23 The Last Of The Fairies Part One (1/2)
”So the other races besides humans were created by the gods. But you said new races are appearing as well?” Alicia was very surprised to hear about Devils and Gods. She wondered why the Gods disappeared after the Devils vanished and if they vanished why were their new races appearing. Were the gods and devils still creating these races from their hiding spots and releasing them into this world?
”This I do not know. The Magicules after the War of the Devils became ten times more abundant since the Gods and Devils disappeared. So I am not sure if it has anything to do with that or if there are still gods creating new sentient beings.” Loeri replied.
”Well, that doesn't matter. If this is indeed a barrier by the fairies then they might still be alive. But the thing detected seemed faint so it might be a dying fairy. So we should check it out regardless.” Alicia said.
”Okay, but we must be careful we do not know exactly what is down there.” Loeri reminded Alicia.
”I know we will take it slow.” Alicia pushed against the liquid like water and started to pass through it when she heard a muffled cry on top of her head.
”Hey wait? What are you doing!? I can't…! Mphm!”
*Thunk!*
Alicia felt her head get lighter so she turned around to see Loeri on the ground face first. ”Loeri, why are you on the ground!?”
”I said wait!” Loeri slowly got up. There was a big brown spot on her face from the muddy cave floor.
”Oh! Sorry! Hehe! Let me clean you up.” Alicia passed back through the barrier as if it was not even there. She used a little water magic on a bit of cloth and wiped Loeri's face clean. ”Hmm... So if you can not pass through what do we do?”
”You can try wrapping your magic power around my body and seeing if that will allow me to pass. Just do not drop me this time!” Loeri felt a little aggrieved she had just found a comfortable spot and she was forced out of it by the stupid barrier! ”Wait why are you able to pass through it anyways!? You passed through mine as well!”
”I do not know, I just walked through. But let's try what you suggested and see if that allows you to pass through. If not we will just forget about it. I do not want to go by myself if we do not know what is there.” Alicia Did not want to push her luck. She had already almost died a few times now. She decided she should be more cautious from now on. She did not want to die for real a second time. She had only been alive for a little more than a year in this world. She wanted a chance at a full life. She wanted to grow old like everyone else. It was the least she could do for her parents in the other world. They would want her to have a fulfilling life that allowed her to follow her dreams.
