"I'm sorry but Jade may not wake up ever again"the old woman said which made Zen very upset

"WHAT!!! Why ??? You must be joking you old hag ?"

"No Zen learn to accept the truth !!"

"What happened to her ?"

"She was bitten by a rare and a poisonous snake and the herb to cure that is very hard to find .Even if it is found , it should be consumed within a week else the person will die no any herb can be used to treat except the MELLOW SALFLOWER which is believed to be found only in the MISTY WOODS which is six miles far away from here not only that , no human till date has been able to return back after entering the forest "

"Its impossible for me to go there as I am already old also I cannot use my magic powers to the fullest at this age.

"I am going "

"WHAT!!!! you are too young to go there and you may not be able to come back alive "

"I have to save Jade no matter what !! And we never know unless we try old hag "

"BUT STILL HOW CAN YOU ?"

"I don't know either still I'll try my best to find that herb and bring her back"

"We still have many things to learn and explore also we are together gonna find the truth of the world" Zen said stroking her silky hair

"Old Hag I'm leaving now "

" Wait ! You punk !! Here take this "

"What is this ?? This is your food and also these are some herbs in case your magic power goes down then consume this but remember that you can only have these in case of emergencies as these herbs may have some serious side effects "

"Thanks old hag!! See you after a few days "

"Yeah! Yeah bye!!WAIT!WAIT "

"What now"

"Do you even know how that herb looks ?"

"Hmmmm.... No idea"

"Dumb head! wait a second , I'll bring something"She left and after a few moments , she came back along with a old and thin book in which the details about the herbs were written "

"Thanks !! old hag ! Bye!!"

Zen bid farewell to the old hag in order to get the MELLOW SALFLOWER from THE MISTY WOODS to cure Jade .

Zen pov:

I left from the old house to go to "THE MISTY FOREST " now where the heck am I supposed to go ??

"Come to think of it , the old book might come handy . He then took out the book received from the old lady and read about the MISTY FOREST 

"So I just have to go south from here but which is the south "

"Uggh.. I'm so bad at directions!!"

I see some group of children  beating a powerless child mercilessly

"Uggh.. I'm so sick of this things  anyways it's better not to get involved !!!"

"Well now where the hell is south direction" I look for some people but I do not find any I didn't have any option so I went there and asked one of the members of the group

"Excuse me!Do you know how to get to the MISTY WOODS"

"HAHA ! ! You wanna go to the MISTY FOREST what a joke . Do you even know that you can't come back alive if you go there . And you mere village boy is speaking with the noble's children so don't you know you have to bow before speaking huh?"

"Do you know or not "Zen said

"No !!! little boy but that is not the way to talk to the nobles ! Apologize !!"

"Oh if you don't then why waste time I guess I'm gonna find some other person !"

"Do you not hear what I say APOLOGIZE !!"

"Sorry but I don't give apology to people like you "

"Do you know who are you talking to "

"Yeah ! an irritating scum" Zen said 

"Shall I make your life a hell like that scum? (he pointed to the child who was getting beaten by them mercilessly )"

"Do what you like !! you don't have to ask me "Zen

"How dare you punk?? boys let's finish him "

One of the boys started attacking him Zen dodged the attack

"Hey I'm in a hurry and I'm not in a mood to fight so let me go on my way"

"SHUT UP and I challenge you to fight us"

"Well.......I refuse "

"Bye ! see you around"

"Stop you rascal he said and hit a stone in his head really hard but they were surprised to see his hades ability !!!

"WELL I SAID I'M NOT IN MOOD TO FIGHT BUT GUESS I HAVE TO YOU ALL REALLY PISSED ME OFF" 

He took out his sword and was about to attack . The members of the noble family all his behind their leader as they were trembling seeing how much magic Zen possessed the leader too was terrified as hell but his pride was on stake so he decided to fight .

"Wi....wind magic " He said  a small tornado out of magic was visible but it soon disappeared as he was not confident about his magic soon they all began to run for their lives because they all thought that Zen could kill them in an instant using his ability

"THOSE BRATS! THEY REALLY PISSED ME OFF" Zen said and discovered a boy trembling in the ground he was none other than the boy who was being bullied a while ago  he offered a helping hand and lifted the boy

"Now ! whom will I ask the direction to go to THE MIST FOREST???"Zen said frustrated

"Uh.....hm! I can take you there if you want" He said

"What really ! Thanks ! So the fight was fruitful" Zen said

THEY BEGAN THE JOURNEY TO THE MIST FOREST IN ORDER TO SEARCH THE  MELLOW SALFLOWER
