It was a crisp 9 in the morning, and almost a year had passed. Grayfia was currently in the dungeons trying to clean it up, at least some it, she still hadn't given up. It would take a significant amount of time for her to emerge from its depths back to the mansion.
As I stood at the edge of the lush garden that surrounded the Barbatos mansion, I knew that as soon as I stepped beyond its boundaries, Grayfia would know. The garden was a peaceful oasis, a stark contrast to the dense and imposing forest that lay beyond its borders.
I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small object, which I placed on the saddle of a Nightmare. I gave him a slap on the hindquarters, and he let out a fierce neigh before galloping away across the vast plains of the estate, joining his fellow horses in their morning run.
The forest loomed ahead, a mysterious and uncharted wilderness. With a deep breath, I raised my foot and took my first step into the forest.
Nothing happened...Why?
Well you see, you remember the dungeons, right?
I actually found something there, I found a manual on how to make Voodoo Dolls tucked away in a corner of the damp, musty prison cell.
I don't know how or why the hell was it there. It was probably left behind by some prisoner in the past who was practicing some sort of Black Magic.
Anyway it's not the type of Voodoo Doll you are imagining. These dolls were not created to inflict harm on a person by hurting the doll. No, this was something far more intriguing.
The manual explained that by using a strand of hair from the person I wanted to create a doll of, their presence would be copied into the doll.
This meant that if one were to use their senses to sense me, my Voodoo Doll and I would have the same feeling. In other words, it would be like sensing two of the same person.
The possibilities of this were endless. I could use it to bait people during fights and my opponent would have no way of knowing who was who, unless they actually saw the doll. This was quite a valuable tool in my arsenal
Anyway, the thing I threw in my garden was my Voodoo Doll, so for Grayfia I'm still in the garden. The Nightmares were trained to not leave the boundaries of the estate, so they would just be roaming over there
You might be wondering why I'm wandering around here. Well, there isn't any grand reason behind it, no master plan or future move that I am going to execute. I am simply here..... because I am bored. You can't possibly expect me to stay cooped up in the house all day and all night, nor can you expect me to just roam the town aimlessly.
This isn't even the first time that I've ventured out this way. I started doing this like a month ago and Grayfia hasn't suspected anything.....at least, I don't think she has. I usually use this time to practice my hunting skills, stalking and taking down the beasts that roam the wilds of the estate. It's training and entertaining
It's really relaxing in the nature anyways, I feel a sense of peace and tranquility as I walk deeper into the lush forest. It reminds me of the camping trips I used to take with my dad in my past life.
I knew I was being reckless, but I couldn't help but feel stifled by Grayfia's overprotection. I knew she meant well, but sometimes I just needed to breathe and clear my head. I wasn't going into the forest unarmed, anyway. I had a vial of Phoenix Tears with me, gifts from the Phenex Clan, and a Teleport Rune Stone
The Teleport Rune Stone was a powerful tool that I could use to instantly teleport myself back to the Barbatos mansion if I found myself in danger. With it, I have the capabilities to escape from anyone under Satan-Class. Though it was a one-time use and could only take one person, it was instant though.
