Meanwhile, somewhere far and dark, with only a little light shining.
—
It's dark. My eyes are wide open, but I can't see anything except darkness. Only the light of the stars and moon can support my eyesight.
"O-ouch." I stood up even though my arms and legs are feeling numb. I don't know how many hours have passed. Did they left me in the hill? I found my phone, it has no signal but I can still open the flashlight.
There's nothing here except thick trees. "This is not the place where I lost consciousness." I whispered to myself. It looks like I'm in a heart of a forest. I'm glad I read the survival manual that Yui gave me before. I don't know what I am doing here, the last time I remembered I was with Vaness, Yui, Friela, and Canum. Now, I don't even know where they are or where I am but I do feel like I was about to float. If my body doesn't feel any pain right now, I can easily jump and dodge. I walked a few meters to check if there's a way out. Luckily, there is none. Yes, I am so lucky. Always. My tummy rumbled, "I am hungry. Is it already that late? How lucky, Lucy." I whispered. I looked for edible fruits and ate some. I haven't even finished eating when I heard footsteps coming in my direction. I hurriedly climbed on a tree and hide.
"Praunemtio vie num quie siens?"
"Numieu, sini nie."
What the hell are they talking about? I didn't understand a single word. "It's impossible for me to be on another country." I thought to myself. I went down and picked up a sharp stone and follow them. I would be needing it just in case they found out that I was lurking around them. One of them lit a torch, is it just me or he created a fire out of his hands?! Maybe it's just too dark that's why I didn't see a lighter or a match.
They're men, but one of them had a weird attire. Is it an armor? Are they an army of some sort? Is there even a country who's still let their soldiers wear full armor? I thought they need the camouflage color type of uniform for perfect hiding?
I scouted them carefully, trying my best not to step on any branch to avoid making unnecessary noises. I realized they were looting for some logs and branches when I saw the other army holding a lot of woods.
"Nue sinia teui hiusta soae intua."
"Gerintia."
My head aches, I wish I could understand what they're talking about. After few minutes of walking, one of them suddenly stopped. Crap, did he just found out that I'm stalking them? I quickly but silently climbed on a tree.
"Anil astre iquev raia fere nevre, aster Ellilea da sinestia!" one of the man shouted.
What did he say? I can see the other man's face, is there a problem? Are they in some kind of trouble? Both of them nodded and they ran quickly through the woods. Since they had a torch with them, I could easily track them down. I jumped on each tree's branches to follow them while holding one of my arm.
'I feel so light here.' I thought to myself.
"Oh no, he suddenly threw the torch. This is bad." I whispered. I went down and tried my best to ran to the direction they head on. As I went forward, I saw a lot of bright lights in the near area. "Crap!" I murmured and hid. There're so many people with full armor! I climbed again on a tree, above the eye level of people is always a perfect place to hide. The place have enough light, so I peeked and saw a beautiful place. It looks like a palace.
"Wait, is there even a palace in our country?! I'm pretty sure we do not have a king and queen, because we are a republican country. Why is there a palace here?" I whispered to myself.
I roamed my eyes around the place, a palace in the middle of a forest? Is this some kind of a joke? I was preoccupied on looking around the place, too preoccupied that I didn't notice something poked my arm.
"Ya ho." There's a sudden voice whispered on my left ear.
"Aah!" I shouted and lost my balance. I think they heard the loud sound of bang because I fell from the tree. 'Crap!' I whispered before I lost my consciousness. I could hear footsteps, and then I drift into nothingness.

"Prues es ali?" I heard someone talking, but I can't understand. Did I lost my consciousness again? Why do I always have to lose my consciousness?
"Tie. Siana sini ase, ali seurge yei nioux."
My head aches even more with their language that I can't understand. Can't they just translate it to something that I can understand?!
I tried to open my eyes and I succeeded. The pain was gone the moment I opened my eyes.
"Ellilea! Prues es sini?" A man who looked like a soldier talked to me. I didn't even know what he's saying. I stared at him, he do looked like a soldier but he got a baby face. He's like two or three years younger than me.
"Ellilea?" Now, someone who looked like a maid asked me.
"Ellilea? Is that a name?" I asked them. But as soon as I uttered my words, they became silent.
Of course, the language barrier is too strong. I can't understand them, and they can't understand me. We're on the same boat, but on the other hand we're on a different boat. It's too hard to explain. They called me Ellilea twice so that must be a name.
"Ase vie gerrinte sini?" the man talked to me again. It looks like he's asking me because of his rising tone.
"Can you please stop talking? We both don't understand each other anyways." I went back to bed and lie in there. The bed is so fluffy and comfortable. I'm tired even know I lost consciousness twice today.
"Tue nevrea meira duier." The man talked again, and a maid bowed and get out of the room. I stared at the soldier man. He's hot, it's just that I don't understand him.
After few minutes, the maid came back. She was with a beautiful girl with a beautiful dress. I was mesmerized with her face. She's so beautiful, indeed.
"Estu vie chessiue lia ealsid?" the man asked the girl, and the girl nodded. Sooner or later I will have my nose bleeding, and I will be bathing with my own blood.
The girl suddenly went on a pose and drew something in the air. She's beautiful, but why is she doing that? She looked like crazy.
I was shocked when a light appeared on her finger.
"Hey! What the hell is that?!" I shouted.
"Nevrea, nevrea
Vie vrea merola mati e
itia omi sevia itum
tue sinia audia mudumeam
sini nue circo
riani turnesim serume
chessiue lia ealsid!" The girl shouted, then I heard a loud sound. It's a— I can't explain! It's like a sound of a speaker when I accidentally put my microphone on it.
"Ah! W-what was that?! It hurts, stop it! Stop it!" I shouted. My eardrum feels like breaking.
I rolled in the bed trying my best to cover my ears, but the sound feels like it's coming from beneath the ground, the earth, the air, it attacks my brain and my ears. All I feel is pain right now.
"Stop it please, please. It hurts!" I said while I cried in pain.
"Turnesim suvir!" I heard the girl shouted. The loud sound disappeared, "I think it's alright now." she added.
I can feel my ears literally bleeding because of what she did. Someone suddenly went beside me and hold both of my ears. I didn't hear what she said, but the pain suddenly went away and the bleeding stopped.
"What the hell is that?! Are you trying to kill me?!" I shouted.
"I'm so sorry. I have to do it for you to understand us." The beautiful girl said.
"Oh, yes. I-I can understand you? How?" I asked.
"By disturbing the sound frequency and giving you the information of our language." the man explained.
I don't understand anything that they said. Disturbing the what? Giving me what? Is it why it sounds like a screaming woman but with the highest pitch that you'll ever heard out of your entire life?
"Is she really the princess?" the girl suddenly asked.
"She looked like her, but I doubt." the soldier answered, "I can't sense any magic within her. She's not an agmenagia." he added.
"Magic? What magic? What is agmenagia?" I asked.
The soldier looked at the girl with confusion.
"I'm so sorry. I guess her body can't take all of our language information. She might not understand deeper terms and enchantments." she explained. The soldier sighed, and I on the other hand, is totally confused.
"Hearing that you do not know agmenagia makes me really doubt that you're the princess. We are called agmenagia. The main living being in Orbisomn." the soldier explained.
"O-Orbisomn?!" I shouted. We're just talking about this a while ago. This is the place where Illia came from, right? Why and what the hell am I doing here?!
