Chapter 235 - The Shaman

Chapter Cover: Nyssa and Eve seating side by side as they were looking up toward the star filled sky with Nyssa pointing upward.

As she had promised, Nyssa had returned when I was finally fully healed from my injuries which were a few days later. I was once again wearing the same white clothing I had on before as I was preparing myself to finally leave this place. I had tied my hair in a low ponytail with some bangs falling in front my eyes.

"You're well enough to travel?" Nyssa had asked as she had appeared.

I turned my attention at her. She was wearing pants now thought, she doesn't seem to share her need for wearing a shirt for she still had the same armor looking bra on. At least she didn't have that angry look on her face anymore something that I was grateful for.

"You're taking me to see that Shaman you talked about?"

Nyssa nodded.

"I spoke to him about you," she said, "It seems that he already knew that you had come on to this country since he could feel your magic power..."

I stared at her shocked.

"Where do he stay again?"

"Two days away from here," Nyssa answered, "There is a forest not too far from the capital."

He could sense my power from that much distance? I thought shocked at what the young woman had casually revealed.

"How powerful is that Shaman of yours?" I asked her.

Nyssa chuckled, almost amused at what I asked her.

"He is not a fighter," she said, "But I have seen him do pretty amazing stuff. He says he want to meet you before I even say anything else and he told me to bring you to him. It's the first time I had seen him so interested in something else before."

I frowned.

"I have been curious about the Allorus ever since I first found out that I was connected to them," I told her, "If there is someone out there that is willing to give me a straight answer, then I don't have a problem meeting them."

"Good," Nyssa said, "Then come with me."

Nyssa had taken me out of the castle and out of the capital of the Empire. They were soldiers pretty much everywhere in the capital, but it didn't seem that people were really feeling oppressed by the presence of the soldiers at all. They almost welcomed it as flag of the Empire danced in front of a lot of buildings. It was quite strange to see something like that as we made our way out of the city.

We were on horseback most of the time we traveled with Nyssa in front of me and I was following after her. The country was really beautiful in my eyes and yet it was also different than Fiore. There was nothing that was quite familiar about it in the way that Fiore was to me whenever I traveled throughout that continent. Nyssa was a woman of a few words during our travels, speaking only when there is something to explain about the state of the country.

"Considering how long ago the Alvarez Empire stood," she said, "Everyone had pretty much accepted it as a way of life...thought it is not always as perfect as we have hoped."

The two horses were side by side on the road now which stretched in front of us indefinitely. The young woman was looking straight ahead as she was speaking and I was chancing a glance at her direction now and then, thought my eyes were drawn toward the sprawling green lands that were in front of me.
