The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

: Night Escape

“Rorschach!” Lux exclaimed in a low voice, “Is that you?”

The people behind her let go of their hands, and Lacus hurriedly looked back, seeing the familiar grimace of a barbarian boy.

“You…” Lacus didn’t know what to say for a moment, “How did you get in here?”

Rorschach took out something from his pocket, it turned out to be LaxanThe brass locks on the windows had been picked.

“Ass…your parents…have you…locked up?”

Facing Rorschach’s question, Lax looked away in a panic. She really didn’t have the face to tell Rorschach that she installed the lock herself.

“Hmm…” Feeling flustered, Lux lied.

Rorschach patted Lacus’s head pitifully: “I’m sad…don’t…I’ll take you…out to play…”

“Going out to play?” Lux looked at herself, she was still wearing pajamas, “No! My family is here…”

“Before dawn… take you back…” Rorschach stood up, pushed open the French window, walked to the balcony, and stretched out his hand to Lacus, “I’ll take you…to see…great things…do you want to come? ?”

Lacus bit her lips hard, feeling entangled in her heart. Luo Xia’s hand was placed in front of her like this, and the boy’s figure was shrouded in the moonlight, hazy but extremely clear.

“Should I hold this hand? What will I become if I hold it? If I don’t hold it… what will I become?”

Lacus took a deep breath, it was time for her to make a decision.

…

Rorschach’s footsteps were brisk and agile, leading Lacus to trot in the forest.

Lax held Rorschach’s hand tightly. This hand was about the same size as hers. It belonged to a child, but it was full of wounds and calluses, just like her father’s hand. Holding it made people feel at ease.

“Rorschach, where are we going?” For the first time in such a dark night, Lacus left home and ran into the wild, but unexpectedly, with Rorschach by her side, she didn’t feel too scared.

“Go…to a good place…” Rorschach looked at Lacus, “Your hand…can still…glow”

Lacus was taken aback: “What?”

“I want to see…that light.” Rorschach said, “In the night…your light…must be…beautiful…”

Hearing the word “beautiful”, Lacus blushed a little: “That thing doesn’t listen to me, sometimes it will run out, and sometimes it won’t…”

“Try”

“what?”

“Try… let the light come out.”

Rorschach stopped in his tracks, faced Lacus, and took her hands together: “Try.”

Lacus sighed helplessly: “I really can’t do anything about you…Let me try…”

She calmed down and said to herself, “Come out… come out…”

As if responding to Lacus’ wish, a faint warm yellow light emerged from the palms of Lacus’ hands, condensing into two balls of light.

“It really came out!” Lacus exclaimed, this was the first time these lights listened to her like this.

Rorschach looked at the ball of light fascinatedly: “It’s so beautiful…ass…you can…magic…”

Hearing “magic”, Lacus was shocked, and hurriedly said to Rorschach: “Don’t talk nonsense! If you let others know that I know magic, I will definitely be locked up.”

Rorschach asked puzzledly: “Magic… powerful…why… should it be turned off?”

“Because magic is evil, magic will only bring disasters and tragedies.” Lux’s expression darkened, “My uncle was killed by magic…”

Rorschach still didn’t understand: “In our place…people who know magic…are respected…they can…fight and heal…”

Lacus said in surprise: “No way… Magic is an evil existence, and Demacia’s law expressly prohibits magic… I have been keeping the fact that I can shine from my family. If it is discovered… I don’t even know what will happen…”

Rorschach looked at Lacus’ distressed look, and smiled slightly: “It’s okay…if… Demacia…don’t want you…I want you…”

Lax’s pupils shrank, and she made a meaningless babble, but couldn’t speak.

Rorschach continued to lead Lacus into the depths of the forest. The girl looked at his back, her face flushed like a ripe apple.

“Was that just… a confession?” Lacus felt that every heartbeat was shaking her whole body. She couldn’t hear anything, and her head became dizzy. In the whole world, only Rorschach’s back remained clear.

“It’s not good, it’s not good, it’s not good…” Lacus seemed to know what emotion was causing the throbbing in her heart, but it was really hard for her to admit it.

She can’t admit it.

The light in Lux’s hand illuminated the way forward, and Rorschach easily led her around the thorn bushes and mud, and came to a small mound in the forest.

“Thank you.” Rorschach said suddenly

“Ah?” Lux responded in a panic, “Thank me for what?”

“Your light… traveling at night… is much more convenient…”

“Oh…” For the first time in her life, Lacus felt that she would shine. It was great.

Rorschach led Lacus up the small mound, where a simple tent was set up.

“Welcome…to…my house…” Rorschach said with a smile.

“This is your home.” Lacus looked at the patched tent, and looked at Rorschach pitifully.

Rorschach didn’t notice Lacus’ gaze. He whistled. The tune of the whistle was very strange, like a bird’s song or a wolf’s howl.

A white, fat, chubby, furry thing jumped out of Rorschach’s tent and jumped into Rorschach’s arms.

“What’s that?” Lux widened her eyes in shock, she seemed to recognize the round little guy in Rorschach’s arms.

Rorschach rubbed the little fur ball, held it up in front of Lacus.

Snow-white fluffy hair, a ball-like body, a pair of smallThe horns grow on the head, and the short limbs are flapping in the air.

Seeing Lacus with glowing hands, the little guy showed a big smile, sticking out his big tongue from his mouth, panting like a puppy.

“This is… a Poro!” Lux couldn’t help exclaiming, the surprise was beyond words, and the stars almost didn’t pop out of her eyes. “This is the first time I’ve seen a real Poro!”

How could Lux ​​not be pleasantly surprised, the Poro is a unique species in the Freljord, but it is well known by the entire Valoran continent for no other reason – this little guy is so cute.

Lux still remembered that when she was only five or six years old, her favorite things were picture books and dolls related to Poro. At that time, she still cried and asked her parents to bring her a real Poro to raise.

“You said…you like… Poro… just… my friend… entrusted me to take care of… one.” Rorschach stuffed the Poro into Lux’s arms, “It… accidentally… Injured…follow me…heal your wounds.”

Lux hugged the little Poro at a loss, she didn’t expect her childhood dream to come true so suddenly.

Poro also seems to like Lux, a little girl whose hands emit warm light, and she is very comfortable being hugged by Lux, bathed in the warm yellow light ball.

Lax felt the touch of this little creature in her arms. It was fluffy, soft, and had the warmth of a creature, which was more comfortable than a plush toy. Lux was so excited that her voice was so high: “Rorschach Rorschach! Look! It likes me!”

Rorschach smiled slightly: “It feels…your light…is very warm…the Poro…likes…gentle people…so…your magic…impossible…evil…”

Lux’s heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably: “My… magic… is not evil but gentle.”

—————————————————————————————————————

Demacia is an extremely forbidden country. The anti-magic order runs through the history of Demacia. The existence of any magic and mages is strictly prohibited in Demacia. This is true in the entire Valoran continent that advocates magic power Unique.

Demacians believe that magic is the source of disasters and evils, and people who are infected with magic will be corrupted by magic and become evil. They also believe that only gods have the ability to control magic, and mortals, whether kings or commoners, should stay as far away from magic as possible under any circumstances.
