Reunion

Medieval-style castles came into view as I stepped out of the carriage. The place looked just as it was before. It still reminded me of Fairy Realm.

"RAEL!!!!"

I was soon broken out of my stupor and caught in a bear hug. Huge hands with bone-crushing strength pulled me in a bind.

"Connor, dear you are hurting him."

He is not, my body is very strong but I won't lie, I do feel grossed out.

"Oh yes, sorry. I hope you are not hurt anywhere." Connor said while checking my body for any injuries.

I pushed him away and dusted my clothes while speaking with the best fake smile I could muster.

"I am not hurt anywhere. Thanks for the 'warm' greeting."

Connor chuckled and laughed boisterously while shaking his hands to deny as if had been bootlicking him.

"No worries! No worries! Next time I will give you an even warmer greeting!!"

A shudder went across my spine.

No. There won't be a next time. I will either kill you or never come back here again.
