Chapter 30 - Who are you?

"I said, there must be a great deep chasm yonder. In the bottom of which are the flames of a boiling volcano. Whoever falls into it will perish without turning into a skeleton. His bones will not be fixed. It is a very terrible and cruel place.  And you will not even realize that there is a trap of inevitable death for you."

Xenia's whole body shuddered.  Dragia moved closer in fear. She gasped for breath.  Otherwise she would have died today.

"Wow, you seem to know a lot about this forest. Is your home in this forest? Well Ryan, where do you live? Who is in your family?"

Ryan began to hesitate.

"I live far away from here in a small hut at the foot of a white mountain. I have no one. I live alone. When I am in a bad mood, I go out for a walk. I was doing the same today. But I went to save you when I saw you in captivity. And where I wandered, no matter where we go, we don't come back without a good look around. There are many beautiful sights in the kingdom from which we fled. I saw all of them except one. It was a more mysterious and exciting place. I loved going there. But  Not anymore. Can't even go there anymore. They're still looking for us."

So he was disappointed.  Both his body posture and appearance changed.  Her beautiful white face turned black. As a result, he does not look good.  Ryan went and sat on a tree trunk. Xenia also went and sat next to him. Then comforted him by putting her hand on him.  Because she knows how much it hurts when someone's hopes are not fulfilled. No one knows that pain better than him. She had to go through this trouble for a long time.

Ryan crouches down with a stick in hand, drawing casually and featurelessly and aimlessly on the ground.  He seems a little depressed.

"What happened, why are you upset? Ohhh, sorry, please forgive me. Your hopes in saving me were left unfulfilled."

Ryan looked up at Xenia.

"No, why are you apologizing?"

Xenia said nothing more.

In fact, Xenia never sat with any boy.  She didn't spend her time sitting next to any boy like this.  Strange as it may seem, she feels quite well. Ryan is a very good boy.  Beautiful and smart as well as very clever. Again he is simple. Xenia likes him.

For a while there was silence.  There are no words. There is no animal noise around.  Everyone left them alone in this forest. They have been entrusted with the responsibility of this terrible and mysterious forest.

Xenia's eyes began to close.

After a while Ryan's hand fell on her body.  Xenia jumped up in shock.

"What happened? Why did you tap me?"

"We have to get back from here before night falls. The forest becomes more violent at night. So we can't spend much time here. Let's go back."

Xenia, however, looked good here.  But even if she likes it, there is no use.  There are endless dangers here. Those dangers don't seem to matter to him if they do any harm to Dragia.  So she has to leave the illusion of this forest and go back. Xenia beckoned to Dragia and Dragia sat up. Then first Xenia and then Rian climbed onto Dragia's back.  On its back, Dragia spread its huge wings and began to fly. After some distance Ryan asked Dragia to go downstairs. The Dragia flapped its massive wings and landed downwards.  She descended from the sky through the thin and white clouds of the sky. Finally she came down to the ground with them. Dragia placed her feet gently on the ground.

"Get down, I'll get down."

Ryan came down.  Xenia also went down.

"What happened, why did you get off? And won't you move forward?"

Ryan looked at Dragia.

"No, I can't go with you anymore. I have to go back. Look carefully at the beautiful scenery of our world. Remember one word before you go. Be very careful when you go to any exciting place. Because there are many dangers in those places."

With that he turned back and started walking towards Xenia.

Xenia's beautiful face changed colour and looked ugly.  I don't know for some reason her mind wanted to say you don't go.  But could not say. She watched in surprise as Ryan left. Her eyes were not blinking.  When Ryan disappeared out of his sight she looked at Dragia and sat on her back sullenly.

"Go."

Dragia was surprised.  She had never seen Xenia look like that.  Xenia looks completely different. Dragia started flying without saying anything.  Once again in the void, through the white clouds, Dragia began to fly with her wings.  For a long time she flew. From top to bottom, all scenes appear black and dim. The position of nothing is well understood.  But Xenia's mouth didn't say a word.

"Wait."

Dragia was immediately stunned when she heard the words from Xenia's mouth.  She could not understand or see anything.

"Get down. We're going somewhere now."

Dragia began to descend, as was her nature.  In a few moments she landed in one place. The place is high above the ground.  It seems to be floating above zero. There were a places like trees and mountains.  The upper part of which is empty. With great curiosity, they approached the towering mountain.  Xenia's eyes became abnormal as she approached and took a closer look. There are two huge eyes on the mountain.  The two eyes that glow with fire. There is even a huge mouth-like crater.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"
