299 Mother of the Pixies (1/2)
---
The area around Raven become greener.
Out of nowhere, flowers bloomed, winds danced and wisps of light started adorning his whole body.
As he turned around, he could see a majestic aurora making itself extremely obvious and was seemingly beckoning towards him. Even the pixies in front of him were stunned by the sudden development.
In the end, it was Jenny who recovered from her stupor and knew what this sign entail. She flew closer towards Raven and said:
”Human, our Mother seeks audience with you.”
”Mother?” Raven tilted his head, a bit confused about what's going on.
In the end, before he could even speak, the thorny briars that's covering the entrance of pixie's home suddenly parted and revealed a path. Raven hesitated, so Aina flew towards him and grabbed his finger saying:
”Come! Come! Mother wants to see you.” Aina called making Raven smile wryly, ”And I still have to give you lots and lots of flowers remember?'
Raven shook his head and walked forward, entering the home of the Pixies for the first time. As he stepped inside, the entrance closed behind them.
There was a brief flash of light that temporarily blinded Raven. When he regained his vision, he was shocked to see at least hundreds of Pixies looking at him with curiosity in their eyes. He could even hear them whispering to each other.
”That's a human right?”
”Yeah. It seems that he's been called here.”
”But why though?”
”Beats me. Frankly, I'm scared.”
”Yeah, me too. What if he's a bad guy?”
”You guys, have some faith to mother.”
”Yeah, yeah. She wouldn't invite someone who's bad.”
”I know, but still…”
”It's been a while since a human visited us.”
”Right, from what I can remember the last human visitor came 50 years ago.”
”Wait, why are the twins with him?”
”Eh, now that you say that...”
”Yeah, that's strange.”
”Coincidence maybe?”
”How can that be coincidence?”
”Maybe that why he's been called here?”
”You guys know that gossiping like this won't take us anywhere right?”
”…”
The home of the pixies appeared to be more of a very large garden instead.
Everywhere he looked, his eyes will be filled with images of flowers of different kinds and colors. He could see pixies flying about everywhere as he walked down the clearing. Raven looked curiously at them and they obviously did the same.
But if there's anything that caught Raven's attention. It would be the thing which is placed in the middle of this vast garden of flowers.
No matter how he looked at it, that thing is alive. Just from the fluctuations around it, he could feel the enormity of its energy. If it weren't for the fact that it's relatively calm and unperturbed by his intrusion, Raven might've already ran away from here.
Jenny lead the way, however Raven couldn't help but notice that they are going closer and closer to that thing. This made him a bit wary, he was even thinking that this invitation was a trap, that this was in fact a lure to keep him here so that, that thing could eat him.
The adult pixie was seemingly aware of his thoughts, so she said: ”Don't worry. Our Mother doesn't have any ill intentions to you.”
