Aze slashed at the approaching lion, sending it flying into another lion. Using my speed, with just one step, I was in front of Leanille. I untied her .
"We should leave now. Thanks, Aze," Leanille said to Aze, A lion, who kept slashing at any lion that came close to us, sending them flying with his powerful strikes.
Leanille revealed her fire wings, causing the lions to back off. I floated in a cross-legged position using air.
"Let's go, Aze " I said and she nodded and in an instant, he transformed into an eagle.
"Bye-bye, lions," Leanille and I said in unison as we flew away.
"Zhyn! JUST WHO ARE YOU?!" I looked down to see Jay, furrowing his brow. I stopped, still not far away, and smiled at him.
'Princess Sherria Zhyn, Princess of the Air Kingdom... that's my name, and my friends here are the Fire Princess and the Ice Princess,' I told him telepathically. His eyes widened, so I winked at him before flying away.
We were up high.
"Where to now?" Leanille asked.
"I don't know, Aze... do you have any plan or idea?" I asked as he perched on my shoulder.
"Our eyesight is sharp, let's search for some nearby islands," he said.
"I'll do it," I replied. I closed my eyes and opened them. When I did, I could see distant places and spotted an island to the north.
"To the north, I saw an island... shall we go there?"
"Sure, there's one way to find out," Leanille said.
We flew toward it. I touched a cloud up here and was amazed when it followed the movements of my hand. I decided to call it closer to me.
"Whoa! I can control the cloud and even ride it!" I said, sitting on the cloud. Hahahaaa, I'm not falling, it's fun!
"You look so happy," said Leanille.
"Of course, haha," I said as I controlled the clouds, moving them up and down while sitting here.
"Cloud manipulation... that's what it's called. I read about it in a book I got from the Ice Kingdom," Aze said.
"Cool," I replied.
I'm really enjoying this, haha. It's so much fun!
We spent four hours here in the sky because we were having so much fun.
Now we are above the island, looking down at it from above. Aze is flying too... This island is bigger.
"This isn't the Forbidden P! Gosh! Another island again! How many islands are there here?!" Leanille exclaimed.
"Calm down, Leanille... We should check this island if it's safe here. Let's stay for a day or two... we need to rest," Aze suggested.
"Yeah, but wait, what's that coming towards us?" I asked.
From below, I saw something black heading towards us. We waited until...
0______0
AAAAAAAHHH! Bats!!!
"WHY ARE THERE BATS IN THE MORNING?! THEY SHOULD BE ASLEEP!!" I screamed while dodging the bats' attacks.
I was swaying here, and Aze turned into a bat too.
We spent a few minutes fending them off until Leanille and I plunged downwards.
"AAAAHHH! AZE!!" we both screamed.
We were about to hit the ground, but no, Aze quickly flew down and transformed into a net, catching us safely.
Whew! That was close. I can't control the clouds and air because I'm panicking huhuu , still weak!
We got out of the net, and Aze returned to her true form.
"F*ck those bats," Aze said.
"Why did they attack us?" Leanille wondered.
" I don't know , let's walk from here... let's find something to eat too," Aze said.
"Sure... it's 12 AM already," I said. We started walking.
This island isn't like the others; it's clean. The tall trees and lush leaves obscure the view from above. Someone must be living here and cleaning the surroundings; it's really clean.
"Is that a trail or a road?" Leanille asked, pointing.
"Yeah, it's a road... let's follow it. It looks like someone lives here," I said.
"Don't let your guard down... don't trust too easily, or we might get into trouble. We don't know the layout of this island... and also watch your step for traps," Aze warned.
We nodded and started walking down the path.
"What kind of people live here?" Leanille wondered as the three of us walked.
It's really quiet, and very clean... it's like there's a city here, but we didn't see anything from above.
"Hope they're nice and no men," Aze said.
"Haha, yeah, hopefully, it's just chix," I joked.
We kept chatting because the walk was long.
"Didn't it ever cross your mind, Zhyn, who your mom is? Or how she is?" Aze asked, referring to my past life when I was Zera Lordes.
"I think about it sometimes... but when I see Dad working for me, I realize it's okay that it's just the two of us. Besides, I enjoyed my life back then, at least somewhat also as Leanille Mortal enemies," I replied.
"Haha, mortal enemies, but we treat each other like siblings... isn't that amazing?" Leanille said.
"Yeah, even though I never thought I'd be friends with you, haha. By the way, Aze, I think you have a perfect life... famous, complete family, rich, you have it all," I said. I'm not denying it I'm a little bit jealous to her
"Tsk. I wasn't happy with it... yes, I'm rich, yes, I'm beautiful, a so-called perfect ... and yes, I have a complete family but you guys don't know the real story between me and my family," Aze said.
"What do you mean, Aze?" Leanille asked.
We stepped over a rock blocking the path and kept walking.
