The legend: Volume 1

Chapter 21

Mayvel gets up as she grabs out her phone, "I have to record this, everyone is not going to believe me!" She starts tapping the screen.

Gemerai's eyes widen when she looks up and sees Via wings. She whispers to herself, "it's you?"

Via puts a hand over Mayvels phone, "What are you doing here, Mayvel?"

"My house is just before this creepy forest. I heard Leona, so I came to see what you guys were up to. I'd never imagine anyone would be crazy enough to actually enter the forest," Mayvel puts her phone in her back pocket.

"And what in seven stars made you think it'd be a good idea to follow us out here in the face of danger?"

Mayvel opens her mouth to speak but is distracted by Via's wings. She subconsciously tries to touch them.

Via's wings hugs against her body, "Mayvel, are you even listening?"

"Oh, please let me touch your wings! I've heard a rumor that your wings are extremely soft, but no one actually knows since you never let anyone touch them."

Via raises an eyebrow and takes a step back, "oh-okay, that's a weird rumor to spread. I just simply don't like people to touch me. Especially people I barely know."

Leona pulls Via closer to her to whisper, "d-did she just say you are the general?"

"Y-yeah?"

Leona pauses for a moment before saying, "so, um, what exactly does that machine do?"

Via sighs, "it controls my ships. You know, like giving commands and coordinantes and stuff of that nature..."

"So, when I... um..."

"Yes, but that's why we're here. If I'm being honest I should've just locked my door that night. So, technically we're both at fault."

"Oh boi, she must never find out who actually did the thing..."

"Yeah, good luck with that," Via focuses back on Mayvel.

"Can I follow you guys? I'm bored at home and kinda grounded..."

"Mayvel, this is a two week trip. Wouldn't your parents get worried? And what about school? Not to mention you don't have a backpack full of clothes and I didn't pack extra food for another person."

"I can always figure school and parents out later. As for my clothes I'll be just fine in this. And I can catch my own food. Please let me come, I'm bored."

"Little irresponsible, mmm, let me think..." Via puts a hand to her chin, "I guess the forests ahead won't be dangerous weather wise... plenty of food as far as I know about those forests... Yeah, fine, sure, why not... But you will be responsible for yourself. If there is danger we will help, other than that you're on your own."

Gemerai shoots to her feet, "wait, you're just going to allow her to join us? Just like that?" she points to Mayvel, "Even after all the crap she's put us through?"

"Look, we don't have time for this. Rather than argue we need to keep going before that door shuts forever. So, do you want to save your people or not?"

"Tsk, fine..."

"Good, now," Via turns around, "get on my back."

"Huh!?"

"Aw, why does she get to climb on your back?" Mayvel whines.

"Why do I need to climb on your back? My legs aren't broken."

"Because," Via puts her bag on Gemerai, "this part requires flying. Nino, can you carry two personal?"

"Yeah, give me a sec," Nino opens her V.P. and hops in.
