Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Intruder Part 1

This thing is blowing John’s mind for a little while. But the more dangerous thing is why Elsa sent this message.

Why is she coming? and which was the reason she meant this domain release. Eric eventually went for deep thinking about this message, and then

Eric asked to guard,

“Anything else Princess Elsa sends for us or some other message from her?”

The guard politely said,

“No,

Lord Eric,

the princess only said this message for you,

but when she said these things to me, I saw a nervousness on her face, Lord.”

Eric is now thinking about this tense moment very quickly and understands that something is going really bad. Otherwise Elsa can’t send this kind of message for them. He instantly decided to bring Elsa to the palace as quickly as he could.

So he ordered to the guards,

“Go, bring the princess as early as possible.”

Words become action. Some guards were ready for taking leave, and suddenly John grinned and said,

“Wait, I will also join with you all.

my speed was much faster in the past, so I can bring her quickly and uncover this mystery soon.”

Eric agreed with him and let him join them to bring back Elsa for knowing the truth, but he said to John very strictly,

“Take care of yourself.

Don’t get hurt or lie in conflict,

even in any danger.”

John with a smile

“Yes, Dad,

I will take care of myself and the whole team also.

I will bring her in the morning.” Eric becomes calm after knowing John has become a responsible boy now, and he thinks that in the future John will understand all his responsibilities. Guards and John already left the palace for their mission. The mission is to take Princess Elsa back to the palace with safety.

Because her security concerns are related to Eric’s honor. From her childhood Eric always acted as a mean father to her because he couldn’t lend her help in any situation. Eric always protects her like his daughter. So her safety is mostly important for them.

After the guards and John left the palace, Eric became a little bit tense because it’s deep night around now. So he thinks that if any enemy attacks them or any type of wild animal tries to attack.

On the other side, John and the guards reached a long distance from Elsa’s home. But it’s not so close to her home; they need to journey much farther to reach the palace of King Merlin.

About Merlin—

The magician King is one of the best, most honest, and most thoughtful kings in the village of the fourth side around. He is now 45 years old but looks so young for his age. Merlin is the father of Elsa and owner of the palace.

He is a magician of S rank. His power is far beyond that of the other magician. Good-looking white hair wearing royal clothes and also holding his magical cloak on his back.

He loves his daughter Elsa so much. His weakness is his daughter.

[Special power—Good at combat fights; his visual powers were high level. He can use Izanami as well and has enough strength in his body and his mind also.]

Now back to the story:

This thought makes John really shy. Because he can’t talk with Merlin face-to-face. The reason for this incident was John’s father, Eric. When Eric proposed Merlin for his daughter’s hand for his son John for marriage.

John feels really embarrassed for it, and from then on, he feels shy to talk with Elsa’s father, Merlin. This puts him in an awkward position in front of Merlin. But thinking all of this, suddenly he noticed all of them have entered into the deep jungle that is located beside the big river.

After walking for some time, he feels someone’s presence around them, but it’s too dark—a deep black night. It’s hardly possible to see something in this under jungle, where even moonlight can’t enter properly. But they all hold flambeau in their hands. At this moment John notices he sees two red eyes flickering on the top of a tree. John is not a man or young adult.

So for a boy and seeing this enough scary. But our John is good and brave with anyone. So he tried to notice it by concentrating on it. Yeah, right, it’s bloody red eyes with a humanoid figure sitting on the tree.

At first he can’t shout or tell this to anyone because everyone gets scared to see this. If he shouts, then it’s damn sure everyone gets a scare on the journey, so he tries to avoid it.

He walks with guards after, and after, but glowing red eyes give him goosebumps of something bad happening. He tried to calm himself by thinking that everything should be fine and good; nothing bad happens with them. They will get to reach their destination safely, but fate has decided something else.

John again saw that the red-eyed humanoid figure sat on a medium-height tree, staring at them, but his full body was covered with something that helped him to hide himself in the darkness.

The more shocking thing is that without John, none of the guards can notice this creature or its eyes, which secretly stare at them.

For this John again falls into deep thought that it’s really happening, that there is a humanoid figure or a creature with red eyes present. Otherwise, John is just his hallucination.

He can’t understand things, but his heart starts beating so fast. John even hears his heartbeat clearly because of the pin-drop silence in the jungle. He tried to avoid all these bad things and made himself strong to face anything if it came upon him. He walks continuously to reach the palace of Elsa, but it takes more time, and they pass half of the distance.

John becomes numb! It’s the third time he saw these red eyes on the other tree, which stayed up of them. Every gust of wind that blows through the air makes its home in his chest. He feels that his legs are going to freeze and he can’t step up himself into the next step.

This time he noticed in the low light of the flame and moon that it’s clear that this is no ordinary human person. It’s bigger than a human and looks like a creature type, which is enough to scare anyone. He looks at the red eyes and feels cold on the inside. Its big size, red eyes, and hands with big nails give a feeling of bloody fear with a darker vibe.

The eyes looked at them continuously and not even a single blink for a long time. This constancy of eyes looking at John makes him so nervous and speechless for a time. It feels like his stare was so cold and hard for them.

In this condition John made up his mind that he would stop the journey and told everyone about this creature and what he saw from past times.

Now the moment arose, and all of them heard the sound of a wolf in the loud like,

Owaaaaaw….,

owaaaaw….woooo,

Every one of them stopped and understood that around them there was a wolf.

Who is covering them from near? John made up his mind to first tell them about this creature. He gained courage and then again looked at the tree, but he was surprised!

The eyes and creature vanished. There is no clue on the tree that there was even anything present in the past. It shocked John so much, his legs started shaking for a bit. He couldn’t believe how fast these things had gone out from his eyes.

He didn’t even hear the sound of something getting down from up or jumping from the tree. Things become strange and uncomfortable for everyone.

All round become silent, only the sound of cold wind comes along from the front side.

One of experienced guards advised,

“Young Lord,

listen we need to take break for short time to understand things”.

John, with a trembling voice but trying to stabilize himself, said,

“But why!

we are enough close to go out from this jungle, went to village road and then the palace. Which is our main goal.”

Guard again,

“No, young lord,

please listen to my advice!

If we continue our journey, it will make us suffer and also invite danger for ourselves.”

Another guard also agreed with him and said “I am agree with him,

we need to observe around first and then start moving forward. Everyone heard the wolf call. It’s a sign of danger because wolves always hunt in a gang.”

After listening to these things one after another, everyone agrees to take a break to understand the condition of the situation. For this they can easily face any type of danger easily, because this was a strategy of combat in hard times.

Everyone started checking all around if there is any kind of animal, wolf or enemy hiding under the trees, bush or under in jungle to harm them from secret way

but suddenly…
