Chapter 5: Midori Village
*Yawn* "Hmmm.........." Valtryek rub his tired eyes and keep walking with his party member Roktavor.
"Valtryek, pick up the pace before I leave you behind!" Roktavor was getting impatient with Valtryek walking so slow like a snail.
"I'm coming... I'm coming..." Valtryek yawn and catching up with Roktavor.
"Hmmmm........ How much more further do we have to go?" Valtryek whine and mumbles.
"Stop whining we're almost there." Roktavor huff letting out fire and smoke out of his nostrils.
"Aaaaaahhhhh............." Valtryek groan and just want to lay down and take a nap.
"Are you okay, bub?" Roktavor ask walking to Midori Village with Valtryek by his side.
"Yeah... *yawn* Just tired... Ow!.." Valtryek yawn and accidentally walk up to a tree. He rub his head and continue walking.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" Roktavor ask seeing Valt bumping into another tree and trip over a rock.
"A little... I just had a weird dream last night." Valtryek gets up and clean himself.
"A dream?" Roktavor replies as he raise an eyebrow.
"Yeah..." Valtryek nod.
"What was that dream about an way?"
"It was... It was. Umm... I can't remember." Valtryek scratch his cheek trying to remember.
"Welp, I don't blame ya. It's common for humans to forget what they dreamt about when they wake up." Roktavor understand because it common for everyone to forget what they dreamt about.
"If you say so..." Valtryek replied feeling bad that he couldn't remember what he dreamt about last night.
As Roktavor and Valtryek walk further and further through the forest, they stumble the outskirts of Midori Village. This outskirts is the sign that your heading to the right direction. How are you heading to the right direction you ask?
Midori Village is a place that expresses the color of young leaves or whole plants. Midori Village wasn't originally found as a village.
This forest wasn't growing anymore because of the Aesir Wars. After the bloody endless fights were finally over the founder of Midori Village a human that survive and got themselves from the impact of the war. They walk around helpless and tired from lack of food. They collapse from a dead free landscape like the whole world turn into ashes. But hope rise and the founder encounter two spirits. They aid the dying man/woman as the forest slowly and magically came back to life same with all the animals. This place was a peaceful wasteland of life and nature.
Legends say they might be Gods or spirits sharing eternal life for plants to grow to expand Earth.
"Hmm... We're getting close to the Village." Roktavor said checking at the map again and his surrounding.
"How do you know that?" Valtryek ask with curiosity.
"The plants here are more healthier and the animals aren't killing each other." Roktavor explain how their close to the Village and putting the map away from his manly pouch.
"Why do animals kill each other?" Valtryek ask another curious question.
"Hehe, that easy they kill each other by eating eac-" Roktavor smile demonically thinking about the powerful lust for killing and eating organs with other species excites him. He turn around to explain more but stop through his mid-sentence.
"Hm hmm...~" Valtryek nod with pure innocent eyes and happy sparkling aura.
"Umm... They kill each other for.. Fooorrr.. Uum.. Fruit! They kill each other for fruit." Roktavor didn't have the gut to tell him the truth. It was like trying to kill a baby that was smiling at you with joy.
"Why fruit?" Valtryek tilts his head a bit confused.
"Who doesn't like fruit." Roktavor raise an eyebrow and put his hand on his hip.
"... You're right, sorry I ask." Valtryek realize he ask a silly question.
"It alright, come on let keep going." Roktavor smile and continue walking.
"K!~" Valtryek cheered and excited to see what Midori Village look like in person.
As are two heroes walk more through their path they meet beautiful flowers, fresh fruits from trees and bushes, and animals living peacefully in there little homes.
"This place is beautiful." Valtryek thought as he was eating fresh berries and looking around.
"But why does this place feel.. Familiar to me?.. Like I never been here before... but I feel the same feelings." He thought more about it as he finish his berries.
"Hm?..." Valtryek stop and look at a white flower.
"Uh...." His eyes turn dull and slowly reach for it as
black vines slowly rise up to Valtryek's hand.
"Valtryek, Don't!!" Roktavor yelled at Valtryek.
"AAH!!" Valtryek put his hands up and look at Roktavor.
"I didn't do anything I swear!!!" He started to panic as Roktavor walk up to him.
"I know, but don't touch does white carnation flowers." Roktavor made Valtryek back away form the white carnations.
