Chapter 3 - Beautiful Ball of Light

"What's that? Could it just be the wind?" He's a little doubtful.

Virgo started guessing in fear, the air in the forest grew heavier, he found it hard to breathe, coupled with a chill that cut into his bones, making him shiver.

Now that he had entered the forest more than a hundred meters, strange sounds were repeatedly heard nearby, as if a figure was following him.

"Susst... Susst."

"Heard again" Virgo started to shudder, he was sure it wasn't just the sound of the wind, "Who's there?" Virgo shouted, turning in all directions for clues.

"Sec... Seek."

After the question was finished, the sound of rustling leaves could be heard clearly by him, then, a few green and yellow leaves suddenly fell, floating lightly in the air right in front of him, Virgo swallowed his saliva.

"This… It has the same aura as that bastard Monster." Virgo felt an icy killing aura, though no stronger than the jug monster that preyed on its parents.

But his sick condition and being alone in the dark and quiet forest made him even more desperate and wanted to run, but unfortunately, his body could only freeze, and his breathing became irregularly heavy.

"Am I going to die here? In the hands of monsters?" Inwardly, however, now he could feel a threat being right behind him, he closed his eyes, resigned to his fate.

"Father, mother... I will catch up with you soon." Virgo smiled bitterly while shedding tears, actually he wanted to turn around and see the figure that made her so scared, but the aura of killing monsters was too strong, and Virgo had to give up his intention.

Virgo can only close their eyes and surrender...

"Dburghn"

The roar of thunder that exploded could be heard from a distance.

"Whoosh... Sreekt."

Shortly after the sound of the thunderclap, suddenly there was a sound of lightning splitting the wind very quickly, the flash was bluish gold around it, but of course, Virgo didn't see it, because at that time he still closed his eyes.

And miraculously the Aura killing the creature disappeared instantly, Virgo who still closed his eyes felt very relieved, he had thought of being the creature's dinner.

He opened his eyes slowly, then faintly saw a light right in front of him, it was a firefly slightly larger than a ping pong ball with gold and blue colors circling it.

The light was so bright and looked very beautiful, he was immediately fascinated by the fireflies, it was the first time Virgo saw fireflies that were so beautiful and big.

A moment later Virgo started to wake up and started to look around, "Could there be a storm in the middle of the island, and the sound near me just now came from there?". Virgo was very curious about what was going on, then wandered around.

"Nothing strange, what happened". For a moment Virgo smelled the smell of burning, "Did the lightning strike here, then the creature immediately ran away?". Thinking that made him even more curious, he decided to examine it even more thoroughly.

"There is no fire or smoke, how can something burn". After searching for a while Virgo didn't find any clues, he finally gave up and returned to the firefly he saw earlier.

Virgo didn't realize that the creature that wanted to prey on him was a bat-shaped beast with a wingspan of up to 5 meters, which had now turned to ashes because it was hit by the bluish-gold flash.

Virgo quickly looked back at the firefly he saw earlier, he was very surprised when he saw a ball of light that was slightly bigger than a ping-pong ball.

"Where did the fireflies go?" Virgo scratched his head in confusion, he approached the light in front of him.

"What's that? Wasn't that just a firefly, could it have changed? ". Though Virgo tried to guess in the end, he didn't find the answer.

At the same time, suddenly the unexpected happened.

"Wuuust".

In an instant, the ball of light penetrated Virgo's chest as fast as lightning, Virgo's vision suddenly turned dark, and he felt an excruciating pain in his chest.

Slowly the pain spread throughout his body as if he was being slashed and burned, the aura of lightning that sliced ​​every cell and fire that boiled the blood, in a moment he immediately collapsed and fainted his body unable to withstand the pain.

Virgo slowly opened his eyes, found herself in such a dark place, and in front of him only saw a ball of bluish-gold light.

"This place?" Virgo approached the ball of light curiously.

Rumbling sounds of thunder started to be heard, and flashes of lightning kept appearing around the ball of light, Virgo gulped in horror.

"Ha ha ha".

The sound of laughter greeted with thunder boomed suddenly appeared, "Who's there?" Virgo turned his head in surprise in all directions, but couldn't see anything, the laughter continued.

"You cowardly little boy, pretending to be strong in front of me." Voices echoed from all directions, "Who is there?". Asked Virgo again spontaneously.

"You lucky boy, I will wait for you in the middle of the island, if you can get there I will choose you and give you the next gift". The sound was very clear but there was no one in sight except for a bluish-gold ball.

Virgo immediately woke up with a start, he opened his eyes and found himself lying in the forest, he also thought it was just a dream, and finally tried to get up.

Now he sat watching the sunlight penetrate between the trees, he felt a little cold, and looked up at the tree, "If only I could be up there, maybe my body will feel a little warmer, Huuu".

Virgo sighed because he knew it was impossible, but on the one hand, he hadn't realized at all about the change in himself, if he had known maybe his eyes would have immediately dropped from his face in shock.
