64 Chaper 12: Asteria (2/2)
”You're creeping me out...” Muttered Serena as she stared at me
”Serena, please don't stare at me like i'm some sort of creep, It was just a joke” I hastily said
”That's right!” Said Ariel with a proud expression
Looks like she completely recovered
”Yeah! I really enjoy it, despite how they look they're really strong and have saved me countless times” I said as i placed my arm on serena and Ariel's shoulder
They were startled by it, but didn't seem bothered
”As weird as he can be, He's pretty fun to be around” Said Serena
”Serena, T-Thank you...” I said as tears streamed down my face
”Why are you crying?!” Asked Serena with an annoyed expression
”I'm envious...” Muttered Eleanor,
***
Thanks to my act, the tension from the fight had slightly disappeared. It's been 30 minutes since then, we've checked the carriage and the horses, there was nothing wrong with them. Alfred seemed better but was still asleep, and now we're about to continue the journey
”Is everyone ready?” Asked Serena
”Yeah, let's go” I replied
”Okay” She said
The horses began moving and our travel continued
”I'll be back, i'm going to go ask Eleanor more about where we are and where we're going” I said to Serena
”You don't have to tell me...” She replied
”Y-Yeah...”
I moved to the back of the carriage while it was still moving and sat on one of the seats next to eleanor
”Hm, John? What's wrong? Serena will be lonely” Said, Ariel.
She won't, Besides it's just for a few seconds, And i need to ask something
”It's fine, I just needed to ask Eleanor something, Where are we and Where are we going?”
Eleanor made a surprised expression at my question. Looks like Ariel never asked her
”I thought for sure, you three knew. I mean, it's pretty hard not to...” Said Eleanor
”We've been through a lot, and i'm sure it's a little hard to believe, but we really have no clue where we are” I replied
”No, no, I believe you, I was just surprised, sorry.”
”It's fine, and thanks.”
”We're in the magic continent, one of the 6 continents, It's called Asteria.”
Asteria..? Oi... Are you kidding me? We were sent to another continent?!