"Why!? Are they poisonous!?!" Valtryek freak out that he almost die by a poisonous flower.
"You can say that... Those flowers will trap you like a Dionaea muscipla." Roktavor said and explaining why not to touch that one peculiar white flower.
"Come on, let go. We're almost there to Midori Village." He said as he hold Valtryek's hand so he won't get lost or he lose him somewhere in the forest.
"O-ok... " Valtryek follow Roktavor but still look at the flowers with consider. He brush it off and continue his journey with Roktavor.
The black vine started to grow bigger as throns were popping out. It slowly warp on the white carnation flower as it's petals fell to the ground.
As they continue their path Roktavor heard a strange noise that doesn't belong in the area.
"Grrrr.... Rrr.... Rrrr...."
"Stop!" Roktavor stop Valtryek because he heard something demonic.
"Do you hear that." He listened to his surroundings to pin point where that creature coming from.
"Hear what?" Valtryek was confused, he didn't hear anything.
"Grrrrr..... Rrrrr... Rrr...."
"Oh... Now I hear it. It sound like snoring."
"How do you know what snoring sound like?" Roktavor look at Valtryek as he rise an eyebrow.
"You snore in your sleep."
".... That makes sense." He agree that he snores in his sleep. It scare off animals that get to closes from his territory.
"Grgrr... Rrrr... Rrgrr..."
"It's coming over in that direction." Roktavor said pointing at that direction.
Valtryek and Roktavor head to that direction and hide in the bushes so they won't get caught and get kill by it. They pop their heads out and see a big creature with three heads sleeping as butterflies were flying randomly around it or not.
"It a Cerberus." Roktavor said seeing a dark green Cerberus.
"A what?" Valtryek was just thinking of petting it. It's small fur looks fluffy and soft.
"Cerberus are often called the "Hound of Hades", it's a multi-head dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving. But the question is why is it here of all places." Roktavor never seen a Cerberus from the surface world they mostly live from the underworld were chaos and destruction lives. They never go to the surface world because... It non destructive and life of less.
"I want to pet it!~" Valtryek grins happily and wants to pet the big three headed doggy.
"Don't pet it!!" Roktavor quietly shouts at him.
"But I want to pet it!" Valtryek desperately wants to pet the three headed doggy.
"No, they're killing machines if they see you you're de- aaannnd his gone..." Roktavor sweat drop and made a face.
Valtryek walk up to Cerberus and stand in the front of it's three heads.
"Aawwww..." He was amazed seeing a big scary evil creature up close. Roktavor was like 'don't you do it, don't you f**king dare'. But it was too late, Valtryek starts petting the Cerberus's middle head.
"GrrRrrR....." Cerberus wakes up and see Valtryek in front of him and petting him.
Valtryek's eyes sparkles with a cute kitty smile.
Cerberus gets up and growl angrily and violently.
"ROOOOOOAAAAARRRR!!!!!!" It roars angrily at Valtryek for waking him up from it slumber.
"His dead.." Roktavor said to himself seeing Valtryek's death wish right in front of him.
Valtryek got spit all over his body as his hair got messy. This is the part were the hero or non hero get scared and run away as they get chase. But for Valtryek was a little different...
"You are so cute!!!~" Valtryek squeals and making Cerberus confuse. It two heads were confused the third one was more like angry confused.
So the third one open his mouth wide and bites a whole Valtryek.
"EEH!!!" Roktavor made a shocked face seeing his friend being eaten. Luckily Valtryek was still alive and unharm because his legs were still stinking out.
"He ah! Hah ah ha!" But in the inside Valtryek was laughing because Cerberus' mouth movement and salvia was making him ticklish.
"You f**king beast spit him out!!" Roktavor pulls out his morning star bat.
"GRRRAAAAAH!!!!!" He battle cry as he was going to kill the beast.
"WAIT!!!" Someone in green ran in front of Roktavor and protecting Cerberus from a Jotun.
"Why are you stopping me it eating my partner!!" Roktavor angrily yells trying to beat up the Cerberus.
"What!?! Keru, spit out Jotun's friend right now!" The green stranger stomp his foot and scold and demands the Cerberus to spit out Valtryek.
"Grrrrr...." Keru growls in annoyed and spits out Valtryek.
Roktavor and the green stranger gather around Valtryek to see if he's still alive.
"Hehehe... 😵😵" Valtryek's eyes were swirling as he smiles and giggles a little.
