Chapter 9 - A Misty Forest

 Silence. That's the current status of the situation right now.  Normally i will take pictures of an are i found worthy of being take a n photographed at. Though currently i can't bring out my camera to take a picture of the scenery. Though i did try separating a bit from the caravan.

 One of the Escort Guards apprehended me and told me to go back in the line. Though they were probably just concerned with the line being disturb and that many would take my actions and copy my behavior. Well it's not like im looking for any trouble either so i just obediently backed off like a good person.

 Since entering the mist forest it has been about a time now since we walked. The Escort captain also told us that the whole trip will take about four hours. During the time we entered this forest i took a glance at my wrist watched  and it was still 7am. We left at 6:04 am and have been traveling for about 56 minutes now.

 Which means that we still have three hours left of walking till we arrive at the middle of the forest and finally enter the center which lies the City of Wodfel.

 I have been just walking behind the fury bull of Ava and have been staring at the ground for a while now by the way. Though i have nothing to do right now than walk.....I am bored to be honest. It would have been a bit better if there were i can talk to. But since Ava has just been keeping silent and retreated back to her bull's fur, i stop myself from disturbing her and backed off.

 Now that i think about it , how about i use my invisibility? Though i did try using the Wanderer's Hand and was fairly successful in doing so. But my problem is that due to being on this packed crowd wouldn't i just bump towards them and cause some panic?

 Though i did feel the passive increase in strength in my body and was fascinated by the fact that i can turn invisible when the energy from my wanderer's hand covers my entire body and that can direct contact with me and reflect all the lights that shines on me and making me invisible. I never understand what turning into a ''Phantom'' mean.

 Feeling helpless i just stared right at my left hand and though of something..I can spread the energy around my body to reflect the light off and became invisible. But maybe can  i just spread it around an object or a certain parts on my body?

 Since I'm bored i decided to pull out my pocket knife and concentrated the blessing energy of the wanderer's hand towards my knife. Seeing the mark in my hand slightly glow, then as if the Tree like Hand mark spread whitish energy lines of threads towards the knife and slowly covered it till it became invisible.

 I was happy with the result, though i can't show my shock and shout that i did it. I celebrated inside my heart and undid the threads of energy as it vanish from the knife. Seeing that it is possible to do so , i touch the camera inside my backpacks pocket and circulated the energy threads of the blessing and covered it completely except the lens so it can reflect the image it tries to capture.

 I then pointed the lens towards the the forest and took a picture of the scenery. Seeing that i did it,  i hid my camera under my coat and undid the energy threads that covers the LCD screen and saw that the camera did capture the scene of the forest. I then wrapped the LCD screen back with threads of light and included the lends and took a picture with the camera.

 Feeling excited i brought my camera back undid again the  threads of energy that covered the LCD screen and took a look. But when i saw the image, i feel a bit sad. It seems it really need to let the lens uncovered for an image to be taken. I then deleted the image then put back my camera back in my backpack's pocket.

 Three hours of walking was not much because of my new passive increase in strength due to the blessing of the wanderer's hand. Though along the way i have taken a lot of pictures towards the strange floras and bugs that i have encountered the trip was at was smooth.

 Seeing that the people around me started talking and the Escort Captain didn't warn them anymore. It seems that we are near the the exit of the forest. Feeling the mist gradually fade even though we are still near the forest and the air around me started feeling warm, i also got excited in delight.

 As we were steps away into exiting the forest and right into the territory which the City of Wodfel lies. I feel my heart beating as for this place is gonna be the first city that i will step into after coming into this world. Ten steps, six steps and three steps and.....my eyes have seen the city of Wodfel.

 Seeing the  City of Wodfel that is akin to a medieval Europe in design the only difference is that there was  a giant tree that  is not as tall as the World Tree but was as wide if four football stadiums were join together.  A warm feeling then swelled inside my heart as i feel that finally...i got to take a glance at these kind of scenery as i slowly pointed my camera towards the view and click on the capture button.
