Chapter 8 - Ch - 008 - Chase After Jace

We found Aslan

No, just when we entered the black zone, it was him who actually found us on his way back.

To mine surprise, he brought a large group of people with him...

Right now they're setting up a camp outside the cave, like they usually do in the wild

We can't host them like guests

Because I don't have the luxury to do so

Moreover I can't trust outsiders just because they seek refuge, will decide what to do with them after I hear Aslan's oh so called heroic adventure...

Of course here we are sitting in the Torch library, with the librarians team, to record what happened to Aslan.

You can speak now

Yes me lord...

.

When it was me turn to catch the fourth sheep!! Just like usual, ran after the good ones, but suddenly I found me self staring at this grey monkey baby...

I fell in love

Ahem...

I mean we don't see domstic animals around here, so the moment I saw the cute little thing, decided to catch, to take care of it like a cat

Or so was the initial plan at least.

.

I followed the monkey

It shouldn't take long to catch it

That's why I thought, no need to sneak behind and take the monkey by surprise

But it ran, and so I followed

Why did I pass the grey zone?

Simply because me arrogance and ignorance at the same time, already entered the black zone before I know it

Should I go back now?

Not yes nor no

Because the mere thought didn't come to mind at all

I was set on catching me target, running after the little monkey like crazy, I even had to climb trees not thinking of the dangers around me

I even fell many times...

From tree

Broken branchs

Sometimes from rocks

That really hurts a lot, but strangely felt the joy

Like pursuing me happiness

Perhaps the pride that I accepted the challenge, I had to try hard till the very end

Or maybe both...!?

.

The fact that I still have more stamina to go, I didn't look behind, moreover the moment I do so, the little thing would disappear from me sight...

But then! After long time came this question

Where is it running to??

Like how the hell is this newborn monkey is so fast, agile and know the place very well?

Maybe it's a short adult? Midget...!!

What would this mean anyway?

Soon after, I found the answer

I don't think it planned the whole thing, so maybe a couple of minutes before the chase end, it felt something and led me to the huge battlefield

Me jaw loosened that I lost the cute prey

Never mind that

There I saw human army, most of it are mercenaries, I can till by their different customs, armors or teams formations.

.

It's now that me worries begin

Just realized how far I am

Can't give a chase anymore

There's no enough time to get back before down, but then...

Even if I go back now

What had I achieved?

Can't come back home empty handed

At least let's check what's going on, since me already here

Yes, rather than making me lord worry for nothing, let's bring him enough info

So I decided to investegate

At first

I gained nothing looking from distance

To assure me safety of course, I had to look from very far away, but no can do!!

"No pain no gain" I guess!!

Have to shorten the distance

Because all I see are fights, barely

.

Getting closer and closer

Till I unintentionally was drawn to the battle

How? Or when did it start?

When a shiny thing like ball came me way

Rather than just avoiding it, took me axes from me back and slashed the thing, for some reason it didn't hurt me!!!

I mean it actually exploded right infront of me, damaged the place, but not me...

Am not affected despite the explosion

Hahaha

I laughed in excitement

Luckily both axe no.1 and me axe are with me the whole time

So that's how it is?

Asked me self in realization

Let's get to the battlefield and test the theory

The first creature I met ignored me??

Am at the edge of the battlefield, I won't get in the middle suddenly before confirming me doubts, so I decided to attack, with both axes at hands...

.

I have no idea what was that creature

It looks like huge lizard, attacking it's tail will do no good if it's the same as the lizard we know about

Running as fast as possible, lastly jumped and hit the neck

The creature on the size of elephant, so as expected it was shallow, I hit again and again at the same spot to open it's injury, before it pushed me back and ran away!!

Standing up and checking me self

No injuries

This when me self trust and courage started getting to me head, that I tighten me grip looking around for the next prey.

Now that I think of it, all the creatures are of the same kind, almost the same size too, which are called Salamander by the people around here.

Welp!!

Some small fry exist

Somehow similar to salamander, but I can differentiate them even if they're the same size like the magical creature "salamander"

.

Hmmn!?

Something exploded right behind me, yet I felt nothing aside from the loud sound..?

It seem the same like the one magical attack that I repelled earlier with me axes

Looking at the direction whereas the salamander that attacked me seems to be petrified in denial...

Is it preparing for another attack??

The light is coming out of it's mouth! It's white and teal, like that thing Huh? So that explosive light like ball was a magical attack as expected...

Should I confirm me doubts and get it with open arms??

There's no time to think

From that close distance and how fast the light ball, I can't dodge even if I wanted to

The moment it came out of the mouth, the ball of light instantly exploded like before, in the same manner, while am standing firmly, ignoring the loud sound it felt like a tickling breaze...

With this it's confirmed

No more doubts

Nothing to fear

.

Hey where are you going to?

I shout at the creature that am chasing after

Haha, unbelievable, it's running from me

This is more fun than chasing little sheeps or monkeys... Augh!!

I felt this one

It's a random tail that hit me side while running thoughtlessly!!

So I have to be carefull of physical attacks??

Sigh, me idiot

This is the basic of the basics

Such a joy killer!!

Ok, no more chasing

Let's see how can I help these people

...

Why did you stop?? The second part! What's with those people you brought here?? Didn't you say an army!?
