57 Chapter 5: Unknown attack? (2/2)
”Um...” She muttered
”Ah, sorry, i was thinking of a name. We're no one important really, we're just 3 travelling kids...” I replied
”Who are you calling a kid?!” Asked Serena
”Except for her, she's an adult.” I said
”Why'd you say it like that?” She asked
”Nothing,” I replied
”Hmph” She said
She looked straight at me as if she was thinking of something and then decided not to ask it
”I see, you have your circumstances. But do any of you know how to ride a carriage?” She asked
”Uhm...” I looked over at Serena and Ariel for help
”Yeah, I do” Replied Serena
She walked over to the horses and placed her hand on on their face, it was as if she was communicating with them. Elves are really something else.
”Good, then with everything ready, let's go.” I Said
”Eh? Now?” Eleanor Asked
”I-If we waste more time we might suffer another attack so...” Said, Ariel
”You're right... Um...” Said Eleanor
”Ah that's right, You can call me john, she's Ariel and that girl with the hat talking to the horses is Serena” I said
”I'm not talking to them!” Said Serena with an embarrassed expression
”W-Well, John, Ariel and Serena, it's nice to meet you three... Once again, i thank you all for your help...” She said as she bowed her head
”you don't have to that, you're employing us after all. Also there's no need to be to be so formal.” I said
”But”
”It's fine, it makes me feel uncomfortable when someone my age talks formally like that ” I replied
”I see... Very well then, i'll try speaking normally, Also speaking of age, how old are you?” She asked
”12”
”Ehhh?!”

After Serena prepared what she needed to, without saying anything, she got the carriage back on the path and it's been an hour since we've started the journey
”Serena, aren't your hands getting tired?” I asked
”It's fine, I have magic strengthening after all,”
”I see... Speaking of which i never asked eleanor where we were, she told us that if we followed this path we'd reach the city but which continent are we in?” I asked
”I don't know, I've never seen it before, if you're so curious why don't you go and ask her? You don't have to stay here” she said with an uninterrested expression
What's with her? I just didn't want to leave her here alone, Ariel is happily talking with Eleanor, they both seem to be in a good mood so i thought i'd do the same for Serena, but as always she's in a bad mood.
Was ariel always this good at socialising?
”I like it here, we can feel the breeze, even though flying around has a much better breeze to it” I said
”Don't just casually say that!” Said, Serena
Am i that bad at dealing with this girl? I mean i know she hates me but-
”Thanks.” She said out of nowhere
”For what?” I asked
”You know wha- John!” She said
”Yes, i know, Ariel we got company, ready up.” I said as i turned around
”We just found our prey...” I muttered
