"I apologize, but what would posses you to fight a stranger." Mexi ask Lily in a worried tone.
"I-I don't know. I have this feeling that I forgot what I wanted to do in the enchanted forest before coming to the outside world." Lily reply full of energy.
"May I know what you mean?"
Lily looks at Mexi sighing before explaining everything about the enchanted forest, the meeting with the connet bear and about Alice teaching her magic. Excluding the part about the GOL, Sam and Victoria being assassin's.
"Wha-whats wrong old men?" Lily notice the expression of disbelief on Mexi.
"When you...say enchanted forest do-do you mean?" Stuttering and punting heavily at the same time.
"Old men do-do you know something about my village?" Mexi come to his senses after hearing Lily and coughs slightly to add...
"Okay. Then let's sit down first." Mexi takes off his coat placing it on the ground so him and Lily do not have to sit on top of the grass.
"Lily keep this in mind. The outside world consist of 5 continents."
"Old men wha-what do you know about my village?"
"I will get to that part, however you should know this places." His smile so bright it gives of the feeling of trust emitting from him. He continues to say…
"To the east is the Amren continent which we are currently living in. To the west is the Jin continent that is ruled by a emperor. To the South West and East is the Furan and the Aze continent." Lily questions Mexi about the 5 continent, but Mexi shrug his shoulder.
"Lily would inform me about how your village was created inside the enchanted forest."
Lily trys to remember how Aunty Futa explained the story to her. Even though some parts are blurry she tell Mexi about the slave and how he helped the ancestors of the village.
A flicker of realization spark in Mexi's eyes. He brows furrowing in concentration as if piercing together a puzzle.
"Thank you for sharing that story with me, but from now on promise me you shall not tell anyone aside from and this Alice girl about the enchanted forest. Also do not say you were raised there." Grateful smile.
"Then wha-what do you want me to say I come from?"
"Mhm, how about you say your Lily born and raised in the Mercian Kingdom. Now let me tell what history knows about your village."
Lily cross her legs excited to know more about her birth place.
"The story began a millennium age when the emperor of Jin wanted to conquer the world. The other continents fought back of course,thou they did not stand a chance against his strongest knight named Vincent. The reason was Vincent wielded elemental abilities that no humen could have at the time. Due to him the Jin emperor's power against the world expanded by 90%. None the less it all came crushing down on one sudden when Vincent destroyed and burned down everything the Jin emperor accomplished. Thanks to that peace was restored among the continents and he disappeared after that. During the rebuilding of the Amren continent they found a forest that could give us the same powers as him, but we could only posses one element from him. They named this forest the Enchanted Forest and him the Founder of Magic."
"Hell yeah! This Vin-Vincent guy was mos strong… I wish to-to meet him." With a joyful expression.
"Well good luck with that." Mexi mummers to himself while nodding to what Lily said.
"Old man…". Mexi interrupt Lily feeling that Lily is raise his age. He tell Lily to call him "Mexi from now on not old man" thou Lily laughs it of seeing Mexi's reddish cheeks.
She calms down and ask what that golden light around him was trying to change the topic. Mexi inform him it was his Aura. Which is something that shows the amount of magic a person posse's.
"That would me-mean your strong right!" Lily question Mexi.
"Yea. You told me that you wanted to fight strong people to remember something you forgot, however, do you fight with magic?" Curious to know if she has a quantity of magic because she comes from the enchanted forest as the rumors suggest about people who come from the enchanted forest.
"No, I think I can only sense it around me." Mexi rub his chin with a thought in mind.
"How about I teach you your magic." Lily glare at Mexi and with no second thought she agrees to it.
Lily and Mexi stand up with Mexi advice Lily to move 10 meters away from him. He dust off his coat and wears it.
"If you can sense the magic around you, then that means you know how to release it outwardly." Just before he can continue Lily voice out even though she can sense magic she can not sense his.
Mexi affirm her that all she has to do is to continue to meditate and one day she will be able to sense his aura.
"For now you need to learn how to absorb that that energy you released. To do that just meditate while standing inhaling deeply and exhale slowly. The second step would be to transport the particles from the air to your core… Then proceed to transport the energy from your core to your first."
While Mexi is telling her the steps she close her eyes and does everything Mexi say.
"Mexi I-I can feel so much power on my fist!" Her body shaking with excitement.
"Lily transport the energy from the hand you use the most. From the on punch the ground with full force."
Lily nods -
Raise her fist-
*Boom*
TBC.