"Sorry, are you okay." The green stranger apologies for his Cerberus almost eating him.
"I want to do it again!" Valtryek quickly sits up with a happy grin wanting to go back into Cerberus' mouth.
"I know you have amnesia but sometimes, your just... Extremely stupid that you're a danger to yourself. " Roktavor said smacking the back of Valtryek's head giving him some discipline.
"Ow!! I'm not stupid! And I'm not a danger to myself!!" Valtryek pouts as he was defending himself.
"You bump into five trees and trip two times." Roktavor said giving a serious annoyed straight face.
"I! Was! TIRED!!" Valtryek growl angrily like a psychopath.
The green stranger was in the middle of their conflict. He was awkward and uncomfortable as Roktavor and Valtryek were still arguing.
"GGGRRRR!!!" Keru the third head roar at them because he sense his friend feeling uncomfortable.
They both stop arguing and zip their lips.
".... Sorry." Valtryek lower his head in shame as he apologize.
"I-its okay, but the one who should be really apologizing is Keru."
"GrRrrR?!" Keru was like 'excuse me'.
"You know what you did, know apologize!" The green stranger pouts and point at Valtryek.
"Grrrrr...." Keru doesn't want to.
"I-it alright, he doesn't have to apologize. It was mostly my fault, I did interrupt his and the other two sleep." Valtryek was being generous and taking the blame.
"He almost devoured you! This mutt has to apologize!" Roktavor yelled at Valtryek and point at Cerberus furiously.
"GRrRRrR!!!!" Keru growl viciously at Roktavor.
"GGGGRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!" Roktavor growls back but more viciously.
"GGgGRrRrrR!!!"
"GGGGRRRRRRRR!!!!"
"GgGGrrRRRrrrRR!!!!!"
"GGGGGRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!"
"GggGGgGRRrrrRRrrrRrrrR!!!!!!!"
They growl viciously back and forth fighting for dominance.
The green stranger tries to make them stop but they won't listen.
"Bad!... Bad!..." Valtryek lift his arm up and down just saying bad. Roktavor and Keru stop and look at Valtryek confused.
"What are you doing?" Roktavor ask raising his eyebrow with a confuse expression.
"Scolding you two. Bad.. Very bad... Bad." Valtryek continue his scolding.
"That's not how you scold someone one." Roktavor said correcting Valtryek's method.
"Bad.. You two need to apologize each other right now!.." Valtryek pouts a little and command them to make up.
"I don't -!"
"Bad."
"You can't m-!"
"Bad.."
"Will you st-!"
"Bad..."
"GgGggRrRrr!!" Keru growl at Valtryek because he was getting annoyed.
"Bad..."
They both frown and stay quiet for a bit.
"This is not goi-!"
"Bad!.."
"ALRIGHT ALREADY!!!" Roktavor had enough of this and has to do the stupid apology.
"Sor..rry." He growl at Keru.
"Grrr.." Keru apologize back but in a annoyed way.
"Like you mean it!" Valtryek shout at them being the mother for those two.
"Gaaah..."
"Ggggrrrr..."
They groan and really don't want to, but they have too.
"Sorry...
"Grr grr..."
"Good... So what's your name." Valtryek ask the green stranger.
"Oh, my name is Cerberus." The green stranger said revealing his name.
"Like the the headed dogs?" Valtryek ask pointing at the real Cerberus.
"Yes, and Cerberus have a name you know." Cerberus said defending his friend.
"Oh, sorry. Keru, right." Valtryek look at Cerberus and call him Keru. The third head respond with a growl.
"They all have names." Cerberus said that the three heads have names.
"All of them?" Roktavor said glaring at Keru.
"Yes.. The first one is Besu, the second one Ken, and you already know the third one." Cerberus said mumbling a little because he was a bit shy meeting these strangers.
"They're so fluffy!~" Valtryek hugs the side of the real Cerberus feeling it fluffy fur again. It was like hugging a warm furry cloud.
"You live in Midori Village right?" Roktavor said as he walk up to human Cerberus.
"Y-yeah... Why do you ask?" Cerberus nod and ask why.
"Me and my friend were heading over there." Roktavor said.
"Really, I'll show you a faster way to get there." Cerberus was offering a hand to help Roktavor and Valtryek to get to his village.
"Are you sure? We did made a bad expression and I almost did hurt your demon dog." Roktavor said scratching the back of his head. He's manly and violently but he does have manners and respect.
