NEW JOURNEY

Around 10 pm I went to bed as soon I lay on the fluffy bed my eyelid closed on its own. After Kayla slept Will goes inside her room, stroked her forehead, and sighed "I guess you will know the truth through me". next morning I heard my name being called. rubbing my eyes I went outside "yawns what's happened why are these people here this early morning." just then William started to speak at first I couldn't believe my ears, standing like a stone I stared at his eyes. seeing my reaction Will sighed "Kayla...what I just told you is true and you mustn't let anyone know about that until the time comes. since you awaken your power. sir Yuno will be your guard and you will be traveling toward Novus kingdom and show this. - passed a crimson crate with a majestic lion's face embedded in it."

After an hour along with me, sir Yuno, Selena, and max started our mission. before starting I turn back and hug Will "father, I will become a knight after this mission. Selena checks everything in advance, Max will be our cook and doctor he may be young but he is the best apprentice of the chief doctor, sir Yuno is Will's friend's son who is two years elder than me. honestly, I have only seen him 3 times in my whole life and for some reason, he seems to avoid me. to reach Novus kingdom it will take a month till then we have to cut our expenses to the minimum and I get that but we have been walking for 2 hours other than me no one appears to be tired.

reaching my limit..." say shall...we all take a break for a while" hearing me others turned back and realized that I'm fallen quite a distance. Selena and Max agreed to take a break. Selena uses her magic to create cookware, a small table for 4. Max starts to prepare food. just then Sir Yuno sat down and creating fire. everyone is been so quiet all this time so I started talking to Max "what are you going to make sir Max" he seems surprised but with a cute smile, he answered "stew with the fish we caught. miss Kayla, you don't need to call me sir, I'm younger than you. if possible can we speak informally...that's more comfortable." hearing that I clapped my hands in the joy.

max began to cook, I followed his guidance and made a drink that compliments the main dish. by the time we finish cooking sir Yuno and Selena set a camp. A cave made by Selena were four stone beds in all corners of the cave. at the center of the cave, there is a small firebox "wow Sel it's so cool but it an only afternoon so ..." just then sir Yuno cuts me off saying we will be entering the fallen forest, and camping there is like asking for death. we decided that we will leave by dawn. Selena served our meal fish stew "mmm!! smells good and yummy I haven't had this tasty fish stew max" my face itself indicates how yummy the food and seeing my face Max smirks.

sir Yuno finishes his meal within a few minutes, seems to hesitate to ask for seconds but in the end, he went took some more starts to eat. max glances at him then smile "sir Yuno is cute - said max" after our meal, I went to get firewood from the neighboring area and some long leaves. then I spotted a scenery the whole culta secat is visible so beautiful. golden brown wheat plants, tall trees, and a lake which is located in the middle of the culta secat took my breath "wow so beautiful...I miss Will. is he even eating properly..." continued to look at the scenery. after dusk, I went to our camp, sir Yuno came running took the firewoods from my hands.

I had difficulty sleeping since its a new environment but everyone went to bed quite early, around 8, I notice sir Yuno is not inside the cave thus I went in search of him. after walking for a few minutes I saw a person relaxing under a tree seeing the night sky. gently I went there and sat next to him Sir Yuno flinch a bit then those blue eyes stared at me. I took this chance to clear the misunderstanding we have and get along with each other since we all be traveling for while. then, Yuno starts to talk "I was worried that this journey will be tough for you... you seem to be a carefree person which always made me think of protecting you but...for some reason you used to run after seeing me." hearing Yuno talking I realize this person doesn't hate me. he just doesn't know how to show emotion in a face. then I smile at him "sir Yuno I want to be your friend, can I?" hearing that Yuno's face lighten, and nods. then we talked about the old days and went to sleep.
