Traveling Together
*Axel's POV*
"Pfft, Hahahaha. Why would you not think we know of reincarnators? Most aren't really subtle you know. Always trying to say how they are the best and all that nonsense. There have been only a few truly strong reincarnators in the past and luckily they all were pretty good people." With a burst of laughter the beauty before me explained a couple of the questions that had been on my mind.
Thinking for a moment I put a smile on my face as I pulled some of the cooked meat off and set it on a plate. Handing the plate to her I said," Well miss Silvara do you want to travel with me to your city or will you go with just your wolves? I will be happy for the company. Not that I mind spending all my time with Lozen, but you can probably tell me more about the world I find myself in."
She took the plate and bit into a piece of meat chewing it while holding her hand in front of her mouth. She swallowed the piece of meat and looked at me wide eyed. "If you can cook like this I am definitely traveling with you!"
After saying her peace she started devouring her breakfast. Watching her eat made me hungry as well so I grabbed some more of the meat and started munching as well.
While eating I kept catching Silvara glancing at me from time to time. She seemed to be deep in thought about something. I just brushed it off thinking she would say something if it was important. So instead of breaking the comfortable silence I called my stats up to think about what I needed to work on next.

Little did I know that while I was deep in thought someone was staring intently at the side of my face.

*Silvara POV*
When I woke in the morning surrounded by my wolves I was warmed by the sight and feeling. I knew I had fallen asleep in his arms last night. To think he would be such a gentleman and not try anything on me. Though Greta did say that she watched as he kissed my forehead goodnight.
How embarrassing, I can feel my cheeks heating up now thinking about it. I take another bite of the meat he gave me and marveled once again at how good it taste. Looking over at him I notice something. My blessing Appraisal activated on its own at some point in time.
I could see his stats. What I saw actually scared me quite a bit. I couldn't read what his blessings were, or anything other than his cultivation and numerical value of his stats looking like this.

For his cultivation level he was monstrously strong. He is guaranteed to be the strongest at our level by leaps and bounds. I am a little surprised to see that his blessings are not visible to me considering I have always been about to see them for everyone else.
Looking back at his face I noticed once again how handsome he was. There was also the look in his eyes, like he was holding back great animalistic urges. He seemed to be able to control himself but just barely. I saw all of his different emotions in his eyes.
I saw the concern he actually had for me. I saw the lust flash through his eyes before always turning respectful as he abstained from looking at my body at most times. I could also see his worry when he asked me if I would travel with him. I mean of course I would.
The thing is though, I like his gazes on me for some reason. All of them including his lust. I just don't know if the man will make a move on me. He seems to have high values and doesn't seem like someone who has abandoned his morals like most have in our society.
"Axel, I think we should probably get going soon right?" My words pulled him out of his head and he turned to me with a small smile on his face that made my heart flutter for some reason.
"Sure, lets get going." He surprised me when he waved his hand and the entire fire pit disappeared into nothingness. he then stood and tore down two walls making it easy to walk through the shelter. He must of seen the confusion on my face because he chuckled and explained it to me.
"See if I were to leave this here in its whole hut form there is no telling how long it would continue to stand. Where as I can leave it like this and make it a temporary shelter for the smaller critters around or even some of the bigger ones. And as for the fire pit I have and inventory skill."
I was amazed that he would do something like that for the critters and beast with the remains of his hut but I never thought he would drop a bomb like this. An inventory skill! It seems extremely overpowered after he explained the properties he has found out about it.
Shortly after we began walking down the riverside toward Ruinton.

*Leah POV*
Without knowing it another 2 weeks have past and we have officially became apart of the guild ran by Tiana Tempest one of the Tempest families young ladies. I haven't had the luxury of seeing her sister who is supposed to be apart of the guild too. I heard that she had gone out with her party almost 2 months ago and still hasn't returned.
Her name is Silvara Tempest and she is the named heir of her family. While her sister my guild master was named as the successor of the family's guild as to not have any internal conflict. I heard the guild master talking to someone yesterday telling them that if Silvara was not found or returned soon she would be taking the entire guild to search for them.
I didn't understand why she was so worried until one of the senior members told me that a young master of the Talon family was also missing. That in itself wouldn't be a major issue, but with his obsession for Silvara, everyone including his family were worried that he had done something to Silvara and her friends out in the Great Forest of Ruin.
Apparently he had been pining after her for years but with his hedonistic and sadistic reputation she has always stayed far away from him. Tiana had even threatened to have him hung if he proceeded to pester her twin.
I was startled from my training when I heard a voice come into the training hall.
"I want everybody to prepare now! We are going to go find Silvara. I am done waiting while that pissant is trying to do perverted thing to her!" The guild masters voice was full of fury and urgency. Everyone in the guild moved at a brisk pace to make sure they had everything before assembling outside.
As I waited with the others outside for them to finish getting ready Mia came up to my side.
"So we get to finally see her huh? The princess of the Tempest family. They say she and her twin our guild master don't look anything alike. They also say she had over 200 suitors vying for her hand in marriage. They say she has refused all of them without a second thought. What do you think? Do you think that noble guy is playing with her like a toy or is she safe?"
Her rapid fire and insensitive questions generally weren't minded by myself or the other guildmates because she was just bubbly and didn't really have a filter and way too much energy... Always.
{Sorry for the shorter chapter today. I have got work early today and don't have much time to type out much more.}