"It alright, this happens sometimes." Cerberus weren't mad at them because it was logical to get scared of something that looks evil.
"If you say so.. Valtryek stop hugging the demon dog, let go!"
"......" Valtryek didn't replied.
"VALTRYEK!!"
".........."
Roktavor and Cerberus look at each other and walk up to Cerberus's side.
"Zzz... Zzzz.... Zzzz..." Valtryek was sleeping on Cerberus's furry fluffy side.
"Great... His asleep." Roktavor sweat drop and sigh.
"Should we wake him up?" Cerberus ask.
"No.. Let him sleep, he need this." Roktavor said caring for Valtryek's health.
"O-ok.. Guys, can you put him on your back, please." Cerberus ask nicely to his friend to move Valtryek on their back. Besu and Ken nod as Keru just huff. Ken grab Valtryek's back shirt with his teeth and drag him on his back almost close to his shoulder blades.
"Zzz... Zzzz... Zzzz..."
"Ok, which way do we go?" Roktavor look at human Cerberus and was ready to go.
"We just have to go this way." Cerberus point at the direction they needed to go.
"Alright, lead the way!" Roktavor cheered manly and continue walking through the forest.
"Zzzz... Zzzzz... Zzzzz.... Hm!..." Valtryek tighten both of his fists and feeling anxious.
All of the white carnation's petals slowly fell to the ground as the black vines expands more and growing it's roots on the ground and affection the forest by warping it around and suck there life energy away.
As are heroines follow Cerberus they were finally at Midori Village.
"We're here." Cerberus smile shyly and show his village to Roktavor.
"Nice.~" Roktavor whistled and like at the scenery but his hometown is better.
They continue walking through the village as everyone were friendly with each other. They were a little anxious with Roktavor and Valtryek but they were with Cerberus meaning these strangers are nice and harmless. Cerberus lead the heroines to his home.
"Mom, Dad I'm home." He enter his cabin and checks if his parents are home.
"Guess there at the hospital hut."
"Are they sick?" Roktavor ask looking around the cabin.
"No, they preform a puppet shows for sick little kids for entertainment and make them smile." Cerberus blush shyly and replied Roktavor's question.
"Aww, that's sweet." Roktavor thinks that nice and sweet to help the sick.
"I'll show you the guest room for Valtryek to rest."
"Thank you."
Besu, Ken, and Keru lay down so Roktavor can pick up Valtryek and take him to the guest room.
"It's just right here." Cerberus open the door and show the guest room.
"Sorry, with the small mess from the back. Are storage closest got full." He apologize about the mess in the guest room.
"That's okay." Roktavor doesn't mind it and put Valtryek in bed.
"Zzzzz..... *snore* Zzzz.... *snore* Zzzz...." Valtryek was sleeping peacefully in bed.
"Do you want anything?" Cerberus ask if Roktavor wants food, water, a meal, or look around the village.
"Do you have any Dragon Fruit tea?"
"Tea?.." He made a confused face at Roktavor a muscular Jotun likes tea.
"What? Just because I'm muscular and tough that doesn't mean I don't like tea." Roktavor made a annoyed face.
"S-sorry!... I didn't mean to judge." Cerberus stuttered and didn't mean to be rude. Roktavor cross his arms and huff.
"Sorry.... Uuum... Will you like Vegetable Fritters with your tea?" Cerberus ask nervously and playing with his fingers.
"Yes, that sound nice." Roktavor will love that.
They left the guest room and make themselves something to eat.
"Zzzzz... *snore* Zzzz... Zzzzzz.... Hmm.... Hmm..." Valtryek feeling anxious and tense in his sleep.
"..........." *GASP* He shot his eyes up and he was standing in a field of blue flowers and it was night.
"How did I get here?.... Where did everyone go? Why is it night??" Valtryek looks around and don't know where he is.
"Huh!?" He quickly turn around and see something glowing from a distance.
"Hello, is someone there!" Valtryek shouts and asking if someone or anyone was over there.
The glow starts fading away from Valtleyre's shouting.
"Eh!?! W-wait, don't go!" Valtryek starts running where the glow was coming from. He was standing through the forest and catching his breath from all that running.
Valtryek pants and look at his surroundings and trying to find that glow again.
"I'm sorry for shouting..." He apologized and make a guilty awkward face.
... ... ...
