Into the Other World

18.

Eta was obviously injured,she was panting like crazy,she was so weak she couldn't even stand anymore and Christofre was holding her tightly in his arms,she was shaking and her entire body was as cold as ice. Jasper's hands had burned his hand,Ivy's flames were too strong,they were even enough to burn the whole of Ashness. Ivy had secluded herself,staying as far away as she could from the others was better than being with them and hurting them,according to her.

"I'm going to go search for Ivy",said Jasper.
"Be careful",warned Lucy,"She might still be angry".

Jasper smirked.

"I'm not afraid of her",he said and then left in search of Ivy.

In the farther side of their camp,in the forest under a huge tree,there Ivy sat sobbing.

"Crying doesn't solve anything",reminded Jasper.

Ivy looked up and saw Jasper standing near her,she moved further away from him.

"Stay away from me",she cried.
"But..."
"I don't want to hurt you",she interrupted.

She then got a glimpse of Jasper's hands,she saw the bandage and knew that it was all because of her.

"Go back to the camp",she sobbed.
Jasper just stood there for a while then obeyed her and left.
"Where's Ivy",inquired Eta.
"She not coming",said Jasper,"She said that she doesn't want to hurt us".

Eta in a bad condition tried to stand up and when she managed to do so,set out to find Ivy.

"Princess you'll kill yourself",said Lucy.
"You all need to hear what I have to say",said Eta,"Especially Ivy".

She went to the forest but Ivy was not there anymore,she was starting to get worried. She continued to search for her but found someone else.

"That demon is over there",Amara pointed out.
"Amara,long time no see",said Eta.
"Follow me",said Amara.
Amara led Eta to a stream nearby,there Ivy was sitting. The moment she saw Eta,Ivy jumped and ran.
"Ivy I have something to tell you",Eta shouted.
Ivy stopped on her tracks and looked at Eta.
"Let's go back to the campsite",pleaded Eta.

Ivy agreed and they head back to the camp. Amara followed them half way,but she stopped at the forest.

"Join us",said Eta.

Amara refused the offer and continued on her way.

"Join us and everything will be as it was before",begged Eta,"I will make sure of that".

Amara gave it a thought for a moment, and after a while she agreed and headed with the two back to the campsite.

Meanwhile,Claudia's son,Harley and Irin had prepare a huge formation of armies in order to search for the demon and her helpers,who were also regarded as traitors of the throne.
