The Legend Of Divine Mystics

Bobbing around in the carriage it felt like she had entered a fairy tail world. Mica was sitting beside and peppering her with some useless questions and to tell the truth it had started getting on her nerves.

" So do you live alone or with someone...you know...", said Mica with an evil glint in his eyes planning to use this information to tease Ryan.

" Ever since my parents death,village people took care of me and as I grew I learned a few things or two. I started my life in a small cottage near a lake. I prefer being independent, I don't want someone's sympathy.That doesn't mean I don't appreciate all that the people of the village have done for me.", she said in a prideful manner.

"Hmmm, I must say these people of your village seem quite wonderful.

Anuja was drinking water and thinking about all the people in the village when her train of thoughts was interrupted by hearing Mica's question.

"Well keeping this all aside from how do you find Ryan, you know as a person?"

"Huh Aahh! Cough cough", She spit out some of the water on Mica.

"Eww! Are you some retard or what huh?What are you doing?"

"Sorry sorry I just, I was just a little surprised by your sudden question that's all", she said getting a little fl.u.s.tered.

'But why did my heart rate increase like this on hearing his name?Maybe it's because of that kiss.

Ehh, just what was I thinking kissing a total stranger like that. Maybe I'm becoming too trusting given my circ.u.mstances it is possible. I need to leave this world as soon as possible. If this goes on then I'm gonna fall head over heels for that Handsome Bachelor King.'

Reaching the outskirts of the village, the carriage came to a stop. Rest of the path must be travelled on foot if we didn't want to attract the attention of other people or rather demons.

Yes, you heard it right, a town full of demons. Anuja was getting a little nervous but if she wanted to meet the old witch she must do this.

Seeing her nervous form, Mica even suggested they could return back but Anuja must meet her today.

After walking for about an hour or so we reached the village centre. Looking around what she saw was a bustling market full of people of different size and shape. Some had huge horns and gigantic bodies, so some had tails and wings. Whereas some as small as dwarfs, if not for their distinct features.

Looking around she saw quite many types of things, ranging from pieces of jewellery to groceries for daily necessities. But what she felt astonishing was the weird looking ingredients.

Some of them looked like octopus but were different in colour whereas others were completely different from what she has ever seen. Peculiar to eyes and nose, they smelled gross.

But according to Mica, they were a local speciality.

"I must thank the gods that I wasn't served something like this at castle or I would die of starvation."

"Don't worry Liz wouldn't let that happen. For you researched in various books about the daily lives of humans and their consumption habits.", said Mica in a happy goes lucky tone.

To tell you the truth his words normally aren't very much reassuring, but from the time that Anuja spent with him, she learned that he is quite capable and trusted by Ryan. After all he is one of his six generals.

After some shopping, Mica had to purchase some things for himself so we went separate for some time. But before going on he gave Anuja a magical dagger saying that if she's in any kind of danger to whisper the origins or name of enemy to the dagger.

Which is quite weird after all what can a dagger do on hearing her enemies names ,but anyway she agreed to it. He gave her a small horn to blow in case of emergency ,it shall let him know her location.We agreed to meet at the same location after 2 hours time.

And with his departure she began her search for the place where life and death meet.

Moving around aimlessly she kept on thinking of all possible places ,but none of them matched the description of the witch.

'A place where an infirmary for child birth is present besides a cemetery. But where can I find it? Hmmm I can't go around asking some demons about such a place .What to do, what to do?'

"Bam" Anuja saw the world around her changing and the sky appeared in her eyesight and she fell down with a thud.

"Ouch! That hurt like hell." She g.r.o.a.n.e.d.

"I'm really sorry ,but isn't hell a good place? " ,said a low pitched cute voice .

Looking up Anuja saw a cute little demon girl. She had two horns sprouting out from her head.'Well may be it is for demons but I don't think the humans shall agree with it' But before she could reply she heard a panicked voice interrupting her.

" Natalia haven't I told you to look before you leap forward. Now look what you did." ,said a middle aged demoness looking somewhat similar to the young one.

"I'm really sorry for my daughter's mistake ,please forgive her.", said the women bowing her head towards me repeatedly with an apologetic look.

"Oh No, no there is no need to apologise to me. I understand that it was a mistake, it's perfectly fine."

" Thank you very much for accepting my apology you are such a kind person. If I can help you in any way then...", said the women with a soft look in her eyes.

'Hm, maybe this is my chance ,I can ask her for the witches address . But I must remain discreet about it. Who knows how may she react on hearing about this?'

"Mmmm if you don't mind then is there a place nearby where an infirmary is situated besides a cemetery.", Anuja said nervously.

She said in a contemplating and an apologetic manner," I don't know about an infirmary situated near a cemetery. I'm sorry I wasn't of any use to you."

"Ohh it's ok at least you tried. Well do you know of a place at the outskirts of this village where life meets death or maybe a mysterious place where people are afraid to go."

" There is a strange place at the outskirts of the city. It is said whoever goes there never comes back. "

"Can you show the way to that location???"

"Ummm I can't go there but I can tell you the way... But I think you shouldn't go there it can vet dangerous and who knows what may happen to you there..."

" It's ok I will be fine . Can you tell me the way?"

" Fine ,if you insist..."

Learning the way to the witches lair (probably) Anuja went on her way, moving around with the memory of directions given by the kind lady .

As she moved on and on her surroundings started to change into a creepy forest area with no light penetrating through the huge canopies above her.

The deathly aura around her was starting to creep her out, but she focused on the journey ahead and her end goal. To meet the witch and find a way to go back home.

Going on and on lot time had passed when light radiating my whole being was seen.

Reaching towards it ,she went through that opening only to find a cottage surrounded by beautiful vegetation of creeper and tall lush trees ,it felt so lively and refreshing. It felt like life had returned to her tired limbs.

This was truly the meeting point of life and death of forest, a meeting point of light and darkness.

But the strange thing was that the area was still covered with canopies ,then how did this area felt so bright even though it was the middle of the forest?

While she contemplated this, the creaking sound of an old door being unlocked was heard.

Looking up she found that the door to the little cottage was unlocked ,she inched closer to it slowly, steadily and carefully.

On reaching near it she opened it full but was unable to seen anything through sheer darkness deciding to go inside ,to get a better look.

Moving in ,suddenly the ground disappeared underneath her making her fall into an abyss of darkness.
