Being Mythical #1: The Hidden Sign

Chapter 27

"I think we're near" Joan said while looking around

"How can you know that? All I see are trees from before" Amias complained

Joan didn't pay attention to Amias instead she went to tree

"Its a sign" Joan said and pointed at the tree

All they can see is a plain tree

"Turn back" Chiru said while looking at the tree that Joan is pointing

"Huh? Where?" Amery asked

"There" He said and pointed at the tree

"I see nothing" Takeo said

"Me too" Amery agreed

"I hear something" Serene said "Water running and.. and a whip.. and people.. screaming" Her eyes widened because of what she heard

"We are close" Amery said

"How close?" Takeo asked

"I can't clearly hear it, my hearing is distanced for about 25 kilometers" She said and raised her palm infront of us telling us to shut up while she was thinking

"We are 23 kilometers away from the village" Serenity said

"Let's get going" Chiru said

The trees were not like before, they are all dead and spikey

"The nature here is weak" Chiru said

"The Quislings don't care about plants, all they care about is making the Ophi mythics slaves" Joan bitterly said

Serene tapped her shoulder and smiled at her but she didn't even look at her

"Why don't we rest a while?" Amias asked, he was about to sit on a tree but Chiru immediately pulled him

"We can't rest here, we have to keep walking" Chiru said

"What's wrong?" Amery asked him

"Those trees have been enchanted" He said "Once you touch it or even poke it, it's spikes will rip you to death"

"Death, right! don't wanna die" Amias said and continued walking

While walking the trees were starting to get closer to each other making the path smaller and smaller every time we pass by