Valtryek sigh sadly and close his eyes in defeat.
A small breeze blew behind Valtryek like a whisper in his ears.
"!!" Valtryek shot his eyes up and turn around seeing a white light blue spirit deer hiding behind the bushes.
"H.. Hi." Valtryek stuttered and took a hesitated step forward. The deer run away from Valtryek.
"Eh!? Not again..." Valtryek pouts and chase after the deer.
With Roktavor & Cerberus...
"You know, I'm not a big fan of vegetables but this is delicious." Roktavor not gotta lie, this is delicious.
"Thank you, it's hard to be a vegan. But I'm glad you like it." Cerberus smile sweetly.
Besu, Ken, and Keru shrink themselves so they can eat their meal in their food bowl.
"How did you get that Cerberus?" Roktavor ask curiously.
"In are village everyone get there own familiar at the age of eleven. Like in other villages they all get their grimoires to cast spells. Here are familiars increases are spells or help us do sample things like making fire or a small rain cloud." Cerberus explain about familiars.
"But my question is, how did someone like you got something like this." Roktavor still questioning at someone who is nice got something evil and chaotic.
"Hm?" Cerberus make a plain dumdfound face.
"Grrrrrr!!!!..." Real Cerberus growl at Roktavor.
"Nevermind... But this village still have grimoires right?" Roktavor change the subject.
"Oh, yes we do but we don't use them for attacking because are village is peaceful and non violent. But we do use them for cooking or cleaning."
"Make sense, this village doesn't have that blood lust smell." He doesn't sense that angry or blood lust in this village.
"You can smell that from just the environment?"
"Yeah, living underground give me this new ability skill called Spatial Awareness."
"Spatial Awareness?" Cerberus tilts his head a little confused, he never heard that ability before.
"Spatial Awareness is a ability to be aware of objects in space and your body's position in relation to them." Roktavor explain his ability skill.
"That's a interesting ability you have."
"Than-!!!" Roktavor quickly stand up and slam his hands on the table.
"Aaaaah!?!" Cerberus flinch and didn't expected that reaction.
"Do Jutons hates compliments??" He thought nervously and slowly back away.
"Something coming to attack the village..." Roktavor senses something chaotic in the ground.
"What? Who will do something like this?!" Cerberus asking in shock.
"It's not a person or an animal...." Roktavor senses it's not human or an animal this thing have strong dark magic and power.
"Then what is it?" Cerberus ask anxiously.
"It's a plant with thrones?..." Roktavor made a face expected like a spirit or unknown force but not a plant. Cerberus's eyes slowly widen in fear and shock.
"The Plunder Vines..."
"But aren't they extinct, the Aesir who created them is dead. How are they still growing?" Roktavor knows about the Plunder vines there malignant roots and vines can virulent or infection like a disease or poison to anything that have life or not.
"They are but I didn't expect them to still grow all these years..." Cerberus replied to Roktavor's question.
"I think this a bad time to tell you this..."
"About what?" He raise an eyebrow still having a frightened face. Cerberus heard panicking screams outside his house.
"It's here..." Roktavor sweat drop.
"EEEEEEEEHHHHHHH!?!?!?!?!" Cerberus having a panicking attack stroke. Besu, Ken, and Keru trying to calm him down.
"This is no not time to have a panic attack! We got to stop the vines from growing!" Roktavor shouts at Cerberus to snap out of it.
"Don't yell at someone when they're having a panic attack!..."
"SOR-Ahem!... Sorry. But we do have to stop it."
"How!?"
"I can set them on fire." Roktavor snap his finger showing a small flame on his hand.
"Nooooo!! Don't hurt the plants they have feelings!" Cerberus is a plant lover and will protect them even if they're deadly.
"Do you have any better ideas!" Roktavor growls.
... ... ...
"Wait! Come back..." Valtryek was out of breath chasing after a ghost deer. He stop and catches his breath from all that running. Valtryek panting and looking around his surroundings again.
"I'm lost...." He made a defeated face. Then Valtryek felt a breeze hearing a voice again. He turn around a little and see a one way path.
".............." Valtryek took that path and continue walking through. As he walk deeper into the forest it slowly started to fog up every step that Valtryek takes.
"I can't see anything..." Valtryek thought trying to see where he's going. He slowly took some small step so he won't bump into something.
"Huh?" Valtryek see a glow at the end of the fog.
