Creation - The Path of a God

Chapter 16

The sound of wagon wheels, horses, and conversations amongst the students could be heard, as they journeyed towards their destination.

Feeling the stone and dirt under her body as she glided across it, Anacolis looked around and tried to observe everything. They had been traveling for a day, leaving the city to train. Watching the number of students as some of them rode in wagons while others walked, Anacolis found the entire event amusing. Talking with Queen, she had learned that the Overflow would be something that none of these students would be able to handle currently. This made the trip a complete farce and only meant to instill confidence before the Overflow occurs.

Anacolis glanced over at where her Master was sitting, enjoying the comfortable ride in his carriage. On his left there was Brittany, and on his right there was Selestra, both looking as if they were enjoying being around him. Even though her Master had a relaxed look on his face, Anacolis knew that he was exceedingly happy being surrounded by those who love him. There used to be times when his face would drop, due to some past trauma. Whenever she would see that, Anacolis wanted to bring her Master into her embrace and just hold him. Even now, she felt the need to have him in her arms keeping him safe and sound.

"Sister, Master looks very happy." Aracia walked up to her.

Tearing her eyes from him, Anacolis looked at her sister. Even though they were not blood sisters, the fact that they were created at the same time made them feel that they had a natural bond with one another. "Yes. It makes me happy to see that he is happy." She answered.

Deciding that everything looked secure, the two of them went ahead of the convoy to scout out the area. The area that they were traveling was a thick forest, which was perfect for the Jungle Sisters. Both of them had bodies that were well designed for the uneven surface that's inherent inside of a jungle or forest. For bipedal creatures, they always had to worry about roots sticking out, sudden depressions in the ground, and numerous other safety concerns. With Anacolis and her sister, they could just smoothly navigate the dangers without losing speed.

"Sister, I am glad that you had the forethought to consume that assassin," Anacolis mentioned in an off-hand manner.

Aracia, who was slightly ahead, looked back and smiled sweetly. "She was a very attractive, and delicious, woman. Our Master would have surely found an interest in her, which is not his fault. I just made sure to take the initiative, so our Master would not have to put himself in such a position."

"Our Master is lucky that we are by his side so that he is not tempted by flies," Anacolis said supportively.

"Help!!!" A woman screamed out.

Both of them stopped and looked over at the direction where the voice was calling out. "We should look at what is happening," Aracia suggested.

"I agree, sister." Anacolis followed after Aracia. She smoothly glided over fallen trees and navigated her way between obstacles.

When they reached a river, Anacolis moved ahead by cutting through the high current. Aracia was forced to climb a tree, and attaching her web to a dagger, she threw it across and wrapped her web onto the trunk of a tree on the other side of the river. This allowed her to create a bridge for her to cross.

Reaching a clearing, Anacolis saw a woman and child running away from a group of bandits. While she was thinking about what to do, Aracia approached her.

"Looks like the woman is going to be killed by the bandits." Aracia casually mentioned.

"Based on how quickly the bandits are moving, they are likely former military. I doubt that the woman will have a pleasant death, probably raped in front of her child." Anacolis leaned against a tree.
