Chapter 4 - Difference

Rei was startled, he stumbled and fell backward. The golden-eyed girl who appeared suddenly glared and watched Rei closely.

"If I'm a ghost, what are you?" she is upset.

"I am a human!" replied Rei innocently.

"You're human? Don't joke, where are humans in this forest!" she said aloud.

"But I'm human, I'm lost, do you know how to get back to a human place?" Rei asked looking serious.

"What?" the pointy-eared girl approached. She circled Rei while sniffing the sweaty boy. "Do all humans smell like this?"

"Hey, you're being rude! I'm sweaty, but at least I showered this morning!" Rei couldn't believe his body smelled.

"So you're human? Then how did you get in here?" without answering Rei's question, the blue-haired girl asked back.

"There's a little hole the size of a pea that pulled me here!" Rei said to the girl. "Then what are you? Do you have a name?" asked Rei suddenly.

The girl squinted, looking beautiful despite her annoying face, and without answering she flew away. Seeing his interlocutor leave, Rei immediately ran after her.

"Hey, I'm not done asking, can you help me? I beg you!" Rei asked as he continued to run.

"I don't want anything to do with humans, you unbelievable creatures!" said the girl flying with her transparent wings.

"Come on, at least tell me, where is this? Is there anything I can do to get home?" Rei said pitifully.

The girl flew and sat on a very tall branch of a yellow flower tree.

"Huh! You annoying ghost!" Rei said quietly.

"I told you I'm not a ghost!" said the girl standing right in front of him.

Rei is still surprised by his sudden appearance, the positive thing is that now he knows a powerful way to get the creature to appear closer, and that is by calling her a ghost.

"Okay, then who should I call you?" asked Rei.

"You're from the human race right, you can call me Anastasia!" she said.

"What, Anastasia? Is your name Anastasia?" Rei asked surprised because the girl called a name similar to his mother's name.

"Don't humans like to use names like that?" she said.

"It's the same as my mother's name," explained Rei.

"Your mother? Are you Anastasia's son?" The yellow-skinned beautiful girl immediately approached, sniffed once more, and looked at Rei from a very close distance.

"Hey, why do you like sniffing?" Rei asked uncomfortably.

"No wonder it smells the same!" muttered the girl quietly.

"Same with who?" Rei asked curiously.

"How is Anastasia doing now?" asked the girl suddenly.

"My mother died two months ago in an accident!" Rei replied sadly.

"Anastasia died? An accident? Impossible! Her sixth sense is so strong, how could someone who could read bad luck just die!" said the girl who seemed to know his mother.

"But that's the truth, mom and dad died at the same time," Rei explained again.

"Father? What is your father's name?" she asked again.

"William, my father's name is William," Rei answered without knowing the reason for the question.

"So Anastasia married William! Who? William!" The creature flew straight into the sky, appearing to emit a great amount of energy and emitting light as blue as the color of his hair.

Rei was confused he didn't understand what the girl was doing, suddenly appeared many glowing balls that he had seen before, after observing it turned out to be a rotating light from the body of a tiny creature that flies very fast.

"Is that a fairy!" Rei muttered to himself.

The little fairies seemed to be talking and giving information to the girl, a serious look on her face. The girl got down without further ado she grabbed Rei and immediately took him flying.

"Hey, at least explain what happened!" Rei shouted while holding the yellow-skinned girl's hand tightly.

"Later! Hold on tight, you don't want to die silly, do you!" she said.

The girl carrying Rei flew very high, about 50 to 60 meters from the ground. Rei could see a stretch of reddish-brown soil and various kinds of unfamiliar plants. No less strangely, he was holding a girl with yellow skin, turquoise hair, and a strange salmon-colored dress with transparent wings.

"Where are we going?" Rei asked his strange new friend.

"Mount Carmella is where the great majesty Calestyn resides, I have something to confirm about your coming here!" she explained.

"Okay, but should I still call you a ghost?" asked Rei.

"My name is Ewa Lani, and now you are in Arasely, this place is called Arasely!" obviously the girl was fast.

"Okay!" replied Rei who was still holding on tightly.

Rei saw that strange animals were flying, some were big and some were small. Ewa Lani swooped down quickly and stopped suddenly because a flock of strange, big-eyed birds was passing at the same time.

"Why do these Lirecks have to fly now!" protested Ewa Lani who seemed to have difficulty flying because of the flock of birds that turned out to be called Lireck.

After the birds passed, they flew again, this time Rei saw a silvery river similar to mercury on the manual thermometer. Rei wondered if he could drink the strange river water, because apart from being hungry, Rei was also very thirsty.

Finally, they arrived at Mount Carmella, Rei saw a magnificent palace with strange unique architecture. The dominant color is white with a greenish roof tip because it is surrounded by vines and colorful flowers. It's fitting to say it's a fairy house. Ewa Lani descended on her front yard, talking to a guard who was three times the height of a normal human. The shape of his face was strange, with long bones, with glowing white eyes.

Rei was a little hesitant to enter, he didn't know if Ewa Lani could be trusted. Ewa Lani took Rei in, this time the 13-year-old boy had no choice.

"You have to be brave Rei, just like your name Reinhard (brave boy), come on don't be afraid!" Rei thought with slightly trembling legs.

The door of the castle was opened and there was a woman as beautiful as a shining angel, her hair was black and very long, sitting cross-legged floating in a greenish-white dress whose cloth dangled and floated.

"Your Excellency Calestyn! I am Ewa Lani come to see!" she said respectfully.

The woman's eyes opened, and she looked at Ewa Lani as well as Rei.

"What's wrong Ewa Lani? Are you bringing your future husband with you?" asked Calestyn with a smile.

"Come on Mom! I'm not kidding!" the girl protested at the woman who turned out to be her mother.

"He is human, Anastasia and William's son, on Earth Anastasia, was reported to have died with William in an accident, don't you realize that it's very strange!" said Ewa Lani.

Hearing the news Calestyn got up, approached Rei, and looked at her at close range.

"Ewa Lani he is Dionne!" said Calestyn looking at Ewa Lani.

"My name is Reinhard madam, maybe you have the wrong person!" said Rei who looked confused.

"Dionne is a mixed-blood creature Rei, you are not a human but Dionne, a mixed-blood child between humans and elf!" said Ewa Lani which suddenly made Rei very surprised.
