65 Hurry, hide!!! (1/2)
now,she's really sensitive about stuff being worthy or not. Her last relationship made her felt unworthy long enough that it had ingrained in her mind for so long. She had made a vow this new life would be a new chance for her to be who she really is. Someone who are worthy enough to love herself and those around her. Those who deemed she isn't that important, It is better to leave them behind and just march forward. She will do what she need to do. Not to impress anyone, simply just to live to the fullest. A life where at the end of it, she could reminisce and proudly say, 'I had lived well and I have no regret'.
Iiana sighs. No matter how much she said her past didn't bother her, the fact is she had a habit that would make her to always look back and make it as her point of reference. Unhealthy habit, by the way.
After looking around and finding a good spot to lie down, she set up few of her special seeds around the area.
Right when she was ready to close her eyes and rest, she felt something. The pressure had suddenly risen up, and the atmosphere seems buzzing with a powerful energy. She frowned.
Slowly,she traced down the source of it and found nothing out of sort. She was standing in front of a wide field of red hydrangea that oddly look like a sea of blood, and it seems never ending. Looking around, she was so sure that buzzing was right where she stood.
”Illusion spell?” She stomp her feet and assert some mana with the force, but whatever it is, its not something that can be easily broken with sheer force.
”A puzzle then” she thought. Why a puzzle? A puzzle, even if you force it with a sheer power.. the whole pieces will still stay in shambles. The key to a puzzle is solving the whole picture. Find the main piece of the puzzle and connect the dots. Right now, the main piece was right where she stood. Something caught her eyes and she crouch low to see it. A tiny pebble that was out of the place. It would've blended well if it it wasn't for the flashing silver symbol engraved on it. Look almost like Sanskrit but she's sure it's not. Since her blessing of languages and appraisal activated, she knew its an ancient words.
”Red illusion?” She read, drily. Rubbing her temple, she began to doubt the level of intelligence of ancient times. Just by reading that, it was simple to know that something was hidden here with the colour of red. Can they be more obvious than this?
She took the pebble and felt the string of mana that was connected to others. There were about eight of the pebbles, interconnecting, making a octagon shape around the field. Disrupting it was easy. She just had to clump it all together and throw it far away from the place and voila!
If the genius who had painstakingly made this array had seen her, he would keel over and cough blood.
A small undisturbed red pouch lying on the ground. Oddly new and definitely interest her. She picked up the pouch and was surprised that it was sometime of spatial storage, though a little bit smaller than your usual storage. She took out the thing hidden from the ring and almost fall on her butt with a yelp.
A head of A red dragon! Or to be exact, its a mask of a dragon. Two sharp protruding horns grace with a beautiful silky white mane. A pair of menacingly reptilian eyes, and scales that felt like it was alive. The fangs was ivory white but sharp like those of what sabertooth might once owned. While she had met some people with weird taste like collecting spooky dolls and old junks, this definitely take the cake. The appraisal couldn't measure nor provide her any information.