"Is someone there?" He escape through the fog and saw a field of white carnation flowers under the moonlight sky.
"These flowers again..." Valtryek bend down and pick one up. But then the ground started to shake and the Plunder Vines pop out in the middle of field as a unbloom flower.
"Aaah!?!" Valtryek fell on the ground from the shake. He bend up again and seeing the unbloom Plunder Vines. The vines slowly unwrap itself like a flower and revealing the little girl from Valtryek's dream.
(She was supposed to be staying not floating but here you go.)
"I-it's you..." Valtryek fully stand up and look at her floating as the Plunder Vines was behind her.
She floats down and stand close to Valtryek.
Valtryek stand still and blinks at her. She points at Valtryek's right pocket.
"Huh? Oh, right!" Valtryek goes through his right pocket and pull out the white carnation from his dream from last night. The white carnation turned into that white jewel stone that shine like the rainbow.
"What is this?" Valtryek ask again because last time he didn't get the answer. The little girl hold his hand as everything started glowing.
... ... ...
"GRRRRR!!!! My flames aren't doing anything!" Roktavor's fire abilities isn't working on the Plunder Vines. It's not burning it just absorbing the flames like it was nothing. The vines already spread through the village leaving Roktavor carrying a Valtryek on his shoulder and Cerberus into a corner.
"This is the worst time for you to sleep in the time like this!" He yells at Valtryek hoping he wakes up.
"Zzzz... *snore* Zzzz... *snore* Zzz...."
It did not have any affected
"OH COME ON!!! WAKE! UP!!" Roktavor hold Valtryek like a cat and slap him to wake up.
"I don't think that's HELP-IING!" Cerberus screech loudly as the vine charging at him. But luckily his familiar to save him in time and quickly move back from the danger zone.
"Thank you guys." Cerberus sigh in relief.
"Rwaaaooor!!!" Besu, Ken, and Keru howl as saying your welcome.
"I'm running up of mana." Roktavor fire magic is running out of juice and can't hold the vines back from spreading more.
"I have no choice but to fight back!, Earth Nature Magic! No Risk, No Reward!" Cerberus stand as a summoning circle was charging on his staff with full power.
"No Risk, No Reward?.. Really..." Roktavor makes a face and Cerberus's spell is actually called No Risk, No Reward.
"Don't give me that look! It's already written in the grimoire, I can't control the name!" Cerberus blush from embarrassment. His staff was fully charge and ready to unleash.
"Release!" Cerberus release his magic creating a green solar beam meteor and it was very effected to the Plunder Vines.
"It worked!~" Roktavor cheered.
The Plunder Vines quickly recover and grew fly trap heads.
"Cerberus, quick use your ma-! EH!?"
Cerberus fainted on the ground and he was already out of mana.
"EEEEEEHHHH!?!?!?! YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!" Roktavor isn't ready to die like this.
Besu, Ken, and Keru grab Cerberus and back up with Roktavor.
All of them were trap and nowhere to escape through the Plunder Vines.
"I'm sorry..." Cerberus said tiredly and weak.
"It's okay and it was nice fighting with you."
"Bark!"
They were ready to face death head on.
"................." Valtryek's slowly open his emotionless eyes.
He get off of Roktavor as everything went into slow motion of shock like your facing death itself.
Roktavor, Cerberus, and the boys look at Valtryek in shock seeing someone walking up to deadly plants.
Valtryek's eyes glow yellow as his hair turn white.
He walk up to the Plunder Vines and lift up his hand as the vines sense his life energy.
"Are you crazy!? You'll die!" Roktavor tries to stop him. But it was too late, the Plunder Vines touch Valtryek's hand and everything exploded into white mist. The guys cover there eyes or face from the forceful wind blowing on them. And then white petals blew through the mist.
"Wow....." Cerberus was speechless seeing beautiful white flower petals floating through the sky. As the mist clear up he saw a one path field of carnation flowers.
"............." Valtryek's hair turn back to normal and he fainted. Roktavor quickly run up to him and catch him on time.
"Gaaaah......" Valtryek open his eyes seeing Roktavor, Cerberus, the boys gathering up on him
"Uuummm...... Yes?" Valtryek made a awkward confused look.
"How did you do that!?!" Roktavor shakes him violently.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!?!?!?!?! What did I do!?!" Valtryek being shaken like a rag doll.
"That!" Roktavor grab his head and make him look what he did to the Plunder Vines.
