"Now I'm calm... phew, I'm coming back... Father, mother, Julia and Daryun Uncle... I'm returning to RHONE soon...."
Rex immediately left on a journey to Rhone.
He was quite far away and it would take around 1-2 months for him to reach Rhone while traveling in a proper route.
But he remembered that he had promised his father to join magic academy soon and during age of 16 so he had to rush himself.
Due to this thought he wanted to take a shorter route to Rhone since that would save a lot of time for him.
However the plan backfired. He could have never imagined that it would take much more time if he were to take the shortcut.
"Phew, it's better to go through the forest since that's the shortes route for now."
Rex thought for sometime and immediately entered a forest that would end at the forest of Rhone kingdom.
He kept on walking the entire day.
He obeserved various beasts and birds. The sounds of chirping and the fluttering sound of flowers made his heart stable.
He enjoyed his journey during the entire day and kept moving forward.
Soon it was night time. It wasn't necessary for him to worry since the moonlight was more than enough for him to see around.
*yawns*
"It was quite an amazing day wasn't it Zor?"
Zor immediately came out of the storage space and nodded his head. But Zor was tired due to the continuous usage of mana during previous night hence Rex allowed him to rest for some more time.
"It's pretty chilly tonight.", Rex turned his gazes towards his left and right and as he was about to renter the sleeping state of mind he heard some noise.
'Zddhh Zddhh'
The sound was coming from the bushes that were just 10 metres ahead.
"This is weird... I can sense an immense amount of mana coming from there... but why does the life force seem to be less?"
Rex immediately ran towards the bushes while keeping his guard high.
Then he paused and started to take each and every step slowly. He extended his hands and touched the bush while slowly moving it.
He asked, "Is... Is someone there?"
And as soon as he said that an arrow was immediately sent flying towards him.
Rex dodged it splendidly thanks to his instincts and training.
"Wow! What was that!? Why did you suddenly shoot?"
From the bushes an elf suddenly appeared. It was a female elf with heavy wounds. Even though she was completely wounded with deep scars, she had a burning spirit in her eyes. It was as if she seemed revenge or help.
"Are you alright?", is what Rex said as he extended his hand but as soon as he did another arrow was shot towards him. However this time he caught the arrow in between his index and middle fingers.
He immediately said, "Wait! I am not your foe!"
The female elf seemed to be understanding what he was trying to say but was hesitating to believe him.
Rex started to walk slowly towards her in order to make her understand that he wasn't her foe at all.
