CHAPTER NINE: "The Fairies of the Evil Forest"

When Marcus returned, Karin and Rico were awake. Their strengths can be seen to return. Then Haj came carrying fruits.

The sun will change again and the burning sun will barely rise. The ice is also slowly melting. The flowers, on the other hand, begin to bloom and the breeze blows and it is no longer so cold. That is a scene in Encantria every time the freezing and blazing sun changes.

A few hours later, they walked again and continued their journey to the west.

As they walked, Soleman closed Marcus.

"Hey! Little musician.?" Soleman calls.

"What's that TP boy. ??"

"If I were you, I would first focus on how I can defeat the king of the south."

"What do you want to say.?" Marcus asked again.

"You know kid, I went through that too so you can't deny your admiration for the dear princess. I can see how you stare at her. "

" What's wrong there, she's a young princess and I'm a young man.?" Marcus replied with a fool.

Soleman stopped walking and because of that Marcus stopped as well.

"The dear princess, the confessor of our town, the successor to the dear king who is now bedridden because of a curse. The dear princess is the only heir. That is why I will not allow the dear princess to lose from us and I will not allow her attention to be diverted to others and the dream of freedom of her people to disappear. And you in turn Prince of the east, we needed your help to recover our town from the war. You are our only hope, so you can't have a weakness like you feel for princess Elion. Love is what will bring you to defeat. "

Marcus just stared as Soleman spoke and when it ended immediately he turned around and said, "You are mistaken .... First of all, you will not lose your dear princess, because I will not let that happen. Second, love will never be my weakness, but it will give me strength until the end. Remember this, I and this guitar will take back your town and end your war. " Marcus grabbed his guitar behind him and turned to Soleman, " Because that's my destiny. "

Soleman was amazed at what Marcus said which gave him especially hope ..

"In that case, I'll look forward to that." Then Soleman followed Marcus on foot.

While traces on Lepriconn's face a dark yesterday in his life. Because he also once fell in love, had a family, a child, and a wife but unfortunately it was taken away from him by the Dark Fortress who then his races lived in the north. Since the last Encantria war, everything he had was gone. He considered Love a weakness because it was also what caused him to be imprisoned in the horrible yesterday. He blames himself for falling in love so that he was hurt too much by losing them. Until he landed in the west and became a soldier of it who gave him a second life.

------------------

Suddenly, Alice who was currently in front of them stopped because she had already seen something.

"Wait! Is that ... ???" Alice just exclaimed when she saw what was in front of her.

A giant tree that seemed to stretch its branches as if it had just come from a long sleep. When the blazing sun hits its leaves, it looks like shining gold. The body, on the other hand, seems to be dancing with the wind.

"Yes .. that's the tree of Encantria." Karin replied and stopped like the others.

"That's right there are four trees like that all over Encantria. And one can be found in the lower part of Albatronn." Elion said.

"It's just a sign that we're in the middle of this forest." Haj reminded his companions.

"IN THE MIDDLE. ?? Do you mean we still have a long way to go out of here. ??!" And Rico didn't seem to like what he heard.

"That's it."

"You know if you're tired and you're moaning, just go home." Karin replied to Rico sarcastically.

"What. ?? I didn't moan! I'm just tired. Why don't you just teleport me to the west, TP boy ??" At the same time, Rico addressed Soleman and here he turned his awkwardness. He squeezed Soleman's cheek again and again.

"Can you stop what you're doing !! Do you want me to die so I can just teleport you all to that far away place. ??!" Soleman shouted because he was annoyed already with Rico.

But they all stopped when all of a sudden Marcus heard a song, from somewhere. A melody from the cold voices of the women who seemed to just rise from the rest.

"Wait, what's that ??" Marcus asked.

"There are people singing ...." And Alir also heard what the prince heard when he also noticed what was around. "The mantras around are weird. It looks like someone is controling it."

"Ha.? What are you saying.? I don't hear anything." Karin disagreed.

"Then the Mantras, I think Alir they just come from the Encantria tree." Alice also noticed the strange mantras around but she also couldn't hear the song.

"I also hear some women singing." Rico agreed with Marcus.

Later, Soleman and Haj also heard about it.

"I can hear that too ...."

"Me too."

It seems like music enters their minds that they can't help but listen to it.

"Wait .... I think there's something wrong with this." Suddenly something entered the Princess's mind,

"Marcus !! Rico !! Haj !! Soleman !! Alir !! DON'T LISTEN TO THE SONG. !!!" Elion shouted as she remembered a book she had read about the Red Fairies.

"You're a late young lady."

A voice they suddenly heard in the air seemed to be a creature out of which. A woman's voice followed by the laughter of the other women with it.

"Wait ?? Who are you !!" Karin asked who was behind the voices she had already heard.

"I think they're scattered all over the tree. I've noticed the strange movement of the mantras." Alice said as she noticed the visible mantras on the giant tree.

Out of nowhere, the creatures gradually appeared in the tree. Three women with long ears, black round eyes, red long hair, and all red dresses.

"That's right I have in my mind .... the Red Fairies." Elion exclaimed to see what was in front of them. "I read something in the book about them, and then ..." the princess stopped speaking and worried turned to the men, "Marcus !!"

"Then you already know young lady that whoever hears our song will be ours." Said a woman accompanied by a delirious smile.

Karin and Alice also turned to Marcus who were all stunned. It seems that there are no more souls and no more trance.

"What does he mean ??" Alice asked confused by what was happening.

"In that case, you are the reason for the disappearance of some men in the town of Sega who are stranded in this jungle ...." Karin remembered the previous case she handled. "You're using Encantation magic to hypnotized them."

"You're right armored young lady." Another fairy answered.

"What do you plan to do to them ??" Alice asked again.

"Hey ... You're a young lady, you're very inquisitive. After we use them against you, they will be our food on this day when we wake up again." The third red fairy answered with a squinting look.

And later on, a quick knife suddenly flew towards the fairies to the surprise of everyone. But the fairies quickly built a barrier.

"Ha.?! WHAT ???"

"Where did that come from? !!"

"That's quite it. Alas." Alir said that he had just been listening to the conversation.

"Ha.? That boy ... How could our magic not touch him. ???! I'm sure he also heard us sing before ..." The fairies were very surprised when they saw Alir in his sanity.
