Chapter 9

"I swear, if he recovered, I will kill him." Febbie said and her eyes is burned with anger. Lyndsey and Aella didn't react due to exhaustion. They stopped walking to take a rest, Aella was assuming that they already on the top of the mountain.

          The three of them are currently suffering on climbing the mountain. After she explained to the two what happened to her and the doctor's conversation, they didn't waste any time and immediately climbed the mountain after buying the necessities they need to survive the mountain. The hot temperature of the weather was not helping them. Good thing they find a clear water source to refill their containers of water. A wild boars and monsters tried to get in their way.

          "This is hell. I can't even feel some wind." Febbie ranted again. Aella wanted to rant too but she's too tired to speak. Febbie was about to rant again but Lyndsey announced something.

          "We have reached the first location. We just need to go around every corner of this area." Lyndsey said and looked again in the paper she's holding. "We need to split up, so that we could easily find it in shorter time."

          "What is the name and what does it look like?" Aella asked while catching her breath.

          Lyndsey read the paper. "A sundelion. It' does not looked like a dandelion. It just a flower who bloom at night and gives a light like a sun. Its color is similar to the symbol of God of rocks and land, which is bright yellow."

          "A yellow flower called sundelion. Great. I will find thing now. I want to get out of this mountain and bomb some fishes in the river. I'll be back here after an hour." Febbie said and walked to the other way.

          "Is there a specific location of these flowers?" Aella asked Lyndsey who just shake her head. "I will find it now. I'll see you later." She said to Lyndsey. The silent Lyndsey nodded.

          Aella decided to find the flowers between the trees but there is no sign of sundelion. Until she reached a dark side of the mountain. Unusual large trees are covering the entire place and does not allow sunlight to enter. What is this place? A glowing plant are scattered around the are and lights the place. She was supposed to be scared but she feels magical. Fireflies are also scattered and no monsters can be seen.

          She roamed around the place and she saw a familiar color that she wants to find. A bright yellow flower besides the huge rock. She smiled in victory. Finally, after minutes of circling around the place, she found it. Aella moved to pick the sundelion, when she heard a voice.

          "A human. What are you going here, mortal girl?"

          Aella saw a man sitting on a huge rock. A man with pale skin and short, black hair. He has piercing blue eyes and is often seen wearing a flowing white cloak with intricate silver embroidery.

          "I'm sorry. But who are you?" Aella said in confusion. In the looks of him, he is not a human. He looks cold and ruthless.

          ""Ah, another adventurer looking for trouble, I presume?" He said with sarcasm. "You want sundelion and tries to pick it without my permission."

          He's guarding the flowers.

          "My apologies for trying to get flowers without your permission but can I get at least three of your flowers?" She politely asked but the man didn't care about her politeness.

          "Don't waste your breath trying to convince me. These flowers can no be pick." He said to her.

          She's confused. "The doctor said I need to get this flower as an ingredient for the medicine for poison of a slime." She tried to explain to him.
