Discoveries and Resolves

This made the traders and other passers by try to calm whatever animal they had as a means of transportation

But everything turned into chaos when another lightening came followed by thunder and struck a guard immediately burning him to ashes making the already panicked animals and people flew for their lives

The guard who was struck was none other than the one who held Asahel's hand

As for Asahel she just stood and looked at the charcoal part of her hand that was once held by the guard

The guard who was struck did not even have a chance to think before he was quickly sent away to the underworld

and as Asahel looked at the black dust on the floor the wind slowly swept it away

It didn't take long for her to come to her senses and immediately ran back to the exit

The traders and others who witnessed this event were very frightened by what just happened and so they quickly began to seek shelter trying to avoid such accident from falling on them

In fact no one associated Asahel with what just happened to the guard, in their own view the child was extremely lucky since she was the closest to the guard

As the crowd scattered Asahel had already ran out through the exit and still kept running

As for where she was headed to she had no idea but as she looked ahead she saw some traders wagons going in different directions out of the town and so she choose to follow one and quickly ran ahead to meet up with them.

Fairy didn't know what to say, he could feel his master was in a very bad mood and so far he hasn't been of any help so he kept quiet and flew beside her as they headed towards a wagon

Asahel soon caught up to the wagons and tagged along as though nothing happened

As the men and women chatted among themselves they didn't concern themselves with the child who suddenly joined them this was because for them this was nothing new as most times outsiders would journey or joined with them in their movement

And just like that Asahel joined this group and also camped with them when night fell.

But what Asahel didn't know was that these group didn't come out from the merchant town neither were they merchant or traders

This group were called entertainers, they performed and moved from town to town, cities and villages and even small settlements as a form of livelihood

They were in another town not too far away from the merchant town and was passing by for their next destination

They had just performed and stayed three days before heading out almost the same time that the merchants and small traders who did not live in the merchant town was also heading to their various places

Asahel who was in a haste had picked the route these group were in and once she saw a wagon and people ahead she assumed they also just left the merchant town

But even if she knew, she wouldn't have bothered and still followed them anyway,

besides she had her own plans to move in a different direction when she planned to seperate from them later on

********************

Back at the Merchant town the story about a guard struck by lightning soon reached the central city

Many people did not want to believe it but with the recent happenings and the number of people who claimed they saw what happened this time it became too hard to say they were just exaggerating

Kadesh and Joram were no exceptions of people who had also gotten a wind of what happened in fact once they knew the guard who was struck and died instantly turning into ashes they knew it was indeed true and this could only mean the hand work of one person

"ASAHEL"

Joram's system couldn't help but breath a sign of relief. There was no way the two space could stay in one place and that was what his Master didn't know 

Asahel was a danger to his master if she continued to be very close to him

Kadesh really wanted to help Asahel which was why he didn't mention what exactly he wanted once she was found neither did he reveal her gender hoping that once she was back home with them he could try to get closer to her and maybe just maybe they could be a family

Besides his mother loved Asahel alot and so far what she had done were to people who offended her if not, they themselves would also be history

"Sigh..... Asahel I hope you can be strong out there I really wish I could have helped you"

Kadesh knew that it would be almost impossible to find her and with her strange power maybe it was best she stayed were she was

Of course till now he didn't know that these two were the same person but he felt with this power of hers maybe they could be

But Joram knew because his system told him a little about Asahel after this sudden event with the beggar and the Countess 

Even with the warnings from his system he still wanted to help her.

Back at the group Asahel joined, they quickly made a huge camp fire and prepared lots of food for everyone

Asahel who sat a little distance away from them was sort of surprised because of the big and wide camp site these traders occupied but still she kept to herself

The woman in charge of their meals for the night had seen Asahel tagging along, so after serving everyone she took a medium size basket, placed a bowl of soup and some bread wrapped in a neat cloth and also a small pie then she took it towards were Asahel was sitting on a tree branch outside the camp

It didn't take long for her to walk up to Asahel.

"Hello dear....mind if I join you?"

Asahel who had a lot on her mind was immediately drawn back to the woman who spoke,

but before she could speak up the woman dropped the basket and reached out to her and then rubbed her head

"I can tell you've been through alot but as you can see we're all one family and we're more than happy to take you in....just take your time and feel free but first you need your strength so eat up and if you need more come meet me"

After she said those words she smiled and then left

Fairy who had been silent immediately spoke up

"Master I smell something delicious"

Asahel watched the woman leave and met up with others before they all left and didn't bother her again

with that she turned her attention to the basket which was on a branch close to her

Soon she opened it and a sweet aroma filled her nose

She was indeed hungry and so was the creature who flew beside her so they wasted no time and began to eat

once they were done Asahel still stayed on the tree in fact she slept off on the tree as for Fairy he looked at his sleeping master and knew she had been through alot

Without saying anything he quickly went back into the space to check on the book that recorded the history of its masters

Going through the record of its current master he came across a page that he was asked

'how much does he actually remember"

Fairy was taken back because he had even forgotten that question and it hadn't been long since he was asked that

Thinking about it now he subconsciously muttered and talked to himself

"I remember alot of things but I wonder what I don't remember?"

As if on cue the book suddenly light up with a golden colour just like Fairy's eyes and some words magically appeared in gold colour

Fairy was surprised and immediately looked at it to read it only for him to be shocked

As for what he read it was something he didn't think would involve him in anyway and worst of all he almost fainted

On the book the word written were as though they were answering Fairy's question

Fairy didn't think he had such history and a bad one at that and if Asahel hadn't asked then he wouldn't have discovered this

But now thinking about it he didn't know if he should show Asahel or not

'what if she became mad at him and quits the space'

then he would automatically become expired according to what was written and he had no idea what sort of punishment awaits him

he had always wanted to have a chance to go back to were he came from but now seeing this result he was very sure he had enough bad records for a life time punishment

"I have to do something.....I have to elevate my status or else I....I... don't even know what's gonna happen"

Fairy felt a heavy weight on him, though it was written that he has partial amnesia but this was the first time he felt like he really needed to do something without waiting to be told

Asahel who was sleeping on the branch outside didn't know the worries in Fairy's heart, as the little creature came out he looked at his sleeping master and felt the need to improve

"I may want to do this for selfish reasons but.....I really like this new master of my...so for the both of us I'll try my very best and work hard to help us both, I need to focus more and stop falling asleep carelessly....for the sake of my master who is still with me even after what I told her I.....I...need to become reliable for her"

What Fairy didn't know was that as soon as he said those words with so much determination another chapter of the book inside the space flipped open
