Chapter 18 - Meet Coleo

"By the way can you tell me what things Magna brought me? I mean if you don't mind," Ren said to Flo, the young man felt that the fairy girl in front of him could give an explanation he didn't get from Magna.

"Oh sure, I'll take a look at your basket," Flo said making Ren immediately hand over his luggage to the fairy girl.

The first thing Flo picked up was a glass bottle filled with a reddish-purple liquid which was only a quarter of the bottle left because the bottle was cracked and the liquid kept dripping out, "This is Fons potion, a Nymphodora fairy made potion that has healing properties various types of injuries, even this potion can make a dying person survive even for a short time, for us the Fons potion is a potion that we must always carry with us because we can't predict attacks," Flo explainef at length.

"Oh.. Too bad my Fons potion will run out soon, before I use it," Ren said.

"Don't worry I will give you my Fons potion," Flo said.

"No, you need it too," Ren immediately rejected Flo's offer.

"My lacasa is just around the corner so I don't really need this potion," said Flo as she handed him a bottle of Fons potion.

"Are you sure??" Ren tried to convince once again.

"Yes, take your journey still quite far,"

"Okay, thanks a lot Flo,"

the girl just nodded, this time she started to pick up the second thing is, "Oww!!! I didn't expect Magna to bring this thing to you, I'm sure she is a very good fairy," Ren didn't understand what Flo meant because the thing in Flo's hand was just a bell flower.

"What's the use of the flower anyway?"

"You know this is Mandevilla, a flower that is highly worshiped by monsters of the Apis Cerana and Bombus types, they are very submissive to this flower even in the nymphodora of the mandevilla field guarded by the Apis Cerana colony, but the most abundant in Lavanda is your Bombus monster colony. You can use Mandevilla to protect yourself from the Bombus," Flo's explanation again made Ren frown.

Suddenly a loud buzzing sound filled the air, Ren immeditely raised his head, "Those are the Bombus," Flo said as if she understood that Ren would definitely ask.

Ren dumb foundedly stared at the super large bee hovering above his head with a very deafening hum.

"Didn't they see us??"

"No, because they're hard to duck down so we who are directly below them won't be seen by them, but if they see you from a distance immediately use the mandevilla as an umbrella then they won't attack you, so stay alert if you hear a buzzing sound from here distance or vibration on the ground due to a gigantic jump, immediately take cover and stay away, I'm sure Magna brought you a mandevilla because he was worried," Flo said making Ren remember Magna's unfriendly face.

"Then what's next?" Flo immediately took the next object.

"Of course this is Magna's next concern, Brein and Sanctuary Lake water, you can eat this when you're hungry," Flo explained, who then put back the object he had just taken.

"And lastly I think this is something very important and I can't explain"

Ren looked at Flo seriously, "Important things?" Ren asked curiously.

"This must be for Grant,"

"How did you know? Magna didn't even tell me about this,"

"This thing has been enchanted, and will only be able to be touched by the intended person, look at this," Flo tried to touch the dry leaf roll that looked normal but suddenly moved by itself before Flo could touch it.

"I can't touch it," said Flo again.

Ren was stunned in amazement, after a series of magical things explained by Flo, Ren also began to feel that his destiny in Mirabilis shelves was quite bad.

The nerdy young man found the odd things he always saw in Mirabilis even more interesting than the pile of fantasy novels that could only live in his imagination.

"Okay I think that's enough, I really thank you for all your explanations that will be very useful for me, I think I should continue my journey before it gets dark," Ren said as he prepared and carried back the basket he was carrying, not forgetting to tuck his Fukiya on the rope the basket.

"Be careful, remember my message about Fukiya just use it if you are really desperate, by the way did you bring a lantern? " asked Flo when aren't walking away.

Ren turned to face Flo while shaking his head.

"Then listen to my advice, when you see fireflies flying tonight tell them that you are my friend and you want to meet Coleo, he will help you walk in the dark," added Flo again.

"Coleo??"

"Yes he is my friend, a kind firefly,"

"You mean I have to talk to the fireflies?" Ren asked while frowning.

"Um!! Don't worry he will understand your language," said Flo.

"Okay, thanks for your advice, goodbye Flo,"

"I think I'll see you better," said Flo

"That's okay too," Ren said half shrieking as he started to walk away from Flo.

