The Mirror Lake Maki rested up that night. She was worried that she wouldn’t be able to move if she didn’t rest, and she was also tired from her travels with the birdfolk. And so when she opened her eyes, the sun was already high in the sky. “Damn it! I slept for too long!”…
Not One Good Thing Chiharu sighed and picked up the fallen knife. As the window in the hallway was not opened, she doubted anyone was watching. Still, she moved discreetly, just in case. And then she looked at Norfe, who was by her feet and not moving. It wasn’t that he couldn’t move. He just…
Inland They rested on a nameless, uninhabited island on the way. And so by the time they reached Midland four hours later, the sun had already come down. There was no doubt that if Chiharu were with them, she would have been very excited to be on that island. And the Midland castle too. It…
Birdfolk and Merfolk They didn’t bring any spare clothes in order to stay as light as possible. They put what they needed in pouches and then dressed for the cold. And like that, Maki and Edwy left Miragaia to lead the birdfolk, and headed towards Sauro and Saikania. “It’s two hours to the sea. We’ll…
Movement Apparently, during that time in the beast lands, they found out that Chiharu had been taken inland, and decided what should be done next. By morning, the birdfolk were flying in every direction in order to send messages. First, there was the elf lands, where most of their fighting force was focused. If the…
The Pathetic Prince While he may have been the calmest one there, that didn’t mean it would result in something that she would like. Chiharu didn’t see herself as being some special person. She was called a Saintess and did work that only a Saintess could do, but that was simply just her job. However,…
The Secret Passage Norfe and Alan watched the suspicious bundle being carried in, and once the birdfolk were gone, they rushed out of their hiding place. There was a gaping hole where Lord Adol had entered, and it connected to a staircase that led underground. “What is my uncle trying to do…” “Well, it can’t…
The Underground Princess The lighting in the prison that they called a room did not allow her to see everything near the corners. However, she sensed the presence of shadowy monsters on the other side of the wall. And one after another, they were coming into the room. The small gazer floated up in front…
Chiharu Does Her Best In the end, the birdfolk would not listen to Chiharu no matter what she said. And when she tried to walk down the mountain on her own, they stopped her. As it was day time, there were no gazers around, and so Chiharu had to give up being rescued immediately. If…
Are you Stupid? Chiharu awoke suddenly. It was quite bright around her now. She was still wrapped up in a blanket, but her face was sticking out. And she could stretch out her arms and legs freely. Apparently, they had rewrapped her at some point. She then tried to sense their presence, but it seemed…
Suspicious Blanket One night, as Norfe relaxed in his room. “Your Highness.” Came a voice from the other side of his door. It was the voice of his usual guard. But it shouldn’t have been him that was here today, Norfe thought with suspicion. “It’s you, Alan. Come in.” He called. The guard who slowly…
Birdfolk Festival(Highland) They say that if you kept traveling through the mountains behind the castle, you would reach the edge of the Sun World. Norfe gazed at the mountains and mused on how when he was young, he had once entered those mountains in order to see if it was true. In the end, after…
Chiharu, the Night Before “The dungeon?” Said a stunned Adventurer. Indeed, they had not told the leader’s of every territory about the dungeon yet. And so the humans here did not know about it. “It was discovered recently. And while the news hasn’t been made public yet, we know that there are gazers there.” Zynis…
Bird Cage “However, that doesn’t mean that she was taken inland.” Sonid said with a pained expression. “I think they did.” Said one of the young birdfolk, without a hint of guilt. “After all, the inland people told us all of the time about how the Saintesses were made to travel everywhere and work, even…
Where Chiharu Went “What is it, Maki? Why are you shaking so much?” The birdfolk rushed to her. But it was Sauro and not Miragaia who first noticed that Maki was acting differently. And she looked so pale. “So you hawks are here too.” “What’s happening this late into the night?” The leader of the…
