It had been 3 days since she left the kingdom and all she did was whine. She manage to enter one of the villages she had marked down.
It was called Daisy Valley, as this place was filled with daisy flowers! It was quite the stunning view only if she didn't have to rush to another place, she would've placed a picnic blanket down and eat some lunch.
Sadly that dream was short live, since she had a nagging adult/wolf beside her reminded her that she need to keep thing business simple.
It was a sunny afternoon and....
Angelica had been pouting all the way to their next destination. Harry had already turned a blind eye to her antics and rest his head for sleep as they both travel on top of Helix.
"But I heard the tea was amazing! The tea!" She groaned and continued, "I suck at cooking but TEA! It's tea my friend! Who doesn't love it! And you didn't even let me try it!" She continued her tantrum.
"Master, we already got the metal! How can we take tea with us? Stop being unreasonable." Harry said with us eyes closed. Who is she kidding? Cooking was her specialty, her words were just blank lies to his ears.
"Sniffle*, My tea! My Calendula Tea! My Hibiscus Tea! I'll get you sooner or later!!" Angelica was putting on a dramatic act. Harry finally put up a water barrier around himself so that he could block out the wails!
Angelica: "....." she was speechless!! All she wanted was tea!! How could they be so heartless!!
After her dramatic act, they travel until it reached noon so they decided to stop and camp out the night.
They had stopped near a place called Keon. It was a Forest filled with tall trees. They travel inside of awhile until they reached at huge tree and decided to place their camp spot here.
Helix had already shank for his huge size to a normal one. He was exhausted and so Angelica brought out some bedding for him. Laying it on the ground she told Helix to rest while both her and Harry took turns to guard the place and make some food.
Angelica had wanted to wash up actually but there was no water available and using her magic would be a waste so she only washed her face and hands, before going off to cook some food.
Harry was in charge off scouting the grounds he had already made a full round while collecting some small berries and herbs for eating. He couldn't hunt for anything since he didn't find any. He actually found it strange.
Where could all the animals have gone? Isn't a forest usually full of them?
He decided to make another round before heading back since he felt uneasy. His sensitive ears listening for a long time but he couldn't even hear the sound of birds!
Harry tried running back to the destination of the camp and was soon blocked by a huge figure towering over him. His eyes widened in shock not and felt the in coming danger.
He encounter something that he didn't want to meet.
'Master, I think we chose the wrong forest...' as he looked up at the tall figure drooling at him.
Harry wolf eyes sharpened as he ran in full speed away from the large thing. But was picked up to be thrown away.
On Angelica side, she and Helix were currently munching on some meat that she whipped up quickly with some herbs she had.
Finishing up she looked around and saw that Harry had yet to return. A frown appeared in her face and she looked towards the direction Harry went.
It's already been an hour, since when did scouting become such a long trip for him?
Helix finally noticed that something was wrong and growled at the direction Harry went in. Angelica had already called upon her staff.
She quickly casted at invisible spell and soon the while camping area was cover up and no one could find them. It was like they vanished but actually she just place camouflage spell so they don't notice them. The spell will only be broken if one of them were to talk out loud.
'What is happening? How come I don't sense anything? Where is Harry?' Angelica had walk to towards the direction Harry left in, but stayed in the barrier.
It had been 3 hours since they had been here and Harry had been gone for an hour. It's way past midnight, so why is he taking this long?
She didn't like it. Not one bit of it. She snapped her fingers thrice. No magic spell was casted but instead Helix reacted to it and in moments he became a tiny sized wolf that could fit in Angelica's shoulder.
This was their signal of battle and when Angelica didn't want them to interfere. It was also her way of saying that she'll protect them.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The ground around them started to shake. To her horror it was a group of Ogre's. This was bad! Like really bad! Earlier when she cooking she had already noticed it was abnormally quite and now she finally understood why.
From the looks of it these ogre's are starved and they are probably prepared to eat anything! Like anything!
There where three of them and there huge built was actually scary. Ogre were close to the giant race but they were more on the smaller-ish side, but the main point was that there food source was humans. She's actually glad that she didn't meet a giant but an ogre.
Angelica who always appreciated beauty felt that this scene of these ogres walk around in this beautiful forest bother her a lot. It was repulsive!!
But she didn't want to fight them. They were beings that had high resistance against magic and it was troublesome. Also her magic wasn't at top shape to fight all three of them, she could probably beat them if she wanted to.... if she tried too.
"Helix try finding Harry! Right now our top priority's to leave here without fighting, if possible!" She spoke in a hush voice. "On my signal, use your magic and find Harry and escape using the crystals on your ankles. You guys can break them if you find that your in a serious situation! I forgot to tell you guys that!"
Helix: "....." Master, why do you always explain things half heartedly?
But he did as he was told and soon the barrier was let down and the ogre finally noticed them.
