Chapter 9

I continued walking until I was only a few meters away from them.
"I'm sorry ma'am! I didn't stop him--"
"Aahhhh !!!" I just felt like I was floating in the air and some sharp claws of a big bird took me and flew away from them!
"Aaaahh! Ama !!!!!!!!"
"Zafiraaa !!!" Father shouted that there was nothing to do but just watch me as this giant bird flew away. I almost shivered because I looked down and we were too high! This bird is holding me only on the shoulder! What if he suddenly drops me!
I even saw Akiro disappear from Father's staff, and ran into someone who was also wearing a shiny dress. And I think it was his father, the king of Nemestia, quite far away from the people fighting and just watching, serious -faced. Now it looks up to me with a blank face as Akiro begs his father to make a way to help me. He is the one who has the power here. And it is forbidden for those who have been blessed to use power because they have a more severe punishment in return. But what is the power of the prince? Why are there only other simple citizens? I have never seen Akiro use his power.
I saw that the prince was almost out of conversation with his father so he grabbed the arrow of the soldier next to his father and pointed it at me, no! us this bird!
I swallowed deeply for fear that I might be hit. My memory came back so I suddenly had a phobia of arrows.
We are far away and I'm not sure if his arrow will reach us or who will hit.
I couldn't help but cry. It was the first time my memory came back and my father and I met like this! I hope all my memories come back from the beginning! For somehow I knew where I was going and came home when I had no knowledge of this world! How many times have I almost perished and died because of that stupidity !!
I wanted to run away but I was also afraid that this bird would let me go. Where will this take me !?
"Uwaaakk!" Loud bird chirping.
I could no longer see father and the others below because we were too high and we had also reached the cloud. Thank goodness and in the second life given to me there is no fear of height.
I felt like we were going downhill. I looked down and knew we were going down to the forest I see now.
"Don't be afraid dear princess"
Shit! My fear only increased when I heard someone speak.
"W-who are you !? Who spoke !!?" A woman's voice. Because of my fear I started screaming.
We landed exactly on the ground in the middle of the forest, because of the excessive thickness of the leaves, the number of trees was quite dark here.
"Hmm"
"Who's there !?" Just us and this big bird here in the middle of the forest.
This bird hasn't hurt me yet so I lost my fear of him and turned to the voice that had been giving me creeps before.
"It's me, dear princess. Don't be afraid because I have nothing bad to do with you."
I hugged myself and swallowed deeply because that voice was coming from the bird next to me.
Fortunately, I kept myself from fainting because when that happened I would be left stunned.
"No. I was just imagining that. W-I didn't hear anything. Yes no one spoke before" I convinced myself because I was about to go crazy here.
The giant bird walked over and came in front of me. That's why I backed away in shock.
He knelt down so I could match him because he was so big.
"There's something you need to know, dear princess. And you're not imagining it all"
"Aaahhhh !!!!!!!" I screamed because I realized that this bird was really talking!
"Calm down dear princess"
"Aaaaaahhhhh!"
"Dear princess! Don't make any noise here in the forest if you still love your life"
"Aaahhhmmpp!" I did not listen to what this bird was saying but suddenly something covered my mouth.
I struggled because I felt more scared.
Who is behind me !? Who covered my mouth !?
"Let him go Satiro"
When this creature released me I immediately walked away and faced him.
But I have yet to convince myself that there is a talking bird and now it is!
Is a person half tenderness!
I was stunned and my knees weakened so I fell to the ground.
Chapter 10
Zafira's Pov
I was dizzy because I felt like I was floating. It's not! The pain in my back!
I opened my eyes wide and the first thing I saw were the clouds. I'm not a fool to think I'm in heaven, because there's a cloud? Eh I feel like I'm moving, I'm lying on a --? Wait!?
"Aahh!" I cried because when I suddenly got up I almost fell on my bed, behind this big bird. Fortunately, he spread his wide wings so I didn't fall over.
He laid me on the ground and made me look around. We are no longer in the place we were before where I fainted. Is that true? The goat man?
"She's just there dear princess, following and watching us because she knows if she shows up you won't be able to do it again." Word of the bird.
"By the way, I'm Anka (Angka) dear princess, so it won't be hard for you to call me a big bird." He added.
I nodded and spoke.
"Anka, where are we going and why did you take me?"
He continued to step on his two big feet so I followed too. I felt better about him so I lost my fear. But I don't think I'm the only one who doesn't like the goat man.
"You're back, dear princess."
Huh? Yes I know.
"But on your return you will not be able to stop the war that is going on and will happen in the future." He added to what he said.
"What do you mean?"
"Since you disappeared, dear princess. That is why there was a war. People were still happy and did not know of such wars but because of so much mourning and resentment your father broke out of war. And at that time the Deeyos who keep the order and tranquility of this place suddenly disappeared like bubbles. So nothing could stop your father from his decisions. "
We continued walking and I did not say a word because I was still waiting for the continuation of what he would say.
"Many say that when the new one is born again you might also stop the year war going on in this area. But no. Because they were wrong in their assumption. Because your return will only deliver a hot collision between the two kingdoms. who both don't want to lose. "
I waited a few minutes for him to play something else but the surroundings became quiet and all I could hear were the chirping of cricket.
"Why did Deeyos revive me and even more so he used his strength just for my future life, if that's all that will happen? Why didn't they just let my soul stay in my slumber.?"
He remained silent and I no longer planned to wait for his answer. Because I knew he didn't want to answer that question anymore.
We continued to walk quietly but I could hear something around the rustling of leaves, fortunately and Anka told me it was just Satiro, the human goat.
I was still wondering if I would enter the cave in front of us.