"I did that?..." Valtryek looked shock and surprised that he created a flower field.
"Yeah, you did. You use the first Valkyrie ability, Hanahaki Farga Tears."
"Hanahaki Farga Tears?" Valtryek look at Cerberus dumbfounded.
"Hanahaki Farga Tears is the first Valkyrie who dead from the Hanahaki disease and her pure tears became white carnation's petals. Her tears fell down on the Earth's ground making a beautiful peaceful field of carnations to represent pure light of hope and love.
"A field of carnations....." Valtryek thought about it and remember that little girl in his dream. Something was glowing in Valtryek's right pocket.
"Why is your pocket glowing?" Roktavor noticed it.
"Huh?" Valtryek look at his glowing pocket. He put his hand in and bring out the first white carnation flower he had in his dream from last night and now.
The white carnation turn into a white pure glyph and turn into a white jewel stone that shine like the rainbow.
"This again..." Valtryek hold the jewel stone on his fingers and look at it closely.
"Is that the first Valkyrie's Opal Brooch? I never seen it in person!~" Cerberus gasp and squeal like a fanboy.
"Opal Brooch?" Valtryek look at it closely and remembers that little Valkyrie had a plain/empty brooch on her dress.
"Is this..... Her heart?" Valtryek thought questioning why the first Valkyrie hands him her jewel stone brooch.
"But most importantly, why do you have it?" Roktavor point out the obvious question that needs answers.
"I don't know? It just happen??" Valtryek don't know the answer or the meaning of this.
"What do you mean it just happen?!?" Roktavor said annoyed.
"I'm sorry, amnesia is confusing and I don't know everything!" Valtryek don't know everything because his amnesia, making him like a first born child walking around without adult supervision.
"You-! You got a point.." Roktavor can't denied that, even if Valtryek gets a small glimpse of his memory he can't remember where or when it happened.
"Wait he had amnesia?" Cerberus was like what.
"It's a long story...." Roktavor will explain later.
"Ok, but you'll have to tell me that later. Right now we have a lot of cleaning to do.." Cerberus look at his hometown cover in flowers like snow, but instead of a snow in it's a carnation in.
"How much did I do?" Valtryek questioning his strength.
"It's a long story." Cerberus and Roktavor said in unison looking at Valtryek.
"Hm?" Valtryek don't get it and was acting like a airhead.
After the passed two months of cleaning Midori Village from the carnation in and making beautiful bouquets, flower crowns, or anything you can make from flowers all over the village's flower shops or the village's homes.
With that out of the way, Roktavor explain to Cerberus how he meet Valtryek and why he has anemia. And Valtryek explain his part of the story how he end up here and wondering around without adult supervision.
"That.... That makes little sense but the part I don't get when you said 'I hear whistling sounds'?" Cerberus don't get that part one bit.
"I think it was whistling?... It's hard to describe it." Valtryek don't know what sound he heard when everything was still black.
"Does anyone want more cookies or juice or anything else." Mrs. Cerberus walk into his son's room asking her son or his friends if they want anything else.
"I'll like more juice please.~" Valtryek ask politely.
"Ok." Mrs. Cerberus refill Valtryek's cup as Valtryek's eyes sparkles in joy.
"Thank you.~"
"Your welcome, will you like anything else?" Mrs. Cerberus ask if Roktavor wants anything.
"I'm good thanks."
"Alright, if you want anything else I'll be in the kitchen." Mrs. Cerberus smile and leave the room.
They all said thank you to Mrs. Cerberus.
"Ok, back to topic why does Valtryek have the first Valkyrie's Opal Brooch?" Roktavor said getting back on topic.
"But why do I have it?" Valtryek look at the Opal stone on his hand.
"And how did I get it?"
"I really don't know the answer." Cerberus was clueless too.
"Same here, I wish we have more information about Valkyries.." Roktavor was also clueless and hoping there were more records about Valkyrie before they got extinct.
"There might be records at Murasaki Town." Mr. Cerberus said popping his head out of the window.
"Murasaki Town?" Valtryek never heard that village before.
"Murasaki Town is colony of magic and knowledge, they have rankings for every people depending on their magic and mana."
"Ooooh, they're one of those town/village.." Roktavor huff annoyed and a little hint of anger. He hates colonies that treat weak people like trash and the strong be selfish by there actions.