The young man returned to continue his journey after Gigan's attack became a welcome surprise for him.

"I don't know what else I'll meet, I better stay alert," Ren thought as he continued to walk through the thickets that looked like a jungle to the young man.

His eyes looked to the right and left to determine whether there were still many lavender buds around him or not, the young man did the same thing over and over again and he still kept seeing lots of lavender buds which meant he was still quite far from his destination.

Ren's steps slowed as his legs felt really tired, plus the wind was getting colder and the light was getting dim. He knew that dusk was coming it might be very dangerous if he walked at night, Ren no longer found the huts around him, he decided to rested on one of the overgrown watermelon tree trunks hoping that he would be completely protected from harm under those very wide watermelon leaves.

The young man grabbed a bottle filled with clear water that looked fresh from his basket and took a sip of it and felt an extraordinary fresh sensation on his body, the slightly sweet taste made Ren not feel enough if he had to drink just one gulp, the young man began to take several sips of water until he remembered Magna's words that the water in the bottle must remain when he returned, "Gosh!!! I drank too much," Ren immediately closed the bottle and returned it to his basket, he actually felt hungry but if he eat the Brein brought by Magna then he will need a drink again that is only a quarter of the bottle left. "I'd better hold back my hunger until I see Grant," muttered the young man.

Suddenly the surface of the ground under the watermelon tree trunk which Ren was sitting on moved and suddenly made the young man jump alert, Ren stared intently at his eyes trying to probe through the dim light to find out exactly what was causing the ground to seem to throb.

A split second later a large worm appeared from behind the ground the reptile seemed to move the tip of its head as if sniffing the air, while Ren tried to hold his breath so that its existence was not noticed by the large creature in front of him.

Ren slowly stepped back, away from the big worm he didn't want to take the risk this time, the young man rushed his steps when he was out of the watermelon tree grove even though tiredness was still very much felt in his body but his safety was far more important than just rest.

The further he walked the louder the sound he heard, the sky had turned dark but Ren didn't find silence there, the noise that seemed to come from the nocturnal beasts began to sound, Ren raised his vigilance even more.

'Baaammmm!!!!! ' Ren fell hard because his feet tripped over something, his eyes were really hard to see properly in the dark, because he was curious about what had made him fall,the young man put his hand on the object that still touched his feet, suddenly a vision in his eyes just active, the shadows moved very fast Ren frowned as he tightly squeezed the series of images spinning like a film reel in his head and the young man suddenly let go of his hand as fast as lightning when he realized that the image he realized was the process of the birth of a snake and other object stripping his leg was the tail end of the snake.Ren pulled his body back quickly but unfortunately Ren's fast movement made a sound that disturbed the snake.

'Ssssssshhhhh' the hiss of the snake began to be heard clearly Ren held his breath while looking for the source of the sound because he was sure the snake's head must be quite close to him, too bad Visus Ren couldn't help him see in the dark, sweat soaked his clothes, if the snake found Ren first, that the end of his life, because in such darkness even the greatest Magna's Fukiya would be useless.

'Ssssshhhhhhh' this time the hiss was

accompanied by a stinging smell that felt hot from the front of the young men body, Ren's heart was beating wildly he knew that the reptile had found him first, but Ren didn't want to give up slowly he pulled his Fukiya trembling and began to place Fukiya's base on his lips very carefully, Ren wasn't sure his shot would be right on target because he only knew the snake's head was in front of him right now.

In the midest of the extraordinary tension suddenly a light flashed brightly right between Ren's face and the snake's head that was ready to attack him, not wanting to waste that opportunity Ren quickly blew Fukiya towards the mouth of the snake that was ready to devour him, instantly the snake floundered to give an chance for Ren to run, the horrible reptile seemed to be writhing in pain several times before finally no longer moving, while Ren who kept running only realized that there had been a light following him.

Ren stopped his steps immediately and lifted his head upwards, the young man who was already on high alert really wanted to determine what other creatures were going to attack him this time.

"Who are you?" Ren asked as he narrowed his eyes at the dazzling light.

The flapping of the creature's wings made Ren think that the creature hovering above him was a fairy.

"Flo? Is that you?" Ren asked once again

The winged creature flew low to reveal its form to Ren, "An firefly?" Ren said when the creature's face was clearly visible in front of him.

"Coleo," said the firefly in a strange voice, "
