We climbed down the mountain and entered back to the White Woods. The sunset made us stay for the night inside. We found a clear spot where we can sleep. I take out the packed food David gave us.
"Your job awhile ago was super hard, right? If I was in your position back there, I may die." Phoebe said
"You said it right! By the way, where is the next town we will be in?" I asked
"It's called Hecromacy Town. A town where people mostly use the Dark element."
"If there are 8 elements, what is the strongest of them all?" I curiously asked
"As far as I know, the strongest is the Light, then Fairy, followed by the Dark, the last five elements have the same power."
"I made a good choice then."
"I think so."
We pack the containers back to the bag and sleep.
---next day---
We woke up early as the bird. We put the fire out and pack the camp. We continue to walk inside the woods. We climbed down and by afternoon, we reached the town. We went back to Phoebe's house to do something.
"Do you think it fits you?" Phoebe said while showing some old clothes
"Yeah. Why?"
"This is my brother's old clothes. You need to change your clothes sometimes you know."
She's right. This is the only clothes I've got right now and I need to change. She throw me a small bag to place. She replaced her bag with some clothes of her and some food with cooking utensils.
"Let's eat our lunch before we leave."
Phoebe prepared the food with the remaining food in her pantry. While she's doing the cooking, I placed the plates and utensils we will need. We eat immediately after the food was placed.
"Come on now!" Phoebe said
I did the dishes. We went out and Phoebe locked the door. We went to the road where a new town awaits. Phoebe and I walked through the road and a forest blocked our way. It is called the Monster's Forest because they say that a monster with a humongous height sleeps deep inside the forest. Once it became awake, it destroys everything it sees. Phoebe said that the monster was real. She did saw the monster when she was a little kid. Phoebe and with her family had a visit in Fluonoscent Town when she saw the monster destroying Hecromacy town from far away.
"How did the elder made it back to sleep?" I asked
"By her Hypnotizing Spell, of course!"
"But how did the monster became awake?"
"That's what everybody doesn't know."
We entered and tall trees are inside. I brought out a sandwich. Meters away from the position we've been, a bird-like creature nimbly grabbed it with its long, pointy beak. I used Light Beams at it but it dodged all of them. The creature flew away and seconds after it went away, the ground suddenly moved. I suspect it was the monster being awakened. We ran away but the shaking is still there. We paused and we saw the sunlight by covered by a thing. We slowly turned around and I was right! The monster has been awakened. Phoebe muttered that if the monster charges a beam, I should run because its beam can destroy 1/8 of the forest. The monster held its hand. Electric waves appeared from it.
"Run!" Phoebe shouted
I immediately run deep in the forest. I'm lucky and I know that I can go at the end of this forest
---Phoebe---
Its fists is charged. It placed its hands and discharged the energy gained. I used a Protection Spell to stop the thunder to it me. I substituted at its back and blasted a Flame Blast. Its back has been burnt. It turned around and it tried to stomp me. I used Superpower so I can lift the foot up. I followed it up with a Thunderstorm. I placed my hands in the sky and dark clouds slowly appears above me and the monster. Lightnings stroke on the monster, making its left arm unmovable. The monster sprang up in the sky, preparing for a massive attack. I turned invisible and used a Protection Spell for preparation. It landed on the ground and it left a big crater just like a big meteor landed on. The ground also shake when it landed on. It turned its head left and right searching for me. I used Growth, where plants grows fast and can be controlled by the one who casted, on the monster and knotted the vines on its legs.
"You cannot escape."
I placed my hand in front on me and I used Hypnotizing Spell. Waves came out from my hand. The waves made the gigantic monster drowsy. The monster's eyes slowy starts to close. It tried to step forward but it fell hard, making the earth quake. I ran off to find Blaine
---Blaine---
I fell down while running because of the sudden movement of the ground. I saw a woman dressed in completely black, picking some food at the tree where she stands. She moved her head and our eyes met. As she walks towards me, I crawl backwards because of fear. The lady disappeared. I stand up and turned around.
"Boo!" The lady terrifyingly said
I shouted very loud in surprise. I fell down from where I stand and crawl backwards. Her scary face disappeared. She laugh like there's no tomorrow.
"What's so funny?" I angrily asked
"You're reaction.... made me... so happy! I think.... I'll die... with laughter." She said while laughing hard
"I'm outta here!" I angrily said
"Wait! I can help you get out."
"Do you think, I can trust you after what you did?" I said angrily
"I'm Madame X, not my real name. I'm the elder of Hecromacy Town."
I saw Phoebe running at her back.
"Madame X! Blaine!" She shouted from far away
"Phoebe!" Madame X said.
They hugged each other like they never for a hundred years. I hear them muttering about something.
"Do you know each other?" Phoebe asked
"He know me now but he didn't tell me his name."
"He's Blaine."
"So you're really are the elder." I said
"Well, I'm done getting some food. See you later."
She went back from her position before I came and she grabbed her basket full of food. She walk in the darkness and disappeared in nowhere.
"Let's go out" I said
We continue to walk deep inside the big forest.
"By the way, how's the monster doing?" I asked
"It went back to sleep."
"Did you felt the earth moved?" I curiously asked
"Yeah. That's when the monster fell down."
We walked and walked. About 30 minutes or so, I saw the light of Hecromacy Town. I ran. I stopped on the end of the forest, enjoying the view of the town.
"Get out! Get out! Get out!" A yell I heard nearby.
Seconds after I heard the scream, someone hit me at the back.
"Sorry!"
A girl quickly grabbed her things and zip.
"Are you okay?" Phoebe asked
"Yeah! Did you saw a girl screaming 'get out'?" I asked
"Yes, and I do know her."
"Let's go after her!" I said angrily
"But Madame X is waiting for our arrival at her place."
We walked in the town. Almost all the buildings are painted in black. Phoebe lead the way to the place. A small passage was in the way. A blue torch was on the entrance. I grabbed it and entered in the cave.