"Hm?" Valtryek don't understand rankings or why towns or villages do rankings in the first place.
"Why there dad?" Cerberus said look at his dad puzzled.
"There town have more records and knowledge about anything they possess there hands on." Mr. Cerberus visit there town once for a entertaining the sick children.
"Hmmm...... I hate to admit but they do have more records than others villages or towns here." Roktavor sigh angrily and can't believe he's planning to go to Murasaki Town to find more information about Valkyries and maybe Valtryek.
"Now?..." Valtryek ask just wanting to make sure.
"No! We'll leave after we get supplies because Murasaki Town is a long travel to get there. I can fly there and that will take three days but the problem here is that you can't fly." Roktavor planning on materials and how to travel there faster. He has wings to go to any place a little faster then just walking but the main problem is Valtryek don't have any wings.
"Ok, one when did you had wings? And two, why not carry me?" Valtryek didn't know that Roktavor has wings when he first meet him.
"I can't carry a lot of weight I have a limit." Roktavor strong like a giant but can't carry a lot of things while flying at the same time. It's like trying not to pop a fragile bubble through the speed force of the wind.
"..... Are you calling me fat." Valtryek frown and was very offended.
"No!! It's not like that!" Roktavor didn't mean it like that. Even the strongest people have there own limits.
"Hmmmm..........." Valtryek pouts and frown.
"Hmm! 💢" Roktavor huff as smoke came out of his nose.
"Hehehe....💦" Cerberus chuckles awkwardly and sweat drop because he was in the middle of the argument.
2 Weeks Later...
It was time for Valtryek and Roktavor to leave Midori Village and head there new adventure to Murasaki Town.
"Do we have everything? Valtryek looking at his single side bag with extra supplies.
"Yes, the trip is going to be long we better go now before night time comes." Roktavor grab his manly pouch and start walking as he looks at Valtryek's map.
"Is Cerberus coming too?" Valtryek ask.
"Cerberus isn't her-" Roktavor turn around and spotted Cerberus's familiar hiding behind a tree.
Cerberus, Besu, Ken, and Keru were secretly following them.
"We can see you. 💢" Roktavor made a disappointed face because the way they're hiding is noticeable.
Besu, Ken, and Keru comes out in defeat as Ken hold an embarrassed Cerberus from his mouth.
"Hi, Cerberus.~ Hi, Besu, Ken, and Keru.~ Why are you following us?" Valtryek ask innocently.
"I-I.... I want to come with you guys!" Cerberus said embarrassingly like he was confessing his love to a girl.
"Why?..." Roktavor raise an eyebrow looking at him suspiciously.
"I Uh... Um um..." Cerberus started strutting and can't think of the right words.
"I always wanted to go traveling but I was afraid to go by myself without my parents around. And you guys are cool and.... Can we be friends." Cerberus cover his flush face because he was too embarrassed to look at them face to face.
*Gasp~* "Can we Roktavor!~ Can we can we!~" Valtryek always wanted a friend. Whatever that means, but it sounds nice.
"Hmmm........... Ok, but in one condition." Roktavor said yes but he has one ground rule for Cerberus.
"Anything!"
"When we have a spotting point for breaks or camping I'll train you how to control your mana more. Same with you with your fighting skills." Roktavor only rule is to help train Cerberus's magic and strength.
"Yes, sir!" Cerberus salute at Roktavor.
Roktavor sweat drop a little and look at Valtryek.
"Same with you Valtryek, you have power and skills but you can't properly use them."
"Make sense, I can't remember how to fight or when I started fighting..." Valtryek trying to remember was he a fighter or not.
"Good.~ Now, let's get going and find the mysteries of Valkyries at Murasaki Town!~" Roktavor grin madly and point to a new path of adventure.
"Yeah!" Cerberus and Valtryek cheered and ready to go. Besu, Ken, and Keru howl as they pick up the boys and put them on their back.
"Besu, Ken, and Keru can take use there with their leg power. Oh, you guys need to hold tightly." Cerberus gives them a heads up.
"Wh-YYYYYYYYY!?!?!?!?!" Before Valtryek could say anything Besu, Ken, and Keru started running. And their speed were like wild racing horses.
A dark shadow figure was standing on a tree branch in the shadows looking at are heroines going to Murasaki Town. The shadow starts following them to there next journey.
To be continued...
Who is following are heroines?...
Will they get to Murasaki Town without encountering trouble?...
