The forest is gently awakened as the first rays of dawn penetrate the dense canopy of towering trees.
The scent of earth and blooming wildflowers wafts through the ruined mansion. Moisture and the smell of rainfall from the air dropped water along the hole of the palace, and a pool of water was gathered.
It's obvious to see it rained last night.
The water drops down to Saze's forehead and slides off his head, at the same time he woke up. He slowly opens his eyes and rubs lightly with his hand, his two black eyes gleaming with clear light.
"Ahh~" Saze rose and yawned.
His two arms rise and make fists then start stretching his spine, twisting his waist left and right, listening to the crackling sound of his spine. This feeling is very comfortable for him, but it makes him want to do more. Now he wants to rotate his spine three hundred sixty degrees.
"That might be comfortable..." Saze said in mind as a joke.
After all, Saze doesn't want to be a disabled person yet. If he can only sit in the wheelchair forever then he really doesn't have any idea of how to live happily.
"Oh yeah, what year is this world in...? I should ask Finty later..." Saze looks up at that huge hole of the ruined palace and whispers.
"1887." A cold voice sounded behind Saze.
As Saze returns his head, a blue and black gradient hair with a dark blue dress woman sits gracefully before Saze. Finty's face shows a faint smile to Saze. Her smile has the charm of a mature woman, her lips open and repeat again.
"This year is 1887." Finty repeated.
Saze takes a hard gulp and suppresses the impulse in his heart. At this age, he has also entered puberty. In these four years, Finty teases him sometimes; however, it's not too frequently.
Saze quickly calms down his mind and responds to Finty.
"1887? So it's 19th century right now..." Saze contemplates.
"So you've been here for four years now, what other memory on the earth you have come back?" Finty ask.
"Oh, I've got my memories at thirteen years old back, so now I'm thirteen years old." Saze said softly.
As time goes by, Saze's memories will come back. Every day he passes, his memory of a day on earth will come back.
Although the void has reversed his time to a few years ago, these have affected his body and even his mind. Turn his body into a child and make his mind immature. However, it will all come back eventually.
"Well then, you will have a long vacation soon." Finty said to Saze while poking the small spider that crawl to her thigh.
"Eh, why?" Saze said in surprise.
"I'm going outside of the forest to the human world, their country. I'm going to prepare your ID card for you then you can live in there with your kind."
"Are you excited now? You can go out of the forest and step into the world of humans." Finty smiling.
Saze has stayed in this forest for four years and after hearing that he can go to the human world he is definitely happy and excited. In these four years, he doesn't even see the shadow of human, aside from Finty and Moty, they were human form but they still are aberrant.
"R-Re-Really?!! Hooray!!" Saze stammers and shouts excitedly.
"Hehe... However, you still need to wait for a month." Finty seeing him so happy, she couldn't help but want to extinguish his happiness.
"It's okay, I have waited for four years already! It's just only one month!" Saze makes fists with both hands with no sign of any happiness being extinguished at all.
The eyes of the black-haired boy were filled with the light of yearning for freedom, which made Finty stunned for a moment inadvertently and smile in next second.
"Well, keeping to be optimistic is not a bad thing at all, just don't get too over with it." Finty said.
"Alright, what are we going to do today?" Saze asked about the schedule for today.
"Nothing, you can just do your business and I'm going to prepare my things and go out." Finty rose and walked away.
"Then let me help you." Saze follows up.
This act made Finty glance at him. She didn't expect Saze will do this. To be honest, it was quite heartwarming. Sometimes the unintentional kindness of others will be remembered in people's hearts.
This was the first time in four years that Saze offered to help. Of course, this was because he couldn't help before. After all, he couldn't lift huge ruined blocks or hunt. But Finty didn't say anything and just gestured to tell him to follow up.
After leaving the hall, they passed through many small areas and then saw an old wooden door in an inconspicuous corner. Finty stepped into the room as she slowly opened the old wooden door and the creaking sounded.
What comes into view is a huge red carpet covering the floor of the exhibition hall and a large white bed with tables and chairs next to it. There are also many decorations in this room, such as a world map hanging on the wall and books piled on the floor. There are shoe cabinets and many luminous stones to illuminate the room.