"Hmmm, let's just say I never felt like I had a family... my mom and dad were always away, always out of town. Even if were together... They treat my cousin like a daughter more than me , It feels like I'm not their real daughter and my brother, he hates me for an unknown reason I always wondered why my brother hated me, but nothing came to mind... he always yelled at me, humiliated me, and treated me like a servant... but still, I love him," Aze said Whew , Long
I felt sorry for Aze...
"In short... no love," I said.
She nodded.
"You had such a not good life..." Leanille said.
"What about you, Leanille?" Aze asked.
"Me? Lonely, I guess... I've been living alone since my adoptive parents died when I was 13 so I lived alone for 9 years...I'm not used to having company at home, I don't have friends to be with, just coworkers , my life was sooooo boring ... Not until I met Zera, haha. My quiet life became noisy," Leanille said.
>_<
"Tsk. I was quiet here, bitchy," I said.
"Haha, K.dot," Leanille replied.
"This path is so long. How far is it?" I asked.
"Shhhhh! Guys, listen... I hear something, I think we're near," Aze said.
We crouched and listened.
0___0
Yeah, there's noise, people talking, arguing, and all sorts of conversations. We carefully followed the noise and left the path. We pushed aside the tall grass and leaves.
0_________0
Shit! Heaven!! Who wouldn't be excited to see topless men? I'm still a girl you know? Don't mention that they're all so pale. Pale from whiteness.
It turns out it's a waterfall, and there are many of them there, bathing in the stream. It looks so nice to bathe... I saw Aze looking like she was hit by heaven and earth.
"Haha, why do you look like that?" I teased.
"Men again, why are there always men?" Aze complained.
"Why are they all handsome? " Leanille said
We were all focused on each other. We looked like we were peeping.
"We look like we're peeping," Aze said.
Haha, I was just thinking that.
We were surprised when a man's face appeared in front of us.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
"F*ck!"
"Women?!! Why are there women here?!!"
"Are they peeping us?!!"
"Who are those people?!!"
"Tss."
Blag!!!
We fell to the ground, and they really saw us. Huhuhu! I'm being crushed by the two.
I hit the ground.
"Aaah! I give up!! I surrender! Get off my back! Ouch! My back!! F*ck! Get off me guys!!" I yelled.
Huhuhu! It hurts! They're heavy. They're crushing me help!
"Hey! Haha, are you okay, Zhyn?!!" Leanille asked, getting off me and sitting down.
"Huhuhu! My hips and back hurt... you're so heavy, you fatties!!" I said.
"Haha, calling us fat, huh... stand up, you're like swimming on land," Aze said.
The two of them helped me up.
Ouch! My hips. I suddenly have a idea
I smirked at my thought.
I went behind the two and jumped on them.
"Hahaha, now your hips and backs will hurt too!!" I said and made myself heavy.
As if! I'm clever.
"Ouch! Zhyn!! Stop it!! You're heavy!! You're really a pig!!" Leanille said.
"Shit! Damn! What the heck! It hurts my back!!" Aze said.
BLLLLAAAGGGG!
We fell again, and I was lying on their backs while they were face down.
I looked up at the sky and saw how beautiful the clouds were.
I stood up... they also stood up, holding their backs, glaring at me. Imade a handsome sign and winked. Their glare became sharper, so I made a peace sign.
"WHO ARE YOU?!!"
I clutched my chest when someone shouted behind Aze and Leanille. The two turned to look.
I stepped aside. The men were standing in the water, topless.
Darn it! Abs!! I have that too hmp
"Hahaha, the two of you are blushing," I teased Aze and Leanille when I saw them blushing.
"Haha, handsome brothers, hide your abs first, someone is blushing------ ouch! Just kidding," I said, getting hit by the two.
They looked away.
I'm used to it... my friends in my past life were always topless, even without abs, hehe.
"Handsome brothers, what kind of island is this? We just came from another island... we might be lost," I said, scratching my head and looking around.
Where are we?
"You don't know what island this is?! You might die here, you know that?!!" the man shouted.
I recognized one of the men.
"Hi, Mr. Bird, don't you remember us? You fell on the Forbidden P island, and we helped you," I said.
He's eyes widened.
"You? How do you know me?!" he exclaimed.
"Hmm, I just felt it, but these two... I don't think they recognize you, where's the other one?" I asked.
He's one of the bird we helped on the Forbidden P island, remember?
"What are you talking about, Zhyn?" Leanille asked.
"He's the birdman we helped on the Forbidden P island... he's actually a human," I explained.
"Why are you here?" Bird Boy asked.
The others were just looking around silently while I was walking around the stream.
It's beautiful here.
Wow!!!
I stepped into the water and slowly went deeper until it reached my knees.
"Whoa! It's cold!"
I saw the men, waist-deep in water, stepping back.
"Hey Zhyn! Let's go! Let's find another island!" said Aze.
"Huh? You said we would stay here for now... I want to swim in this cold water; it seems relaxing," I said and splashed water on them.
"Whoa! It is cold... don't splash water on me, Zhyn!" said Leanille.
"We're not safe here,there are always men around... let's go! I don't like it here, we don't know them," Aze said, transforming into an eagle and preparing to fly away.
