There are things that seems to be real but they are not, things that are real but sometimes ignored.
______________________________________________________
The King and the "gang" soon came back at the Center of the Academy after preparing themselves for a long and exhausting journey to the Howling Abyss. The king himself does not know what lies ahead, nor what is to be expected, at least. He shows courage and valor in order for the "gang" to be motivated and spirited despite of the fact that they might be harmed or in worst case scenario, killed. So what brings the mind of the King for him to bring the "gang" with him knowing that there is no assurance of their safety? Well, here's the deal........ THEY ARE SO PERSISTENT, even though the King in the first place doesn't want them to go with him but because the King couldn't handle the commotion anymore, he just decided to let it be. Seems legit? (Laughs)
"How are we gonna go to the Howling Abyss? By means of what?" Curiously asked by Ophilie who, at last, talk despite of her sadness a while ago.
The King smiled and without any sign of hesitation he said "Foot."
Well, obviously, the King is the only person who is happy about traveling on foot. He didn't build up his Gigantic figure for nothing, you know.
"But don't you have your carriers or something' else?" asked by the gang who are obviously annoyed.
"Of course, I do have! But you kids cannot deny the fact that to travel by foot is more fun than riding on your babysits." Replied the king who is trying to look mad but it seems like the gang didn't notice his "anger".
" Stop this chit-chat and get ready to roll!" commanded the King with a fierce voice that can really motivate your lowly spirit.
But, suddenly a shout from the Delisian Stronghold bursted. "Your Highness, your highness! The Queen has a letter for you and this pouch which seems to be hiding something' very precious to you!"
The king turned and looked the other way, he saw his loyal servant named Alex who is desperately trying to catch up with them.
"What seems to be problem, Alex?" asked the king.
"No problems, your highness, just some stuffs the Queen sent you." replied Alex, who couldn't speak well because of exhaustion.
"Let me see it then." Alex immediately gave the letter and the pouch.
The King read the letter, suddenly ,the once spirited mountain trembled in sadness, his eyes were drenched in tears his body is pale like a squishy sponge.
"Uhm, your Highness, what seems to be the problem?" asked Jake who is slightly carried away by the king's despairing emotion.
The king slowly smiled and is now trying to burst in laughter after seeing Jake's frowned face. "Haha, you are such a mongrel and now you're even a joker? You couldn't be possibly better than that, or is it? Why would I cry if this message tells:
Dear beloved Leticius III,
I didn't forced to stop you because I know you wouldn't listen to me afterall. I didn't even flinched about it 'coz I know you are a man of your word. I know that you know that I'm thinking like this about you. So I just wanna tell ya' , Travel thy path to the Howling Abyss, travel thy path to the truth.
Sincerely yours,
Your loving husband, Therese
Jake who is really annoyed and humiliated said " I hate you, I reckon you, I........ I........ I..... Don't know" who suddenly ran out of words because he didn't want to disrespect his Highness.
The king immediately responded to the words of Jake and without any further ado he said without any emotion , " I pity you , such a low-life, who couldn't even control such a toxic emotion, you know what, anger gives motivation without a purpose, so that motivation is actually a bane in our minds."
He turned back and is trying to reflect for a little while. But the king immediatley patted him on the shoulder and uttered, "Grow up". Jake's sullen face has turned into a haven of smile.
" No hard feelings my dear follower, okay?" Said the king whose smile is really charming.
"I won't" said Jake with a sympatheic nod
As far as they know, Treshie, Ophilie, Freddy and Alex are touched because of their extraordinary personality. Despite of that situation the King is still concious about their quest, so he asked his servant Alex if he wanted to come.
"It would be an honor to serve my king" said Alex who bowed and kneeled afterwards.
"So, are we all set?" asked the king.
"Yes!" Replied by all
"We'll leave this place on a headcount of six, so we MUST return here on a headcount of six, it won't be easy, I'm telling ya' , the place outside Delisia is like a nightmare of a starry dreamer, a coffin for a reaper and a cliffhanger for a reader . No one have ever squandered nor glance at that place. Just like what I said awhile ago, the road to the Howling Abyss is enigmatic, thus causing us to be vulnerable to any harm. So let's be alert, attentive and sensitive on our environment, no one knows when the rain will fall." said the king on a very motivating and caring voice.
The whole team starts to walk and as they walk, people around them are giving their words of guidance and safety, people around them are also offering things that could help them. All people do are cheerful and delighted by their unravelling quest. As Jake stares at the crowd, then there he saw a man wearing the same robe like the mysterious man he saw the day before. He winked. Suddenly, the man is nowhere to be found. He thought he was just hallucinating.
Jake whispered to himself "I sense something, it is nothing, probably."
