Red Forest

It feels magical!

That's how they feel right now. It only took less than 3 seconds, when they opened their eyes, they had already moved places. No energy was wasted, they came to the gate of the daycare.

Not wanting to drag on with all the shock and wonder, they decided to pick up Lucky and Lucy. They had to reach Airy village and give news of someone who was planning to destroy the tower. A little late, maybe human life will end.

After picking up the children, they began to step back. The next destination is, the dwarf forest. The forest is famous for plants dominated by mushroom plants and medicines. Inhabited by dwarves who live in groups and farm.

"Let's go in, after passing through this forest, we can arrive at the nearest village!" asked Arthur cheerfully. They smiled, and followed where Arthur stepped.Passing through small rivers and hills that were not too high, they finally came to the gate of the dwarf forest.

"Why stop?" asked Juliet. In front of her, Arthur was silent. It was like he just realized something. And feel something is not right in this area.

"Since when is this forest red?" he whispered. Inviting attention from William, he sniffed the air. Smelling the slightly polluted smell of nature. If this forest is indeed inhabited by a dwarf nation, why smell the smell of a very strong demon?

"It seems that the original inhabitants of this forest are gone. Is there no other way to pass?" asked William who was still focused on his smell. Ele looked at Arthur from behind, and saw the man shake his head.

"This is the only way. If you want to rotate it could be, it's just that, it might take 3 times longer. Not only that, around here can only pass through ravines and lakes, " explained Arthur. He had passed through the surrounding area with his father when they were still together.

The four adults looked at each other. In unison shook their head desperately. It is impossible for them to pass another path, it will not be rushed. They may make the wrong decision eventually.

"If that's the case, let's just go through here. Maybe later we can negotiate with them," William said. They finally nodded, agreeing to pass through the area that looked cold and dangerous.

Stepping together, each leg is heavy. Just entering the gate, a chill slipped into the breathlessness. Scared the children, and decided to hide in a sling. Close their eyes and hold the body tightly.

Slowly but surely, they began to enter the forest area. The red trees filled the vision. Mushrooms and even river streams also do not differ in color. Like magic, all green colors have disappeared.

William glanced repeatedly at the hidden parts. The feeling of being stalked and watched gnawed at him blatantly. He turned to Eleanor, the only one who had the most sensitive taste buds among the others. Yes, even though it is still underneath.

"Will, I want to pee!" whined Lucy suddenly. Attracting the attention of others, they finally stopped. Hearing the words of the little guy who rarely spoke, they immediately gave attention.

"Let me deliver, I heard the sound of water nearby!" asked Juliet. Lucy nodded, and went downstairs to take the witch's hand. They eventually left the location.

It didn't take long to solve it, when the two of them came back, Will was also solving his natural problems on the other hand. Lucy sat by Arthur, slightly clinging to her dashing legs.

"Eleanor, Arthur, come here!" the sudden sound of William's shouting shocked everyone. Without thinking they ran over, approaching in the direction where William exclaimed. They didn't even pay attention to the back anymore, panicking mastered.

When it was almost to where Will shouted, they were again shocked by the appearance of the man from behind the tree. Seen justifying the position of the cloth around his waist, Will turned his head to find his friends following him frantically.

They blinked at each other, confused and didn't understand what was happening.

"What are you guys doing here?" asked William. Feeling inexhaustible with their strange actions.

"You, are you good? We heard you shouting just now!" Arthur was shock, even pointing at William's face impolitely. It resulted in a lack of understanding from William.

"Wait, where are Juliet and the children?" Eleanor realized it for the first time. She turned around and found no three people anywhere. So did William and Arthur. They began to search for the whereabouts of the three swiftly.

"July! Lucy! Lucky!" they shouted. Each other is separate, not in one close line. Each of them began to worry about what might happen to all of them.

"July, oh! Juliet!" Arthur shouted, finding Juliet's body drooping weakly behind a tree. Part of his feet were submerged in water, and the rest concerned on the ground that was still wet.

Hearing Arthur's screams, in droves they ran to catch up. A sense of panic peaked, finding his mate lying unconscious. Soon Will grabbed his wizard, patted her on the cheek and checked the pulse of her life.

"Juliet? Get up, what's going on?" William's panicked face was very real. But not there, Arthur and Eleanor also found next to the footwear that Lucy used to wear.

"Will?" called Eleanor. Her face was paler than usual, a look of horror was painted in his eyes. Hearing the call, William looked up. Found dirty footwear that should belong to Lucy.

William grabbed it, looking at him in disbelief. He himself bought this base some time before. But now, the owner disappeared, without a trace.

They were silent, unable to do anything. In fact, they have also realized one thing. The one from the beginning they entered the forest, that is, the loss of their natural strength.

William can no longer smell the fragrance from a long distance, no longer able to see the look sharply. Not much different from Eleanor. The beautiful elf couldn't even change the shape of his weapon. Only a small dagger he had in his pocket.

And certainly, the reason why Juliet could lie silently like this, was because she lost her strength.

***

It took a night to resuscitate Juliet. The plant venom lodged in his body is quite difficult to remove. Fortunately, they managed to meet some dwarves who happened to be willing to help. Otherwise, it is possible that they will not see Juliet again in the future.

"How do you feel?" the question was the first Juliet heard as she opened her eyes. William in front of him clasped his hand, kissing his knuckle affectionately. Anyone would be envious to see the affection between them.

"I lost Lucy, what should I do?" murmured Juliet. A speck of tears descended on her pretty cheeks. Clasped back William's hand tremblingly.

"Don't think about it first, you have to recover first," William still kissed Juliet's hand. Dispelled the distress and restlessness that perched in his heart.

"But, those long-legged demons kidnapped my children!"
