"Just follow this path." Kimmy said, looking ahead the empty gravel pathway with a thin woodland at the sides. "It isn't too long. And it leads straight to the Monastery of Light. Tell them I sent you there and ask for directions."

Guinevere nodded. The woodland didn't look too dark and she was confident she would arrive there quick using her spells.

But Kimmy still looked hesitant, his face looking paler and his light green eyes looking darker than she saw them earlier. "You have to be careful."

"Is this because of the demon colonies said to be rising from the abyss?"

The boy looked taken off guard, and he looked away. It was enough to tell Guinevere she was right.

So it was true. The Prince of the Abyss was coming.

Kimmy hovered closer to her, looking serious. "If, and I hope you never will, you meet demons along the way, don't try to fight back. Run away and put as much distant from them as possible."

She nodded. But Kimmy's brows furrowed as if he was frustrated by her response.

"Lady Guinevere, you have to take this seriously. It is bad enough that you have to take this time to run around when demon forces are uprising."

"I know. I am taking this seriously." she insisted. "I have never taken something so seriously as this in my life."

Kimmy stared at her. He must have seen how true those words were, because he nodded in satisfaction.

It was true though. Her freedom here was at stake. And she was worried as hell about her brother. He had never left without saying where he was off to before.

"Good. Now off you go. Just follow the path. You have to arrive there before sundown."

"Then see you around." She lunged towards the woodlands, blinking and leaping every few yards or so while hurtling through the large roots portruding out of the soil, and stems were bent towards the path so it hit her face a couple of times as she ran.

She would've arrived before sundown if she didn't come into a crossroad. She stopped, frowning.

Kimmy said to follow the pathway, yet he didn't mention which way to take at the crossroad.

The trees and shrubs at the left looked thicker, less stepped on. So she turned to the right and sprinted into it.

She had been deep into it when a loud roar of something apparently big echoed from where she was heading.

She halted, her heart suddenly racing. She had been mostly to Castle Gorge and Ursula Magic Academy all her life that only had she started to realize how dangerous the outside world was.

But she had to swallow down her fear and take that path. She ran, determined to find her brother, determined to break traditions.

She was sprinting so fast that it was too late for her to realize she was not heading towards a big oak tree like the ones she had passed by, but to the back of a big, dark scaly creature.

She halted, her heels sliding through the mossy ground, but the creature heard the slipping of her shoes through the ground.

It turned towards her and she could not help but gasp as she saw its face.

It was a face that obviously did not came from the living world. It had horns as long as her arms and five times as big. Its large, yellow evil eyes had red pupils that seemed to petrify her, its sharp fangs protruding from its bloody mouth .

She was about to blink herself away, but it roared so loud in her face that she screamed, and its large arms sent her flying off the ground.

She grunted as she landed five feet away, feeling something crack in her left side. Then it run towards her, the ground under her shaking at its every step.
