"Xenia, what are you doing? Hurry up. We don't have time. They could be here at any moment."
Ryan started to walk impatiently.
Without saying a word Xenia closed her eyes and used magic to bring Dragia back to her former state. Raised him.
Ryan took a step back in surprise.
Xenia went and sat on Dragia's back. She gestured for Ryan to sit up. But Dragia's back rests far above the ground. He tried to rise but could not. Xenia then magically lifted Ryan up and sat behind her.
"Dragia, you keep flying."
Dragia started flying. The first time Ryan was about to fall on an incline in flight, he grabbed Xenia.
The three of them started flying.
Suddenly, the people there, including the king, saw the strange scene from below. They tried to block a lot. But they couldn't. So the king asked his soldiers to go after them on horseback. On receiving the king's command, the soldiers took their horses and ran after them.
Suddenly looking down, Xenia was frightened by the unexpected sight. She asked Ryan to watch the scene. He also looked down and was surprised.
"Then they're coming to get us. Xenia tells your friend to go harder."
Xenia tells Dragia to go hard, as Ryan says.
In the blink of an eye, the Dragia flew away with them.
"And the soldiers can't be seen. Then they won't be able to find us anymore. Right Ryan?"
He said nothing. Looking ahead in surprise. Xenia also looked ahead. She could see nothing.
Suddenly darkness fell around. The white clouds in the sky changed their colour to black. In the meantime, a line of light is visible for some time. Again after a while it is getting mixed behind the clouds. Not only that light, but sometimes there is a loud noise. The sound is terrible. The chest trembled when she heard it.
"Why is this happening? Didn't the king do some magic to catch us?"
"No, this is not the work of the king below. We must go down quickly without thinking about it. Otherwise, there will be danger."
As Xenia ordered Dragia to follow Ryan's words, she began to plummet downwards. They started to pretend.
No one could see where Dragia was taking them because of the darkness around them.
They reached down.
It's darker here than it is in the sky. It seems like the darkness of the night surrounds. But it is impossible for the night to come so soon.
For a while they rested on Dragia.
After a while some scenes around started to be observed. Although the surroundings looked dim, it was well understood that it was a forest. But there was no idea about what kind of forest it was.
They had to wait there for full light.
After some time light appeared around. The sun shines through the trees. In that light, nothing was noticed except the big trees around. The sky which was covered with black clouds a moment ago has now adorned itself in white.
"We landed in the forest again? Forests are everywhere we go. It would be great if we could land somewhere beautiful and beautiful."
"Why are you upset? This is the safest place where we are. The king or the king's army cannot come here. There are dangers around this forest. And inside the forest there are many kinds of dangers. There are death traps everywhere. There are fierce animals in this forest. In this forest there is a maze. Once one falls into that maze, he can never get out."
Xenia dismounted from Dragia's back. Ryan also got down with him. And Dragia ran a little farther. She got busy and started eating the leaves of the tree.
"How do you know so much about this forest? Have you ever been to this forest before?"
Ryan pressed his tongue gently with both of his teeth. It seemed like he had made a huge mistake. His complexion faded from normal. He fell into an unusual disability. He thought to himself that he should not have said that. What will he say to Xenia now? His head started to hurt. He thought silently.
"What the hell, have you ever been here before?"
This time he fell into a big danger. He didn't know what to say.
"No. I only guessed. Usually there are many dangers in places like this, fierce creatures. Even in these dense and dark hollow forests there are monster trees."
Xenia did not understand anything. She had never heard of the demonic tree before. The words rang in her ears like a dull flute. Which makes no sense.
"What are monster trees again? Do they have big bellies and teeth like monsters? Do they catch and eat animals?"
Hahaha.
Ryan laughed out loud, unable to contain his laughter.
Xenia looked surprised. She still didn't understand the reason for her smile.
"What's the matter, why are you smiling like that?"
"Monstrous trees don't mean they have teeth like demons. These trees kill people or animals. Even they... Dragia, don't go there. There's a huge chasm ahead. If you fall into it, you won't survive."
Xenia was even more surprised to hear him. She looked at Ryan instead of looking at Dragia. Ryan didn't notice.
The more Xenia sees Ryan, the more surprised she is. Various questions in her mind. The answer to which she does not know or no one has said. Aro's level of suspicion on Ryan increased but she remained silent without saying anything more to her.
Dragia approached them.
" What happened? Why do you tell me to come back here? I enjoyed eating these green leaves."
