current condition. She couldn’t take it any longer. And she finally lost her consciousness.

Sensing that the prey stopped struggling, the snake intends to swallow her. But when its mouth reached her it felt a heart-piercing deathly aura from her body. The snake let go of her body and started panicking. Its instinct told it to run. Following its instinct it run away out of the cave.

When Elsa woke up her body was fully healed. Surprised at her condition, she stood up. ‘I thought I died. Probably Grassy saved me after I lost consciousness and healed me.’

She looked at the box. She is tempted to open it. But she controlled herself. Picking up the box she headed towards the river. On her way back she didn’t encounter any dangerous situation. But she was tired.

When she came near the river she saw Coney floating there. She looked worried. She said,” I thought you died. You look fine. Where have you been in these past few days? Did you find the box?”

Elsa handed over the box to Coney.” What is inside the box?” She asked.

“You haven’t looked inside, have you?” Coney inquired.

“No.” Elsa said. “If you don’t want to say, its fine.”

“I will tell you. The box itself is a treasure. Inside the box there is a pair of white gloves which I will be giving to you. And why I need the box, you don’t need to know it.” Coney said.

Then she gave the gloves to Elsa. She wore it. And as soon as she wore it, it disappeared along with the tattoo. But she could feel that she is wearing the gloves.

“As you can see, your tattoo disappeared. When you are wearing it, no one will be able to recognize the treasure. You will also find it useful in other ways.”

“Thanks. How do I get out of the forest?”

“I have given you a compass. It is a magical item. It can lead you anywhere you want. Just ask it and it will show you.”

Elsa asked the compass. It pointed to a direction. She said her goodbye to Coney. Then she left.

Following the direction she quickly came out of the forest. This forest was supposed to be full of animals. But she didn’t meet any when she was coming out. It sure is strange. But she decided not to think about it. Finally she is out of this forest.

Since the start of the journey she is wearing the same red coloured frock. It has become messy and tattered. She need to change the clothes. But she doesn’t have any other clothes with her. She need to go in a market to buy some clothes. But she doesn’t have any money.

“I will think about money when I get in a town. First I need to find a town. Now Where to go? Compass, can you show me the direction of a nearby town?”

The compass pointed towards a new direction. She followed it. She is feeling increased energy and magical power is side her. ‘Am I going to evolve into advance white mage?’

She didn’t evolved as she hoped for. But she is feeling increased energy. Maybe it is the result of her high mood. Her heart is racing fast. And she also started running towards the direction of the town.

After half an hour running she didn’t get tired. When her mood is high she don’t feel tired at all. She didn’t meet any person while she was running. Thoughts are racing in her mind. She want to talk to someone so that she can release the thoughts out of her mind. Or maybe she could write. But she didn’t have pen and paper.

After much time her mood started to calm down. She is feeling tired. It was afternoon. She came near the gate of a town. There was no guards at the gate. There was a signboard hanging on top of the gate. “Everyone is welcome in this town. Everything is free in this town. Enjoy yourselves.”

Elsa entered the town. There were many buildings and shops open at the town, but she saw no human. She is getting an ominous feeling. But she is too hungry to get worried. She got inside a food shop and started eating.

There were cakes, pastries, juice, roasted chicken, rice, ice cream and many other food in the shop. She ate as much as she could. All of these were delicious. She wanted to eat more. But she was full. She took rest for few minutes in the shop. And then she went out of the shop to get a new dress.

When she entered a clothes store she saw many beautiful clothes. She wanted to have them all. Then an idea came into her head. ‘Since everything is free I can take all of them, right?’ She first changed her clothes and wear a similar looking black frock. Then she put in every other clothes inside Grassy.

She went out of the store and did the same thing with food, water, books and other items. It feels like stealing. But she convinced herself that she was doing the right thing, since everything is free. She didn’t worry about the space inside Grassy. There is almost an infinite amount of space inside it.

She read in a book that what is offered for free is dangerous. What is worth is worth paying for. If something seems too good to be true there is definitely something wrong with it. She is trying to get these thoughts out of her head. It is getting dark. She is feeling uncomfortable.

‘I have gathered food and clothes for the journey. I have no business here anymore. I should get going. Compass, show me the direction to get out of this town.’ The compass pointed towards a direction.

Following this direction she came close to the exit gate of the town. It is nigh time. One more step and she will be out of this town. But for some reason she is anxious to take that step.

Somehow she took the step and she was out of the town. She felt relieved. Then she looked back. There was no town behind her. It was an empty ground. She checked inside Grassy. All the things she took from the town was still there. ‘What’s going on? Where is the town?’

She took few steps back. She was inside the town. The town become visible. Then she took few steps forwards. She was out of the town. The town disappeared again.

‘So it is like an invisible town. Whatever, I am going now.’ She started walking out of the town. She don’t want to stay here any longer.

“Did you like the town?” She suddenly heard a metallic voice.

“Who is speaking?” She asked.

“I am the one who created this town. Now answer me, did you like the town?” the voice said.

“Yes, I like it very much.” She replied.

“Now how are you going to pay for everything?” The voice continued, “If you don’t pay I will turn you into a doll and place you in a toy store in the town. I assure you that I can do it.”

She panicked. “But I thought everything was free in that town.”

“Yes, everything is free at the town as long as you stay there. But since you are out of the town you need to pay.” said the voice.

“What do I need to pay?” she asked.

“I run this town using other people’s magic power. You have to give me all of your magic power.”

“No way.” She instantly replied. “I will become a magician. How am I supposed to become a magician if I don’t have magic power at all?”

The voice said, ”You can start over again. Or do you want to turn into a doll?”

“Is there no other way around?” She asked hopefully.

“No. Give me your answer.”

Elsa considered her options for a while. She doesn’t like either of the options. Intelligent people can create a third option if they don’t like the options they were given. She is thinking of the third option to get out of the situation without any harm.

“Can you show me your real body?” Elsa asked.

“So you agreed to give away your magic power?” the voice asked.

“Yes.” She replied. “I want to see what kind of great creature can create such a magnificent town.”

“Since you want to see me so badly, I will show myself to you.” After he said that Elsa saw a small figure coming out of the forest. Surprisingly it was a rabbit. It was white and fat. It looks funny. Two white teeth are coming out from his mouth. It looks like a rat.

“So you are the one who created this town?” She asked.

“Yes.” The rabbit replied.

“Can I touch you? You look cute.” She said.

“Sure.” The rabbit agreed.

Her hands are coming towards the rabbit. She will activate Grassy as soon as she touched it.

When her hands were near the rabbit, she turned into a doll and become small.

The rabbit snorted. “Foolish human. Did you think that I was unaware about the scheme you were cooking?”
