298 King Stormbird (2/2)
”My sister told me that you saved us.” Aisha said, ”Thank you, good sir.”
”Don't mention it.” Raven waved his hand as the flew side by side. ”I'll escort you on your way home. You're parents might be looking for you already. Lead the way.”
”Thank you, Mister Raven.” Aina said as she held Aisha's hand and flew forward.
As the twin pixies flew forward, Raven followed them around while maintaining vigilance at their surroundings. As the three walked forwards, Raven couldn't help but ask.
”How were you captured by that spider anyway?” He asked Aisha, who hung her head low as she answered his question.
”All I could remember is that I was in the middle of communing with the Great Earth.” Aisha replied, ”Then, when I woke up, I was already trapped in that spider's webs. I thought I was going to be eaten by the big spider.”
Raven could hear the fear behind Aisha's voice. He smiled and said: ”No need to be afraid anymore. You are safe.”
Aisha looked back at him and smiled, she then nodded and said: ”Yes. Yes, thank you.”
”Mm! You're safe now! We'll go back home and then we won't be in danger anymore.” Aina told her while gripping her hands even tighter.
Looking at the twins makes Raven miss his twin sisters. He wondered if they would ever be like this when they grow up. When he left, the two could already say a few words. Depending on the length of his journey, he might miss the chance of seeing them grow up.
He sighed and isolated the sadness in his heart. He kept following the two until he realized that they were going on to a place where he could feel some sort of barrier.
Raven remained silent and alert as he followed the twins. As they got closer and closer to the barrier, Raven activated his ocular technique and immediately, his vision was clouded by colorful Pixie Dusts. He shook his head and deactivated his ocular technique since having it active somehow makes it hard for him to accurately see the twins.
”Halt!”
A strong feminine voice sounded in front of them. They stopped on their tracks and saw someone fly down.
”Madam Jenny!” The twins called out as they flew closer to the adult pixie who just flew down.
”Oh dear! You two troublemakers finally returned!” Jenny said as she ruffled the hair of the twins. ”You guys don't know how worried Mother is!”
”Wuu~.” Aina teared up, she then said: ”We were nearly eaten by a big and gross spider!”
Jenny's eyes widened as she heard that, Aisha then followed by saying: ”It's my fault for being careless, Madam Jenny. But thankfully, Sir Raven saved both of us and chased away the spider.”
As Aisha introduced Raven, Jenny looked at him and inspected him for a bit. Raven blinked as he saw Jenny fly around him while occasionally sniffing him.
”Mm. You stink, Human.” Jenny said, placing her delicate hand on her nose. This caused the twins to giggle and Raven to lift a piece of his shirt and smell it. And yes, he agrees to what she said.
”But I am most certain that you truly defeated the Queen Arachne, it's her blood that I can smell on you.” Jenny added, ”On behalf of my race. I thank you for saving my kind.”
”You're welcome. I merely did what I could.” Raven nodded towards her, expressing his goodwill. He then looked at the twins and said: ”Alright you guys are safe now so I'll be leaving. Make sure to not wander too far from home, okay?”
After saying his piece, he then waved them goodbye, turned around and planned to leave.
The twins were about to say something but Jenny looked at them sharply and shook her head. Signifying that they shouldn't say anything nor do anything carelessly. Of course, Raven wasn't aware of this. All he had in mind is to continue on his journey so that he could return as early as he could.
All of a sudden, an unexpected scene occurred.
Raven was shocked, even more so the Pixies. But after seeing the miraculous scene, Jenny recovered her stupor and flew towards Raven. She then said:
”Human, our Mother seeks audience with you.”
