Every inch of the dark forest was engulfed in blazing flas, as thick billows of smoke began to cover the area, a young woman in her form of a half wolf was rushing through the infernal scenery, her head turning this way and that in search of soone's figure.
She was unfortunately unable to find him. Instead, she found sothing else. A group of ugly-looking green-skinned creatures twice the size of n clad in heavy armor and wielding various heavy weapons such as axes, machetes, and maces.
Their malevolent dull green eyes landed at her, baring their large protruding fangs with murderous aura.
"chiwiikkk!! There! another human!! Get her!!"
Fortunately, even though those creatures were very strong, they were not opponents she could not handle. In a matter of minutes, she had dealt with all of them before finally the person she was looking for appeared in front of her.
"Morgana, why are you here!?"
Instead of answering the question, Morgana swiftly walked up to him and asked a question of her own. "Ery.. Do you know where you are right now…?"
As a confused look marred his face, he slowly said, "This.. this… is the academy.. we are under attack… You are not supposed to be here!"
Once again, not responding to his words, Morgana asked another question. "What is happening here?"
Again, still with a confused look, he answered, "We… the elves.. They ca to attack us… They killed my friend! I–"
His words were cut off when the two of them suddenly heard a loud roar in the distance. Both of their faces changed as they felt that it made them unable to move their bodies. The terrified Ery looked at her and said, "It… it's the dragon.. It's her… You must get away from here, Silva… Go!!"
"Silva!? Ery, who is Silva?!"
The next mont, Morgana found herself forced to return to the Khaos space. Before she could do anything, she subconsciously clutched her head tightly as a sharp headache appeared. Not only that, her body felt very lethargic, throbbing sores could be felt everywhere.
As she was trying to recover, the huge creature standing in front of him said, "It's been more than a year…!! You promised, now give up trying..!"
The rough voice filled with anger that was of the dragon rang in Morgana's mind as she had just awoken from another of her [Spirit Walking] journey into Ery's mind.
Staring at the girl, Killgragah said, "Accept the Khaos power and beco its champion! That way you'll be able to do whatever you want!"
Morgana did not imdiately answer. She kept her silence until she recovered sowhat from the skill's backlash. Getting to her feet again, she raised her head to look at the dragon and said, "I promise nothing.. you will let try another year."
After she said those words, she nonchalantly made her way out of the Khaos space. Morgana was not interested in whatever the dragon was trying to sell her.
When she finally ca out, Morgana looked for the group of knights that should be stationed in the area. The mont she found them, she quickly said, "Tell your king to send a ssage to Ro. I need to speak to that Egyptian woman."
Thinking that Klea was still in Ro, Morgana was a bit surprised when the knights inford her that she had returned and was now currently in Calot City.
Wasting no more ti, Morgana decided to head straight for the capital.
As she expanded her senses to probe the surrounding area, Morgana realized that her reach had beco even further than before.
She knew that the one year she had spent within the Khaos space would help her improve, but it shouldn't be this much. Hence she wondered if her constant use of [Spirit Walking] was the reason for the rapid improvent.
The fastest way for her to reach Calot was to use a portal like Ery. However, she didn't have the space mastery necessary to do it. So instead the dragon had taught her a different spell.
With a little concentration, a pair of dark blazing wings appeared on her back. The next instant, her body shot into the air soaring through the sky as she exited the Forbidden Forest toward north.
With that, it took about an hour before her eyes could see Calot City on the horizon.
Her arrival was imdiately sensed by Klea who quickly rushed outside. When Morgana arrived, she could see that the forr was waiting for her arrival with much expectation. Unfortunately, it was quickly shut down by her straightforward words.
"No, he hasn't awakened yet."
She could see her face turning gloomy for a mont before turning normal.
For Klea right now, any news about him was always welcod by her.
Knowing the wolf girl wouldn't co for no reason, She was surprised when she found that she had co for her. This ti, Morgana apparently ca to ask about so things in the mory walk that puzzled her.
Klea's face turned somber when she heard the questions as she couldn't answer them due to her restrictions. Thankfully, Fjolrin was also around as the Vanir King could explain the things the wolf girl asked. At the sa ti, she also knew what was currently happening to Ery.
"Magus Academy… Orcs and Elves.. human mortal enemies…"
Morgana actually couldn't care less about the threats that existed in the Magus Universe.
She ca because he wanted to know the contexts of the things she saw and heard in the mory walks. Now that she knew, she needed to figure out a way to delve deeper into Ery's mind without getting kicked out in order bring his soul back.
After hearing what she needed to know, Morgana planned to waste no ti and return to the Khaos space imdiately. She was about to take off when Klea stopped her, saying that she would be here for a while.
"Co and ask anything about him if you need.. I'll answer anything"
Morgana nodded and was about to leave when she suddenly stopped. Turning her head, she said, "Ah yes.. There's one more… He ntioned a na… Who is Silva?"
The na evoked mixed feelings in Klea, but she certainly wouldn't speak ill of the dead. Facing Morgana's curious gaze, she explained everything she knew about Silva before Morgana finally took off yet again.
The short ti Morgana spent there was enough to impress Fjolrin, but hearing about the details of what Ery went through, the Vanir King couldn't help but comnt. "It seems he is going through the sa problem as … I certainly hope it will not take him hundreds of years to regain himself back."
The comnt brought a glare from Klea which quickly made Fjolrin stop talking more of the topic. Klea however would not let him go easily "It's been a month since our last duel, should we try it again?"
"..."
Morgana quickly headed back to the Khaos space and used the [Spirit Walking] once more, ignoring the dragon's chatter.
Whispering the na Silva, Morgana found herself arriving in the sa dark forest. However, there was now a vast difference, sunlight and breezy air instead of blazing fires and thick smoke.
She made her way towards the sll of the sea and followed it until she found the blue expanse on the horizon with Ery sitting on the white sands.
Morgana calmly sat beside him and once again, started with questions in an attempt to jolt his mory.
"Ery.. Who is Silva?"
"Silva, She… I rember her sitting here on this beach.. She likes it here… she wanted to accompany her… Where is she…?"
Morgana gave so thought and eventually decided to push him by breaking the news. "Ery… She is dead…"
"She… is? No, no, she isn't… She's with him…"
"Him… who?"
"The other ."