When Saze stepped into the room, a scent of fragrance hit his nostrils. At this time, he looked at the bookshelf on the side and found that there were many flowers and plants in a row, and the fragrance came from them.
"I actually have prepared many things already, I'm just going to get my extra shoes and dress." Finty opens her wardrobe.
The wardrobe has many dresses, shirts, and underwear as well as the shoes that are at the bottom. As Finty starts to grab those things, she also tells Saze to get a flower.
"Hey, Saze get the dark blue flower on the bookshelf." Finty said lightly.
"Alright... let me see... ugh..." Saze's eyes glanced at the row of bookshelf that had flowers.
"Aha! This one!" Saze found it, and took it carefully.
This dark blue flower was the same color as Finty's hair, the flower had big petals and a thin stem. Saze held the flowerpot and leaned against the stone wall and he suddenly saw there is a thin and blue color energy that was like silk flowing on the petals.
"Finty, what's this?" Saze asked.
"That's the mana on the flower, didn't I teach you that everything contains mana." Finty roll her eyes.
"But I never see them materialize." Saze takes the flowerpot close to his face and gazes at the petals.
"That's because I use the mana to replace the nutrition." Finty answered.
"Oh, arcane magic can also work in this way?" Saze said in surprise.
"Yes, you can also use your mana to replace blood so you can consider mana as extra blood." Finty explained.
"If you use blood arcane then it will be better because you can materialize the real blood." Finty added after explaining.
Saze's looks up as if thinking something. Memory of Earth appears in his mind, through watching anime, he imagines an evil arcane mage using blood arcane to harm people.
"That's seems what evil people do..." Saze said in a deep voice.
"Don't let stereotypes slander others..." Finty's lips corner twitches a bit.
"In fact, those blood arcane are uses to heal people not to harm people. I have a friend who is using blood arcane and he was a great doctor that saved a hundred lives." Finty added.
Arcane is a tool that can save others and harm others. No matter what arcane magic it is, the core is still the user.
"Oh, that's cool then! I want to learn it!" Saze said with shining eyes.
Saze acts so excitedly because one of his dreams is to become a great doctor who saves people and other of his dreams is to be an author, pilot, and lawyer. As for why there are so many dream jobs, it's because what he thinks is that if he can't do this, then he tries this.
It won't go wrong to leave more escape routes for yourself.
"Ugh... I'm not sure that you can handle blood arcane. Commonly, our first arcane is elements arcane, just like your wind arcane, it is because we can contact them every day." Finty explained.
"But isn't we contact the blood every day? The blood was flowing in our body." Saze asked a difficult question to answer.
"Ugh..." Finty is stunned for a moment and thinks deeply.
"I don't know, but what I know is elements is the basic and the first arcane magic awakened in people." Finty spreading both hands means that she doesn't know either.
"I will ask that doctor about this question." Finty added and put everything in the small wooden trunk.
After preparing everything, Finty and Saze go out of the ruined palace. Many spiders and also Moty is here, seems they are waiting for Finty and Saze.
"Oh, Finty you finally done!" Moty said happily.
"The carriage is here already." Moty added.
The rapid sound of horse hooves slowly amplified a luxury carriage that had 4 brown horses that were controlled by a man. That man was young and wore a black robe, white shirt, and black pants. He has sharp eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips which give him an arrogant aura.
He glances around this area and gazes at Saze. At this moment, their eye contact, and Saze felt an invisible pressure of mountain as if pressed him down. Saze's breathing became rapid and his hair stood on end, as if he was alone and facing a strong enemy.
At the next moment, the man looks away. Nobody sees that the body of Saze was trembling lightly.
The black wooden carriage with ornate gold engraving and a metal wheel. Finty opened the door of the carriage, revealing the pure white leather on the seat and a small table connected at the end.
"Alright, I will go now. Moty, take care of Saze." Finty smiles and closes the door.
As the carriage faded away in the eyes of every spider and person, Saze moved, he suddenly fell to his knees and gasped for air, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.
"Ha... ha... ha..." Saze panting.
"Whoa- what happened??" Moty is confused and quickly walks to his side.
"That man... is... freaking horrible..." Saze stammers.
