The Arcadia Chronicles III: Wood Elf Quest

The Mark On The Woods

Third person's POV

Izanami said It looks like everyone is here, we'll be checking the forest Axel is talking about. He noticed one person missing By the way, where's Sylvia? Liliana answered, scratching her head She's a bit tired last night and said that she wanted to sleep a little longer.

Sylvana smiled It's not surprise though, we visited her home and probably has her hands full. Izanami sighed We're going ahead, she can regroup with us later on.

Axel led them to the place where he entered before This is the place. The Wild Rose became tense then entered the forest. Valien frowned What overpowering aura, this is definitely black magic.

Izanagi warned Be on your guard, with this power all over the area, we don't know if something will interfere us. Izanagi commented But why is it limited only to this forest? It's like it was meant to be a barrier. As Wilhelmina stepped in, she felt her magic react to it - she felt pain on her chest to the point that she's kneeling on the ground! 

She gritted her teeth in pain, Erica and Anastasia went to her What's wrong?! The pain eventually went away but left her gasping and covered in sweat Y-Yeah, it's just that the overwhelming aura is affecting my dark magic.

Elsa commented Now that you mention it, there's a certain air in here that makes my skin crawl. Dianne nodded It makes me sick.

As Kiyan entered the area, he suddenly heard whispering sounds from out of nowhere...

Kiyan, hey Kiyan...

Kiyan stopped Can you guys hear that? They look at him Hear what?

There's someone calling my name.

They went silent for a moment then Janus replied I can't hear anything, you must be imagining things. Kiyan shrugged Probably, let's go.

Don't forget who you are, you aim to stain your hands with the blood of magic.

Kiyan's body went cold Who are you?! What are you talking about?! They got startled at Kiyan's outburst, Elsa asked in concern Are you okay, Kiyan? Kiyan is about to reply when an excrutiating pain enveloped his body Aagghh!! Grrrgh!
