Chapter 14 Chapter: 014 Treasure Hunt Part 2 (1/2)
Arriving at the forest entrance, Elijah could see his father with others of his family, the three instructors from the Royal Academy and ...
”Little Brother, look out!”
He only felt something hitting him as he fell on the ground. Still feeling a bit dizzy, he look up and saw who had hit him
”Layla?” And he fainted.
...
Elijah's view
Opening my eyes, I saw my father looking at me. thinking about how I fainted, and that a few hours must have passed.
Afraid that the treasure hunt was over, I ask.
”Father, the treasure hunt aready begin?”
”No, there still a few minutes. Also we decided that only when you make fourteen years we'II anounce your engagement with Layla but until there you two are not engaged and if she fall in love with someone or she din't want to marry you, then the agreement will be annulled. If you are better now , then get up and go to the entrance.”
I get up, go down the stairs and leave.
...
Elijah was with a few childs from his family.
When his grandfather anunced.
”As everyone knows, today is our family competition we do every year, in the forest we had some potions and artifacts. The one who more find the most treasures or find the more expensive treasures will win.
Just remember not not go deep in the forest, and you all have three hours, now go!”
All the children started to run into the forest.
...
In two hours, Elijah only found a pouch of gold coins, a mirror and dagger and decided to go deeper when he sudely heard a shout.
”AHH!”
Feling something was wrong, he activate the second level Void Steps.
[Void Steps] is devided in three levels, the first is speed, the second is silence, and the third is void.
after activating the second level, he could run without making noise. aprouching where the shout came from he saw Chloe running away from seven wolves.
Remembering the scroll that his father had given him. He took out the Spatial Scroll, opened it and the scroll send purple light rays locking the wolves.
Seeing his plan had worked, he took her hand and used his Void Steps, leaving the wolves behind.
on top of a tree,Elijah was holding onto Chloe who was short of breath as he asked.
”Chloe, are you alright? what happened with you?”
”I saw you were exploring this side and i come after you, I didn't thought wolves would attack me.”
Elijah looked around, but he could not see anything familiar in this part of the forest. The Branches florest was little but it was conected to the great wilderness and there lived numerous tribes and magical creatures.
He closed his eyes and tried to contact Shadow. 'Master, can you hear me? Master?' I can't contact Master, our conection has been broken.