But I strengthened the wind, making her stop.
"Aze, we'll leave soon... let's bathe first," I said.
I felt really sticky.
We've been changing clothes, but we haven't bathed. I miss the water.
"Come on, Aze, let us swim... you don't have to be afraid of them... I feel really sticky," said Leanille, stepping into the water but running away immediately.
"Waahh! The water is so cold!" Leanille.
I quietly walked over and pulled Leanille in.
"Wahh! No, Zhyn! It's cold!!" Leanille.
Spplllaaasshh!
"Hahahaa! Is it still cold? Hey, Aze! Come on!" I said.
She sighed, flew over to the rock, and sat down.
"Fine, I agree... if they leave," Aze said, pointing at the boys.
"Wait! We were here first!"
"Go find your own spot!"
There were about eight of them.
"Why should we leave? You're just peeping."
"You're the ones who should leave."
"Hahahaa! Peeping? Fool! We have no interest in your bodies!!" said Leanille, splashing water at them.
They seemed to get irritated.
"Come on, Aze! Just leave them alone!" I said.
"Tsk. Later, it's still cold," said Aze.
"Hey!! Do you think I'm not cold? That crazy nerd pulled me in!! But honestly, the water here is relaxing! I'll stay here," said Leanille, jumping into the water.
SPLAASH!
I got completely wet, and Aze stood up on the rock.
"Damn! I said later!" Aze.
"Tsk. So picky."
"It's just water."
I heard the boys muttering.
"What now?! I'm getting impatient, Aze! Come on!"
"You don't need to wait for me... I can handle myself! Move!" she said, stepping off the rock and pushing me.
I submerged in the water. I dived and came up againzpushed my hair away from my face.
"Hey you!! Just ignore us!" Leanille.
"Hahahaa Hey, itchy bitchy Leanille!!! Catch me!" I said.
"Screw you! Why should I catch you?!!" Leanille.
"Why?!! Because you can't really catch me... why is the bitchy so slow?!! So weak!" I teased.
I swam away.
Hahahaaa We were playing chase.
Aze was in the deep part, feeling the water.
Ouch! I held my forehead after bumping into someone. I was standing in a spot only up to my neck.
When I looked up, it was one of the boys.
"You're in the way," I said, rubbing my forehead.
"Hahahaa What?? Does it hurt, crazy nerdy?? Hahaa Poor thing, bleh!" Leanille.
I give her a dirty finger, f*ck off
Hahahaa! She got mad immediately.
"Damn you, Zhyn!! Don't show me that dirty finger!! I'll cut it off!!" she said, coming over.
I went behind the boy I bumped into.
"Bleh! Innocent bitchy... come to mama hahaaa!" I said.
"Screw you!! My mom's not as ugly as you!" she said.
We circled around the boy I bumped into.
"Hey! With my beauty... you're making it ugly!! Just remove your eyes!" I said.
"Both of you! You're disturbing them..." Aze shouted.
She was floating in the water.
She was amazing, just staying steady there as if lying on the ground, hands behind her head, legs crossed.
"Wow! You're not sinking hahahaa Nice, Aze!" I said.
"Tss.. get out of there," Aze said with her eyes closed.
"Hahahaaa Yes ma'am," Leanille.
"Bitchy bitchy!"
Leanille gave me a dirty look.
I swam away.
I dived underwater. Wow! It's beautiful down here...
I can hold my breath for a whole day in the water.
It's deep... I saw one of the boys sitting in the deep part,
I swam over, now behind him.
I looked at what he was holding... just a fish tangled in leaves. He freed it, and the fish swam away.
I almost laughed when he turned around and widened his eyes upon seeing me.
'Did I scare you?'
I said in his mind.
'Tsk. What are you doing down here?'
He swam past me.
'Hmm nothing... You?'
I asked, swimming to a rock beside him. On top of it, I saw various shaped stones. They were beautiful.
'You like rocks?'
The boy was beside me.
'Kind of,' I answered as he handed me a rock. I just looked at it when he took my hand and placed the rock there.
Wow! A star-shaped rock.
'Wow! This is beautiful... Thanks,' I said.
We were talking in our minds. I put the rock in my pocket and saw a baby turtle trapped under a rock.
'Oh no! Are you okay, baby turtle?'
I lifted the rock, and the baby turtle swam away. just ignored it and turned away. I started collecting unique stones again.
'Zaculose.'
I looked at the boy.
'Huh?'
What's zaculose (zakulos)?
'Tsk... my name is Zaculose.'
So grumpy!
'Hahaa Sorry, my name is Sherria Zhyn Aerazer... Zhyn for short,' I said, extending my hand.
Right? Talking underwater. Hahaaa, how unique
Only with Zhyn's strong powers, hahahaa.
He took my hand and let go.
'Who are those two?'
'My friends, the girl with red hair is Leanille Falthea... just Leanille. The other one is Aze, Azemia Xemisha, Azemia.'
