22 All Alone (1/2)

*In the time that this was going on with Oumad, Herald, Sebastin and Elara.*

'Beazly and the rest when fully passed the gate, were astonished by what they've seen.

a long straight road surrounded by water from both sides, leading to what seemed to be again, another big Gate.

On both sides existed gardens of beautiful flowers and plants.

Two average-size houses of great beauty, built in a manual way using bricks of steel, one painted in white and the other in black'

'The view was eye-catching and stopped the 3 from executing as fast as possible.'

Joshou. ”It is very well made, never seen a better place in my life but le'ts walk towards the next Gate.

'The 3 did so while having their guard on, looking on both sides and their behinds with every step they take...

When they reached the middle of the road.

A rawr so loud and powerful made their skin immediatly stand up...

Scared, Ayla shouted. ”WH...WHAT WAS THAT???”

Beazly held Ayla's hand and pulled her behind his back instantly.

”..I heard a lot of those back in my homeland...

This is without a doubt...A Lion's rawr.

Stay behind me please.”

Joshou. ”..I could not detect where the sound came from.

I wasn't expecting such thing...

Let's keep moving slowly..”

'As the three made another step..'

From the Heavens!!

Came down a huge, furocious Lion right in front of them, landed on his legs majestically by a distance of 5 meters only.

His body is huge, His hair is as black as it could get. Showing the power and dominance that he possess. He looked like he's at the peak of his prime years.

When his eyes met theirs, terror was put deep in their hearts!!

Joshou took a defensive stance again, and pulled out of nowhere two small knuckle blades on each of his hands.

Beazly with a worried smile said.

”....What a big boy we got here! Please stay behind me at all costs. You too Joshou

I will handle this.”

'Ayla was so scared she couldn't even talk but she knew that she has to protect them all from this.

Unwillingly, her body moved in front of Beazly.

Light shined from her eyes and hands as she moved towards the Lion.'

Beazly shouted loudly. ”WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”

'He tried to pull her back.

But Joshou grabbed his hand and looked at him straight to the eye.

A look that made Beazly understand that he should trust Ayla's acts.'

'Ayla got closer and closer to the Lion, the more she got closer the more he lowered his big fluffy head,

Until she was close enough to touch him, and like a cute little cat he closed his eyes and rubbed his head on her tendereous hands.'

'Beazly and Joshou stood up and were amazed by what they've seen.

Ayla's light started to disappear as she was playing with the Lion.

No more scared, on the contrary she looked so happy to play with the beast!!'

She turned her head towards Beazly and Joshou, who were shocked still and said.

”Isn't he lovely? You can all come play with him now hahahah.”

Beazly replied. ”..Well, back in my homeland there was no playing with these beats.

Either that or you get slaughtered and eaten.”
