Take note: I don't own the characters and the title. It was originally made by the android game called "Epic Conquest".
It was raining in the night. One person was running in the forest, stepping the mud and splashes around him. He was wearing a dark robe.
He was in a rush and he panted like his breathe was exhausting. He couldn't keep running forever. He wanted to take a break, but his life was in danger.
It made him clear that no one was following him, but he made sure that he needs to move far away as possible. And then, he saw a town that is covered with brick walls.
He remembered that place. He used to stalk someone and form a contract with, but he failed. He clicked his lips in irritate as he doesn't want to remember of his memories.
He doesn't mind of going there or not. He just wanted to escape and run away. When the lightning strikes in the tree, he keeps running in the middle of the rain. He doesn't mind of getting killed in the storm or lightning anyways.
"This is ridiculous" he said as he run in the field
On the next day, the storm was out, and the sun was setting. It appears that the sky is lovely as blue. The town is back to work.
There were people going in and out of the town. Some of them holds a carriage to trade goods in another town. Few people only take a stroll outside to find herbs. There are two people who went to get herbs outside. One of them carries a basket and one of them is a young lass who carries the map.
"Uumm.. you don't need to come with me, I can handle this myself" Edna said, feeling a bit embarrassed to have someone accompany with her
"Don't be embarrassed, Edna. I have a lot of free time. I can go with you at any time." A blue haired woman said, smiling at her in which Edna accepts it and nod.
"You know, I never thought that herbs can be found so easy in town"
"Well, the kind king gave us a permission to take herbs whatever we want as long as it's not poisonous"
"Wow, I wish he could treat me as a human…"
"Now now, as long you're here, you can live as humans like us"
As the two ladies went to the plateau, they find some herbs that have different colours. Edna took three green herbs and she placed them in the basket. She followed the list that Alaster's mother guide her.
After picking all the required herbs, Edna closed the basket and carried it. She broke a sweat and never thought that picking herbs is very difficult for her.
"I got everything." Edna said
"I guess it's time for us to go home then" Alaster's mother smiled and Edna nodded cheerfully.
Before they head back to the town, Edna stopped as she checked up the green field again and thought of looking at the remaining herbs again. However, behind the herbs, she looked at the forest carefully and saw something fishy.
"What's wrong Edna?"
"I think there's someone over there… and it's very familiar" Edna placed the basket down as she runs towards the forest. She can feel that presence clear as if she knows that person.
Edna finds a man covering in a dark robe and was laying down. Edna looks up to his face and she was surprised as her eyes widened and her mouth opens. "Ze... Zerav?!"
The man was a soul collector that Edna signed a contract with and now, he's unconscious in the forest. Edna doesn't know what happened to him as she tried to help him.
